[c-nsp] ASR9K using XR 7

[Erik Sundberg]

We're running the following right now.
ASR9906's
A99-RSP-SE
A9K-MOD200-SE with A9K-MPA-20X1GE and A9K-MPA-8X10GE
A9K-24X10GE-1G-SE


William, do you have have a bug id for the VPWS bug? We are doing a bunch of ethernet services.



Glad to hear that so far that XR 7 is working as expected and nothing major.

Thanks

Erik

Done some 7.1.3.

-Mind the possibility that you need golden FPD upgrades (previous release we were on claimed it did it, but 7.1.3 actually fixed it..
oops).
-Also, depending on how you handle VPWS configs, there may be a little funny behavior, already SMU'ed.
-If you've done Golden ISO in the past, you may run into a space problem on admin plane.

Overall, we're seeing nothing interesting so far on Tomahawk + RSP880/RP2.
