I am working on a design in GNS3 to failover our MPLS links to IPSEC. At the moment, all I'm trying to do is setup BGP properly and i'm having a heck of a hard time figuring this out (very rusty here...)Based on the diagram below:on the left is our d...
Hello fellow networking engineers,I want to implement OSPF in our network. We have multiple branch offices, all linked to an MPLS backbone. I know that in order to get linked areas, I would need to setup GRE tunnels between them, but I want to avoid ...
Hi everyone,I am working on a design to provide connectivity between two datacenters and branch offices in case of MPLS connectivity failure.In a past design, I had connected my branch offices to the datacenters using Cisco ASA and IPSec VPN tunnels....
I have a server in our DMZ that is currently NATed to an external IP. Everything works fine.We need to add a second server in passive failover mode in the DMZ.If the currently NATed server fails, the second one takes over, but has a different IP addr...
I need some help... Here's the situation:We have 3 sites, with a Cisco ASA 5520 at each location.HQ (Headquarters) internal network: 172.16.110.0/24, DR (Disaster Recovery) internal network: 172.16.120.0/24BO (Branch Office) ...
Indeed, I was going to do a simple OSPF network, one area, and simple redistribution from the provider. So no iBGP. Our network guy is very happy lol
A huge thank you to the both of you for taking the time to help me out. I went back to the initial design which was what jmattbullen suggested (using OSPF to do everything). We got the consultants involved because I wanted an alternate solution for ...
Wow. Thanks for taking the time to do this. I'll look into it tonight and see what I can come up with. I have also forwarded my GNS3 setup to the consultants to look into it...One issue I just "fixed" was that the routes coming through the "MPLS simu...
Path selection will be a whole other issue. We will set local preference attributes to address this. Right now, I just want to be able to reach MTL from DBL and vice versa.When redistributing from BGP to OSPF, I would assume the preferred path will b...
Response from our consultants:The plan is to only use BGP in the WAN edge. - We prefer to use BGP in the WAN edge to as to be running the same protocol as the provider to simplify interoperability (especially since the MPLS connected router ...
