Hello all, I have a pretty basic routing design question however wanted to get some feedback on which approach I should take.
Two sites connected via two gigabit connections. Both sites have two cat 6503's with Sup2/MSFC2 running in native mode. The requirement is to connect them together in a way that is highly available to the networks at both sites. One site (we will call it site A) has 2 BGP peers one connected to each 6503 via gigabit. The other site (site B) just has some networks under them. Goals: 1. connect the two sites with gigabit. 2. be able to survive a failure if one link or router goes down (convergence time acceptable) Approach 1: 1. Create a vlan on site A pair of 6503's and include the crossconnect gigabit ports going to site B. Use HSRP to fail an IP between router pair to point static routes at. 2. Repeat #1 on site B. Approach 2: 1. put /30 subnets on each link between each 6503 (both at site A and B) and run a routing protocol like eigrp. We have a handful of static routes (less than 40) that range from /25 to /30's connected to each 6503. Any feedback would be appreciated.
