SUP720B can't do full routes

[mbserrano]

Hello Guys,

I have a 7609 with 2 sup720B which i later found out later that it cannot support the current full routes (BGP). Is there an upgrade path for the 7203B to 7203BXL or CXL?

Thanks!

Marlon

BTW, if you upgrade from a sup720-3B to sup720-3BXL/3CXL, don't forget about the impact to DFCs, if any.

I've been searching these forums for an answer to my query and I think the above has answered it.

We have a PFC3B and all the linecards have DFC3Bs and we cannot hold the full internet routing table

So I'm going to suggest we need to get the PFC3BXL upgrade. My question is with regards to the DFCs, are we going to have to upgrade them to DFC3BXL or can we upgrade the memory using MEM-XCEF720-1GB.

If the same logic as for the supervisor applies, then I guess the answer is no

If we can't, it does beg the question, why does this part exist.

Many Thanks in advance

Dom
