T1 Load Balancing
I have a Cisco 2610 with one Full T and one half T. Both with different IP spaces from the ISP. (Could they have the same IP space?) How could the load balancing be done with a full and a fractional T?
ASKER
But one is only a fractional T. Doesn't that matter?
No, it doesn't matter with static routes. One link will be faster than the other, thats all. If you were running a routing protocol with your ISP, it would matter as the full T1 would be used first, the second would be used as a backup link, unless you manipulated the route cost.
ASKER
If one packet is sent to each T, the frac T will "run out" of bandwidth first but packet will still be sent to that T, correct?

I think that points should be split between:

Both methods would work, and are equally valid answers.

Very gracious Justin but I think it should be split 3 ways between:

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 68.x.x.1
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 68.x.x.2
This will essentially load balance between the two T1's.
