[c-nsp] Multihoming

[Michael Malitsky]

Jason,

3560 has a small buffer, which may cause performance problems depending on the traffic patterns you see (microbursts are what overwhelms the buffer).  I would suggest looking at 3650 instead - newer and more powerful.  As someone else mentioned, you'll need the IPSERVICES license, which drives up the cost.  Again, depending on the amount and pattern of traffic, a pair of 29XX with a pair of 3650s with LAN BASE licenses may be more functional and more economical.

Sincerely,
Michael Malitsky

Greetings,

Was interested in getting any pointers anyone might have about multihoming.  I've got an ASN and am working on a /24 from ARIN now.  I was thinking about a pair of Cisco 3560's one for each provider and I was going to take default routes from each, one with a higher metric and announce my prefix over the primary link and pad the secondary link.  No customer or full tables needed.

I was thinking about vlan'ing each switch into half public half private side also.  Any pointers or tips or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.  It's been a while since doing this type of stuff.

Thanks!

Jason.
