Morning all, Update to the below. We’ve been talking to the engineering teams at Cisco and the limitations are soft limitations that are being slowly raised per software release after exhaustive testing.
The current limit of unique QoS policies per box that were running into, which is 64 per NPU, so 128 in total is set to rise to 256 in the next software release, which makes it far more relevant for the density of the box. I’ll keep you all posted as to how we get on. Currently, they seem like a great box at a great price, but they have some design constraints to bear in mind.
