While your at it, does it have full MPLS-PE capabilities on every port and
every VLAN (like 720-3BXL)?

I am considering the SUP32/7600 combo for a project.

The features fit our requirements nicely. The cost is palatable. But it's
new hardware. Same goes for software. CC has one version of code to
download for the SUP32 : ) I know it's based on 12.2S, but it's daunting
nevertheless

So has anyone braved the SUP32 yet ? If so can you share your impressions
on hardware & software stability ?

Indeed.

I'm curious: am I the only one using SXE or SXF on a BGP-speaking router,
and observing memory leaks in "BGP router" like hell?

We need to reboot the box every 6-8 weeks due to "out of memory" :(

There's a TAC case open already, but it's dragging along since weeks, and
no obvious bugs have shown their heads (except for those that are claimed
to be fixed in SXF - but the mem leak is still there).

We're running SXE3 on our peering routers with uptime of 14 weeks and 330
megs memory usage total.

We have had quite a few cases on the 7600 12.2.18SX[DE] series, some have
taken quite a long time to resolve (mls cef bug took 6-8 weeks and we
never really got a good explanation or definitive fix, just recommended
upgrade and the problem was gone), some are not resolved yet.

IPv4 only, or IPv4+IPv6? Any "soft in" configured?

We have IPv4+IPv6, and the IPv6 have "soft in", because I really like to
be able to see what our peers sent to us before it hit our inbound
route-maps/prefix-lists. For IPv4, I've switched it off, assuming it
had anything to do with the mem leaks - but it didn't change anything,
so I don't think it has.

What unresolved issues are you seeing?

, we're quite happy, except for the BGP memory leak

v4 and v6. All peer-groups have "soft in" enabled.

We've had two units crash by diag, CSCeh46021, this is unresolved and we
dont know when it'll happen again. Bad part is that they crash and end up
in rommon.

We're also seeing issues with BFD and other such features, but this
generally works not so good on any platform we've tried it on.

We are too, the price/performance is quite good.

This is interesting. So why don't you see memory leaks in BGP?

Weird stuff.
