Have two of them here, one in use, the other in standby. > I want know if this cisco are same performence that the > Cisco 7204 with a NPE 400 ? Probably not; 7401ASR is a 1 rack unit single PA NSE-1. A little less performance than NPE-300. Has PXF; at least as of 12.4(21a), it's enabled and running: pari-7400-2#sh pxf int Intf I/f # Attributes Gi0/0 5 Raw, Encap, Unsupp Feat.

Not designed for core stuff; having said that, I haven't tried any MPLS stuff on it. In my case, I'm doing edge NAT, BGP, OSPF, POS APS, CBAC, and Stateful NAT. Typical edge stuff; using the 7401 since it can handle OC-3 POS and do APS (which is how our OC3 is configured) paired currently with a 7507 running the same IOS (but which has different features; one of those things about IOS is how different the feature set can be platform to platform, and how you can somewhat see what the pedigree of a particular bit of hardware is by looking at the various feature footprints.... see feature diffs between Cat5k RSM versus RSFC, or Cat6k MSM versus MSFC; the RSM and MSM betray their pedigree by certain features lacking....). The two 7401's were paired for the OC3 POS APS, but the second one developed issues when loaded very heavily and is now a backup only. > It's the same IOS that Cisco 7204 ? No; almost the same as NSE-1, but specific to the chassis. -- 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/
