Yes, I am aware, although I thought that you could
partition it 100% IPv4 and nothing else. It would
seem 244 something thousand is max for IPv4.
But that is good enough for me.

Not very surprised :)

Anyway, this is a bit off the original topic. I am
still curious what the different RAM memories on
the Supervisor and MSFC2 is for. There seems to
also be a small flash memory on the MSFC2, what's
it for?

Isn't there some great Cisco 6500 bible where you
can find everything you ever wanted to know about
the 6500? :)

  Kristian.
