RE: Cisco Router best for full BGP on a sub 5K bidget 7500 7200 or other vendor ?

The MSFC1 is a useless thing, and it is (more or less) impossible to get a full BGP route view. S1A-MSFC2 is minimum. On Sun, 25 Apr 2004, Alexander Hagen wrote:

I bought a Riverstone Rs-3000 for BGP with a single upstream provider. Great Deal.

Now I am back to the Cisco Question.

I have two options within my budget:

1) Catalyst 6006 w/ CATALYST 6000 SUPERVISOR ENGINE 1-A, 2GE, PLUS MSFC & PFC 2) CATALYST WS-X6248-RJ45, 48-PORT 10/100 FAST ETHERNET SWITCHING MODULE 3) DRAM UPGRADE to 256 on Supe Card.
