One way we do it is by L2 hop (VLAN) the customer to a more centrally placed switchrouter and aggregate there. The customer is connected via fiber, using ethernet 10/100/1000 depending on the customer. The customer may only have a FX/TX-converter at their facility, or they may have a switch (of which will probably not have an IP address in the vlan the customer resides in). Also, I would like to address some IGP issues where routes are not propagated properly, our equipment is still reachable but the routes to the customer is not. Basically what I want to do is test it all the way. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: [email protected]
