<div class="PlainText" style="font-size: 11pt;">Since i only got one AS number (for the peering/RS) maybe we made a mistake ...</div>
<div class="PlainText" style="font-size: 11pt;">Can i use the same As also for Route collector - wince the services of the IXP are not in this ip/AS space ?</div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt;">This trunk to the VM based on Debian (which run on VmWare) will be working fine since the port itself is as Eth-Trunk and MRTG is monitoring it that way...</span></div>
<div class="PlainText" style="font-size: 11pt;">Also, after we resolve (4) with a separate port for FCSE, the only traffic there will be for RS/RC/AS112 and the 2x1G trunk is more for redundancy purposes...</div>
