[c-nsp] ME3800X/ME3600X/ME3600X-24CX/ASR903/ASR901 Deployment Simplification Feedback

[Tom Marcoen]

We're currently also using ASR9010 as core routers with ME3600X as the access "switches" but are now looking at replacing the ME3600X with ASR9000v extension shelfs. Does anyone have any experience with this setup?

At first side it looks nice and (a bit) cheaper but I noticed the ASR9000v comes with 11-port increment licenses and does not have a redundant power supply. This last issue is show-stopper for us.

Anyway, I would like to hear your views on the matter.

Best regards
Tom
