[swinog] Recommanded IOS Package for 7206VXR + NPE400 to do IPv6/BGP + AS Number 4-byte

[Patrick Studer]

Hi
 
We want to go a step further with our infrastructure and start 
testing/implementing IPv6.
 
Has anybody here a 7206VXR + NPE400 running and doing IPv6 / Full BGP / 4-byte 
ASN? If yes, which
IOS Version and Package do you have installed. How much memory / flash do you 
have installed?
 
We currently have “only” two upstreams and some SwissIX peering. 
 
Any help would be appreciated.
 
Kind Regards
 
Patrick Studer

Hey Patrick. :-)

I was running some 7206 in my past job, although these had an NPE-G1 or NPE-G2, 
with 1GB of RAM.

You need Advanced IP Services or Advanced Enterprise services for v6 routing, 
and Multiprotocol (i.e. v4 and v6) BGP.
You need 12.4(24)T, or 12.2(33)SRE1 (or later, including all 15.0) for 4 byte 
ASNs.

So you should get away with, assuming your NPE has the storage and RAM :  
c7200-advipservicesk9-mz.12.2-33.SRE1 to SRE4, or 
c7200-advipservicesk9-mz.124-24.T5.bin.

And of course, we at as6939/he.net would like to help with your v6. :-)
