LAN/WAN design issues: redundant network core design and equipment

Dear all,

I have a growing network that has inherited the reliability and scalability issues:

(Example from my existing network)

We pop connected with us through lines of CF, that LSPS are connected to our CF traverse on persistent organic pollutants.

Now, it is necessary to make the core of switching (switch with "?" mark) redundant

because this is the point of concentration of all connections outside.

I got an appointment in order to study new equipment (now it's just Catalyst 3560) for this network block.

Unfortunately, the budget is pretty low.

I have the following considerations:

I think that the main problem is that most of the connections is L2 trunk links and it is difficult to prevent this.

It seems that I need to duplicate all the links to LSP FC, pop and branches (this seems doable) and rely on STP! (this seems bad)

with all of these links.

Currently, I have two options for the basic block:

1. two Catalyst 3750 have duplicated links. (CSW1 LSP1, CSW2-LSP1) and rely on STP

2. a switch Catalyst 4500 series with two redundant supervisors (probably, they allow to buy if there are strong arguments) have reproduced links and rely on STP.

These two options do not look good because I have to rely on STP with LSP.

I would use redundancy features and L3 protocols, but do not know how to avoid trunks

I have no experience with the material of fantasy as a Catalyst 4500/6500 series.

Could someone please advice me alternatives for options of design and of the hardware and confirmation or withdrawal of my options.

Also, I would be grateful if someone could help me find strong arguments for the acquisition of Catalyst 4500 series light up the core.

Thank you much in advance.

Best regards

Max

Hi Max,.

in the diagram and description that you provided the switch, you need to replace is a dashboard device that works only for the moment, in L2

If you plan to go L3 communications in this device, you should review your design to the whole of the network and also review/discuss with MS how that can be converted into L3 communications

If you want to keep the same as L2 and introduce it into the device or devices for redundancy, I'd rather have two redundant devices of a redundant chassis that I mean pair of 3750 is more reliable chassis 4500 with equipment redundant as soup, UPE however its a reliable option as well and again for sure

If you rely on STP for redundancy, what is the problem here? It is time of convergence or what is your concern?

hope this helps

  • Issue of network redundancy

    Hi guys,.

    Just a quick question/precision.

    On the ESX hosts in our environment, all hosts have 8 physical network interface cards.

    The way in which we have our network configuration is that the IP subnet that the Service Console runs on (10.9.8.X) is also our internal network IP subnet.

    The way I have my setup of the guests is with two physical network adapters on this network goes into the same virtual switch.  For the Service Console, the network adapters are configured as active / standby.  For the internal network, they are configured as active/active.

    What is the correct/preferred way to set this up not only for the Service Console redundancy, but also to have NIC teaming to achieve a greater bandwidth on our network inside?  Or should I try to use some of the other empty NIC ports to finish to remove the Service Console of this IP subnet?

    James

    It is good to have 8 ports.

    A good way to implement an ESX Server is as follows.

    3 ports for network of VM and the Service Console, put them on the same vSwitch and configure the vlan trunking.

    2 port for vMotion (preferabbly on a separate vlan or a network)

    3 ports for IP storage, iSCSI/NFS

    I would use teaming on each vSwitch (static LACP)

    I do not know what type of storage going you...  The above is a good and redundant installation.

  • LAN/WAN ports not supposed to be Gigabit? Capped at 250Mbps, NOT because of the ISP LAN devices.

    Hi all

    Have a bit of a problem here. I have Internet Fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) with Bell Canada and have their Fibe Gigabit service which is 940/120 speeds up and down, respectively. I was able to bypass his combo modem/router using a switch connected to the optical network terminal (HAVE) where the fiber cable enters the House (which serves mainly my base modem) and using custom settings of VLAN and DNS in ports specific for my fiber IPTV service Bell and receivers work together through my router.

    So, I have a few routers that I tried this with to try to solve my problem. My Asus RT-AC5300 and others have no problem with having me my subscribed speed - certainly through devices connected to gigabit LAN and also via WiFi on compatible devices. But I'm not concerned about WiFi - it is specifically wired ethernet devices that are the cause. I use CAT5e and CAT6 cables only because he is a Gigabit connection. The issue I have with my Time Capsule (3 to, latest model AC) is that, literally, speeds for gigabit wired devices will not exceed 250Mbps downstream. Download speeds can hit 125Mbps without problem. Why is this? Is there something my Time Capsule prevents leave the LAN ports operating at gigabit full transfer speed? It is not only a device - I have multiple gigabit devices I tested, on all three of the TC ports, and none of them exceed 250Mbps. Yet when I connect them to another router gigabit, such as the Asus I've described but also others, they have no problem hitting 900 + Mbps downstream on the exact same network configuration and Setup at home.

    Thanks for any ideas, comments or suggestions. Y at - it a setting I have accidentally enabled that is the cause? I had much rather use the TC of the most convenient airport for my network I was planning on getting multiple Airport extreme to position around the House to cover literally home WiFi and LAN bridges through the simple installation of these devices, but I do if I can't use my fiber subscribed speed.

    OR maybe I have a defective unit. Thanks again for the help!

    See you soon

    The issue I have with my Time Capsule (3 to, latest model AC) is that, literally, speeds for gigabit wired devices will not exceed 250Mbps downstream. Download speeds can hit 125Mbps without problem. Why is this?

    Apple AirPort routers have been designed to work with the cable standard and DSL connections.  The fiber is the new ball game, and Apple knows yet how to play the game, let alone to understand the rules.

    Most of the problems associated with connections to high speed on airports is a result of the decision of Apple to eliminate any kind of manual settings to manually adjust the speed of the WAN port on the router... and are based rather on an "Auto" setting.  Automatic adjustment seems to work pretty well on the fiber up to approximately 100 Mbps connections, but the WAN port is struggling to negotiate with high-speed connections when it is connected directly to the fiber. LAN ports can also be affected.

    Some users have reported that insert a Gigabit switch between the connection of the fiber and the Time Capsule or AirPort Extreme has helped with speeds. The theory here is that the switch can negotiate with the fiber connection much better than the WAN port on the Apple device.  If you have a handy Gigabit Ethernet switch, that it could not hurt to try this "Workaround".  Other users report no benefit when they try it.

    Yet when I connect them to another router gigabit, such as the Asus I've described but also others, they have no problem hitting 900 + Mbps downstream on the exact same network configuration and Setup at home.

    The time Capsule is not directly connected to the fiber connection, so it OK to talk and negotiate with what he sees as a 'normal' a conventional router connection.

    Don't forget also that the 802.11ac products were designed before 2013. Current products have not changed since their introduction in June 2013.

    The bottom line... Apple needs to decide whether it wants to be an actor, or leave the routing other players company established. Such what, Apple is far behind the curve... my opinion.

    While it might not hurt to take the time Capsule to an Apple Store to check over the machine, you might want to ensure that they have in fact a fiber connection high speed to test.

  • How to use a VM vyatta to manage my LAN/WAN connections?

    I have a simple problem that is hard to explain, so please bear with me. I am using a router Vyatta VM to manage my local network. I have connectivity thoughout my local network but I cannot go outside my local network of the virtual machine. I have a linux box running ubuntu 8.04, vmware server 2.0.2 + vyatta VC6. eth1 on the box gets a public IP address from my ISP (we tell 1.1.1.2 for demonstration).

    eth1 has an eth1.2 to interface VLAN with private IP 192.168.1.2/24.

    I have some maps more who are bridge interface br0 with IP 192.168.2.2/24.

    Ubuntu eth1 (1.1.1.2) <-WAN

    Eth1.2 Ubuntu (192.168.1.2/24) <-LAN 1

    Br0 (192.168.2.2/24) Ubunru <-LAN 2

    Vyatta eth0 (192.168.1.1/24) is filled to eth1.2 <-LAN 1

    Vyatta eth1 (192.168.2.1/24) is bridged to br0 <-LAN 2

    Routes on the GNU / linux and vyatta appear to be configured correctly, but I can't do a ping of the Vyatta VM to the internet (say google http://74.125.45.105) or my gateway address ISP 1.1.1.1 that, however, I can ping from the Vyatta VM to the linux box eth1 1.1.1.2, which is a "public" IP address I thought I'd add a static route to 0.0.0.0/0 next hop 1.1.1.2 would do it but still no cookies. Someone knows what's the problem?

    Graphic text

    192.168.1.1-> 192.168.1.2- >-> X WWW 1.1.1.2

    Vyatta VM Ubuntu Ubuntu

    eth0 eth1.2 eth1

    Since Ubuntu (gateway) can access the internet and vyatta can ping ubuntu, supposedly yor vyatta traffic should also masquerade by ubuntu to the internet.

    Could you try Internet (ICS) Login Script scipt below:

    Download ftp://ftp.no-x.org/vmware/ICS2

    Download on Ubuntu

    Change and replace INET_DEV with Ubuntu device which the connection to the internet (for example, eth1)

    Thank you.

    If you prefer please email me directly: [email protected]

    Hello

    First of all, I must say here it s only forum user. You'll be a really lucky guy if someone from Toshiba will be the response to your ad or the means will contact you directly but hope dies last. ;)

    Are you from Europe?
    In any case, I think the best thing is if contact you Toshiba local basis in your country. But the question is if you can contact the guy because normally your interlocutor is a rather authorized Toshiba service provider.

    Of course, you can try it and look for an email address. Maybe you'll find something on Toshiba page in your language. :)

  • Space required on target RT for LabVIEW Control design and Simulation

    Hello

    I want to run a DLL file on an RT target using LabVIEW Control design and Simulation, but I'm not sure of the required amount of RAM on the RT-target. My RT-target options are respectively cRIO 9002 and cRIO-9004 with 32 and 64 MB of RAM. Is this a sufficient amount of RAM to run the simulation? ¨¨

    Thanks in advance

    This will depend on the size of your dll, the size of the rest of the code, you can create other necessary drivers/modules, memory use when your application runs, etc.

    9002 and 9004 have not a lot of RAM on them and the minimum software installation to run a control application Design & Simulation (CD & Sim) will take around 22Mo of it (the majority of RAM available to the 9002). It would be possible to run your application on these two controllers if you keep it small but it will depend on what you want to do.

  • How to make my waveform in the simulation design and control work continuously?

    Hi all, I m a begineer to Labview and have a few question.

    I use the Labview to design and implement a controller for FOPTD system, but I found that the waveform in the 'loop control and simulation"does not work continuously. I mean keep repeating in the same graph from 0 to 10 seconds. Is there an approach to make it run continuously?

    Thank you very much.

    Whenever a loop Control Design and Simulation is executed, it connects a full simulation, the initial time for the last time. When you drop a new loop CD & Sim down, the default values are zero second initial time and 10 seconds for the last time. I guess what you probably want is for simulation do not stop at 10 seconds. Double-click the left node attached to the CD & Sim loop and extend the end time. You can change the end of 'Inf' time if you want it to run until the VI is stopped.
