Ok, since CPU asked. I didn't want to put this on list, because it isn't a Leaf question per se, however I'm struggling with what to do with this.
In the simplest terms possible, I have a 4 subnet network, with each subnet at a different physical location. Location 1 has the internet connection, and the "core server" (read:Citrix) for all the other locations. Internet connectivity is via a proxy server on the location 1 subnet. I would like to eliminate the proxy, and replace it with Leaf with no proxy. The problem is, is that this would give anyone in Location 1 two routes off their network. The connections to the remote subnets are via T1 and they all connect to location 1 via a Cisco router which has no free connections. Must have goals: eliminate proxy server, provide one route off of the Location 1 subnet. Would like goals: Avoid having Leaf as failure point between subnet 1 and the remote subnets. Avoid purchasing a new Cisco router. Unfortunately, it seems that my best option would be to put another adapter in the Leaf router, and renumber subnet 1, so that everything converges at leaf on the old subnet 1 address. However, since I'm using old commodity hardware for that task, and internet connectivity is less important to the business than the connectivity between the locations, I would love to keep this from becoming a point of failure. Any ideas on what to do here? Or have I exhausted my options and I need to violate one of my "would like" goals? I don't know Cisco, but I suspect if I did I could make short work of this problem. - Bob Coffman ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
