C100G load balancing configuration - XGIGE port

Hi

I have a C100G that is connected to a Mikrotik router

I'm worried that the router mikrotik is at 70% CPU usage, this is because of the high traffic, the more traffic the more CPU usage.

I want to know if I can make a configuration to balance the traffic for two mikrotik.

I have two smm cards SMM_2x10G

Could connect: xgige 6/0, xgige 6/1 to a mikrotik router and xgige 7/0, xgige 7/1 to another

want to know if this can be configured ?

I remain attentive to your comments and suggestions

What is the microtik router

What is the microtik router providing you in this config? The Casa has very good routing protocol support. It can be your router all by itself.

you can create trunks on the Casa, typically you would add 1 port from each card to each trunk, rather than both ports from a single SMM to a trunk.

Trunk 1 -- To One Microtik
xgige 6/0
xgige 7/0

Trunk 2 -- To Second Microtik
xgige 6/1
xgige 7/1

you would also need to have at least two Subnets that you could split between the two trunks. i.e. route one subnet out one trunk, another subnet out the other.

Config wise this would look like

! remove all IP address info from xgige interfaces

interface trunk 1
xgige 6/0
xgige 7/0
ip address ! this is typically a /30 or /29 PTP link with uplink router

interface trunk 2
xgige 6/1
xgige 7/1
ip address ! this is typically a /30 or /29 PTP link with uplink router

ip route ! this routes a particular subnet to this trunk
ip route ! this routes a particular subnet to this trunk

! repeat as necessary
