Hi, If you want two load balanced links to the Internet then working with a single ISP you could you EIGRP with the variance command. You would have hsrp on the lan side and a interconnect between the two routers. The ISP would do something similiar at their end. With two different ISP's it's more difficult - you might need to use BGP. You would only use static routes from the Firewall to the HSRP floating IP and no dynamic routing protocol.

Hi, I would like to setup a Internet connection using 2 links to the internet - (maybe ISPs) with (maybe) 2x2MBit/s. |------------------| |------------------| | ISP1 | | ISP2 | | | | | |------------------| |------------------| | 2MBit/s | 2MBit/s | | |------------------| |------------------| | Router1 | | Router2 | | | | | |------------------| |------------------| | | | which routing protocol? | --------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------- FW-1 My question now is, which routing protocol should/ could I use between Router1 and Router2 to the firewall so that load balancing could be done. HSRP actually only supports one box with traffic, OSPF (?). However I shouldn't use a routing protocol before the firewall itself, shouldn't I? Which impacts does the selected routing protocol have to FW-1?
