[cisco-bba] 7204VXR vs ASR1001-x (as LNS / provider is LAC)

[Bruce Technical]

Hi James,

They give us a /29 and will round robin to our LNS servers they say which
will be connected to a managed or unmanaged switch.

Please see their multiple LNS server setup here: https://snag.gy/w71nN3.jpg

So they insist they don't hit our Radius server and our LNS cisco will talk
to our Radius and Radius will answer LNS server and we go back out to them.

They say they will round robin to our LNS directly.

Cheers,

Sounds like they are doing something a bit weird J

If you are planning for multiple LNS's, how will they support that if
they are going to connect directly to just one LNS in your network?

You need to get them to clarify the whole design end to end. When we
take interconnects with wholesalers we land them on a PE. Multiple
interconnects from the same wholesaler will land on different PEs for
resilience and we will advertise the IPs of our LNS's and RADIUS
servers over BGP to them.

Then they have the choice, their RADIUS and LAC’s can speak our RADIUS
and LNS devices in any order they like.

If you just have one or a handful of realms, *@realm1.net you can
always tell your wholesaler “my LNS IPs are 1.1.1.1, .2, .3 and .4,
please RR over them all”, then their RADIUS won’t need to speak to
yours.

Cheers,
James.
