you do not need any commands to setup load balancing. The router will
automatically load balance between equal cost routes. However, by default
the router will load balance upto four equal cost routes and if you need to
load balance between paths that are greater in number than four then you
need to configure the router to do so.
You can confirm that the router is load balancing when you take a look at
the routing table and you see multiple next hops for a particular
destination. Or a more entertaining way might be to turn on debug ip packet
for packets to that destination ( do not use this command unless you know
what you are doing ) and then issue a ping to that destination. You should
see the next hop changing for every echo request ( provided the router is
configured for process switching )
