Re: [swinog] Recommanded IOS Package for 7206VXR + NPE400 to do IPv6/BGP + AS Number 4-byte
Hi Mathias Thank you for you Feedback. It seems to be a good alternative to our currently installed VXR7206 with NPE-400. Also, if I look on the performance Sheet from Cisco, where the 2921 even outperform the NPE-400 a little bit. I think, we will take a deeper look in this solutions. Thanks you again. Kind Regards Patrick PS: Hope your installation work at EBM, which you have done about 2 weeks ago, went well ;-) -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Mathias Seiler [mailto:mathias.sei...@mironet.ch] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 14.

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.

Hi Daniele Thanks for your real work sample. As I already written to Mathias, I really think, you should take a deeper look on switching perhaps to two 2921 (side effect will be, that we will will a little bit of Rackspace ;-).

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.
