Hell,
I'm reposting this so forgive me.

H2----SW2----6500-02----7200-02----ISP1-Router2
H- Host
SW- L2 Access switch
The above is for an ISP PoP Design. The 6500's have single
Sup720/PFC3/MFSC3 and Gigabit Line Cards.
Inititially, the 6500's are configured with a single pure L3 interface
onto a legacy switched network. There is a backup L2 link to the 2nd
6500 with HSRP between these 2 L3 interfaces. Basically the 6500's are
just routing at the moment.
>From the aggregation 6500's to edge 7200's, there are L3 /30's and OSPF.
I hope to implement L2 trunking between the 6500's and trunk to access
switches with HSRP etc...I also hope to seperate DSL/Dial traffic from
switched L2 network and then fragment remaining user groups/application
groups further.
Regarding reconfiguring links to DSL/Dialup boxes, it seems there are a
number of options:
1. VLAN them across the 6500's by connecting their 10/100/1000 ports to
access
ports on the LC's. Connect backup interfaces to a different VLAN and
repeat.
I think this means having to implement L2 between 6500's now and
trunking to access switches. (??)
2. Create 2 x L3 /30's to each 6500 from each NAS/aggregation router and
let OSPF/static
routing take care of resiliency.
If this option were to be taken, what would happen if there were a
single management subnet covering switches, routers etc. Would I be able
to get to majority of management /32's over the SVI covering 'legacy'
LAN and remainder over L3 links to dial/DSL boxes?
Apologies again for re-post but I'm having difficulty finding
views/advice on ISP-specific questions from Enterprise/Data Centre SRND
design docs etc. on CCO.
Thanks,
Mark
