Recommended 1Gb SFP for ~115km?

Hello, Any pointers on real world experience on this topic would greatly be appreciated. What are people using successfully out there as far as third party SFP's go to hit a distance of approximately 115km? This would be for a Catalyst 6506. Cisco's solution was a much more costly EDFA

I assume the ASA's don't run natively on VMware or Xen, I assume you have to use something like GNS3. I think that would be fine for testing, but in real world production running an ASA on GNS3 under an another OS seems like a bad idea. I hope Cisco will come out with Virtual Appliances for

it works, i see folks creating networks of hosts under ESXi protected by an ASA instance.. not for production.I'm sure its not legal but Cisco doesn't seem to have a strong stand on it, I'd think as long as you are using it for educational use and not commercial, they may not care a

GNS is just a front end for dynamips/qemu. ASA will run under qemu without the use of extra wrappers/tools. it will run natively under vmware too. ASA is basically an application running above a linux kernel. I forget what the internal name is, lisa or similar… -g On Aug 4, 2010, at

Thanks for the input, Justin. I'm familiar with Transition Networks and have used their solutions in other scenarios (as well as MRV). I'm aware of the fiber characteristics being a major factor of the link budget and dispersion, etc. I am waiting on measurements from the company who is finishing

Hi, the setup with two media-converters works but has a major drawback. If you want to see the overall line (digital diagnostic) you always have to take into consideration that there are actually 3 physical links involved in the overall link. Looking from your routers you only see the SX link
