Chapter 13 Troubleshooting Load Balancing
Configuration Examples for Troubleshooting Load Balancing
Troubleshooting Layer 2 Load Balancing Example
Table 13-2 shows the sample configuration that this section uses to describe the troubleshooting process
for Layer 2 load balancing. Two routers, Router A and Router B, connect back to back over three serial
Gigabit Ethernet interfaces that are grouped into a bundle.
Verifying the Bundle Status
The configuration in Table 1 3-2 shows that a bundle is configured. Enter the show bundle command to
verify the configuration:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:RouterB# show bundle bundle-ether12
Fri Oct 24 02:31:14.331 PST DST
State: 0 - Port is Detached. 1 - Port is Waiting.
2 - Port is Attached. 3 - Port is Collecting.
4 - Port is Distributing.

This verifies that the bundle is active and is using the three expected interfaces (ports). If the bundle on
your system is not active, troubleshoot that problem first. It might not have the minimum number of
active links or minimum bandwidth to come up.
