[AusNOG] Cisco upgrade 7206 to 7600

Hi Andrew,

What do you currently use the 7200's for ?

As you've already suggested, size is fairly different. Also be aware of differing power requirements on the physical size of things.

In terms of functionality you will mostly likely find a lot of things that you would easily do on the 7200 that you might not be able to do on the 7600. It is a hardware platform and so if it can't do something in hardware, it won't do it (as opposed to 7200, which does everything in software). Have a search on the c-nsp archives, there is a lot of information on gotchas and caveats.


regards,
Tony.

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?
