[AusNOG] Cisco upgrade 7206 to 7600

[Gavin Tweedie]

Can you give us a bit more info on what the 7206's are doing currently? L3 routing with an IGP and BGP? MPLS? Subscriber termination?

The major difference here is you're swapping a traditional router for a router/switch combination that is architecturally very different to your software based 7200. There are many gotchas but depending on what it's doing you might run into none or many.

On raw switching/routing/mpls performance the 7600 will totally blow away the 7200.

Hi Guys,

Investigating migrating out some Cisco 7206's and replace with 7600's at a few sites (and likely relocating everything in the rack to fit :-D)
Wondering if anyone had recommendations / pitfalls / functionality gotchas, migrating between the 2 or alternatively any feedback on general performance of the 7600's in comparison?

Have a super mega nice day.

Kind Regards,
