Hello all,

I'm new to this forum but i'm in need of some technical support. This is the question:

I have 6 Internet connections by cable modem;
I have an internal network of only one subnet with 150 hosts;
I need to load balance the 6 modems trough my internal network , what HP equipment should i buy ?

Thanks for your help in advance.

PS.: Sorry for my bad english :D
 
Can it be done with a switch connecting the 6 modems and 1 port coming from that same switch connected to a router wan port ??? And then the router lan port connecting to the internal network ???
 
Hi s4kas,

No idea how you would go about this with HP specific equipment but in general i'd think that you'd need a router with 7 interfaces - one for each WAN link and one for the LAN.

The router would have to be able to load balance across the 6 WAN links.

You could try and build a free box using something like pfsense

Goodluck.
