queries regarding route domain and partitions,

Hello Friends,

 

I have below questions regarding the route domain and partitions concepts.

 

1) Can we use the same RD in a multipal partitions. 2) We have created the single partition with two RD's in between some these some application needs to communicate with other RD but some doesn't need any communication, if suppose we have enabled the communication between two RD's then will it affect the applications which doesn't require any communication with other RD's application 3) Can we use the same VLAN in multipal Partitions. 4) Can we use the same VLAN in multipal RD's

 

Thanks in advance for your kind support.

 

Regards. Ashish.

    Hey Ashish,

     

    1) No, an RD can only exist in one AP

     

    2) Not sure I understand the question but perhaps strict isolation might help here?

     

    3) No, a VLAN can only exist in one AP

     

    4) No, a VLAN can only exist in one RD

    i think partition is more on how configuration is seen...

    e.g.

    [root@ve11a:Active:In Sync] config  tmsh -c "cd /p_one;list net self;cd /p_two;list net self"
net self 1.2.3.4%1/24 {
    address 1.2.3.4%1/24
    partition p_one
    traffic-group /Common/traffic-group-local-only
    vlan /Common/v_one
}
net self 5.6.7.8%1/24 {
    address 5.6.7.8%1/24
    partition p_two
    traffic-group /Common/traffic-group-local-only
    vlan /Common/v_one
}

    i feel administrative partition and route domain are different things. partition is like view of configuration but route domain is to have multiple routing table.

    Ultimately, if the configuration on each device needs to be different then you clearly can't synchronise it. It seems obvious to me, am I wrong?
