Cisco Switching/Routing :: Cannot Test EtherChannel Load Balance On 6506?
Sep 7, 2012
I'm have ether channel between CISCO 6506 and CISCO 3750X. I'm set load-balance ip-src from 6506 side and dst-ip from 3750 side. i'm try test etherchannel for detect physical link for test ip. On 3750 all work, but on 6506 i'm get error: test etherchannel load-balance interface port-channel 1 ip 10.10.10.2 10.10.10.1 ^ % Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
Ether channel: Cisco documents say Cisco uses proprietary hashing algorithm to compute a binary pattern that selects a link in the bundle. For example below a 2961 router with a switch module " NM-16ESW" performs" XOR" operation to compute the binary value to select a link.
1)Would you guys share the output " show ether channel load-balance" on your platforms?( i just want to see how different platform support different algorithm besides xor). Layer 3 ether channel on a sw.
On router, we first create ether channel and then assign int into port channel. Suppose we have a layer 3 switch and we want to put ports f1/1-2 in port channel 1. Can i configure like this: sw(con) int range f1/1-2 no switch port channel-group 1 mode desirable. Or we must create a port channel just like we do on router and then assign ports to port channel?
Backbone fast: Suppose we have a switch with three ports, f1/1.f1/2.f1/3. f1/1 ( root port) f1/2( blocking) f1/3 ( designated port).
Backbone fast is enabled on our network. Suppose sw receives a inferior bpdu on its current root port f1/1. Sw sends out RLQ on its designated port(f1/2) and Blocked port (f1/3). Suppose sw receives the rlq reply on its designated port ( f1/2). What will sw do? Will it expire the max-age timer on its root port ( f1/1) or will sw wait for all the rlq responses then expire the max-age timer on its root port ( f1/1) ?
I am installing a several new Cisco VM servers. The VM hosts are losing connectivity when we apply the etherchannel config in the core stack. VMware has stated that the etherchannel load balance needs to be src-dst-ip in order for the etherchannel to work.However, my current stack has 2 etherchannels configured to other switches through out the bldg in network closets. The current load balance configuration is src-mac.My question....when I make the change to src-dst-ip, will my network connectivity go down? I saw there was an older article on this that doesnt provide an answer just a work around. Here is the article. [URL].
I have 3 877 ADSL routers for internet connectivity. I recently installed a FW behind them and would like to use the Ciscos as load balance in order to get better utilization from my 3 internet links.
1) the 3 routers are on DHCP from the ISP on the WAN side.
2) the 3 ciscos are on the same class C subnet on the LAN side: 10.201.1.252, 10.201.1.253 and 10.201.1.254
I'm setting up a lot of small remote sites that are only reachable via VHF ethernet radios that operate at 32k. I'm going to be using 2 of these radios shooting to two seperate base station radios to provide diversity. I'm going to have a Cisco 1941 sitting between the two radios and the way I have it configured now is to only use one radio and the second is only sitting there in case the primary fails. I was thinking though that I could load balance them to give a little more throughput. The devices at these sites are really low speed but we like to use snmp to monitor everything that is ethernet so I wanted to give as much bandwidth as I can.
Will load balancing work in this situation? What would the basic configuration be? This is all internal to our network so there are no ISPs to deal with. We're using C1900-UNIVERSALK9-M IOS will that work or will I need to change that?
We have to cisco WS-C4900M with Cisco IOS Software, Catalyst 4500 L3 Switch Software (cat4500e-IPBASE-M), Version 12.2(53)SG5, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1).We have four gigabit link connected between those two switches.We have create a LACP port channel with those four ports on both switches. Ether-channel is up and running and defined with a load-balancing method of src-dst-ip.But when we test the load-balancing, it's not using the src-dst-ip rule with the XOR: [code]
I have probem with symmetric load balancig, in case when both ends of ether channel are on the sam switch (we are using VLAN translation).We need to create L2 port channel with both ends on same switch (Cisco WS-C4500X-24X-ES), for example:Po1 – Gi0/1, Gi0/3 (one end of port channel )Po2 – Gi0/2, Gi0/4 (other end of port channel)On ports in Po2 we will configure VLAN mapping.My question is what is the best ether-channel load-balancing scheme with wich we can accomplish full symmetry in both directions? For example, if traffic in one direction goes through Gi0/1 (member of Po1), in other direction also must go through Gi0/1. This is required because we need to connect four appliances for DPI (they are full L2 transparent) and traffic through each appliance need to be symmetric.
I can set-up src-ip, dst-ip, src-dst-ip etc. load balancing, but, actually I need src-ip on Po1 and dst-ip on Po2. Is there any way to set up different load balancing mechanism for different ether channel on same switch (4500X).
Is it possible to use two different load balancing methods at each end of a port-channel between two switches?
We have a Cisco 6509 at one end of the port-channel and a Cisco blade switch 3020 at the other end. Right now, we are using "src-dst-ip" at both end of the port-channel. We would like to change this. That is, we would like the #3020 switch to use "src-dst-ip" while the 6509 switch should use the "src-dst-port".
Why we want to do this, the reason is that we have FWSMs on the 6509. I've read that by configuring "src-dst-port" on the 6509, one can get a better performance of traffic going through the FWSM. However, the issue is that the 3020 switch does not support "src-dst-port".
Will there be some pause in traffic on formed ether channel interfaces (4500E switch), when i will change the default ether channel load balancing method to src-dst-port (or any other non-default method)?
What is the best way to load balance traffic between an FWSM and ASA 5520? Both are attached to a 6509-E (in seperate VLANs). The problem is the FWSM doesn't support any dynamic routing protocols (in multi context mode). So with my limited knowledge I don't see a way to do this.
Is it possible configuring load balance with three intefaces, in my router with the following features?I have three ISP, and would like balance the traffic ...

I am using 192.168.1.1 as database server in head office. my branch user are more than 500. all user hit at 192.168.1.1 for database. Now i want to NAT with application server 192.168.1.50 and 192.168.1.51 with load balance As some user hit 192.168.1.1 form branch but traffic go to 192.168.1.50 and some users traffic go to 192.168.1.51.
I want to do it in My core router (Cisco 3845) in Head office. How i do these two things ?
I have problem with VPN and Load Balance at the same time.VPN (Gateway to Gateway) between two RV042 routers is working fine with only one WAN or two WAN's with Smart Link Backup. If i switch to Load Balance communication through VPN is almost impossible.
I have postgres server (port 5432) in first location and clients in another. Clients cannot connect to server or lose connection after while. This is example, but every communicaton except ICMP over VPN with Load Balance enabled is faulty (file sharing, RDP...). Everything works fine using public IP and port forwarding or VPN with only one WAN.
If i understand it correctly Protocol Binding should affect only "normal" communication (outside of VPN), but it looks like VPN communication is also divided between WAN1 and WAN2. Of course this cannot work this way because VPN works only with one WAN.
Another question - is it possible to bind communication TO selected target port with RV042 Load Balancing to selected WAN?
I would like know, what license is necessary to employ a load-balance in a 2911 router. I have these licenses bellow, can i configure an load balance?In this cenario we have two links with an ISP.

We have a Dlink Lb 604 router. We have two wan connections. Connection 1 has a speed up to 8 Mbps.Connection 2 has a speed of 1Mbps.We set the load balance to 50-50. When we tested the speed with two lines it is showing 1 Mbps only.When working with connection 1 we are getting speed upto 6 Mbps.
I have a D-Link DSL 2640B on the way which I plan on using to replace my 2Wire modem. The 2640B is a combination of a modem/wireless device. Does it dynamically load balances the internet connection? Sometimes while I'm playing online games on my PC and a few others are using the internet for browsing or Youtube, I lag A LOT. Latency shoots up from 10 to 200. QoS goes to ****. And I only need 0.50-1Mbps to keep a steady online play. This was the problem with my 2Wire. So does the 2640B load balance the bandwidth?our max speed is 3.5Mbps according to the ATT Rep.
i need to know how many links i can using with load-balance on the same router ? i have router cisco 2901 , 3 providers , every provider having 4 links can i load balance between 12 links ? i am using static route
What is the load balance method of 3750 port channel ( by source ip , or by source mac ) to diver traffic to paths? I have tried to use 10.242.104.101 and 10.242.104.102 as source ip, it will travel to the same link (G0/1) within one port channel (G0/1+G0/2). Howerver, if I later use 10.242.104.109, then this time it will traffic to G0/2 link. What's the concept behind.
I want to split my traffic between two ISP's. I want all traffic to pass over one connection EXCEPT my VPN tunnels, which I want to use the second ISP. How should I set up (protocol binding?) to accomplish this? (I have run into various problems trying to load balance all traffic. So I am trying to "partition" traffic.)
I have set up an RV042 v1 and v3 both in Load Balancing mode. Set in Router mode.I want one of the WAN ports to be preferred so I added a static route to 0.0.0.0 metric 5 to that WAN.Sometimes the route shows in the routing table and sometimes it goes away!!
I've finished a part of the configs on above equipments, please refer to the attached diagram.And I'm making a test in order to achieve the below features:
1. By default, packets from PC1 go out through ISP 1. Packets from PC2 go out through ISP 2 2. When ISP 1 is down, packets from PC1 changed its way to ISP 2 through the 2800 router. And when ISP 2 is down, Packets from PC2 changed its way to ISP 1 through ASA 5510.
I have several RV16 with two internet connections each one, but different speed each wan connection, it takes the slowest wan connection allways, I use the round robin option, any clue in configuring?
We want to us an ISA570 and load balance between two isp connections, two of our switches will be standalones and not connected to one another. One switch will be for data and another VOIP/Data. The ISA will also do NAT and we need to make sure that the VOIP network can get out to the first isp. I assume we will need a static route for that to make sure it goes out the right isp. I just don't know if routing mode needs to be enabled in order to specify a static route, because I heard you can't have NAT and do routing mode at the same time.
I configured a RV042 to load balance 2 WANs. It appears to working well but I would like a 2nd opinion as to whether or not I chose the proper settings to accomplish the task.
1. WAN1(ISP1) is the existing internet connection(1.5mb T1). I have a block of static IPs with ISP1. 2. I added ISP2 to the RV042's WAN2 connection to increase bandwith (10mb). I only have one static IP on ISP2. 3. I want everyone on this router to use WAN2... well... almost everyone... for the most part. 4. I want to keep WAN1 active on this router because there will be periodic inbound connections using static IPs (from ISP1) that are setup with one-to-one NAT. I also have a voicemail system that needs to continue to use ISP1's email relay (SMTP,25).
Anyway, I was able get the outgoing traffic that had to remain on WAN1 working with protocol binding. In order to get the router to use WAN2 for pretty much everything else, I set it for load balancing and set "Max. Bandwidth provided by ISP" for WAN1 up & down kbits/sec both to 32 (very low). I left the WAN2 up & down settings to the actual speed of WAN2.
The result is very low traffic on WAN1 and lots of traffic on WAN2 which is what I wanted. Did I do this right? Is there another preferred method to accomplish this.
ISP environment with 3 Cisco 7200 BRAS ( NPE-G2 ) , we need to load balance traffic between two of them so the load balancer will accept traffic from backhauling link and distribute traffic the upper two BRAS , can we achieve this using spare 7200 we have or is there any software solution can do this .
another question , Cisco 7200 VXR ( NPE-G2 ) , does it support concurrent calls or sessions from more than 16000 subscriber ?
Have two ACE 4710 in HA setup. We would like to setup HTTPS loadbalance(actually just a primary and standby configuration in the serverfarm). Initially this would be for Exchange OWA connections but may expand to more HTTPS connections later. I know there are several ways to do SSL with the ACE( client, server, end-to-end). I am just wanting to know the easiest way to deploy this? Is a certificate always needed on the ACE for each connection? In HA mode would a certificate be needed for both or does it replicate in some way to the other ACE?
I have been experiencing some issue with a portchannel interface.I have two cisco switches 3560 and I have a portchannel between them ( It is composed by two gigabitethernet interfaces generating a portchannel of 2 Gigas ).Unfortunately, I am verifying that one interface traffics about 893MB but the other interface only traffics about 100MB.Is there any cause why is this happening? I thought that maybe both interfaces would traffic about 450MB.Is there some wrong configuration with the load-balance command?. At this moment there is no load-balance, It is only configured the port channel with the default configuration.
