As long as you don't need a lot of interfaces the 2921 with 1G RAM will do the job (151-1.T with IP-Base). The price/performance of the 2921 is also interesting compared to a 7206 :-)

Patrick,

only one issue on RAM needed. NPE400 supports 512Mb, that's not enough for a full-view BGP. We better use 7301 or 2921 with 1Gb and 15.0 software.

Cheers Manfredo

We want to go a step further with our infrastructure and start testing/implementing IPv6.

Has anybody here a 7206VXR + NPE400 running and doing IPv6 / Full BGP / 4-byte ASN? If yes, which IOS Version and Package do you have installed. How much memory / flash do you have installed?

We currently have “only” two upstreams and some SwissIX peering.

Hey Patrick. :-)

I was running some 7206 in my past job, although these had an NPE-G1 or NPE-G2, with 1GB of RAM.

You need Advanced IP Services or Advanced Enterprise services for v6 routing, and Multiprotocol (i.e. v4 and v6) BGP. You need 12.4(24)T, or 12.2(33)SRE1 (or later, including all 15.0) for 4 byte ASNs.

So you should get away with, assuming your NPE has the storage and RAM : c7200-advipservicesk9-mz.12.2-33.SRE1 to SRE4, or c7200-advipservicesk9-mz.124-24.T5.bin.

And of course, we at as6939/he.net would like to help with your v6. :-)
