Re: [swinog] Recommanded IOS Package for 7206VXR + NPE400 to do IPv6/BGP + AS Number 4-byte
Hi @Manfredo/Daniele - Hmm..Already thought about perhaps switching to one of this routers. Is a 2921 really taking all (Full IPv4/IPv6 Features incl. all BGP, ASN 4-bytes) just with the regular IP Base = Part-No. CISCO2921/K9? What can we expect as maximum traffic for this configuration? @Andy/Michael - Would the SP not be sufficient. Or why should we use Advanced IP or Advanced Enterprise service? @Kurt - What are the hardware specification of your setup for you Quagga? Is Quagga able to do HSRP or something similar? How much bandwidth do you handle with that configuration? @All, is enabling of IPv6 taking that much memory, so 512 MB with two full feed and some SwissIX peering would be enough? Thanks already for your pervious answers. Kind Regards Patrick -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Manfredo Miserocchi [mailto:m...@wari.net] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 13.

Re: [swinog] Recommanded IOS Package for 7206VXR + NPE400 to do IPv6/BGP + AS Number 4-byte
Hi Patrick I've seen 2921 doing 150 Mbit/s mixed HTTP traffic (without many services configured and with about 50% CPU load). And yes, with the new IOS version 15 you can run full BGP and IPv6 BGP with the IP Base Feature Set. I can confirm this. Also OSPFv3 is working in IP Base. Since this is a software router it depends very much what services you configure (rpf checks etc.). Also if you get DoSed the box won't last for long. But they're pretty powerful if you consider the price. You can get it with 1.5 or 1 GBytes factory upgraded memory, 512 MB should work too, but IMHO not for long :) If you want to go a step higher consider a pair of ASR1001, but the price gap from the 2921 or even 2951 is fairly large.

Hy Patrick, For a Service Provider or Carrier yes. The most importing stuff is in: (BGP/OSPF/HSRP/VRRP/ASN4BYTE/IPV6/ACL/NETFLOW) check out the feature list: c7200-spservicesk9-mz.122-33.SRE3 - http://tools.cisco.com/ITDIT/CFN/Dispatch GET Memory usage BGP Process: show processes memory | begin BGP Router Get the holding row are in bytes So if you try to use 2 ipv4 full peerings you router maybe reload cause of memory overflow. Or you optimize the routing tables maybe it holds, One ipv4 full table and one or two ipv6 full tables, that should work quite nicely. But if you would make it professional you get a little newer system ;) http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/routers/ps341/prod_end-of-life_notice0900aecd806b8c96.html best regards Michael On Thu, 2011-07-14 at 16:52 +0200, Patrick Studer wrote: sufficient. ___ swinog mailing list swinog@lists.swinog.ch http://lists.swinog.ch/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/swinog

We have 4 x 2921 as frontend BGP routers carring 100 Mbps average with full BGP table @ v4 / v6. With 1 GB RAM and a lean straight configuration the CPU load is topping at 18%. Regarding the memory for full-table BGP: With 512 M in total you will run really short (depending how much is reserved for I/O, buffers, ...). With 1G you still have plenty of space to be filled with v6 prefixes :-) Daniele -Original Message- From: swinog-boun...@lists.swinog.ch [mailto:swinog-boun...@lists.swinog.ch] On Behalf Of Patrick Studer Sent: Donnerstag, 14.
