[c-nsp] Cisco WS-X6724-GE-TX Blade

[Fred Reimer]

You may want to check what speed(s) are supported on the 6724/48
SFP blades when using TX SFP's.  SOME switches support
10/100/1000 when using TX SFP's, but SOME switches (and I believe
all "Gigabit" blades for the 6500 series fall in this category)
only support 1000Mbps on TX SFP's...

Hi,

We're in a situation where next year we're going to have to
replace our 6513 chassis with 6509-E simply to get a 
full complement of 6748-GE-TX blades. What we'd prefer to do is
just add 6724-GE-TX to slots 1-6 as required. 
However, these blades don't exist - only 6724-SFP exist. So, as
24 SFP's cost the same as a 6509-E chassis it's a 
no-brainer financially, but a nightmare technically.

We have hundreds of 6513's and were hoping to make them last
until the next gen chassis come out (whenever that is) 
but the need for fabric blades is forcing our hand. We've been
making do with the 6516-GE-TX but that's EoS in Jan.

Anyone else in the same boat, or also asking Cisco to make a
GE-TX version of the 6724?

TIA
Andrew.
