I use full-blown servers, but they're not at towers as I don't need full tables at towers.
Sounds like you have a good plan laid out. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tim Densmore" <[email protected]> To: "Ubiquiti Users Group" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, May 3, 2018 11:03:44 AM Subject: Re: [Ubnt_users] Edgerouter Infinity BGP On 05/02/2018 11:59 PM, J Portman wrote: > And, a pretty "loaded" CHR platform can be built for less money than a > CCR1072, so that's a bonus. 6 Gig ethernet and 6 10G Fiber ports for about > $2k. Ideally I'd want something like maxxwave makes, but with 10G. Some of the places we'd be putting these we need them to be 1 or 2 RU, rack mountable, and/or DC. Do you have a vendor you recommend? I have basically zero clue in the whitebox switch/router/appliance world. I'm guessing folks aren't sticking full blown rack-mountable Dell or HPE servers at their towers. > As for the ER Infinity, I have a brand new one, in the box I will never > deploy.

I have only used it a few times, and when I have, I haven't enjoyed using it. I'm very comfortable with cisco, and somewhat comfortable with vyos/edgeos. Obviously my comfort level isn't the main concern if CHR is the right tool for the job, but it is a consideration. If I have to learn ROS from scratch, I need to factor that in. The ER infinity looks pretty much perfect for what we need, but while we've used edgerouters at our customer edge, we've never used them in the core of our network. Maybe the solution is to deploy one at the customer edge and have it take some iBGP feeds that it doesn't need and see how it does with them. If it sucks, it'll still be fine for the customer edge. > YMMV, > JP _______________________________________________ Ubnt_users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/ubnt_users
