I'd be curious as to exactly which CEF bugs bit them. The introduction of greater MPLS functionality seems to have given CEF a nasty bit of destabilization.
Tell me about it, 12000's disabling CEF on LineCards due to various bugs has probably been the biggest problem I've seen over the past year or more. Especially since our IGP (ISIS) doesn't use IP as transport, and thus keep it's adjacencies, and blackhole all traffic recieved on such a LineCard until a human acts :-( But it seems that Cisco has a undocumented, and little know command, that will disable ISIS on interfaces residing on LineCards with CEF disabled, and trigger a reroute around the affected LineCard. router isis external overload signalling Note: We've configured it recently, and hasn't been in a situation where we've seen it in action yet, but Cisco claim that atleast one significant carrier has been using it for months. /Jesper -- Jesper Skriver, jesper(at)skriver(dot)dk - CCIE #5456 Work: Network manager @ AS3292 (Tele Danmark DataNetworks) Private: FreeBSD committer @ AS2109 (A much smaller network ;-) One Unix to rule them all, One Resolver to find them, One IP to bring them all and in the zone to bind them.
