the problem with the 72xx series is the limited backplane. Cisco uses a "bandwidth points" method for determining numbers and kinds of cards. There is a "left half" and a "right half" and it is strongly recommended that you do not exceed the bandwidth points for each side.
you may want to try out the Cisco configuration tool, found at: http://www.cisco.com/appcontent/apollo/configureHomeGuest.html try out the cards and see what the validation tells you. so far as I know, the router remains operational if you exceed bandwidth points. However, if you have performance problems, Cisco will not support you. It may be that a 7300 might be more appropriate for your high capacity needs. -- TANSTAAFL "there ain't no such thing as a free lunch" ""R.S.Sundar"" wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Hello All, > > I would like to know the possibility of expanding the Cisco 7204 VXR > (NPE-225) > - 6 Slot and cisco 7206 VXR Routers with NPE-400 (6 Slots). > > Base configuration: > ---------------------------- > > 1.
