OSPF vs IS-IS vs PrivateAS eBGP

Hi All, I know this has been discussed probably many times on this list, but I was looking for some specifics about what others are doing in the following situations. I would like to run an IGP (currently OSPF) to our customers that are multi-homed in a non-mpls environment. They are multi-homed

Sorry, not OSPFv3. IPv6 thoughts dancing in my head. OSPF-VRF as most of you probably interpret. On Wed, Aug 19, 2009 at 10:12 AM, Clue Store wrote: > Hi All, > > I know this has been discussed probably many times on this list, but I was > looking for some specifics about what others are doing i

Scott, We've had issues in the past with IOS 6500's auto-negotiating uplink ports with an LTM into ISL Trunk mode. This only occurred when we had the port on the LTM configured as a tagged interface. It was easily solved by forcing the port on the 6500 into dot1q encapsulation. I'm not sure thi

Thanks for all the replies so far. Just to clarify, I am in the small ISP/Hosted services business. I was fortunate to inherit the current setup of OSPF to the multi-homed customers. As i stated earlier, I would like to run an IGP, what I really meant was I would like to run a routing protocol that

> Keep the opinions coming guys. there are certainly many opinions on this subject. However, the most important factor is - how flexible you wish to be? As you correctly point out, this is not an issue of what protocol are you going to be running inside your network. So, "IGP" is not an issue. Th

What model BIG-IP? On some models I have had to set the BIG-IP's or the 6500 (can't remember which) to specified speed/duplex and the other side to auto. I believe it was auto on the BIG-IP and fixed on the 6500. Setting both sides the same did not work. On Wed, Aug 19, 2009 at 10:41 AM, Christo
