[c-nsp] Thoughts on the ASR9902?

2024-10-10 Thread Shawn L via cisco-nsp
We're in the process of looking for another small (form-factor) router that will be able to handle multiple full BGP tables and has some 100G interfaces on it. We're currently using an ASR9901, which is working fine, but Cisco in their infinite wisdom has just put that on the end-of-sale list. On

Not to hijack the thread, but I wanted to add -- Just because the fiber jumpers are new, does not mean they are clean. I had a 40 gig link that started taking errors. Moreso when it was under load. I personally cleaned everything. Still had issues. Replaced the optics, no change. New, cleaned

[c-nsp] Support for CFP2

2024-01-19 Thread Shawn L via cisco-nsp
At $dayjob we're working on turning up a 100G connection with a provider. At this point, it looks like the only optic that's meets their criteria is a CFP2. Unfortunately, we don't have any equipment that supports those. Everything we have uses the QSFP28 form factor, and there doesn't seem to be

[c-nsp] ASR9901 licensing configuration

I have a new ASR9901 and this is my first foray into Cisco's smart licensing. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I've found numerous cisco docs for configuring it, but the commands don't seem to be present on my router. For example, the ASR9k documentation (I cannot seem to find 9901 sp

That's one of the major reasons we're sticking with the ASR920 in metro deployments for all it's faults. They do silly license stuff on the 12SZ (no bulk, make all the 10G ports work license) but once you figure out their quirks they do work quite well. We did just receive a 9901 (purchased 6 mon

[c-nsp] Best Practices for Transporting Layer-2 Services

2023-01-12 Thread Shawn L via cisco-nsp
I'm wondering what other providers are doing when they need to transport a bunch of third-party layer-2 services? For Example -- if another SP wants to hand you 3 vlans (for example 10,11,12) and have you transport them to a couple of sites. Vlan 10 (could be Q-in-Q or not) needs to go to sites A
