Route Reflector

[m-ott]

Hi

I have a Network with about 14 PE's and totally 800 vpnv4 Prefixes.

I thought about a design with redundant 7200 as Route Reflectors.

Now the question: Could i use two PE's (6500 Sup 720) as Route Reflector? So i wouldn't have to buy two 7200.

Hello Patrick,

As you know that Route Reflectors as a concept is applicable for networks having heavy IBGP mesh, and also involves quite a burden on the processor.

Coming back to your question !!! Yes a couple of 6500 with SUP 720 can be used, you can try this new IOS release 12.2(17b)SXA.

with this question, I want to do another question...

I can use Router-Reflector and Multipath at same VRF ?

Thanks

You can as long as you use a different RD per PE for the same VRF. Otherwise, the route reflector sees a given prefixe coming from different PEs as the same, chooses one and advertise that single prefix to its clients, which prevents the other PEs to use the multiple paths to this destinations.

Hope this helps,
