Does anyone use the 6500/7600 platform with Sup720 (Sup3BXL/Sup3B)?
I have a few 6500+720 boxes in service, one a 720-3B, the other base 720s
(purchased pre-3b).
Any experience with this platform as a peering router?
A little. I'm not stressing it, doing just a few partial feeds. So far it
works.
Any known limitations? MPLS? PPS rates? QoS? uRPF?
I don't do MPLS & I'm not pushing it hard yet.
My complaints are:
o there are no 12.2S images for it, so no service-provider-flavor stuff
(e.g., timed session restart after exceeding the max prefix)
o SNMP counters for .1q sub-ints don't work (except possibly for MPLS);
you have to make the physical interface a "switchport" & use a "vlan"
interface to get SNMP stats
I pointed out to my Cisco SE that I lost some functionality "upgrading" from
a 7513 to a 6500+720, but got little sympathy & no satisfactory resolution.
Also, does anyone use this platform with any 10Gig interfaces?
Not yet. I'm still waiting for the XENPAKs I ordered over 2 months ago.
