Cisco Service Provider code - Any good?
All, It was requested that I post this email to the Nanog list as the person in question does not have posting ability... :) Hello All, We're currently looking into migrating our Cisco 72xx and 75xx routers to Service Provider IOS and I was wondering if anyone has had any good luck with a certain version? We've seen that 12.0(25)S1 seems to be an ok version but I have also heard some gripes about it. The PAs that we run in most of the units are the following: ATM-OC3-MM ATM-OC12-MM FastE GigE The IOS would also have to support RFC-1483 connections (Preferrably RBE), BGP, IS-IS and any other basic services of the such. Thanks in advance… -- --------------------------- Jason H.

Looks like bridging (IRB and RBE) is spanky new to the S feature sets -- 12.2-14S range, so a 12.0-S load doesn't sound like it'll do the job for you. Peter E. Fry

Ooops... RBE is available for the 7500 and IRB for the 7200 in the late 12.0-S loads, apparently. Well, that's new and unusual. Bridging was unavailable on the 7500 in earlier 12.0-S versions, and I made the mistake of searching initially for both features at once. Peter E. Fry
