Hi all,
I have do discuss the placement for the BSR in a LAN This deployment is a three layer hirarchical design...this means 2 Core Routers (6509), 7 Distribution (6506) and at least 50 3550/3560
Right now the RPs are configured on the core routers
What ist the best pracitice where to place the BSR ! I would like to place this on the core routers ...!
Any coments...or help ?
thx
dennis
put it in the middle, on the 2 core switches.
although it doesnt really matter for a campus as long as it is on boxes with plenty of memory - but co-locate with the RP is sensible.
if you want some background then try
"developing IP multicast routers" Cisco Press. Main drawback is it doesnt worry about non Cisco boxes.....
