That's interesting. Looks like they snuck some more equipment onto the
list recently:

3700s will support just about everything. I guess anything is possible
then...

I believe they have the horse power, was just up there last month to
test, I saw 3700's in the rack.

Also keep in mind that a bunch of IPv6 features like OSPF and NAT-PT
won't run on the current lab, as they require 96mb or more of RAM, which
isn't available on a normal 2600 or 3550. They'd need 2600XMs to do
that. At least that was the case few months ago when I was looking for
a platform to run those two features on.

Hi Scott , thanks for clarification , maybe you're right about reading
;)
I also think that there won't be any advanced scenarios due to ipv6,
just as
you says , maybe few basic things.
I didn't say that IPv6 Mcast is tested anywhere :)
But, isnt't it confusing that IPv6 Mcast appears under 12.2T ?
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios123/123cgcr/
ipv6
_r/index.htm
even if in this doc is clearly stated that it starts out with 12.3T ? :)
Cheers
Mariusz

I think you're reading too much! :)
Blueprint for multicast:
IP Multicast
1. PIM, bi-directional PIM
2. MSDP
3. Multicast tools, source specific multicast
4. PGM
5. DVMRP
6. Anycast
Nowhere in here do I see IPv6 listed. And you have said so yourself
below.
So I think it would be safe to asssume that your IPv6 scenarios are
limited
to basic operations, IGP and BGP routing and perhaps QoS. So read the
IPv6
documents with that in mind!
Now, from a technical standpoint, there's still a lot that can be done,
but
you have to also look at the idea that IPv6 is not a "core" topic from
Cisco. So with that, the complexity and breadth will be less than what
you
may be fearing.
Be familiar with the basic operations. Be familiar with any details or
specific nuances within the routing protocols. And just remember that
it's
JUST another protocol stack. If you get it, when you get it, know where
to
look the information up and everything will be fine.
So remember that "anything is fair game" but I wouldn't be TOO paranoid
about it all. There are enough other things to give you headaches!
Look
at the capabilities with in the IOS that is tested on (12.2T) and until
any
other announcement is made, that's what you'll be operating under.

Hi everyone,
according to the blueprint , there is no IPv6 in sections like :
Bridging/Switching, Dial, IP/IOS Features, Multicast and Security. I
found
that only IGP/EGP routing and QoS are affected. Is my assumption correct
that only those areas that are listed will be tested ? More on that ,
Mcast
for IPv6 is available from v12.3T but the current tested version is
12.2T ,
am I missing something here ?
cheers,
Mariusz
