I have almost nothing but good things to say, now that 90-95% of the cripling Trio-specific bugs have been worked out of the current code. The integrated RE is probably the biggest design limitation. For example, we just got bit by a bad flash drive on one, which caused the kernel to lock up when writing to the disk. This required a physical power cycle to bring the box back every time it happened, left no evidence in the logs (so we had to catch it actually happening on console to know what was going on), and required a complete RMA of the chassis to fix. The lack of redundant REs severely limits the potential of this otherwise excellent little box. Oh and don't forget, a single RE will make your upgrade process take a lot longer too. Juniper would really do well to introduce a 1U small/simple external RE which can be connected over Ethernet, to "redundantize" a box like the MX80, and to be a reasonably sized BGP route reflector. -- Richard A Steenbergen <r...@e-gerbil.net> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras GPG Key ID: 0xF8B12CBC (7535 7F59 8204 ED1F CC1C 53AF 4C41 5ECA F8B1 2CBC) _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
