Re: Small CMTS installs said by cablegeek01:I haven't done any D3 installs on the Cisco UBR7246 chassis, but from what I understand, the only card that supports D3 is the MC88V.
And it has a mighty pretty price attached to it too, lol. Cheapest i have seen is 25k a card. At 100k for 4 cards, and then reserve cards to boot, that is what is keeping us from upgrading to d3. |

kudos:1 | $25k/card is not a bad price -- all things considered.
most of the d/c work that i do requires n7k-m132 cards -- list of about $45k/card. and you have to buy two chassis if you want all of the neat features.
i'm sure that if you get in touch with your friendly cisco se -- they can work something out with you.

As small of a system as we are, at 25k a card it would far surpass a return doing the retro... but i could always dream  |

thats for sure.
the enterprise customers i've worked with have received anywhere between 50 and 65% off -- with nearly 67% off smarnet in some cases.
of course -- these customers are buying 15-20million at a time -- so cisco can bend over a little bit for them.
