Thread Index [isp-bgp] Re: Router for BGP4
Minimum 7206 for two T1s? Be serious! You do not need powerfull cpu to route such a small traffic. You do not need more then 128Mb ram if plan is to get only one full route table (actually for two full tables 128mb would still be about twice of the minimum 64Mb necessary for 2T1s with BGP). So if you like cisco and you're going to use T1s for internet connectivity, you can get 3620 with NM-1FE2W (or NM-2FE for two ethernets) and WIC-2T card (still left is one WIC card for extra two T1s and one full slot for additional ethernet, T1s, etc) or if you prefer to buy from ebay you can get older 10Mb NM and WIC-1T and fill your slot completely. You can also go with 2600 serious router, newwer cisco routers like 2691 can have 128Mb ram and have slots for same WIC T1 cards. If you do plan to upgrade to T3 in the future and do not want to buy extra router then (in my opinion since cost of router is going down, its better not to spend too much right now), then you should go with possibly 3640 or 3660 or 7204 or 7206 as suggested. > > We are planning to run bgp4 soon.
