Yes. I've been looking at it and a 7505 with a 3550 behind it seems the way to go for our type of operation. As a cost cutting alternative - has anyone played with the 2900 XL series using sub interfaces to turn them into virtual router ports ? or vlan groups ? Is it better to just buy a 3550 ?

Yuck. Unless you have very few flows you do not want to use MSFC1/PFC1. This platform would be good for a file server with few but highspeed flows.
This system costs somewhere around 1300.00 more than a: Cisco 7505 w RSP4 256 Plus (2) VIP 2-50/128 and 3 PA-FE-TX Obviously the Catalyst is a better unit. But will it be as "burned in" and robust as the venerable 7505 ?
The 7505 will probably handle lots of flows massively better than the SUP1A. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike () swm pp se
