Thanks Scott, u da mon !!!
And, while we're on the topic of dlsw...
I was just reviewing some of my notes and cam across an interesting load
balancing issue.
Suppose there's a "conflict" between circuit weight and cost. For example,
/ RTR -B
/
RTR-A
\
\ RTR -C
rtr-A is configured with:
dlsw remote-peer 0 tcp rtr-B circuit weight 10
dlsw remote-peer 0 tcp rtr-C circuit weight 10
So, rtr-A should distribute new circuits equally between rtr-B and rtr-C
based on above.
But, rtr-B is configured with:
dlsw local-peer peer-id rtr-B cost 2
And, rtr-C is configured with:
dlsw local-peer peer id rtr-C cost 4
What happens now?
Based on rtr-B's and rtr-C's config, rtr-A should only connect to rtr-B
because it has the lowest cost.
But, based on rtr-A config, connections should be balanced between the 2
remote peers.
And, if the config's were changed so that rtr-A's remote-peer commands were
config'd with cost, but rtr-B
and rtr-C local peer commands were config's with circuit weight in a
"conflicting" way, what would happen?
In other words, does cost take precedence over circuit weight or does what's
configured on remote peer still take precedence over what's configured on
local peer?
And, 1 last scenario. Is there a "default" cost? For example, suppose
using the same rtr's as above, rtr-A should prefer rtr-B, but no special
config is allowed on rtr-A. If rtr-B has NO cost configured and rtr-C has
cost X, will rtr-A prefer rtr-B or rtr-C?
I don't know if these type of issues are going way beyond what might be
found on the lab, but it seems like Cisco keeps upping the ante in terms of
difficulty, so I figure I better just make sure I know this stuff.
Thanks, Tim
