Hello,

I am a newbie in the network. Our company has an AR1220E, which has two interfaces connected to two ISPs respectively. How can I configure to load balance the traffic on these two interfaces?

Thank you!

Posted by user_3751116 at 2020-03-23 02:50 I have adopted two default routes to make uplink traffic load-balanced. Is there any way to balance ...
Hi,
If the firewall is used, the ISP link selection function can be used to enable terminals to access resources of different ISPs through the routes of the corresponding ISPs. This makes the downlink traffic of the two links relatively balanced.

However, this function cannot be implemented on the router.
I hope this helps you.

hi user,

For Solution your Required Scenario, as primary link for ISP2 and Standby link for ISP1 , you can find below Scenario configuration for the same :

 

Example :

523fee68936449bf8be0c3824904acf7

 

Configure connectivity at the network layer.

# Assign an IP address to each interface. Use RouterA as an example.

<Huawei> system-view

[Huawei] sysname RouterA

[RouterA] interface gigabitethernet1/0/0

[RouterA-GigabitEthernet1/0/0] ip address 10.1.2.1 255.255.255.0   “Enter the IP address for each interface connected to ISP”

[RouterA-GigabitEthernet1/0/0] quit

[RouterA] interface gigabitethernet2/0/0

[RouterA-GigabitEthernet2/0/0] ip address 10.1.3.1 255.255.255.0    “Enter the IP address for each interface connected to ISP”

[RouterA-GigabitEthernet2/0/0] quit

 

2- # On RouterA, configure Default routes to ISPs interfaces and Bind with NQA

[RouterA] ip route-static 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 X.X.X.X“NEW ISP IP address on the router” preference 80 track nqa user test

[RouterA] ip route-static 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 X.X.X.X“Old ISP IP address on the router” preference 60

 

3- Configure an NQA test instance on RouterA.

# Configure the ICMP NQA test instance on RouterA.

[RouterA] nqa test-instance user test

[RouterA-nqa-user-test] test-type icmp

[RouterA-nqa-user-test] destination-address ipv4  Y.Y.Y.Y “ the IP address of New ISP which is assigned at ISP Router side”

[RouterA-nqa-user-test] frequency 11

[RouterA-nqa-user-test] probe-count 2

[RouterA-nqa-user-test] start now

[RouterA-nqa-user-test] quit

Hi User,

  • Configure a Layer 2 Eth-Trunk.

  1. Run:


    system-view

    The system view is displayed.


  2. Run:


    load-balance { dst-ip | dst-mac | src-ip | src-mac | src-dst-ip | src-dst-mac }

    A load balancing mode is configured for the Eth-Trunk.

    By default, the load balancing mode of a Layer 2 Eth-Trunk is src-dst-mac.

    Eth-Trunk member interfaces use flow-based load balancing. The local and remote ends can use different load balancing modes, without affecting each other.

    imgDownload?uuid=1ac992fffa8d46d581b53a5 NOTE:

    All Layer 2 Eth-Trunks in the system must use the same load balancing mode. If the load balancing mode of one Eth-Trunk is changed, all the other Eth-Trunks use the new load balancing mode.


Configure a Layer 3 Eth-Trunk.

  1. Run:


    system-view

    The system view is displayed.


  2. Run:


    interface eth-trunk trunk-id

    The Eth-Trunk interface view is displayed.


  3. Run:


    load-balance { dst-ip | dst-mac | src-ip | src-mac | src-dst-ip | src-dst-mac }

    A load balancing mode is configured for the Eth-Trunk.

    By default, the load balancing mode of a Layer 3 Eth-Trunk is src-dst-ip.

    Eth-Trunk member interfaces use flow-based load balancing. The local and remote ends can use different load balancing modes, without affecting each other.

Thank you, I read the document you posted. But it seems that the member ports of an eth-trunk can only be the same device. But we need to connect the router to two ISPs. Do you have any other suggestions?
