Currently have T1 aggregation on some Cisco 7206VXR routers. Core switches and data center gateways on a couple of Cisco 6509's. Looking for a model that could collapse both functions into just two devices, one being for hardware redundancy. Any recommendations on a good L3 switch that is also a good T1 aggregation device? Anyone have any experience with the newer Cisco stuff like the ASR 1000/7600/CRS-1?

Forgive the dumb question, but what's wrong with using a 6509 as a T1 aggregation device? Port density not cost-effective? I've seen it used that way on a number of occasions with cheap M13 muxes and DS3 interfaces.

Things get sillier by the day. A sig of more than 4 lines is too long,
let alone all this completely unenforceable BS. If anyone sends me an

You might want to post this over to cisco-nsp because there are lots of
options depending upon your configuration. If you're looking at port
density it seems to me you would want your router/switch to have the biggest
mux ports possible. So, you could look at OC-3 or even higher in the router
platforms. You can get up to an OC-12 channelized, but it all depends upon
your configuration.

Whee! Been almost a week since somebody has tripped that one.
Why not tell the lawyer that told the CIO to put that on every outgoing
message.
I'll tell you why not. It will do less good than whining about it here.
Again.
Isn't that just CYA? Thank the lawyers and "corporate compliance
offices" and professional whiners.
