[00:00]<gndyvx>and for mls it doesn't makes sense to have two interfaces
[00:00]<fjzvxnz-wjzc>yeah, especially since so many things are hybrid L2/L3
[00:00]<gndyvx>yeah mls
[00:01]<wnnvq_>nemith: right. if you're using a cat as a router, you should do ios, but there's still plenty of uses for catos
[00:01]<dzzzzzzz>idk personally prefer IOS
[00:01]<dzzzzzzz>SMI/EMI
[00:02]<fjzvxnz-wjzc>especially if you have device that only runs catos, like sup1a for 6000
[00:02]<dzzzzzzz>it can't run IOS?
[00:02]<wnnvq_>sup1a's are still out there?
[00:02]<dzzzzzzz>Am I correct, they have IOS for 6500s right?
[00:02]<fjzvxnz-wjzc>1 2 WS-X6K-SUP1A-2GE SAD04240E6X Hw : 3.1 :(
[00:02]<wnnvq_>they have ios for 6500's but the s1a can't run it
[00:02]<fjzvxnz-wjzc>two of those in that unit
[00:04]<gndyvx>well why have two oses
[00:04]<gndyvx>when there is a lot of cross over
[00:05]<dzzzzzzz>sup2 can support IOS
[00:05]<dzzzzzzz>I believe
[00:05]<gndyvx>it can
[00:05]<fjzvxnz-wjzc>yeah, i think sup2 can.
[00:05]<gndyvx>with a mfsc2
[00:05]<dzzzzzzz>yeah cause I've played with that
[00:05]<dzzzzzzz>and it runs IOS
[00:05]<fjzvxnz-wjzc>but unfortunately i don't have a sup2 to jack around with
[00:05]<dzzzzzzz>not sure which ver
[00:05]<dzzzzzzz>never paid attention to that
[00:05]<fjzvxnz-wjzc>the MSFC in this particular 6500 runs ios
[00:05]<fjzvxnz-wjzc>(don't they all?)
[00:06]<wnnvq_>the msfcs have to
[00:06]<gndyvx>they are stoping development of catos
[00:06]<wnnvq_>they've been saying that since 6.1
[00:06]<fjzvxnz-wjzc>they're at what, 8.4 now?
[00:06]<gndyvx>i got pretty good word on it
[00:07]<gndyvx>not just a rumor
[00:07]<dzzzzzzz>I thought they killed CatOS dev already
[00:07]<dzzzzzzz>or almost
[00:07]<gndyvx>pretty much
[00:08]<gndyvx>acutally they are in the proccess of rewriting IOS on the 7600/6500
[00:09]<dzzzzzzz>Who remembers 2948G
[00:09]<dzzzzzzz>?
[00:09]<wnnvq_>I do
[00:09]<dzzzzzzz>lol
[00:09]<wnnvq_>it was a cat4k
[00:09]<dzzzzzzz>the L3's are pretty good for Tricep or bicep work out
[00:09]<wnnvq_>just smaller
[00:09]<dzzzzzzz>lol
[00:09]<gndyvx>the -L3 was a RSM, and the L2 was a SUP 1 for a 4k
[00:09]<dzzzzzzz>I do have to say they sucked in a way, but were pretty darn stable
[00:10]<dzzc1lyvn>hey
[00:10]<dzzc1lyvn>BCMSN in 2 weeks
[00:10]<gndyvx>they are making a fixed config 6500 now
[00:10]<dzzzzzzz>fixed config?
[00:10]<gndyvx>which will be a 6748-TX with a sup32
[00:11]<gndyvx>Deranger: yeah, no modules
[00:11]<dzzzzzzz>really?
[00:11]<dzzzzzzz>oh shit
[00:11]<gndyvx>pretty sweet
[00:11]<wnnvq_>yuck, sup32
[00:12]<wnnvq_>the problem child
[00:12]<gndyvx>yeah so one module.. why the hell would you need switch fabric
[00:12]<wnnvq_>its not that
[00:12]<gndyvx>well the sup32 is becoming more stable
[00:12]<wnnvq_>having nothing but problems w/ the sup32s
[00:12]<gndyvx>native or hybrid?
[00:13]<wnnvq_>hybrid
[00:13]<gndyvx>interesting
[00:13]<wnnvq_>really bad, stupid issues
[00:15]<gndyvx>well maybe they'll port the POSIX sup720 code down to it
[00:17]<wnnvq_>posix code?
[00:18]<gndyvx>yeah they are rewriting IOS to be modular based on a posix system
[00:19]<wnnvq_>oh wow
[00:19]<gndyvx>latest version of IOS for the sup720's already supports it
[00:19]<wnnvq_>that sounds like a major change
[00:20]<gndyvx>yeah
[00:20]<gndyvx>they have what is called the "blob" which is old IOS running as a seperate proccess
[00:21]<gndyvx>so they are slowly moving the shared memory "blob" services into stand alone proccesses
[00:21]<gndyvx>(i wonder if it will do prempting)
[00:22]<gndyvx>Sam-I-Am: well there goes your old network
[00:24]<srd-i-rd>oooh?
[00:25]<srd-i-rd>heh
[00:25]<srd-i-rd>passwords for what?
[00:26]<srd-i-rd>ah yeah
[00:26]<srd-i-rd>hmmm thats really not my problem
[00:26]<srd-i-rd>i still use the mac nightly to do things for psu
[00:26]<srd-i-rd>the G4 running linux beneath your desk runs rsync backups
[00:26]<srd-i-rd>for the shitty ass DNS servers
[00:26]<srd-i-rd>which die all the time
[00:26]<srd-i-rd>the two black dell towers are the new DNS servers
[00:27]<srd-i-rd>the hateway is a triple-boot box for testing
[00:27]<srd-i-rd>heh
[00:27]<srd-i-rd>yeah, there was a huge push to replace the old shitty dns machines... so i did... then no one felt like implementing them
[00:27]<srd-i-rd>the g5
[00:28]<srd-i-rd>i can probably migrate to the g4 if it hasnt died yet
[00:28]<srd-i-rd>backups
[00:28]<srd-i-rd>it also was the sniffer box
[00:28]<gndyvx>heh
[00:28]<srd-i-rd>however, its mate died in the power swap a few weeks ago
[00:28]<srd-i-rd>the mate was monster
[00:29]<srd-i-rd>you should probably get it fixed because when some dorm student comes along and fucks the whole network up, you'll need to find the source
[00:29]<srd-i-rd>heh
[00:30]<srd-i-rd>so you're officially working now huh
