VPLS Network EIGRP Stub

[willwetherman]

Hi All,

We are currently migrating to a VPLS network that will be connecting to a maximum of 50 sites. Each site will provide seats for a maximum of 40 users.

We are planning to install Cisco 3560G switches into each of the sites and create separate VLANs for data and voice networks etc, these switches will also terminate the VPLS on a dedicated VLAN.

The VPLS vlan will have an SVI with an IP address on the 172.16.10.0/26 network.

We would like to setup a routing protocol such as EIGRP on the 3560 switches as configuring statics at each site will be very messy. The 3560s will be running ipbase.

Will this be possible using the EIGRP stub functionality under ipbase? Has anyone rolled out a similar environment and had any issues with running EIGRP on the same broadcast domain with 50 sites?

Any advise would be appreciated

Thanks,

Will

Hi,

IP Base image provides EIGRP stub routing support for only those Layer  3 devices directly connected to the switch and not for routers  downstream of the switch, for full support you will have to install ip services image, but as per your requirment stub feature will work fine.
