[c-nsp] Cat 6500 spec

[Ed Butler]

Here's an example non-redundant config:

1x 6503 Chassis
1x WS-SUP32-GE-3B		(gives you the Supervisor and 8x SFP
ports)
1x PWR-1400-AC		PSU component specific to the 6503 chassis
1x PEM-20A-AC+		PSU component (DC rectifier) specific to the
6503
1x WS-X6416-GBIC		16x GBIC ports 
1x WS-X6148V-GE-TX 	48x 10/10/1000 copper ports

If you can put up with having some SFP and some GBICs, you could get a
WS-X6408-GBIC card instead.

You will need to work out what licensing you need too.

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


anton
