Note - you can't use twingig converters in the base 10G ports of a 4900M - you have to buy the 8-port X2 half-card if you want to use the twingig converters. (you say 10/100/1000 card so I am guessing you intended to use a copper gig half-card in the first slot.) I have a handful of 4900Ms, they work fine pushing fair amounts of traffic at multi-gig rate (they're in place handling the first-level uplinks from my TOR 4948-10Gs). I don't do anything terribly fancy with 'em, but they seem as solid as the rest of the 4900s. DOM works nicely with 12.2(54)SG, finally. _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
