[c-nsp] 7200VXR to ASR migration advice/guidance

[Eric A Louie]

I'm getting ready to do an upgrade from a 7204VXR with 6 GigE interfaces to an ASR 1002-X, basically one for one interfaces and configuration.

Is there anything I need to watch out for, either hardware-wise or software-wise when moving the configuration?  (other than the typical nomenclature/interface designations and small syntactical changes, that is)

Any recommendations for code version on the ASR?


7200VXR is running c7200-pk9u2-mz.124-25c
I'm ordering the ASR with AIP and 8 GB RAM

The interface configuration is one downstream switch (1 Gbps @150+Mbps), one Internet upstream (full bgp), one peering fabric connection, two remote circuits (200Mbps)

I'm probably turning the 7200VXR into a ibgp route reflector - any opinions about that?

thanks
