Yes. 6708 is not a supported / working option on SRB 7600s, and I have been told will never be. If that upsets you for density reasons, wait until you see the *next* 10G 6500 linecard that you can't have... > > I'm looking at a PPT of the differences between the ES20, SIP-600, and > 67xx linecards.

If not, your -3C supervisors (RSP720 I assume) will be limited to -3B mode. _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
