"Alexander Hagen" What about a 7505 w/ RSP4/256 and 2 VIP 2-50/128s with 4 PA-FE-TXs.
I would get a 7507 w/redundant RSPs and redundant PS.
For additional port density a 3550 ? Even a 2650 would do
What is better about the 7206 VXR ? Fewer software bugs,
Not in my experience.
simpler platform, half the vertical space in the rack, redundant power supplies,
Indeed. The part I missed earlier is that I think Alexander needs to buy the platform. As of today I can not recommend buying any 7500 as even the 7507 and the 7513 are going to EOL sooner or later. If you can't afford a 7603, then the 7206VXR with NPE400G and a gigabit trunk to a 3550 is what I would do.
