Hi everyone!!
I need to connect two CPE routers to access the internet, and give to the hosts load balance and one gateway.
In another words, I have two different ISP, and I need to join both in one access, can I do it with a 6860E?
The CPE routers are home version, not enterprise, and from different manufactures.
Any hint's???
Tnx in advance!!

Re: dual internet access
my 0.02$:
You could theoretically try to work with QOS Rules and PBR, but frankly thats not what a L3 Switch is made for.
Even a expensive firewall from Ci*co had/has issues when it comes to loadbalanceing traffic,
I don't think you wil be happy with a 6860 doing it. I heared good comments about UBNTs Edgerouter in such situations, but have no personal experience with it.

Re: dual internet access
SLB is Serverload balancing and something completly different to load balancing internet traffic.
Also SLB will not compete against commercial load balancers that offer way more features.
on the otherhand: slb comes for free, so if you have need for that it may be worth to invest some time and see whether it fits your need - but running a linux box with ngnix/HAproxy or IPVS will most likely give you more features with a "good enough" performance.
