Hi All, Going back to this thread we are going to arrange to demo some C6880-x's for edge devices. I think the ASR9k maybe a better paltform for us but I've not used the C6880-x's hense the demo. We use the ME3600s/ME3800s extensively at the access layer so I'm after beefed up versions of those with all the same features;
-10G core links with 1G uplinks from access -SFP capabale so we can mix and match layer 1 as required (Copper/SM/MM) -Full MPLS and VPLS support -Full EVCs support so we can xconnect from anywhere to anywhere and support QinQ, single tags, no tags, tag swapping etc just lik the ME3x00s -Dual power supplies -Full HQoS support on EVCs like the ME3x00s (since this is 6500 on drugs does it only support layer 2 QoS?) -Dual sups is not a requirement just a nice to have (looks like this isn't possible) -Full DFZ table is not a requirement but would be a nice to have (looks like this is possible since its Sup2T) Since this thread started have more people had a chance to play with these boxes? What are you all using them for, how do you find them (stability, features, what lines cards do you like/don't like) ? Look at cisco.com it looks like systems not carrying a full table would be ok with C6880-X-LE using C6880-X-LE-16P10G cards, for edge routers with transit we can use C6880-Xs with C6880-X-16P10G cards. Input welcomed. Cheers, James. _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
