Is there any sort of general concensus on a good base config for MLS/NDE for
a 6500 w/ Sup 720's running hybrid mode?
I have 4x 6503 on a network edge acting as Layer3 switches connected to some
upstream eBGP peers which push up to 500 Mbps on very specific links; each
6503 has 2-4 links where the vast majority of the traffic flows.
The majority of the traffic is web-server hosting related.
With the base Cisco recommended MLS/NDE configs, I was running 60% CPU on
the supervisor at peak times. That's way above normal and for me these
boxes, and the fear is that on a very busy day, the CPU's might max out.
Any feedback is appreciated.
