rmdso, i put a new card in a 2600. all goes well. i reboot, and a PREVIOUSLY EXISTING AND PROPERLY OPERATING interface loses its ip address and decides to come up in dhcp mode.
GAH! what a stupid fucking failure mode.
i've never seen that before. it took me a while to notice what was going on. it kept looking like some sort of fucked up routing thing on the far end of the WAN link.
it's fixed now. stupid cisco router.

Date: 2002-07-19 02:25 pm (UTC)They're designed for ISPs, but their smallest one will do 5 Gbps, I believe. And you get the option of internally redundant Processing Engines, which do the HA dance (with keepalives) and will failover in one second (if you set the timers for it). You manually sync 'em when you update one. This also allows you do upgrades without rebooting the router - load the new OS version into the backup PE and then synch 'em and BAMF! it's an upgrade.

I just really love how they separate the Processing Engine from the Forwarding Engine and have modularized stuff on the BSD kernel so you can (virtually) slot in updates/changes
