RE: Q on what IGP routing protocol to use for supplying only gateway address
Hi, In Answer to you question re Windows 2000/2k3 you would just need to install routing and remote access service (RRAS) - part of windows, you can then add OSPF as a routing protocol and tell it which adapter to listen on. I have used this successfully when setting ISA Server up with a default gateway off one nic (pointing towards the net - protected by a decent firewall) and another pointing at the local network, one can then learn the LAN routes using OSPF or RIP etc. and have a default route out the other NIC.

This is more of a cisco-nsp question, but probably OSPF, as it's supported by the routing daemons on most *NIXes out of the box. I don't know about Windows. If this was 5+ years ago, I'd have said RIP as it works great for supplying only gateway address, but I want RIP to go RIP and will not use it again. So yes OSPF seems like best choice, but I was hoping something simple for gateway-only is available. I've no idea yet how to deal with Windows (all win2000 and win2003), anybody? Are you doing anycasting or something? Yes, anycasting will be involved but only for very small number of servers (all linux) - that is kind-of separate issue. The equipment itself however will only see local gateway addresses (obviously), so it should not care or know about it. If simple redundancy in the default gateway is the goal, another (and probably simpler) method is to implement HSRP or GLBP between your routers which are serving the hosts in question. Can't use HSRP in this case (or IVRP or whatever else its called with non-cisco options) - too long to explain why. -- William Leibzon Elan Networks [EMAIL PROTECTED] smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature
RE: european colo/bandwidth facilites?
Hi, I can only comment from a UK perspective but... Personally I would check the Colo facility contracts very carefully before agreeing. LINX have just reviewed contracts within some of the major facilities in London TelecityRedbus (Now Merged in to one company) and Telehouse Europe The Review made very interesting reading, the contract terms of these to companies are very different, particularily with attention to price rises and notice periods required. We have fecilities within Telehouse (Docklands) and I can certainly commend them for good service, we had facilities with Redbus before the merger but as a result of the merge Redbus's prices went vertical. We no longer have facilities with TCRB as a result. It would also appear a few other companies have recently taken this view as well. One thing which I have found to be useful within Telehouse is free (within reason) use of there remote hands for simple problems i.e. reboots etc. Currently there also seems to be good words being said for InterXion, I believe LINX are evaluating InterXion as a LINX node within London. Also within London a very useful company has come to light www.datahop.it they are providing very cheap interconnects between various different facilities and in particular I know they are able to get LINX and LONAP connections to facilities which don't currently house either of those XP's Mark Kaye Eaton Kaye Ltd. -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von matthew zeier Gesendet: Mittwoch, 16.

RE: Zebra/linux device production networking?
Hi, I am also newbie poster so likewise plz be kind. I tend to agree with the comments made so far, however depending upon the business, budgets are not always available that might match the requirements and hence I can to some degree understand the use of such boxes for small organisations. I would be interested to know how many software (for want of a better description) routers are in live production in this kind of environment i.e. the 99.% Uptime variety, from speaking to people albeit randomly in data centres it would seem to be more common than one might expect. Also does anyone have any peering policies which would exclude peers with software routers specifically, most have a requirement for the ability to support stable BGP peering but I have not seen any specific exclusions for such devices?

After looking at the archives, I didn't see this particular discussion, so here we go. First, a little background.. My CTO made my stomach curdle today when he announced that he wanted to do away with all our cisco [routers] and instead use Linux/zebra boxen. We are a small company, so naturally penny pinching is the primary motivation. That, and the sheer joy of watching me squirm. He has informed me that he has found many people who do this for their core devices. I'm not so certain about this whole situation, so I humbly ask: How many of you have actually use(d) Zebra/Linux as a routing device (core and/or regional, I'd be interested in both) in a production (read: 99.999% required, hsrp, bgp, dot1q, other goodies) environment? And, if you care to spend this much time, what pitfalls/benefits did you find out about after implementation? Has there been any discussion (or musings) of moving towards such a solution? I've seen a lot of articles talking about it, but I've not actually seen many network operators chiming in. Here's the article that started it all (this was featured on /., so likely you've read it already). http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/nov2004/tc20041129_5206_t c024.htm and another: http://www.networkworld.com/community/?q=node/5693 Feel free to respond off list. If anyone else is interested, I will of course summarize to list or to individuals. (ps, particulars are deliberately not included.. I'm not looking for advice, just if anyone has any solid experience with this..)
