I don't think I'd trust any vendor's "ISSU" to be completely without impact...been more of a marketing term from my experience... > On Feb 18, 2016, at 10:51 AM, Nick Hilliard wrote: > > Jason Bothe wrote: >> The 9k does however get a huge win with the ability to apply a

Re: Cisco ASR9010 vs Juniper MX960

Yeah, you might look into that. We're about to put 3 x MX960s in service and with GRES and NSR we are not dropping traffic when taking the master RE down. On Feb 18, 2016 8:05 AM, "Jason Bothe" wrote: > We have run into issues with GRES, and I think its an issue with the RE we >

Re: Cisco ASR9010 vs Juniper MX960

We have run into issues with GRES, and I think its an issue with the RE we have. I don’t actually perform the tasks so it may or may not be as big of an issue as I initially stated. Jason Bothe, Manager of Networking Rice University o +1 713 348 5500

Re: Cisco ASR9010 vs Juniper MX960

With GRES, can't you simply set the master RE as backup, apply firmware, then switch back to master and upgrade the backup RE? On Feb 18, 2016 7:57 AM, "Jason Bothe" wrote: > We have both and they’re both great boxes, however it’s sort of > embarrassing that the ASR9k still can’t

Re: Cisco ASR9010 vs Juniper MX960

We have both and they’re both great boxes, however it’s sort of embarrassing that the ASR9k still can’t do virtualized routing, ie. logical-systems. Not sure if thats a deal breaker for you but just thought you’d like to beware. We also find OS configurations on the Juniper much easier than

Cisco ASR9010 vs Juniper MX960

I would like opinions of the differences between these two platforms if possible. I was going to buy a used Juniper MX960 Router MX960-PREMIUM2-AC-ECM with 2 x RE-S-1800X4-16G and 3 x SCBE-MX-S. Then I was going to load this up with a couple of older DPCE-R-4XGE-XFP 4x10GE DPC Enhanced cards.
