Re: SUP720 vs. SUP32

[Brian Feeny <bfeeny () mac com>]

Honestly, my advise is don't handle full tables in switches unless you  
want to use 3bxl.  Use routers, any old ISR can do 1GB memory or so  
and handle the table just fine, and run you a fraction of the cost.   
Keep internal routes, defaults, etc in the switching core.
