Hi, a customer of ours has inquired about a 10G-capable device to be used as sort of a "router on a stick" in their LAN. They currently still use a Novell Netware VM to do the L3 forwarding between multiple subnets, and would like to replace this with some piece of hardware instead.
I've been looking around at different $C devices that might be able to do this at a decent price-point, and have come up with the ME3600X ... at a list price of approx. 12k$ (switch plus 10G license) this seems one of the more affordable 10G-capable devices from Cisco. Cisco Presales has confirmed that it will do 44Gbit/s both L2 and L3 ... Are there any other device in that price range that could be used for this? 1-2 10GE ports and L3 capable of course ... dynamic routes aren't really necessary, neither are ACL etc ... Thanks, Garry _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
