+1 here, running a single VDX6720 in L3 mode with OSPF for internal routing, static routes for internet connectivity, and VRRP-e pre-configured in case I want to add a second VDX to the fabric at a later point. It has been stable on NOS3.0.1a for a few months now.

You are best off running L3 on a VDX8770 or VDX6740; the former has been GA for a while now, but the latter is still under development. These two models were designed with L3 functionality in mind while the VDX6720 was originally designed for L2 with its routing functionality to be added a few years later. If you were looking at a VDX6720 now, I'd recommend waiting a few months for the VDX6740 release and buy that instead.

Best regards,

    What were the problems you had with MLX/RX? I've generally had
    good luck with MLX and MLXe and Layer3.
