Nortel Secure Router 8000 Series
Configuration -WAN Access 7 LAPB and X.25 configuration
7.8.9 Example for configuring the X.25 load balancing
Networking requirements
Configure hunt group on Router A which serves as an X.25 switch. Simultaneously, enable the
function of substitution between destination addresses and source addresses, so that the calls
of X.25 terminal can be sent to Router B, Router C, and Router E to achieve load balancing.
As an X.25 switching exchange, Router D performs the XOT function and connects Router A
and Router E. Router B, Router C, and Router E are DTEs in a hunt group. They provide X.25
terminals with identical services.
