I've run Native with IPX routing between WAN links to our data center
and the 5,000+ device LAN and never saw the CPU go above 3% or so (and
there was also IP routing, ACLs, NATing, QoS and Distribute lists all
being handled on that same Sup2/MSFC2).

Isn't IPX routing done in software on MSFC2? Doesn't matter if it's
Native or Hybrid.
Software performance of MSFC2 is not too bad, should be able to couple
with 300 clients.

Also note that AFAIK, IPX routing in Native IOS on the Sup 2 is done in
software, not hardware.
If you need lots of performance with IPX routing, stick with hybrid.

Hey all,
Just looking to see if anyone has done bridging of IPX across 802.1q
trunk links on a 6509.
I'm in process of ordering some new Sup-2's running Native mode, and I'm
having trouble determining if I can in fact bridge IPX across a trunk
link.
Its not by choice that I'm doing this, but the current env. Is all one
big IPX network in bridging mode. I'm going to rip out the Sup-1 and
replace it with 2 of the Sup-2's. The 6509 is going to have Gig trunk
ports to several floors connecting up to 3550's. Currently the DC
servers and the clients are all hard-coded for frame type and network
number. The Servers are running some special applications that are going
to prevent me from changing there network number so I think that I'm
only left with the option of bridging IPX until I can complete the
migration to IP only. There are 300+ clients and changing the clients
isn't an option...
I have found documentation stating that it can be done on routers, but I
can't find any confirmation that it can be done on the 6509 sup cards. I
don't see why not, but I'm trying to eliminate any potential cut-over
problems before they happen.
Any insight or pointers is greatly appreciated as always!
Larry
