[f-nsp] First Hello, and Questions

[Clint Chapman]

hey,

new to the list thanks to the guys at townsend, but I wanted get some
quick advice if anyone has a few.

                              Interwebs –>

                                 | | |

  NetIron  XMR 4000 (Dual Management, 3 Switch Fabrics, Multiple Line
                               Cards) –>

                                   ||

                         2 x FastIron SuperX –>

                                   ||

                     Rack Level Cisco 2950, 2960's


Right now I feel safe with just 1 XMR 4000 on the edge, and multiple
up-links to different NSP via BGP.

But what I am looking for is, a good way to have redundancy from the
SuperX's

Lets say rack1 have a 2960 and has an uplink to each SuperX what would
be the best way for, if distro1 goes out, to switch over to distro2.


With that being said, let me give a little more details about the
network.

We currently CIDR out blocks we give to customers that rent dedicated
servers from us. So we give a client a /29, drop the gateway on distro
one in a vlan and put the switch port at the rack level in access mode.


Lets start there, please let me know if there are any questions.



Thanks!
Clint
