Re: [AFMUG] Temperature and SFPs

yes there is a difference there are i and c temp optics. The way I always keep them straight in my head is c is for colo meaning indoor rated. Carlos Alcantar Race Communications / Race Team Member 1325 Howard Ave. #604, Burlingame, CA. 94010 Phone: +1 415 376 3314 / car...@race.com

I'm sure most providers can provide this service for a fee. Typically you would have one provider into each of the routers and do ibgp between them while doing ebgp with your upstreams. I'd also recommend doing some sort of hsrp / vrrp to protect your customer gateway ips. Carlo
