ASR1002

Anyone have recommendations on solid IOS XE code for ASR 1002 that's just
doing:

- BGP
- VRF's
- Many sub-interfaces and ACL's

It shipped with 02.04.02.122-33.XND2.bin

Thanks,
Kenny

2.10 has been solid on all my clients thus far and supports your below
mentioned requirements.

I would run at least the 2.5 software (XNE).

You don't mention if you have RP1 or RP2, if you're doing sw redundancy or hw redundancy or both, etc.. This will also have an impact.

I've seen some 'odd' issues with BGP on the ASR1k, so you really do want to track the latest code. It's also recommended to keep a close eye on your memory utilization and if/when any cores show up on the harddisk(s).

I'd recommend 2.4.x (XNDx) unless you REALLY need the BGP PIC features in
2.5. 2.4 was the first release to support L2VPNs and should be mature enough
in it's general support of MPLS/VRFs. 2.5 is still VERY new and was only
released publicly in December.

2.4.2 still has a few bugs but for the features you've listed above, should
be stable enough. After running it since it's release (2.3.2 previously)
I've not seen a software crash on any of our ASR1Ks. I run a mix of RP1 and
RP2 devices and since this an ASR1002 you'll be after the RP1 code.

I'm finding this to be a fascinating thread as I am currently in the process
of evaluating some M7i's vs. some ASR1002's. Seems the Jun's have settled
into a less reflexive release schedule then the ASRs currently. At some
point I'm sure the ASR's release schedule will settle into a trend more like
that of the SXI on the 6.5k or the SRx on the 7.6k.

I too, will need
BGP
Netflow
Traffic profiling/NBAR
uRPF
micro packet bursts
etc.,
and hoping to keep it in all in hardware. This may be better suited for the
Cisco-nsp list, but I am interested, as I'm sure is the OP, in more opinions
of stable releases/trains. Maybe a question better suited for the cisco-nsp
list.

thanks all

From my research - I'd have to agree. There is VRF aware NAT that I may

need in 2.5 - however I shouldn't need it right away. Perhaps give 2.5 a
chance to mature a little. Thanks for the feedback.

HI,
Who knows how to unsubscribe the mail list?
Thanks a looooooooooooooot!

Who knows how to unsubscribe the mail list?

look at the headers

look at the headers

i still read most of my mail with mutt, but in my experience, many "modern"
interfaces (gmail/thunderrbird/etc) don't make it intuative to find and/or
read the headers.

i'm just sayin'....

In gmail you click "show details" and then there is a "unsubscribe from this mailing list"-link you can click. Might not be perfectly intuitive, but it's full functionality and quite easy.

Inline (and diverse) replies, as it's more of a rant, but slightly
relevant to the list ops if not the OP topic:

Kenny's mail client may be slightly unfamiliar to most nanog users :slight_smile:
Not sure if that's relevant but it may be a contributory factor.

Maybe the problem is that we're all too old and can remember what
headers are and what they're useful for, but developers of these
"modern" mail clients just want to hide all feature that even so much as
_look like_ they have come from a CLI client.

For example, I know several otherwise competent people who glaze over
and fall asleep when I mention the Reply To: field.

agreed, after 18 month of trying to comply I still can't drive this
Evolution thing that most "new Linux-on-the-Desktop" users get as a
default install. I couldn't even find out how to bind the "h" key to
headers after a month of looking, for example. I live in hope for a Mutt
Bindings `extension`, if some developer can wake their grandparents for
some memories.

Thank you, I've now (and only now) just found a similar thingy in this client.
18 months down the line....grrr
Yet just testing it, it works for nanog, but not for 2 other lists I'm in, with similar correct headers 8-{

Are we (or rather the developers) losing the plot?
I think many of today's "web-users" may consider email old-fashioned, so if the new `app-for-that` culture doesn't provide
easy/basic access to `old-fashioned` features, things may slowly turn into interface soup.

And while I'm ranting, why has my client suddenly borked into 132 column mode? <sigh>

Ahem
now, rant off/relevance on:
Prediction:
We may have to, in the coming years, for the above reasons and more, reduce the monthly FAQ posting to bi-weekly if the unsubscribe-to-(signal+noise) ratio increases significantly.
Or a single-line howto unsubscribe message biweekly. Or something. Meh.

for days now, i've been trying to remember a quotation, which i vaguely seem
to remember popping up in trn/nn or some USENET newsreader of old, along
the lines of:

"the telephone, once commonly available in cities, ...."

or something like that.

ring a bell for anyone?

I get the distinct feeling it's a quite from an obscure scifi novel/film
or MST3K style quote, though I could be wrong. It does ring a distant
bell, but I'm not so sure about on Usenet.
Maybe it was a Gopher thing?

This newfangled Googly-thing finds nothing - it'll never catch on.

Anyone got some old Winchesters lying around that need a spin?

Good point Bill, which, if so, would place the comment at or about the
start of the cellfone introduction.

@Jim, maybe it's more a telco/2600 thing?

None of my overnite greps through old saved chats/snippets came up with
anything remotely like it, sadly.

I tried a few gopher/archie searches but the system is in very poor
shape these days, a shadow of it's early 90's usefulness.

Maybe it was on Fidonet or similar?

Anyone else have any input? Please ask your old folks :wink:

found it, actually was once in my .signature:

"The telephone, for those of you who have forgotten, was a commonly used
communications technology in the days before electronic mail.
They're still easy to find in most large cities." -- Nathaniel Borenstein

i'm guessing this is before the mobile phone explosion.

Oh, the irony. A quote from Mr MIME himself :slight_smile:

i'm guessing this is before the mobile phone explosion.

...or before acoustic couplers were junked perhaps.

Good old one.

It's funny how we circle around with technology, folks are dumping
their phone land lines and adopting wireless/mobile that required a
substantial technology leap and investment and now we are using the
mobile phone to "text" an incompressible dialect worse than the early
teletype/telex days but with a humongous infrastructure to support it.

Ohh yeah, now we can send sort of a telegram with multiple fonts and
colors almost from anywhere...

At least it doesn't do <blink>BLINK</blink> :wink:

I'm not sure how it is in other countries, but here in .au they're a
fixed and predictable price before you pay it, are significantly
cheaper than an equivalent phone call, and if you have anything that
requires accurate recording e.g. email addresses, geo addresses or
phone numbers, far less prone to errors. 25c for a text with 160
characters, or 50c flag fall for a phone call before I've even said a
word and I don't know how many I'm going to say? I know which one I'm
going to prefer..
