Re: [c-nsp] pppoe server
On the lower-price end, the 3845 has 1200 as maximum recommended number of l2tp tunnels or sessions; (cisco application note l2tp support for the cisco 800, 1800, 2800, 3800 integrated service routers ) or a 7206VXR with NPEg1 or the 1HE NPEg2 called 7201 will terminate 8000 sessions (mircom report and datasheet at cisco.com) But they have 2/3/4 GE Interfaces, resp., not 10GE, and second source Memeory to max the NPE-G1 out is now rare.

Re: [c-nsp] L3 Switch as a BGP Gateway
Yes, without full feeds, and allowing the provider to filter their routes, and you route statically to your provider. For Metro optical Ethernet, it is a deployable solution. Current BGP routes, roughly 350,000+, in addition to internal routes and what have you... that said, a BGP speaker used only for a network with a single point of entry to the Internet may have a much smaller routing table size--thus the modest requirements needed for RAM and CPU--than a multi-homed network. Even simple multi-homing can have modest routing table size. ~Jay Murphy Sr. IP Network Specialist NM State Government IT Services Division PSB – IP Network Management Center Santa Fé, New México 87505 We move the information that moves your world. “Engineering is about finding the sweet spot between what's solvable and what isn't. “Good engineering demands that we understand what we’re doing and why, keep an open mind, and learn from experience.” Radia Perlman If human beings are perceived as potentials rather than problems, as possessing strengths instead of weaknesses, as unlimited rather than dull and unresponsive, then they thrive and grow to their capabilities.

I understand that L3 switches are less feature rich on the routing end, but suppose that our ASAs are doing most of the complicated filtering.I know it doesn't sound right to have a 3750G used in this manner, but I am having a hard time finding any real reason why not to do it.

Re: [c-nsp] VSS - Horror stories, show-stoppers, other personal experience?
My understanding of an LTL is a path map for traffic through the switch. In the VSS environment, every multicast stream consumes 3 multicast LTL resources for each VLAN on the switch and another 3 LTL's for each IGMP snooping entry. We had 300+ multicast channels coming in from encoders, then being joined by encryption servers and ICC/error correcting servers. The encryption servers were sending an encrypted multicast stream back into the VSS. We also had another set of servers joining the encrypted streams and generating a PIP stream. In a stand alone 6509 there are ~30K multicast LTL's available. In the VSS this number drops to ~20 for the two combined 6509's. Our 300+ channels with all of the extra stream for PIP, encryption and ICC etc.. Were using over 19,800 multicast LTL's. There is an LTL threshold of 200 free LTL's. Once you have less than 200 free multicast LTL's available, the switch will disable IGMP snooping and begin to flood multicast out of all ports. This obviously crashes the switch processor. Some commands to see LTL usage: show platform hardware capacity multicast remote command switch show mmls mltl I hope this information helps.

[c-nsp] High CPU issues on 6513 with LACP
Greetings-- I recently installed a stack of HP (H3C) switches in a closet and connected them with an LACP link to a 6513 running 12.2(17d)SXB11a. (Yes, that is circa 2006, don't ask. At least the beast wasn't running in hybrid mode!) The 6513 physical LAG ports were configured with mode active. When using static LAG on the HP switches the 6513's CPU utilization climbed so high that packets were dropping and a sh run int po2 would not complete. When I moved to using dynamic LAG on the HP switches, the uplink worked just fine. Anyone heard of such an issue specific to static LAG, or perhaps an issues with a sub-optimal version of IOS. cjw ___ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
