[c-nsp] Exceeding the bandwidth points on a 7200

2009-03-23 Thread Justin Shore
I have a situation on a 7206VXR w/ a NPE-G1 where I need to add a MC DS3 module. The box already has 4 PA-A3-OC3SMI PAs. I'd like to add a PA-MC-T3 to the box as well. I know that the OC3 PAs max the bandwidth points out for each PCI bus. However the OC3s are very lightly loaded. Looking

I think there was a supportable way of adding another module via the IO slot using a special card in the IO slot that provides you with a PA slot that doesn't count towards the BW points of the other busses if I remember correctly. Justin Shore wrote: I have a situation on a 7206VXR w/ a NPE-G1

The card Walter mentioned is the C7200-JC-PA. http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/routers/ps341/product_data_sheet0900aecd804419c6.html It works with the NPE-G1 or G2 and it looks like the PA-MC-T3 is listed a supported adapter in it. This basically replaces your I/O card (or blank if
