Re: [nsp] 7204VXR not recognizing FE interfaces

        I would load some different software.

        I suggest c7200-p-mz.120-19.S

        Or something newer than that and with -k4p- if you
have access to that out of the service provider branch.

        That should support your board correctly.

        If you are truly daring you could also run 12.2(4)T1
which also has ipv6 as well as most new hardware/feature support.
