[c-nsp] 10GE card for 7609

Tue Mar 31 21:00:14 EDT 2009

How much RAM do you have in your 6704?  I have some too running in a RSP without issues and just got a new one.  It refused to push the FIB to the DFC and blew up due to low memory.  Our vendor only put a 256MB stick of RAM in this card when they usually have 1GB.

Other than that, I haven't had any issues.

Yes you can use the WS-670x in the 7600 with an RSP, I have a couple of
chassis with this at the moment, given they are the 6704(one with DFC)
10GE's but I can't see a 6708 not working either...
