[c-nsp] vrf-lite routing

[Mattias Gyllenvarg]

Hi Dan

Sounds like your getting of on the wrong foot.

The 3560 can't do much more then routing and switching. No GRE or MPLS so
you are pretty much stuck with trunking.

VRFs will only be helpfull with MPLS unless you want VRF-lite (thats VRF
that is local to one machine only). Then you still need the trunks and
vlans.
You can setup the VRFs to talk fairly easily, but why have the separation
if you want them to talk?

Sound like you should just replace the old machine with the new one.

If you should do anything then setup the 3k boxes for dynamic routing so
that they simply route the traffic instead of switching it. Then you wont
have to add vlans for every new internet customer. But shaping may be
harder to do as you dont have the customers interface in your core.
