Hmm; why do you want to keep BGP on a switch instead of installing separate router? Do you have a very wide uplink (uplinks)? // I do not object an idea.
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 ?

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
