[c-nsp] clustered switches and access-class

2010-04-29 Thread Chris Flav
Hello, I have noticed that when switches are clustered using the "cluster xxx" mechanism, the cluster members cannot have "access-class xx in" configured without breaking the cluster rcommand functionality. Is there a way to restrict telnet to these cluster members? Thanks, C. Flav

Hello, We are trying to do a simple "traffic-shape rate" command on a variety of router platforms (871,881,1811) and have determined that the traffic-shape does not actually take effect unless "no ip route-cache cef" is applied to the Fe4 interface (or Fe0 or Fe1 on the 1811). Traffic shape c

I don't see where he says he is de-agregating netblocks?? It sounds to me that he is selectively announcing to a specific upstream a specific route, so he is not wasting any precious network resources and there is no need to get excited about filtering ;) I am assuming you are using BGP, which

[c-nsp] NPE-G1 vs NPE-G2; is it a scam?

2010-03-19 Thread Chris Flav
We have had two "upgrades" on a 7204VXR platform where we went from a G1 to a G2 controller. Case A is a pretty straightforward BGP with 2 full feeds, 400Mbps aggregate traffic @72,000pps. Case A upgraded to 12.4XD train from 12.3 mainline Case B is a L2TP LNS, aggregating around 3000 PPPoE

I am having a devil of a time getting spanning-tree packets to work over a functional L2TPv3 tunnel. I can see arp, cdp, SSDP, and all sorts of other garbage traffic over the link, DHCP works, Internet, the works. However, if I connect a catalyst switch on each end and send STP, I do not see

We currently use the 7204VXR platform with NPE-G1 controllers to terminate PPPoE over L2TP. We are able to handle 5k subscribers @ 80,000pps before the CPU is beyond useability. We are looking to move to a G2 controller, however our experience with G2 controllers vs CPU/pps rates compared to t
