Has anyone on this list deplyed an ADSL network using Westell's FlexCAP2 product? I have some network engineers telling me that they need to use an entire /29 of 8 IP addresses for each single subscriber connection. This doesn't seem right to me and I'd love to talk with someone who has actually deployed this stuff.. The ADSL component basically provides an Ethernet bridge between the subscriber and the CO. The network engineers that I am dealing with tell me that these bridged Ethernet connections have to go into a Catalyst 5500 switch in which each Ethernet port is on a separate VLAN in order to prevent neighbors from sniFfing each other's traffic. And because of the VLANs in the 5500 with 2 RSMs, they need to allocate a block of 8 globally routable IP addresses in order to supply a subscriber with one globvally routable host connection. I'm still poring through manuals to see if there isn't some better way to do this that isn't so wasteful but I'm not as familiar with Cisco gear as some other brands. -- Michael Dillon - Internet & ISP Consulting http://www.memra.com - E-mail: [email protected]
