The balkanization of the OS platforms only amplifies this; "non-core" functionality such as IOS's incredibly rich SNMP support is simply infeasible without the combined support of a broad base of platforms. I would eagerly and enthusiastically embrace NX-OS if there was an interest in consolidating IOS/XR/XE in that direction. XE is the most promising migration path, IMHO, as they've embraced modularity and a proprietary forwarding plane, while still providing commonality with the control plane (I believe it is still that team's intent to regularly re-sync with 12.2S for management features). _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
