ASR9000 and SVI

[armin.kask]

Hi,

I was wondering if i can create SVI on ASR9000 ?

We have a metro deployment with L2 rings using REP and ME3400.

We are also considering of buying 2 ASR9000 routers.

For example we want to have a daisy chain of ME3400 interconnected via L2 trunk ports and have this daisy chain connected from one end to one of the ASR9000 and from the second end to the other. The ASRs would be interconnected with 10G dark fiber.

Since the chain is L2 we probably need to run REP over the ASRs to create a ring. Now the question is can ASR have SVI in those vlans ?

for an internet gateway and a full inet routing table I would definitely be at the l3 scale profile.

you probably want to know that you need to reload the linecards  for that in order to take effect as the sizing between l2 and l3 is  determined/carved at boot time.
