AFAIK (please correct me if I'm wrong). Only Cisco is doing this, and even they struggle internally with it, because it does add bit of cost, thermal and front-plate density. Cisco's been going on and off and on again with CMP port, often citing lack of customer demand when they remove CMP port, but then it keeps popping back on. To all j-nsp folk, when you go to EBC or meet account team about up-coming platforms, please do tell that you want lights out port, with own CPU and memory. Do not ask for high cost things, do not ask moon from the sky, like do not ask for gigabytes of storage on the OOB control-plane. We can certainly make this happen, only reason why vendors don't do this, is because we're not asking for it. It might be useful to cite common document I think Mikael Abrahamson has worked on such document, but it may need some TLC. -- ++ytti _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
