I believe Cisco is back to square one. Went down the 2T path with our
account team only to find that the EVC model is not supported with EoMPLS or
VPLS.  I wouldn't go so far as to say it is a mistake but from a customer's
perspective, the confusion does make my head hurt.

The Sup2T works on the 7600 platform with compatible line cards.
The ES+ is reported to be planned for compatibility with Sup2T.
No word yet if it is a part swap or line card swap.

I don't think it would make a lot of sense, and I don't think we'll ever see 
one.

If they rebrand the Sup2T as RSP2T, they would have close to no supported line 
cards (only 67xx without DFCs) and, specifically, all of the high-functionality 
line cards (ES+) wouldn't be supported. Yes, they could support 68xx and 69xx 
and spin new ES cards (ES++), but that would be fairly expensive. And for what 
purpose?

If you have a 7600 and you need to replace everything but the chassis and PSUs 
to upgrade to higher speeds, does it make sense to do so, when there's already 
the ASR 9000 available? A much better router at presumably approx.
the same production cost as a 7600 full of ES+. In my opinion, no.

Just back catching up to this thread

> Well, thanks for clarifying.  The VSS720-10G-3C is not yet EOX (at least
as far as I have noticed) so maybe there is still hope...

We are in the same boat Gert. We recently purchased a few 3C SUP's as a
hardware refresh and found out that 15.0SY will not be supported (at least
at the moment, probably never based on what I've been told).

I have some 2T's on order and will start testing as soon as they arrive, so
at the moment, we've stopped ordering 3C's as part of the refresh. We
currently have ~400 6500's that are all 3B's  . so we're probably going
to hold off on the refresh untill I can get further clarification from our
SE about the matter.

I think I have this slide from the ones I saved presented at Live this year
that Lukasz is referring to, but I don't think I'm allowed to post them to
a public list being that they are Cisco confidential and part of NDA if i'm
not mistaken.

If someone from Cisco wants to correct me on this, i'd be happy to post it
for others to have if I can find it.

Regards,
Max

I could fill a whole slot on the PLNOG/EURONOG/SWINOG/NANOG just

really confused folks in regards to feature set. Not necessary IMHO.


M/T were "enterprise" feature sets, where anything with 'S' meant
Service Provider. For the CPU-driven platforms and 7600 it is still
the case.


I've never really understood the 7600 either in regards to the hardware
part (I'm a router, I'm a switch ... Pat from SNL anyone :)


It's a router, with switch LCs unless you're equipped with ES/ES+/SIP
linecards. Starting from Sup2T it's router even with traditional LCs,
as VLAN interfaces were coupled with the logical interface ID, and
that effectively provided VLAN independence per-port.


Hopefully we'll be retiring this pair of 7600's soon in exchange for 7k's.

Yes.

15.1S is the same train, save for hardware-dependent features.

IOS train.

Understood Gert.

I think that for simplification purposes, Cisco has somewhat taken the
confusion out of what the 'latest' train would be for any device running
run IOS. Now it's simply 15.x/insert variable for hardware here/. I think
they went real awry with the 7200 having 12.4(M/T) and 12.2(SRx) which
really confused folks in regards to feature set. Not necessary IMHO.

I've never really understood the 7600 either in regards to the hardware
part (I'm a router, I'm a switch ... Pat from SNL anyone :)

However, I can say that we like how the Nexus 7k has played out so far. A
bug here or there aside, I'm glad to see that there are no
ACE/IPS/WLC/VMWare server in my switch/ modules being made for the
platform. (At least at the moment)  Hopefully we'll be retiring this pair
of 7600's soon in exchange for 7k's.

Regards,
Max

You should use 15.1(3)S as it has extended support. We run it on a number
of devices with no issues so far.

Actually we will use 15.1s for the feature support of OSPFv3 between PE & CE 
next month.
If you don't need any new special features, maybe SRE5 is a better choose, you 
know the 15.1s released in the March, should be some unknown bugs.

[c-nsp] 7600 w/ WS-SUP720-3B IOS 15.x

2012-06-27 Thread N. Max Pierson
Hi List,

Anyone out there running 7600 with 15.x code train in production??  We have
a pair of 7609's in one of our data centers acting as a WAN aggregation
block and seem to have hit a bug that's affecting some BGP functionality
and would like to upgrade IOS. We're currently running SRC1 which is a
little dated and would like to see about going to 15.x, but wanted to ping
a few people on the list to see if there were any issues known with making
this big of a jump in code or if there were any horror stories running 15.x
on this platform. 15.1 is what we were looking at, but not opposed to 15.2
if there's no real concerns.

Features list:
BGP (acting as RR's)
EIGRP
WCCP
Netflow
Minimal QoS

Nothing exotic, but this particular bug (which we have not gotten anything
back from TAC yet) is a PITA and I know that the response is probably going
to be an upgrade.

Regards,
Max
