This is really a scale question. I think you'll find that, if you just dump everything into area 0 for now, it will not be very difficult to change that later on should you need to scale up. Note that the EX4550 has a rather small FIB/TCAM even compared to the EX4200. For tens of racks, this should be no problem. It is not what I would consider a good datacenter aggregation platform, though, due to its limited FIB. If you scale up you may find that you need to move layer-3 aggregation to a different kind of box. -- Jeff S Wheeler <[email protected]> Sr Network Operator / Innovative Network Concepts _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
