There is no disadvantage (unless you're worried about "immature" hardware, which I don't think is a valid concern here) > > > Now, suppose i also have the following 2 systems: > > 7600/RSP720-3CXL > 6724-SFP (DFC-3CXL) > > 7600/RSP720-3CXL > 6724-SFP (DFC-3BXL) > > If i'm not mistaken, the first one will operate in 3CXL, while the second one > in 3BXL. > So the first one would be better (in what terms? That is my secondary > question). Yes the first one would be better. Primarily it would have 96k mac table rather than 64k. I believe there are some bug-fixes in the PFC/DFC 3C but they're minor (I recall a CoPP related one). The *main* think the -3C does above the -3B is VSS but obviously if you're on RSP720 that's not available. It's possible there are loads of features squirrelled away inside the -3C but evidence is it's a pretty minor HW rev for the VSS support, and I presume Cisco are keen to stop making the -3B purely on cost reasons. > > Generally, why should i choose 3BXL, when with a 3CXL i can have a 3BXL plus > something more? That is my primary question. You should not, is my understanding. _______________________________________________ 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/
