This didnt go yesterday for some reason.... :( ---------------------- Forwarded by Peter McCracken/DMR/CA on 10/07/2001 09:41 --------------------------- Peter McCracken 09/07/2001 18:05 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: WAN Channelised Connectivity Hi Folks, I am trying to get my head round the following scenario and I need some advice about the way this normally approached. Picture one central site and forty odd branch sites. The central site is equipped with a Cisco 7206 router which I assume has the appropiate channelised adapter installed. The remote sites are equipped with 2 Cisco 2611 routers which are connected back to the main site via channelised e1 connections to faciliate high availability. Sites have bandwidth of 128/256 K. The queries I have are : (a) I assume that each router at the remote sites will have a channelised e1 connection... if we allocate 256K to that site... how are the routers configured.... do I have two e1 connections going to the respective routers with a bandwidth of 128K on each..... or do i have two e1 connections going to the respective routers with 256K allocated to the one connection to be transferred to the second connection if the first fails. Also if i have a 128K connection to each router as i suggested first.... if one of these routers fails... can the second router pickup to 256K or are am I stuck with the 128K only..... As you can see I am a bit confused about how this works..... But... I think we go something like this.... I think that each of the routers has a channelised E1 connection. If we allocate 256K to that particular site, we would allocate each connection 128K of bandwidth and load balance.... In the event of one of the routers failing we would have to work with 128K until the router was brough back online..... To summarize... can some kind soul explain to me how this works (using small words and visual aids) =), have i got the gist in the paragraph above, and can you point me to any good refs on the web for this stuff.. I havent been able to find the rite material on cisco's site..... yet...... Your help and assistance is very much appreciated.... Kind Regards, Peter.
