chassis 7604?
3bxl or 3cxl?
sup720 or rsp720?
Latest, same money, newer hardware, so 7604 RSP720-3CXL.
linecard: what are the SPA? distributed forwarding? we don't need it a priori.
there is a 6 gbic port (2+4) with PXF, what is this beast? probably something
to avoid.
You need OC3 ports? Yeah, you're going to be paying a lot for SIP-400+SPA,
it'll do 4 gigabit/s actual traffic.
I've heard once upon a time a 8 port GigE linecard was available and not
anymore.
will the 8 port fixed GigE (not 10/100 but only 1000) of the cat6500 line work
in a c7600?
Yes.
We don't need 20 ports and that's a bit expensive.
All port must do layer3, of course.
Full BGP table, many times (3 full peer plus 100 local peerings w few prefixes).
Full BGP table costs money, if you're on a budget, get a used Cisco 12000,
it'll take you into the gigabits/s realm quite cheaply, then when you're
past that, go for 7600.
7600 makes a lot of sense if you're ethernet only, the SONET/SDH
interfaces are quite pricey due to the need for SIP/SPAs.
