That sounds like salesspeak. I've used lots of cabletron hubs and such over the years, but they never seemed to have real routers.
As far as I know, Cabletron's router blades for their switches are just Cisco 4500's with one of the NPM slots tied to the backplane. I assume you could run BGP on it, although performance might not be good enough.
it was the 4700, and it is my understanding that the agreement between cabletron and cisco fell through, so the 4700 blades are all sitting around, and cabletron can't legally sell them. richard -- Richard Welty rwelty () neworks net http://www.neworks.net
