Indeed. And refurbished 6748GE-TX (with 40GE fabric connection) can be had for about 300 EUR these days. gert -- "If was one thing all people took for granted, was conviction that if you feed honest figures into a computer, honest figures come out.

The 6148's are so bad - I think they share 1g of bandwidth per 8 ports. I saw a client dropping TB's a day with these linecards. -Original Message- From: cisco-nsp On Behalf Of Tom Hill Sent: Friday, September 28, 2018 10:08 AM To: cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net Subject: Re: [c-nsp] Idiot checking LC compatibility across different 7600 chassis.

Most likely, yes. Though the 6148s are 'classic bus' cards, which do not use the chassis fabric. They're hideous and slow down the whole router, due to taking up bandwidth on the classic bus that is also used for lookup signalling between CFCs and the supervisor (no use of classic bus cards, and the use of DFCs, is required to overcome those limitations). If you're intending to add more, please add 6548s as a minimum. Better yet, please put all of your 7600 gear into the sea and use more power-efficient devices. :) Regards, -- Tom ___ 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/ ___ 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] Idiot checking LC compatibility across different 7600 chassis.
Hey there, I haven’t dealt with the 7600 platform for a number of years, so I need a quick idiot check on what I think I remember. IIRC, the 7600 chassis (non-S) is the same thing as a 6500 chassis (non-E), so anything that works in one should work in the other. To that end, I’ve got a bunch of WS-X6148A-GE-45AF cards and a pair of SUP720-3BXLs in a 7606 chassis (PID: CISCO7606) and it works fine despite the WS-X6148A-GE-45AF data sheet making no reference to 7600 support, only 6500 support. I need to forklift the 7606 for a 7613 (which is already equipped with a FAN2 and a pair of PWR-6000-DC PSUs). Should all just work, ya?
