Site Link Bridging query

[Sean Bond]

I have three sites A,B and C. (This is an example by the way)

Site A is a branch, Site B is a hub site and Site C is a backup hub site.

A Site Link (AB) connects A-B with a cost of 20 and a repl freq of 15
minutes\repl interval 12x7
A Site Link (BC) connects B-C with a cost of 20 and a repl freq of 30
minutes\repl interval 24x7

If I create a Site Link Bridge AB-BC it will have a cost of 40.

If all of the DC's in Site B fail and the ISTG\KCC decides to create a
connection object using the bridge (between Sites A-C) what will the repl
frequency and interval be for DC-DC replication?

Thanks,

Sean

Hi Sean,

The replication interval will be the higher of the two links that must be
crossed - 30 in your example. The replication schedule will be determined by
when both links are available. In your example, this means the replication
schedule will be set to 12x7.

I hope that clears it up!

Mike
