While I agree with the general sentiment that the IP change and switch change will likely be smooth, the IP change can be done more transparently and has literally nothing to do with the L2 gear. To that end, I don't see any reason to not configure/assign the new IP block now and let folks start using it right away, even before the switch switch.
But, we don't have a central router? If your border to the exchange right now got a prefix with the next hop of 206.108.255.3, how'd you get there? You'd have no route to host for 206.108.255.3. That is why I brought up the secondary IPs. Once everybody puts in a secondary IP in 206.108.255.0/24, they'll know how to try to get to 206.108.255.3 for my prefix announcement. But I can't really do the prefix announcement with the next-hop in 206.108.255.3 until everybody knows how to get to 206.108.255.0/24? -- Doug McIntyre <merlyn@iphouse.net> -- ipHouse/Goldengate/Bitstream/ProNS -- Network Engineer/Provisioning/Jack of all Trades ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-DISCUSS list, click the following link: http://lists.iphouse.net/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=MICE-DISCUSS&A=1
