[c-nsp] 6500: egress replication mix and match with non-forwarding line cards

[christian.macnevin at uk.bnpparibas.com]

  Cheers Ian! The caveats don't seem to bad here - just so long as I'm not 
planning on using my 6816 ports as multicast-enabled
interfaces, I should be safe.

Cheers
Christian

line cards







There was a feature added in 12.2(18)SXF that allows one to force the 
system into egress mode, with the caveat that no multicast is sourced 
or egresses the non-egress capable card.  Please make sure you 
understand what you are doing if you use this feature.

The Enhanced FlexWAN, 7600-SIP-200, 7600-SIP-400, 7600-SIP-600 are 
also egress capable.
