        <div>I'm not sure of the size of your network here, but lets ask
          anyway....<br>
        </div>
        <div><br>
          Is a dedicated management network out of the question?<br>
        </div>
        This would separate the data-plane from the control plane, and
        prevent any issues in the devices in-band effecting your control
        of the devices.<br>

                  <div>Hi Noggers,<br>
                    <br>
                  </div>
                  I've been doing a little research around management
                  VRF's, mainly for splitting my company's network
                  management traffic into it's own VRF, to shield it
                  from any potential routing issues. <br>
                </div>
                <div>I know some of our kit, such as the Cisco ASR 1001
                  and cat4948's have dedicated management ethernet
                  interfaces locked in a management VRF.<br>
                </div>
                <div><br>
                </div>
                <div>At this stage I see two common options:<br>
                </div>
                <div>Management traffic in a VRF with RFC1918
                  addressing, and<br>
                </div>
                <div>Management traffic in the global routing table,
                  with customer traffic, with BGP etc in a VRF (i.e,
                  turn it all "inside out")<br>
                </div>
                <div><br>
                </div>
                I'm curious to see others thoughts on this, and what
                implementations you've all put in place out there?<br>
                <br>
              </div>
              Thanks,<br>
              <br>
              Ben<br>
