> This is *old* hardware. Indeed. We have a 7507 running a 12.4 IOS in production, and have both a GEIP and a GEIP+ in the box. The GEIP is indeed a PA-GE in a VIP2-50 (in fact, that is how I got a GEIP, by putting a VIP2-50 and a PA-GE together. The PA- GE was out of a 7204 that was 'deceased' and I had some VIP2-50's lying around; I put the PA-GE from the 7200 into the VIP2-50 (didn't work with a VIP4-80) and it came up as a GEIP.). The dual-width PA for the GEIP+ is an interesting beast; the archives of this list have lots of information on it. The GEIP is used as a backup interface in my setup, with the GEIP+ handling the primary interfaces (several VLANs, and NAT going on), and I'm getting five minute averages over 100Mb/s with it. The GEIP isn't being stressed, so don't have any data there. The other interface in the box is a POS OC3, so I'm limited to 150Mb/s regardless. I will say this: the 7401 that is paired with the 7507 is somewhat faster; the 7507 is running RSP8's. I don't, unfortunately, have any metrics on just how much faster the 7401 is, sorry. -- Lamar Owen Chief Information Officer Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute 1 PARI Drive Rosman, NC 28772 http://www.pari.edu _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
