BOOTFLASH: 7200 Software (C7200-BOOT-M), Version 11.1(19)CC1, EARLY DEPLOYMENT RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

Consider updating your bootflash to be somewhere near currrent (something from 12.2T would be good, identical to the current version your're running is best). I've tracked down a couple of particularly weird problems that turned out to be triggered by cruft that was inherited from the initial bootflash image. Now upgrading the bootflash is the first thing I do.

Presuming you aren't running low on memory (show mem sum) or trying to push a ton of packets through it, I'd say this is likely a cutting-edge-code problem, not a platform problem, and a hardware upgrade might not do anything to help you. I don't know anyone who is (admits to?) using 12.2* in production. You say you need MSDP and SSM stuff that's only in this version; I don't know about source-specific multicast, but MSDP is supported in 12.0S...

Thanks for the advice - we will try the bootflash upgrade and report back. -- Regards Marshall Eubanks T.M.
