[c-nsp] BGP Router

[Reuben Farrelly]

Yes this switch is fine for running BGP with the caveat that you won't 
be able to take a full BGP table on this hardware.  I believe the 
hardware TCAM is limited to about 250,000 routes.

You will most certainly want to upgrade that IOS though.  It's years out 
of date.  You should find that the most recent IOS for these units - 
which is 12.2(33)SXI5, should work well.
