[c-nsp] 7200s (VXRs and not) and MPLS capabilities

[Brian Turnbow]

The 7200s non vxr will do mpls just fine.
I ran some in the past with npe 225s for mpls L3 VPNs with no problem.
Having said that I would spend the extra money and get a vxr chassis, especially if you are going to be doing VoIP.
You can still go with an older NPE to save money but you will have protection twords the future, by just changing the NPE.
The 7200 non vxr supports up to the NPE 225, 300s will work with some older ios code  even if it is a "non supported" configuration.
Newer ios trains will not boot with anything bigger than a 225.
If you do need full routes you have to go with the npe 400 that supports 512M of ram anything prior maxes out at 256M.

Does anyone have any links to info on the MPLS capabilities of the 
non-VXR 7200s and how they stack up against their VXR siblings 
(cousins?)?  We have an option of picking up some inexpensive non-VXRs 
(I don't know what CPUs yet) and are considering using these to 
terminate DS3s of T1 customers.  VRFs for MPLS VPN would be in use for 
some of the customers.  MLPPP for some as well.  QoS for voice.  Other 
than that it should be very basic.  I'm hoping that no one would want 
full tables, though I can't recall what the IPv4 route limits are for 
processors before the G1.

For that matter we also have the option of picking up some cheap 7500s, 
though I'm less inclined to use these for anything.

Thanks
  Justin
