[AusNOG] Cisco 7606 hardware advice.

[Tony]

Hi Will,


1. Yes, VLAN's are locally significant per port on the ES20+ ports so you won't have the same problem that you do with the LAN cards (which are essentially a switch like a 3550/3750 jammed into a module slot - thats how I like to think of them)

2. 16k VLANs, 96k MAC addresses per card, according to the spec sheet [1]

3. HQos is supported [1]

4. NFI - the 7600 platform doesn't do VPDN if that helps.

regards,
Tony.

        doesn't sound like you are) then you only need the base ES+ card
        which should do all of the things you have listed.

>>>We are looking at getting a 20GE port 7600 ES+ Card.
                There are a quite a few different models, we are not
                sure which one is the right one. We will be using this
                card for Metro Ethernet Termination, MPLS VPN, EoMPLS,
                QoS (Marking, CBWFQ), PPPoE, possibly VPLS.

                difference between them.
