Hi Rashid,
Static routes will not be efficient in terms of sharing the load of the 2
E1 links. If one of the network connecting to link1 generates more traffic
than the other link, then it defeats the purpose of commissioning another
new 2Mbps to sharing the congestion.

Hi Remmert,
I thought you could use HSRP to load balance as well as for redundancy..
Here's an link showing how to set this up
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/619/7.html
However, using HSRP for load sharing is only useful in certain
situations..

Not sure, just wondering! Or will only the first static get all the packets?

Hi Remmert,
Thank you for your advise. Below is the updated network diagram.

| Cisco 2501 R1 |

if you are running ppp encapsulation over those two lines (which you should
consider) you can run a multilink (go to cco and do search on configuring
virtual templates), and have a full pipe of 3 mb.
other way is to run one of the routing protocols, whichever you want.

What is this supposed to mean?

Hi Cheeyong,
HSRP indeed won't do the trick, this is a redundancy mechanism.
To enable load-sharing, check what routing protocol you are running. OSPF
and EIGRP are able to do equal-cost load-sharing by default. If the 2 serial
links are unequal cost, I'd recommend EIGRP to provision unequal-co
10 matches
