[c-nsp] npe-g2

[Wilhelm Farrugia]

Hello,

Had a BRAS having an NPE-G1 with IOS
c7200-advipservicesk9-mz.124-9.T1.bin and replaced it with an NPE-G2
with IOS c7200p-advipservicesk9-mz.124-11.T4.bin. No more users - ppp
sessions have been added and the bandwidth did not increase.

Features on the BRAS are SSG, VRFs, BGP. Both PPPoEoE, PPPoEoA and
PPPoAoA are terminated on the BRAS.

Now the NPE-G2 should support double the throughput but in my case the
CPU usage decreased by only 10%. Not quite as expected. Not sure if it
is related to a bad choice of IOS or I need to make use of a "magic
wand" (i.e. a special command ) to enable the NPE-G2 thourghput.

Any ideas are much appreciated.

10x,

Wil

Brian,

I would suggest you try out 12.2(31)SB10 (SB11 should come out sometime
soon).
It should be the best software which supports this HW and used for
broadband aggregation.
You should be able to get at least a couple of more rebuilds for this
train for the next couple of months. In longer term, you will have the
SRC train, which is the successor of the SB train.

Thanks
Arie

Hello
We are in the processes of deploying our first npe-g2 in production and
I wanted to see what the consensus is for a stable ios version.
The router will be used for pppoa termination and will be running mpls
vpn, bgp cbwfq/llq qos.
 
thanks in advance
 
Brian
