I have just received a couple of Catalyst 6509s that are destined for a small exchange point. They've got SUP2-2GE /w PFC2, eight port 6408 GBIC blades, and flexwan blades that will be taking POS & ATM WAN interfaces. They'll be running BGP+OSPF and not much else.
I see one has 8.6.4 CatOS and the other IOS 12.1.27b.E4. Which is going to be best/most stable? I've never had 6500s under my care but I do recall that there was an issue with netflow accounting not working - something to the effect that the intelligent linecards had their own forwarding information and all that netflow reported was the setup and teardown for TCP connections. Is this still the case, or is there a mix of software and practices that makes netflow functional? If not, how are people handling bandwidth monitoring for these systems? Thanks in advance for your wise answers ... -- mailto:n...@layer3arts.com // GoogleTalk: nrauhau...@gmail.com GV: 202-642-1717 _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
