Also, in the can't run catagory there are some (usually smaller) providers still using 7000's, 4000's, and other (dare I say even 2501's?) for customer attach.
Au contrair, monfrair (sp?!); CEF & CAR is available on many platforms now; we've got it running on 3600's, 4700's, and 7200's. My understanding is that is will also work on 2500's (I was told anything but PowerPC based systems).
According to Cisco's documentation CAR is supported on these platforms: * Cisco 2600 series * Cisco 3600 series * Cisco 4500 series * Cisco 4700 series * Cisco 7200 series This is the listing in the IOS 12.0 documentation. I am not sure if CAR is even supported in previous versions of their IOS. It is unlikely, but it is also possible the upstream provider is running non CISCO hardware which doesn't support CAR... === Tim ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Tim Winders, CNE, MCSE | Email: Tim.Winders@SPC.cc.tx.us | | Network Administrator | Phone: 806-894-9611 x 2369 | | South Plains College | Fax: 806-897-4711 | | Levelland, TX 79336 | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------
