Load balancing using 2 routers

[Mayaxyz]

Hi,

I want to make sure that i can load balance between 2 ISPs , using 2 different routers.
We will be having 2 internet links, each internet link is connected to a different router, an then we need to load balance and fail over from a router to another,

any advice if this can be done?

thanks,

Maya

You can use VRRP to setup a Failover between the routers, if you are using cisco routers you could also use HSRP, which is cisco's own kool-aid of VRRP. For loadbalancing you could set routes from your core to the routers with matching metrics. I know that OSPF does support types of loadbalancing that would be more controled, but I haven't found how to configure that in the extreme documentation yet.
