I am using Extreme Networks switches with an EAPS(broadcast ethernet) ring. I want to implement 2 VIP's on the ring, both on the same network segment. However this is causing problems. The RFC is unclear on this 'should' be supported functionality.
Has anyone implemented this on other platforms (or hopefully on an Extreme platform)
done it on Nortel BayRS routers, passport 1000s, passport 8600s. Seen it done on Foundry boxes of various types.
this is the reason that a block of different multicast addresses are reserved for the protocol - 1 address per logical VIP.
