[ixpmanager] Confused on Reseller Configuration

[Paul Emmons]

Not sure why they can't see the route server unless you are enforcing 
one mac per port on the reseller port.  Even if that works sflow won't 
work .

Depending on the number of "resold" customers I will either:

1) take a port form the IXP switch and aggregate them on to other vlans 
via another switch and plug the reseller port in to that switch (2 
switch solution)

or 2) just do in on the IXP switch using 2 ports on the switch. One 
mapped to the peering vlan and one to the resellers vlan.

There has never been an "elegant way" to do this
