If you are brave enough you could run HP's software images on your
Foundry Equipment. These are BigIron images so I don't know if they have
the same functionality as a FastIron (as your modules are all FastIron
modules)

It sounds like you just want Bronze support which I don't think is too
expensive.  You get Warranty software upgrade access for one year I
believe.  (Using your serial number as login and password):

You probably want:

1 x BI4000 Chassis
1 x RPS3  90-220VAC Power Supply for BigIron 4000 & BigIron 8000
1 x J-BxGMR4  8-port mini-GBIC based Gigabit management module
4 x E1MG-SX  1000Base-SX mini-GBIC optic, MMF, LC connector

Subject: [f-nsp] Question regarding my wishlist

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
