[f-nsp] BigIron/NetIron?

[Peter Clark]

Oh, the M4R4G is a IronCore (older hardware model) management module and
the BxGMR4 is a JetCore (newer/faster/more features, such as SFLOW)
management module.

Both do take the same cards, except for the management modules.  I
recall that you can't run a BigIron M3 in the NetIron.  The NetIron has
a faster processor and more memory, which was intended to handle more
BGP peers.

BigIron

Active management module:
  400 MHz Power PC processor 740 (version 8/8202) 66 MHz bus
  512 KB boot flash memory
 8192 KB code flash memory                                        
  256 KB SRAM
  128 MB DRAM

NetIron

Active management module:
  466 MHz Power PC processor 750 (version 8/8300) 66 MHz bus
  512 KB boot flash memory
 8192 KB code flash memory
  256 KB SRAM
  512 MB DRAM

Hi folks

Just a couple of silly questions.

Does anyone know what the differences are between the BigIron 4000/8000
and NetIron 400/800 series? I seem to recall reading somewhere that they
both take the same cards?

And what is the difference between the M4R4G and the BxGMR4?
Only that one has 4 GBIC ports and the other has 8 mini GBIC, or am I
missing something else?

Any help that anyone can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!
