What's the reasoning for adding additional circuits? Are you running into bandwidth issues, or at least think you might in the near future?
If you add circuits, are you going to add connections to either AT&T or UUNET or are you going to add additional providers? If you have that much memory and a 3640, you could take full routes from those two providers with no problem at all. But if you start adding circuits, I'd agree with Dave's suggestion which I think was to accept customer-routes only and then use static defaults to handle the rest. The first question that must be answered is "Why?" These other people want to add additional circuits just because you can? That's kinda spooky. You could add a DS3 if you wanted, why not just do that? ;-) John >>> "brian kastor" 3/12/02 10:09:29 AM >>> We have 1 router, 2 connections. One goes to uunet, the other to at&t. Equal bandwidth. UUNET is where we are getting a /23, we are getting nothing from at&t but connectivity and they have aggreed to advertise the /23. The router is a 3640 with 256mb. I have tried to explain that this router should only be used for this task, but others are wondering if we should bring in another couple of ds1's... hey we have the space on the router. This got me to thinking we could take some of the load of by only getting customer routes or even just defaults. John's first post made me rethink the defaults, so I was just wondering about what happens when somethinng comes through for an as that isn't attached to the providers if we go with just customer routes. I think I am going to take MADMAN's suggestion and just weigh everything that doesn't get routed to uunet's side. I hope this helps clear it up... don't think I did a very good job of explaining why I was asking Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=37974&t=37948 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
