I have come across a couple of docs now that suggest that the 67xx are not tied to this limit....but then they dont specify what the new limit is and there must be one.. ;-) - nothing so clear for the 65xx line cards. however, i came across more resources which suggest limiting and their best practice docs also state you should limit what goes down the trunks. suffice to say - rather than leaving the network 'exposed' to such random limits and risks I feel its best to go along with more control over the core<->aggregation layer. (limiting right out to the distribution layer seems to be a much larger resource step both for deployment and day to day ops) alan _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
