Hi there...
I have encolsed the network scenario as a JPG file...
For clarity the peer statements are to the loopback interfaces: r.r.r.r
What I want to do is to influence the way that R5 sends Bridged traffic to
the lan interconnecting R4/R2...
In my prep lab question it says that I should influence the path that R5
takes to the Ethernet connecting R4 and R2.
R5 should prefer the path over R2 instead of the path over R4.
I am allowed to have the peers connected at all times (that means no
backup-peer statement).
Anyway...what I did in order to solve this was to add the cost 1 to R2's
local peer statement and cost 2 to R4's local peer statement...But..is this
the right approach - I see a lot of documentation on CCO regarding DLSW, but
nothing that really pin-points the DLSW path decisssion.
This cost course shows nice and neatly when I show dlsw peer capabilities on
R5, but how can i verify which way the traffic takes from R5?
Also it states that if R2 get's unavailable and I switch to R4 that I should
wait 7 minutes after the connection gets idle before switching back to R2!
the way to do that is that by using the following command on R5:
dlsw remote-peer 0 tcp 4.4.4.4 timeout 420
Any ideas on how to verify this is greatly appreciated...also any links to
documentation about the more advanced DLSW configs would be greatly
appreciated...
I have enclosed the configs below...
Cheers...
Nic
