[c-nsp] ASR920 Opinions

2017-12-19 Thread Jason Lixfeld
Hey all, With the ME3600 EOL, we’re looking to start deploying ASR920s. These boxes would run 100% L3 on the core facing sides (at 10 or 20Gbps), and aside from the odd corner case, 100% L3 on the customer facing side. Some of the more major features they’d run would be: ISIS LDP BFD BGP-VPNv4

Hi Jason, We're running several, primarily as PE's facing external networks, with ISIS, LDP, BGP, VPNv4, IPv6 (not 6VPE) and EoMPLS. So far, no major issues, we're running 03.16.04.S or 03.16.05.S. Core facing interfaces are IP only, not trunks attached to BDI's. My only concern up to this poin

Hey, We have about 40 of ASR920's, mostly 24SZ-M and 24SZ-IM variants. We're running mainly 03.16.04S and 03.16.05S. We're using ASR920s only for layer-2 transport -- pseudowires and VPLS; For internet customers, we establish an L2 pseudowire to transport the user from ASR920 to an IP transit

We use ASR920-24 for a very small FTTX broadband deployment. We do Internet in a VRF and use table filter "selective download" to install default only in FIB. (This is belt-and-braces as we only send/receive default, but I like the functionality.) We also use the IOS-XE DHCP/DHCPv6 server. Works w
