Hello,Enclosed is rather straightforward diagram of square network design.R-1 - R-2 |..........|R-3 - R-4Note: Please ignore the dots, since blanks/spaces are being removed.Addressing scheme:R1/R2: .0/30R1/R3: .4/30R2/R4: .8/30R3/R4: .12/30OSPF is ru...
Hello,Besides loop avoidance, does STP (or newer instances like RSTP or MST) provide redundancy in case some of the links/ports fails like routing protocols do?Thanks,Marko
Hello,I'm looking for the best solution for the following scenario:CORE router is running OSPF along with R1 and R2.R1 is border router and has working BGP session (full routes) and is directly connected to CORE router.R2 is secondary border router, ...
Hello,I'm looking for the solution that will advertise aggregate and more-specific prefixes.Example:R1 (AS100) advertises 172.16.0.0/23 -> ISP1 AS200 (primary link)R2 (AS100) advertises 172.16.0.0/23 -> ISP2 AS300 (secondary link)Now I'd like to adve...
Thank you all for replies, much appreciated. Since L3 is recommended in the core, would you recommend MPLS as layer 2.5 with OSPF as the best choice?Regards,Marko
Jon,Thanks for the reply. At the moment, I'm looking at the best implementation for switching core and one of the options is STP, while another is some of the link-state routing protocols (all switches are L3 capable).Can tou advise on pros/cons for ...
Sundar,Thanks for the reply. Regarding your first question: there will be load balancing in place for utilization of both connections/links. Redundancy and failover if one fails is also a must.Another thing that might be a issue is how CORE router wi...
Please advise on the subnetting issue, seems to be more important than configuration I've mentioned.As soon as split this /20 into longer prefixes (e.g. 2x/21) the complete supernet gets lost. Since I haven't done this in the past, is there some pro...
