I have personally no experience with the ME3800X, so I can't give any detailed comments. > I had come to the view that the ME3600X and ME3800X were practically > identical apart from some QoS buffer differences, licensing and slight > variation in TCAM space...but seems there may be more differences than just > those. That's more or less my impression as well. The "slight variation in TCAM space" is though an oversimplification IMHO. The 3800X do contain significant more HW than the 3600X. To get a better overview of the scalability, look at the Release Notes (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/metro/me3600x_3800x/software/release/12.2_52_ey/release/notes/ol23402.html) The info regarding no H-VPLS on 3600X come from our Cisco Rep. Now when looking at "Configuring MPLS..." (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/metro/me3600x_3800x/software/release/12.2_52_ey/configuration/guide/swmpls.html#wp1244272) it's clearly states: Support for H-VPLS The Metro 3800X and Metro 3600X switches support hierarchical VPLS (H-VPLS). Note that there is a multitude of roles within a H-VPLS network, and the 3600X might not fit all of those (my guess). -- Pelle RFC1925, truth 11: Every old idea will be proposed again with a different name and a different presentation, regardless of whether it works. _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
