It matters deeply which 99xx, and what supervisor(s) you have in it. 9904 uses the same RSPs as 9006/9010. 9906 and 9910 use a different RSP, with expandable 'S' capacity. 9912 and 9922 use an RP, with the 'S' function entirely removed. A recent BRKARC-2003 (from Cisco Live!) will have more details. In this instance I suspect the 9904 is witnessing a push from Cisco to move their customers towards 3rd generation supervisors and above; that's RSP-880[-RL] and newer in the 9904's case. This will be because those generations support the 64-bit variant of IOS-XR. Whether you wish to run 64-bit IOS-XR is another matter. Whether or not your line cards (e.g. 2nd gen "Typhoon" cards) that work just fine with the RSP-880[-RL] on 32-bit code, will boot with the 64-bit XR code, is another matter again -- I was fairly sure they could not fit it in RAM. Mr. Ytti successfully predicted that they'd "probably" only make 32-bit up to around version 6.5, so that sounds like it's right on the money. I applaud Cisco for moving away from QNX, but I haven't heard anything positive about the 64-bit XR variant as yet. YMMV. -- 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/
