[c-nsp] Cisco 7600 Router Related

[Tony]

Hi,

I'd have to agree with the other couple of responses thus far.

We run 7600's around the place and our current planning focus is on what we're going to be migrating TO (away from 7600) in the next 12-18 months. Having said that, we have put in one or two additional 7600's this year, but we already have a bunch of them and the reason for adding extra's is that we understand them really well and are not quite ready to migrate to something new just yet.

One of our main reason for moving to something new is port density issues (10G ports).

The 7600's are quite cheap to pick up 2nd hand though (comparatively).

In regard to your actual question, I would use the ES20+ cards over the SIP-600. You'll get more Gig ports and better throughput (less over-subscription). Cisco says you do need that license although technically the box will run without the license (ie. it's honour system).

You said you're wanting to migrate to the 7600, what are you migrating FROM ?


regards,
Tony.

Hi everyone,

We are going to migrate to 7600 series router and after some study we came
to below sets for router. We would run L2/L3 MPLS VPN, VPLS, BGP, IPv6,
OSPF, Netflow. Traffic would be over 2 gbps and we need few 10G ports and
scope for future growth and also consider cost.  Which set would be the
better?

*SET1 *

*Product Name*

*Part number*


Cisco 7606 Chassis

CISCO7606



Spare Power Supply

PWR-2700-AC/4=


Cisco 7600 Route Switch Processor 720 with 10 Gigabit Ethernet Uplinks

RSP720-3CXL-10GE


Cisco 7600 Series Ethernet Services Plus 20 G Line Card, 20-port GE SFP and
DFC-3CXL

7600-ES+20-GE3CXL


Cisco 7600 Series Ethernet Services Plus 20 G Advance License

76-ES20+-ADVIP-LIC



Do I really need the *76-ES20-ADVIP-LIC *for MPLS.


*SET 2  *

*Product Name*

*Part number*

Cisco 7606 Chassis

CISCO7606

Spare Power Supply

PWR-2700-AC/4=

Cisco 7600 Route Switch Processor 720 with 10 Gigabit Ethernet Uplinks

RSP720-3CXL-10GE

Cisco 7600 Series SPA Interface Processor-600

7600-SIP-600

Cisco 10-Port Gigabit Ethernet Shared Port Adapter

SPA-10X1GE


Is *WS-X6724-SFP* compatible with 7600? I didn't find any document.

Thank you in advance.
