Hi, our network is like coomplex core network with multiple routers working with all the protocols and then directly access layer with CRS125 and then customers switch by switch on wireless.
To avoid any kind of broadcast storm, is there an option in CRS125 which I should keep it on, so whenever it happens, it gets stopped at the edgeswitch and doesnt go beyond that to the core network ?
You can start thinking about moving from bridged to routed network architecture.
You mean, have each Pop site with a router ?
but we dont have enough Ip to dedicate each POP with specific IP blocks.
Can we do without assigning dedicated IP blocks ?
Thanks!
Lets say, I have 2 ports being used in CRS< one for PPPoE and one for DHCP and then it goes to access layer switches.
So only place those 2 codes for both of those ether ?
i suggest you to test in LAB (not production network) this configurations because some times can be tricky to troubleshot
Thats fine, I can try with a lab router.
but how would I try myself generating broadcast ?
in my case i have tested doing a loop on the switch, that is a patch-cord connecting for example port 1 and 4 of the same switch then do a ping to an unknown ip of the subnet to generate a broadcast and voila you have your storm
Oops oops!
I fear now
