[c-nsp] ubr npe-g2 vs 7200 npe-g2

[Jaquish, Bret]

Again this is only concerning the NPE-G1 according to them..
(I can only go by what Cisco is saying, since I don't know myself)

"The Cisco 7200 VXR routers and Cisco uBR7200 series routers use different models of the NPE-G1 processor"

According to them....

1. The Processors are different.
2. They have different labels (duh).
3. They use different boot helper images (maybe because of the different processor?).

I wish I had a spare to test it out with.  If anyone has both, it would be interesting to see the differences.

The two models of NPE-G1 have different labels and use different boot helper images, and they cannot be interchanged between the Cisco 7200 VXR routers and Cisco uBR7200 series routers."

I'm not sure if I find "have different labels" a compelling reason for
not being interchangeable (or having different PPS specs).

Boot helper is one of the most misunderstood parts of the 7200 series
anyway... (*and* it can be changed).
