[c-nsp] Best practice - Core vs Access Router

[Andy B.]

By the way,

I am using Cacti to pull out data from all my routers.

Here is what cacti is reporting when the router is behaving like now:

02/10/2010 07:39:12 PM - SPINE: Poller[0] Host[4] DS[594] WARNING:
SNMP timeout detected [500 ms], ignoring host 'x.x.4.131'

The cacti server is in a dedicated 'NOC vlan' right next to the core,
not on any of these OSPF/BGP interfaces.
