I'm running into an issue where our transport gear can't have their LAGs
hash on IP for egress (from Transport #2 to Brocade MLXe #2), so I need a
way generate more IPs (and MAC addresses) so I can use ECMP on Brocade MLXe
#1 to send traffic to both IPs (and therefore both MACs), and then traffic
should be load-balanced across those unique MACs.
Here's the existing network design:
Internet
|
Brocade MLXe #1
|
10G
tagged
VLAN 500
|
UNI port
Transport #1
NNI
/ \

Brocade MLXe #2

What about VRRP on the Brocade MLXe #2, and then have a route on the Brocade
MLXe #1 to both the Master IP and Local IP that reside on Brocade MLXe #2?
There wouldn't be a Backup for the VRRP, but that doesn't matter, just need
unique MAC addresses for each Master and Local IP. That would at least use
two of the four GigE's.

Frank
