Load Balance PPPoE Sessions
Posted: 08 Jan 2018, 23:46
Hey All,
Im looking at putting up 5 accel-ppp boxes, each with the same incoming vlan's, and i want to try to load balance the customers as best I can, how is that going to work? What kind of config options do i need to set? Im hoping for something automatic, but if need-be I guess I can manually set response delays for different vlan ranges on the boxes.
Additionally, If i have a customer with a static IP, I am thinking about using RIP to route my static ip's one at a time to whichever concentrator happens to pick up that customer. Basically I am going for full redundancy on everything, so i can yank a concentrator out of service and the customers should only see a momentary glitch in their internet.
Has anyone ever done anything like this? Either the load balance or the Static Ip between concentrator, maybe RIP is the wrong way to do it?
Thanks,
Matt
