Devices number in a REP segment

[ronaldo.gama]

The documentation of REP says that the convergence time in a REP segment is between 200-300ms.

What is the maximum number of the devices in REP segment for that value of convergence?

Hi Ronaldo,

This was checked with 32 devices in a ring...convergence should be in the specified range with this many number of devices....it may go up to 500ms if you plan to include many etherchannels(with many ports) in the topology.

B/w how many devices are you planning to put in a ring?

Hi Ankur,

The customer needs to enter up to 100 devices in the ring.

The solution would be to break this ring into several sub-rings, right?

Is there any documentation that lists the number of devices in the ring with the convergence time?

Hi Ronaldo,

Can you please  explain "break this ring into several sub-rings"..

Convergence should be below 250  ms for less than 64 devices in a single ring...Each ring can havce maximum 64 devices each.
