Better off not using the Media Converters, for that you need to convert from Optical to Electrical then back to Optical and its expensive if you ever want to goto WDM. Take a look at the following PDF. http://www.finisar.com/sites/default/files/pdf/Introduction_to_Optical_Amplifiers.pdf you shou

Yes sir, I learn the def rt from my upstream provider on a pe-ce bgp connection into same vrf l3vpn that I use everywhere, and I believe it automatically is redistributed into the l3vpn as I see it show up everywhere on other pe’s. How can I get bgp to assign a label to it so traceroutes work ?

In my network traceroute works fine for on-net (known) subnets. I can see the mpls lsr P hops. But when I traceroute to internet destinations off-net (unknown) subnets and my packets follow default routing, I do not see my mpls lsr P hops. What is the deal with traceroute being broken when

You should be able to do 120km with a ZR XFP @ 10G without anything. If you later want to add equipment to the sites, you can look at doubling your optics and something like this: http://www.perle.com/products/10-Gigabit-Standalone-Media-Converters.shtml - Jared > On Sep 4, 2014, at 5:36 AM,
