Hello Samit, Zitat von Samit Jana <janasamit@wlink.com.np>: > Now before I put the boxes on Production to serve over 400 simultaneous > connections and over 40 VLAN interfaces, I would like to hear some comments > If anybody running similar kind of setup? and is there any performance > issues known so far? I am using a similar setup for parallel testing of ADSL modems: -> FreeBSD 4.X box with a PCI quad-interface -> two ethernet interfaces connected as trunks to a 48 port switch -> one port used for "regular" connectivity and administration -> every port except the trunk and admin ports configured in different vlans -> every VLAN with it´s own PPPOE connection -> every PPPOE login script with it´s own static hostroute to a particular IP address on a download server, uniquely set up for this PPPOE connection (hostroutes required to force traffic through every PPPOE connection) -> MRTG for monitoring the throughput on each interface in the switch Works great for 2 years now. The only thing I´d monitor is the throughput on the trunks. Apart from that the configuration should scale reasonably well. I´m not quite sure if this was what you wanted to know but hey: you asked for VLAN and PPPOE ;-) Cheers, Emre -- http://www.emre.de UIN: 561260 PGP Key ID: 0xAFAC77FD I don't see why some people even HAVE cars. -- Calvin
