[rbak-nsp] Link-Group Questions

[Michael J. Gage]

I enabled the layer-4 option, and it had no effect on my port traffic.

During peak data usage, I get dangerously close to maxing out the 2 ports. If I do not find an answer, I will have to split the 4 ports into 2 separate link-groups adding unwanted complexity to my network layout.

Hi,

Did you tried to use layer-4 balancing?

[local]Redback(config)#service load-balance ip layer-4
