I thought the platform was ideal for this, so what's the problem with
76/65 IOS versions?
Basic IPv4 functionality (i.e. BGP, OSPF, netflow, acl) is rock solid
on this platform. There are some horrible IOS bugs but the only ones
that have caused us issues is when we've tried something more
"adventurous". Haven't used 65xx in an MPLS environment or with v6, or
NSF, or SSO etc etc and I'm sure there's issues down those lines. But,
for basic routing/switching, it's a great platform.
Alright, we'll be using them for v6 too, and I believe we should go
forward with it, even if Cisco's software advisor doesn't know about
SUP720 images, and even if there's no 12.3 or at least T train
available...there's 12.2S, this should hopefully do (we don't need
MPLS at the moment)
You can have quite good information via the feature navigator, what is
available for certain releases. You get similar features on sup720 with
12.2.(16)SXD{1,2,3} what you get on Cisco 7200 with 12.2(18)S (provider
line of images).
