Interesting setup - love all the details

I am imagining a situation where you are a away from home, and a family member calls the ISP as the network is down, and the ISP helpdesk asks them to restart the router, 'which box is that' the family member asks?

Yeah I have a similar problem My "router" is a virtual machine, so not exactly simple to do the ol' "have you tried turning it off and on again?"

Course it is, there's that big switch in the utility cupboard - unless there are UPS involved (which I'd be surprised if there isn't).

Of course there’s a UPS

Natch.

Have some more stuff on the way. Made a slight error with the diagram before that I've fixed.

I'm doing the layer 2/3 diagram at the moment.

I was going to write up some stuff about the routing but need to work out how to keep it simple. The secondary router has 177 routes, the primary 180

Now, that is interesting - how so many? You mentioned elsewhere you were VPN'd to a data centre - are you learning routes via that?

[XGS_Is_On]

I won't cover the rest of the network globally but there are another 100+ nodes on it.

[XGS_Is_On]

Learning them all, filtering a few. I'm actually advertising some networks back, too.
