 I realize the link1 and link2 can be done with one cable from 
 each Vyatta box to the edge switch stack, but we are trying 
 to eliminate each cable as a single point of failure by 
 providing a backup cable from each Vyatta box to the edge. 

If you do run only one cable from each vyatta router, then you still
have cable redundancy as there are two routers in the cluster.
Do you really need the added protection of four cables? What situation
do you forsee where three cables simultaneously fail?

Re: [Vyatta-users] latency tool

2008-01-17 Thread Jonathon Exley
If you aren't all that worried about microsecond accuracy, then NTP can
be made reasonably accurate, somewhere around +/- 10ms if yoou use
multiple clock sources. See http://www.ijs.si/time/ for more info.

A latency measurement tool that might be useful is D-ITG from
http://www.grid.unina.it/software/ITG/index.php

Re: [Vyatta-users] Fwd: A question on exporting connected routes intoOSPF

2008-01-08 Thread Jonathon Exley
I have also had problems exporting connected routes into OSPF.

Try adding static routes into the export policy:
 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]  show configuration policy
policy-statement ExportCon
term 10 {
from {
protocol: connected
}
then {
action: accept
}
}
term 20 {
from {
protocol: static
}
then {
action: accept
}
}
 
This seemed to allow the connected interfaces into the OSPF database,
although they were tagged with ASExt-2:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] show ospf4 database
   OSPF link state database, Area 0.0.0.0
 Type   ID   Adv Rtr   Seq  Age  Opt  Cksum
Len
ASExt-2 *192.168.2.0  192.168.101.10x8001   790  0x2  0x4354
