Yes, running 3 GEIPs on a single chassis. 7200 can receive one PA-GE only,
and in 7500 a single VIP processor can handle only one gigabit port; GEIP
ports have each one its own VIP processor.

12.0(8)S is running fine. 12.0(10)S needs special version (12.0(10.6)S, if I
remember well) from TAC, 12.0(11)S drives GEIP ok but its overall result was
not good.

Be aware that some of these versions have the infamous http-server bug.
