  • High availability gateways between multiple routers.  A few options to choose from are typically HSRP (Hot Standby Routing Protocol) more common to our Cisco friends, or the more widely used standards based VRRP (Virtual Route Redundancy Protocol), of course there’s GLBP too but i’ll leave that one for a rainy…

  • This is a pretty basic WCCP-GRE configuration that i used to get my vWAAS lab up and running. The WCCP GRE redirect method establishes a dynamic tunnel, without any real tunnel configuration for it to work and handled entirely by the WCCP process. Router config: ip wccp version 2 ip wccp source-interface…

VXLAN uses stateless tunnels between VTEPs to transmit traffic of the overlay Layer 2 network through the Layer 3 transport network. The below is an example of a VXLAN packet forwarding taken from the Cisco VXLAN configuration guide…

  • I’m looking forward to setting up a Nexus 9k Solution, L3 using VXLAN BGP EVPN Topology Dual DataCentre configuration. Aiming for a Live/Live Core between the two. Only caveat is we will stick to L2 supporting the Edge, for Internet and IPWAN connections using traditional technologies such as HSRP. VXLAN BGP EVPN…..Configuration guide

  • Recent events with our local Data Centre hosting company’s capability (T3 my arse) has prompted me to gather some information and understand the connectivity between the HP Virtual Connect (BladeCenter) and our Cisco 6500 Chassis setup.

  • Some information on how to configure multiprotocol extended Border Gateway Protocol (MP-EBGP). Extended BGP allows for the transport of routing information for multiple network layer protocols IPv6, VPNv4, and others. MP-BGP allows you to have a unicast routing topology different from a multicast routing topology, which helps to control the network and…
