Re guys, just to enforce the statement that the ASR is not really in the Kindergarten anymore: rt uptime is 22 weeks, 1 day, 17 hours, 33 minutes Uptime for this control processor is 22 weeks, 1 day, 17 hours, 34 minutes System returned to ROM by reload at 11:00:33 CET Mon Dec 21 2009 System restarted at 16:16:32 CET Mon Dec 21 2009 System image file is "bootflash:asr1000rp1-advipservicesk9.02.04.02.122-33.XND2.bin" [...] cisco ASR1002 (2RU) processor with 1759125K/6147K bytes of memory. 4 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces 32768K bytes of non-volatile configuration memory. 4194304K bytes of physical memory. 7798783K bytes of eUSB flash at bootflash:. Configuration register is 0x2102 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unfortunately, it is also correct that the box crashes with soft-reconfig enabled (it's my bug, actually). Cisco told me they could not reproduce it in the lab, so there's no fix yet. With soft-reconfig disabled, the system works and is stable and fast. CPU is almost zero (2%), with >150 v4 and >40 v6 BGP sessions active. Just to mention it - I'd have preferred an NPE-G2 with some hardware forwarding board. That system simply rocks. But well, I guess this is evolution... Elmar.
