ASR1001 BDI interface

[Andrej Zverev]

Hello.

I plan to connect the two ASA 5540 to the ASR 1001. ASA cluster operates in active\standby mode.

I'm correctly understand the documentation that such a scheme would work right when failover will occur?

ASR IOS XE Version: 03.06.01.S

interface GigabitEthernet0/0/1

description asa1

no ip address

negotiation auto

service instance 1 ethernet

  encapsulation untagged

  bridge-domain 1

interface GigabitEthernet0/0/2

description asa2

no ip address

negotiation auto

service instance 1 ethernet

  encapsulation untagged

  bridge-domain 1

!

!

interface BDI1

ip address x.x.x.1 y.y.y.y

!

ip route 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 x.x.x.2 # as example route will work correct.

ASA interface has IP address x.x.x.2 standby x.x.x.3

Hello Andrej,

it should work as the BDI feature is like IRB in IOS routers, but in this network setup the ASR 1001 is a single point of failure.

Hope to help

Hello Giuseppe,

Thank you for confirmation of possibility. This was not complete design, in real there no point of failure actually.
