[j-nsp] Supported REs for M7i

[Mike Williams]

Hey Phil,

I can't confirm if the RE-1800 is shipping yet or not, or what compatibility 
issues might arise, but we've had a quote for them.
If you buy a new M7i (M7iBASE-AC-1GE) for $25k Juniper will replace the stock 
RE with the RE-1800 (RE-B-1800X1-4G-BB) for $5k.
To buy just the RE-1800 (RE-B-1800X1-4G-R) it's $20k.

Those are list prices (which if you search are available online, in case 
anyone from Juniper disapproves of me saying!).



RE-B-1800X1-4G-BB
Routing Engine with 1.73GHz processor, 4GB DDR3 memory with ECC, 64
GB SSD and 4GB compact flash
