RE: Bandwidth Control Question
Thanks to everyone who responded. Looks like I'm going to have to invest in a PA-MC-2T3+ card for the 7206...I have at least four PA-MC-T3 cards, and they're not going to work the way I want them to (unless I rate-limit them).

This is for point-to-point DS3, right? I don't think you want -MC- anything, you'd want e.g. PA-2T3+ . (I don't remember the original message though.) mm

The PA-MC-2T3+ will do both channelized and unchannelized DS3 with the same PA. This makes it easier on some of us who need both and for doing sparing of hardware. It's worthwhile to spend the extra cash if you think you're going to need to do both clear channel and channelized in the same box.. when it comes time to deal with hardware failure, etc.. it'll easily pay for itself. - jared -- Jared Mauch | pgp key available via finger from jared@puck.nether.net clue++; | http://puck.nether.net/~jared/ My statements are only mine.

The quite annoying thing about that is switching a PC-MC-2T3+ interface from channelized (the default) to unchannelized causes a cbus complex restart, which interrupts traffic through the router for a period of time (the time varies based on the number of interfaces in the router). Of course, since OIR sometimes can cause a router reload anyway, maybe that's not such a problem. :-) -- Chris Adams <cmadams@hiwaay.net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.

I stand corrected, thanks. I had thought the -MC- adaptors were channelized only. Is that something with with the '+' or have I just always been wrong? :-) mm
