[c-nsp] Sup2T netflow problems

[Chad Burnham]

HI all,

We have been hitting this bug for over a year now and it is super annoying. Complete chassis reboot is our only fix.
We had one of our SUP2T crash last week and I got this from TAC:

----------------
TAC Engineer reported:
I looked at the crash and have come across the following bug.

CSCug72332    Supervisor 2T or Line Card Resets due to Netflow Interrupt 
The bug is a closed bug and there is an enhancement which fixes the issue.

CSCug86296    Sup2T: EARL8 Netflow ECC enhancement 
The bug is fixed in 15.1(2)SY2 and above.

--------------
FYI, 15.1(2)SY2 is not available and was told:

>The IOS is not available as of now. The expected date on CCO is 7th March 2014.

We are anxious for Engineering to fix the stubborn, random, and hard to detect Netflow issues on this platform that was ironically sold to us as a superior Netflow platform.

Hmm... so you're saying Bug Toolkit isn't precise? I find that hard to believe. ;-)

A few weeks/months of useful Netflow and working CLI is a far cry from what I'd find acceptable, but I guess there was a portion of sarcasm in that sentence. :-)

We'll try contacting our partner and SE for any news on the bug. Thanks!
