[f-nsp] BigIron RX BGP issue

[Lazuardi Nasution]

Hi,

Since that both Ciscos will learn and advertise the same networks, why
don't you try to make both ports into a VLAN with single VE ? Your
BIgIron will see two gateways to the remote site. For achieving
redundancy, it is better to link each Cisco to different module.

Best regards,
