According to the list of supported boards last time I looked, there is
still no FDDI supported by the VXR chassies. Maybe it's changed, I don't
know why Cisco can't at least verify the PA-FD-MM/FDX or issue and ECO to
make it work. FDDI is in the decline, but there are still routers wanting
to be upgraded and memory limites on the NPE<300 that are becoming critical
in the FDDI/NAP role.
For a lot of FDDI, you need a 7505/VIP/FDDI, for a little access, just
pick up a Cisco FDDI/Etherbridge...
There are a bunch of other perfectly good boards that aren't supported
in the VXR, most of them at least have current product line alternatives.
