[c-nsp] Dreaded FIB Exception on Sup2

[Oliver Dewdney]

Do you need full routing tables? Jon Lewis emailed a week ago about how to reduce the table by filtering the bgp feeds to get the table to fit. I think that the routing/connectivity should be fine for a hosting provider.

which can be used until you are in a position to upgrade or Cisco come out with a FIB optimization, which will never happen.

How did Cisco come out with so many 720s that the compatibility matrix is so complicated?

Well, I've hit the dreaded error message on my Sup2:

%MLSCEF-SP-7-FIB_EXCEPTION: FIB TCAM exception, Some entries will be
software switched

I've done a lot of reading on this (cisco.com, this list, etc.), with the
conclusion that this supervisor engine is likely just at the end of its
useful lifetime, but I figured I'd double check I wasn't missing anything.

This happened when I started getting a full routing table from a provider
today.  We're connected to one peering point and another aggregation-style
provider, and are in the process of adding a Cogent connection (hold
any tempting comments on that one, please).
