[j-nsp] Tunnel Services

[Dermot Williams]

Erdem,

>From reading previous emails to the list, it looks like the ASM also
performs the TS function. If the ASM is present, the built-in FPC Tunnel
services slot is disabled.

http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/juniper-nsp/2006-September/006892.html

The ASM shows up in slot 1/2 as "ASP - Integrated" in place of the
Tunnel PIC. It doesn't appear that one is a pre-requisite for the other.

Regards,

Dermot

Hello,

 IIRC, there are two bundles of M7i: either on-board Gigethernet OR
ASM (services module).

 So, it doesn't necessarily mean that all M7i's would have built-in
tunnel functionality. The best way would be
to do a 'show chassis hardware' on the M7i and look for something like:

  PIC 2          REV 07   750-009487   CJ6728            ASP -
Integrated (Layer-2-3)

 Cheers,
 Erdem
