The only thing that worries me is No. of simultaneous connection :( but now pretty much confident though :) -- samit On Sunday 28 May 2006 14:09, Emre Bastuz wrote: > 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.
