[c-nsp] Cat 6500 spec

[vince anton]

Hi All,

Im currently looking at putting together a config for a new Cat6500, and it
got a bit overwhelming, so I thought I'd ask here to get feedback from what
people have actually been using.

I am looking at replacing a 7200 and Cat4003-SUP1 with a Cat6500 which will
hopefully do the L2 switching as well as basic L3.

The 7206 is processing some 300Mbps traffic, duplex. The L3 features I am
after: OSPF, iBGP (no full routes), VLAN routing, HSRP, PIM, WCCP, basic MQC

The Sup32 looks attractive, the Sup720 possibly overkill, but it also
depends on feature support.  Other than that I need RJ45 10/100/1000 switch
ports as well as 12 or so GBIC ports.  These cards also come in various
flavours, there is some which have DFC, and some with enhanced QoS, and some
not, and thats were I got really lost.

There are also a bunch of other cards, which Im not sure if I need any of.


Would appreciate if someone can shed some light on what would achieve the
above L2 & L3 stuff, so I can get a feel for where I stand.


thanks
