The features you are requesting are software features, not hardware features. In nearly all cases, as long as you have the correct IOS version, the router platform doesn't matter. There are a few cases where some features are only available on certain router hardware platforms, but that is the exception rather than the rule. All router platforms from the 800 series on up (including the 1700 series) support NAT and fast switching provided you use the correct IOS. If your using 12.1 or above code, you just need the basic IP feature set to get the features you want. You typically won't find software features by searching on individual router hardware documentation. For future reference, you can search for particular features for particular code revs and hardware platforms as http://www.cisco.com/go/fn HTH, Kent -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, September 20, 2001 12:37 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Small series Cisco router that supports NAT inFast Switching: [7:20510] Hi I would like if somebody can recommend a Cisco small series router that supports NAT in Fast Switching (both at the same time). I was recommended a 1720 series but I read the specifications and I do not see anything like that on it.
