I never tried it for this particular combination, but the PFCs for 6500 and 7600 are *exactly* the same - it's a piece of hardware containing ASICs and TCAMs, connected with standarized bus and power to the baseboard of the Sup/RSP, available in B/C or BXL/CXL versions. And yes, the WS-F6K-PFC3CXL is supported with RSP720, you may check it on official document: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/7600/Hardware/12.2SR_supported_hw/7600_hwd.html#wp1030645 Mind it however, the XL versions often contain more RP RAM, as it is expected that for enlarged hardware FIB capability, you will also have bigger RIBs in RAM.

Re: [c-nsp] RSP720-3C-10GE with daughter card = RSP720-3CXL-10GE?
Hello, As I understood, the question was about posibility of upgrading 3C to 3CXL by adding 3CXL DFC to it. It was possible to do such upgrade with 3BXL (by adding WS-F6K-PFC3BXL=). I had done it. Is it possible to do the same with 3CXL systems? There is no WS-F6K-PFC-3CXL in GPL. There is only WS-F6700-DFC3CXL which might be different. Also is it possible to upgrade 7600-ES20-10G3C to 7600-ES20-10G3CXL by replacing daughter card on it? On Wed, 23 Jun 2010, Matt Nichols wrote: No that is not correct.

Are they the same? -- Dmitry Valdov CCIE #15379 (RS and SP) ___ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
[c-nsp] RSP720-3C-10GE with daughter card = RSP720-3CXL-10GE?
We're in the process of purchasing some RSP720-3CXL-10GEs for a 7604 and one vendor has told us that they have some RSP720-3C-10GE cards plus PFC3CXL daughter cards which they claim that when combined equates to a regular RSP720-3CXL-10GE. Is this true? I mean from a technical stand point it may be true and maybe the only thing I won't have is the 3CXL letters on the outside of the blade. I tried using the dynamic config tool on Cisco's page to build one and I see no option for adding a daughter card to the regular RSP720-3C-10GE to make it the 3CXL version. Our main concern is that we want to ensure that we can hold the entire global routing table and beyond and so far only the 3CXL version fits that bill. We also want to make sure we get the default memory that comes with the 3CXL version and make sure we don't get cheated on lower amount of memory.

No that is not correct. The system, at boot time, will fall back to the lowest common denominator - in this case PFC3C mode. To run in PFC3CXL mode all PFCs on the supervisors have to be 3CXLs, and all DFCS have to be DFC3CXL.
