This is somewhat hard to do. From my experience with various equipment, you'll have much better luck doing rate limits <10M on a 10M port. Ie - set the port to autonegotiate only 10M settings (so you can get 10M full duplex without hardcoding both sides). -josh From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Dec 23 16:23:14 2004 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Gunther Stammwitz) Date: Thu Dec 23 16:24:00 2004 Subject: [f-nsp] Question regarding my wishlist Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hello Colleagues, I'm going to buy a foundr bigiron 4000 that is going to be used as a router for up to 200 megabits of traffic (about 25k pps) using bgp4. I need two gigabit-uplink-ports. My current wishlist can be found below. I'd appreciate your feedback.. Are there any drawbacks regarding my choice of modules? B4000 with dual-AC J-FxGMR4 with 256 MB of Ram and 4 mini-gbics Fi3L3UR-PROM upgrade. Does anyone know if I can get future software upgrades without a support contract? The chassi is brand new. So I should be able to get a support contract, right.. If so? who's the best reseller? Thanks, Gunther
