Gino, We already use some MXs. Trying to avoid the cost and power requirements to upgrade all our M7i routers to MX routers. Were you saying I should look at doing a ring on MX or to keep it all routed on MX? If the former, why not just do it on EX switches? The issue with MX for me is primarily the routed 10G port cost.
Harold, Trill is interesting. What switches support it? Might look at it for smaller networks off my core ring. The management question is something that always needs to be considered, but at least with Siklu, it is pretty easy to just run that out of band. We generally do that anyway. Can't really test the alternate path without falling over to it, but can monitor/graph the link performance. Thoughts on all local management vs running a few management VLANs on the ring with a few VRRP/HSRP management routers. The real question for me is G.8032v2 vs ERPS (As Calix refers to it in their docs) on Calix gear. I'm not sure if ERPS on Calix is G.8032v1 or some proprietary version of that. Their docs show G.8032.v2 as being released for multi-vendor compatibility which would indicate to me that their non v2 ERPS config isn't multi-vendor compatible. I think I've settled on trying G.8032v2 on Calix in the lab to shake out any issues. Being able to bring it up with mostly 10G links and a 1G link is an easier sell and the ability to add an MX into the ring could be quite useful down the road.
