We're thinking about introducing dedicated Route Reflectors in our small-ish MPLS VPN network. We currently have ~35 PE devices, all 6500/Sup720. There are no dedicated P devices.
A couple of the PEs are RRs currently, but given the slow RP on a Sup720 we'd like dedicated RRs instead; and there are many other good reasons for that of course. We're talking ~10k MP-BGP routes now (plus about ~100 IGP routes (IS-IS)) with per-PE RDs. The ISR 2901 seems fit for the job. Any comments on that? Are there other devices better suited, assuming we intend to buy something brand new? According to FN the ISR 2901 IP Base image doesn't support MPLS, but otherwise supports all we need, i.e. IS-IS and MP-BGP. MPLS forwarding isn't a problem since the RR isn't supposed to forward traffic. Any good reasons to choose something other than IP Base? Thanks. -- Peter _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
