Question : Configuring a Cisco 2811 with one HWIC-4ESW and Multiple DSL connections

I have a 2811 router with one HWIC-4ESW, I want to run each dsl router on each of the HWIC interfaces.  All the DSL routers have the "Dot one" (192.168.1.1, 192.168.2.1, 192.168.3.1, 192.168.4.1) addresses,
the interfaces are programmed as such: (FA0/3/0 192.168.1.2,  FA0/3/1 192.168.2.2, FA0/3/2 192.168.3.2, FA0/3/3 192.168.4.2.    I am connecting the internal LAN to the FA0/0 10.10.1.1 with a dhcp pool of 10.10.1.30-100 with the 10.10.1.xx (30 and below excluded)

I have configured the interfaces into VLANS, Vlan1 is default for FA0/0, Vlan 2 FA0/3/0 VLAN 3  FA0/3/1, Vlan 4 FA0/3/2, and lastly VLAN 5 FA0/3/3
Can I load balance the DSL connections over the VLANs (VLAN 2-5)?  if so how?
Can I just program static routes from the FA0/0 to the seperate 192.168.x.x addresses with the priority? Max users on the internal 10.10.X.X is 60 users period. scalability is not needed, load balancing to optimize the connections is.
could you include a detailed description and how you would program this?
Thanks!

Answer : Configuring a Cisco 2811 with one HWIC-4ESW and Multiple DSL connections

Ahh, I understand now.
I was always wondering why you said "routers" but only mentioned you had 1 router (2811).

So esentially you have 5 routers- 4 DSL and 1 2811.


You can use static routes and it will load balance if the links are considered the same administrative distance and cost. (all static routes have the same AD)

So to be clear your FA0/3/0 -3 are each going to your DSL routers and the FA0/0 is going to your interior LAN (VLAN 1 only?)



Here is the documentation on this:
Load Balance

The conifgs you will need are as such:

####routes pointing to ISP####
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 FastEthernet0/3/0
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 FastEthernet0/3/1
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 FastEthernet0/3/2
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 FastEthernet0/3/3


####route back to your 10.10.1.0 network ####
####assuming your FA0/0 has and ip address of 10.10.10.2)####
ip route 10.10.1.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.2



Sorry such a long issue for such a small config.  I guess I thought you had a tougher problem than it was.
