Thanks. So is there a way to do egress police on the WS cards?

This is by design since the WS-6748 cards are for LAN environment. You
would need to use either a SPA module, or better the ES cards:

Hi,

ME3750 is able to do this.

Me3750 has been announced EoS a few months ago. Therefore I don't
recommend for new installations.

Hi Peter,

It looks like you are running into known bug CSCtl23397, which is fixed
in 8.2.5.6 and higher images.

I would recommend upgrading to 8.2.5.13, which is currently posted to
Cisco.com

http://www.cisco.com/cisco/software/release.html?mdfid=279916878&flowid=4819&softwareid=280775065&release=8.2.5%20Interim&rellifecycle=&relind=AVAILABLE&reltype=all

Sincerely,

David.

Subject: [c-nsp] 3750E as backup edge router default only
Message-ID:
	<E27573AA-F07A-45CD-BF82-874AB02CD90F at exchange.princeton.edu>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

We would like to try a 3750E as a backup router should we have a 
catastrophic failure of our current 6500 that has 3 ISP attached.  This 
would only be used as a temp ISP backup.

The 3750E would only need to connect to one ISP at 1G and only need 
DEFAULT to peer.


Is there any issues with it acting as a router with apron. 16 subnets?

If I run the 3750E in ROUTER mode vs VLAN mode will there be an issue 
with the MAC table size being only 3K ROUTE vs 16K VLAN mode?


We are concerned with the size of the ARP and BRIDGING tables possibly 
maxing out.   Maybe it's not really an issue, but just asking for 
advise.



We would be using a 3750E because we already have them used elsewhere.



Thanks for any advise.

Just default route? No big route table? Sure it can be done. I wouldn't
recommended but I'm not in your shoes. Remember that some security
features you would use to protect yourself may not be on the switch IOS
in the same way they are on a router IOS. CoPPs for example...

Also I'm struggling with your ARP concerns. You will be "routing" on
this device right? How much local (broadcast domain) activity will you
have where you would be building up a large ARP cache? Would this be a
stack with a bunch of flat stuff staggered off it as will as performing
the routing function?
