Hi guys,
I was just wondering if anyone had any experience or insight into bringing a
very large DC environment (13 different large rooms over 2 locations, with
17 different VTP domains each 2000+ ports) up to date and ready for the 21st
century?
Currently we have a "standard" 3 layer structure. Distribution/Access is
clustered, overlaying VTP domain, STP, OSPF area, HSRP. I basically want to
get rid off VTP and STP, and have the ability to provide pure layer 2 VLAN
and layer 3 (IP subnets) transparently across the network (so independent of
which VTP/OSPF or physical location).
Are there possibilities to do this using Layer2 VPNs (instead of VLANs) and
running MPLS to connect it all together?
I know this is totally off topic, but I hope my question is clear.
Thanks in advance
Marc
