Hi Mark, I have not seen any customer issues reported on EVC Xconnect feature supported in 15.1(2)EY. I'll let you know if I hear anything.

We haven't yet installed the licenses separately, so didn't test a more efficient way to bring 10Gbps ports into action. Thanks for that, Waris. > BTW there is no license requirement if you are using 1Gig SFP in 10Gig > SFP+ slots. That's right. Our initial tests were all based on 1Gbps uplinks using the 10Gbps ports. That works fine. We've just had a couple of units that seem to have bad uplink ports that read very low Tx output (-40dBm), to the extent of complete inability to function. Those have been RMA'd. Bad batch? Apart from that, they work, along with OEM optics. > Regarding xconnect requirement in your email, I would recommend EVC > with SVI configured with xconnect. Waris, we prefer the EVC Xconnect feature, to limit configuration redundancy. It brings other problems (initially, anyway), but seems simpler. We're currently testing this as 15.1(2)EY has just come out, and we're forwarding production traffic on 12.2(52)EY2, which doesn't have this feature. Any issues to look out for with EVC Xconnect in the early days of the code? Cheers, Mark. _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
