Yes - I have a few 6807/sup2t's But wanted to know if it is worth waiting for the Sup6T - given that as stated, there are no cards utilizing even the 220G I do have the new 10 gig line cards - and as there is no software to support the 4 x 10 -> 40 - I have already had to breakout 40 gig access switches (brocade/force10/nexus) back to the 10's.
Given that the nexus 9k / 3k are doing 10/40/100g at 1U - the 6807 is rather disappointing so far - I think I'll give up soon and go spine + leaf + nsx. The extra features over nexus in the trusty 6800k swiss army knife - are mostly available in the ESX hosts as distributed network services now. -----Original Message----- From: cisco-nsp [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tom Hill Sent: Wednesday, July 13, 2016 5:21 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [c-nsp] 40G options for 6807 On 13/07/16 20:24, Peter Kranz wrote: > For instance, the C6800-32P10G is labelled as an 8 Port 40GE/32 Port > 10GE module, but there is no software release yet that supports the > 40G operational mode, nor have I seen the required CVR-4SFP-QSFP > adaptor available. I would expect Nick meant 40G options to take advantage of the new 440G/slot SUP6T & PFC4-E hardware (or even, the full 220G/slot of SUP2T in the 6807). At the moment, none of the known cards can exceed 160G to the fabric, and most don't exceed 80G.
