[c-nsp] Cisco ME3800X/ME3600X - Any experiences worth sharing?

[Waris Sagheer (waris)]

Hi Nick,
You mentioned broken IPv6, it should be working in the latest image
15.1(2)EY1a. Let me know which image you are having the problem.
-SPAN/RSPAN support is being planned for Q4CY12.
-4 Byte ASN support is being planned for Q3CY12.
-uRPF early 2013
-Egress Policing on non LLQ early 2013
-Policy Routing is in radar

-Waris

David,

there have been several discussions about this over the last couple of
months - you should check out the archives.  The general impression I'm
getting is that the hardware seems to be ok but the software is still
quite
immature in areas.  I'm looking at them myself for a project, so have an
active interest in them.

There are several important features which are still not there,
including
ipv6 (broken), RSPAN (unimpl), policy routing (unimpl), ASN32 support
(unimpl), unicast RPF (unimpl), QoS (problems with egress policing).

Having said that, the metro ethernet functionality looks awesome, and
the
hardware itself is very juicy (reasonably large buffers, or enormous on
the
me3800x), and development is progressing extremely quickly on the
system,
both in terms of fixing existing problems and adding new features.

Anyway, check out the archives, talk to your local SE and account
manager -
maybe they could get you a unit on sale or return basis or something?

Nick
