[c-nsp] Cisco 7206VXR with NPE-G1

[Matthew Huff]

I would strongly recommend picking up a refurb NPE-G2. They should be cheap and available. We are running 15.2(4)S7 on ours with BGP/EIGRP. Very stable. You might also want to bump up your buffers on the 72xx.

Hello,

I wanted to reach out to the list to see what is the "current" and
"trusted" version of IOS for Cisco 7206VXR with NPE-G1?   I know this
hardware is EOL but we have a few still in use and wanted to get them up to
a newer version of IOS.   We are currently running 12.4(12b) which I think
we are hitting a bug with this IOS (bug ID CSCsz97091) in relation to input
errors and overruns when a "show run" is done.   I am seeing on our error
trend graphs every hour we take a burst of input errors, and they are timed
exactly to 1 hour interval.  It just so happens our RANCID implementation
is fetching configs every hour, so I have strong suspicion we are hitting
that bug on 12.4(12b).    Was wondering what is the best IOS to run on this
NPE-G1?    We do OSPF/BGP and minor static routing.   IPSEC would be nice
but not necessary in our situation.


Thanks for any IOS recommendations.


Rich
