Cisco Catalyst 8000v as an ISP Edge

[ammartalal]

We have a requirement to have a virtual router in a Colocation Data Center in Europe. The model we were given by the provider is Catalyst 8000v Autonomous Mode.

We need to connect an IPT to it and receive multiple full BGP table instances (multipath) on this router, which is going to be part of our International Network.

Can this particular model be used for the aforementioned or is it not capable enough to handle that?

hi,

If we get to the root of the hardware devices that will run the BGP protocol,

That's why the MEMORY hardware of ISP routers running BGP usually goes as 32,64,128.

You should choose a product with a high MEMORY model and upgradeable hardware.

Note: Regardless of the announcement you will receive on BGP
