Hello,
I need:
Min: 1Fast Ethernet port
Min: 1DS3(T3) port 45Mbps
unchannelized
A CAM big enough to accomodate these high speeds.
I heard the 7020 & 7040 have the ability to use a T3(Route Switch
Processor) and FE (no scalability from there, but that's OK). How will
the performance compare to using a dedicated switch, like a cat 5500 or
6000 with a DS3 and FE? My boss says that the cam on the 7020 or like
router would be too small to accomodate the high speeds, is this true?
I have to have a DS3 or T3 and FE in the same box and I need to bridge
them. This is part of a project and I need to know the best way of
doing this. I have a 25K cap! Otherwise this would be much easier.
Another idea I had was to get the 7020 with a T3 and FE, then have
another switch and put that and the 7020 in the same vlan. I thought
maybe this would compensate for the small CAM in the 7020. If what my
boss said is correct, will this work?
Please excuse my little knowledge and experience with the subject! If
I'm way of base feel free to tell me where I'm ignorant!!! Can somebody
help me?
Thrown into the deep end,,
Andre
