[c-nsp] MPLS/IP-VPN capable cards on Cat 6500

[Arie Vayner (avayner)]

Yes, this is true, ES20 is 7600 only (I missed the 6500 angle here ;-) )

We can do VPLS with SIP400 (lower BW) or SIP600 (higher BW).

 

BTW, There is also support for MPLSoGRE

Thanks Arie. But ES cards are not supported on Cat6500, no? And also
VPLS over MPLS on a SIP in Cat6500 - is it supported? If so do you know
which SIP?

Thanks,

Marlon

Marlon,

If you have DFCs on the regular LAN cards, then EoMPLS and L3VPN will be
done in hardware and in distributed forwarding mode.
For VPLS, you need to have either an ES20/ES40 card or a SIP card facing
the core. Having this card means that again VPLS is done in hardware -
some functionality is done on the regular DFCs and some on the egress
core facing module.

Hi -Does anyone know which cards on Cat6500 support MPLS
and separately IP-VPN, posibly at 40Gbps throughput? I'm looking for a
distributed (DFC) forwarding solution?

I know that Cat6500 is very limited in VPLS support, but IP-VPN and
EoMPLS
should be no problem, right?

Thanks,
Marlon
