[c-nsp] HSRP/VRRP scalabilty

[jack daniels]

Dear Experts,

If we want to configure gateway for 1000 Vlans on Cisco 7600 (HSRP
will be a issue as it supports only 256 HSRP groups) . Any soltion for
the same -

I have though of two solutions but don't know whether they will scale
or workout , please help me in suggesting -

Solution 1 -  ( I heard there is something called " Follow up") can
you guide me any solution document for this.


Solution 2    Another solution for the same I think is if - There are
incoming 4 vlans (Vlan1 , Vlan 2 , Vlan 3, Vlan 4 -IP address subnet
same on all four vlans ) and if I Translate on Layer 2 medium these
four  vlans to Vlan 5 and configure IP address ( Gateway IP address on
which HSRP will run ) on this VLAN 5 .Is this thing possible on Layer
2 medium - if I use VLAN translation or use fundamentals of imposing S
tag. Please suggest how this will work.

Thanks and Regards
