Yes, we've had a 7206VXR with NSE-1 running with various versions of
12.0S for quite a while. It works okay, as long as you define "PXF not
being used at all" as working okay. You can see this with "show pxf
acc sum". On a router with PXF working, you should see for instance
the "Packets RP -> PXF" counters:
PXF Statistic:
Packets RP -> PXF:
switch ip: 0
switch raw: 165987063
qos fastsend: 0
qos enqueue: 4750
Total: 165991813
increasing steadily.
We're now running the same routers with 12.1(5a)E2, and PXF is working
nicely. We're using this box with a lot of ACLs, and the difference in
processor load with and without PXF is very significant.

It's not running.
