Hi all. I was wondering if anyone has practical experience with the 800 series as ipsec devices. I'm particularly interested in field-measured throughput and delay stats, but i'd settle for anecdotal evidence as well. FWIW, I just got a few in and I'm underwhelmed... Granted, I didn't order them to spec, but they shipped with 4MB DRAM and 8MB Flash. Guess how many images run in 4MB...
Then when I went to bump the image up (after upping the RAM), the stupid tftp transfer kept timing out half way through. A little etherealing showed that the device stopped responding to ARP requests during the transfer (which had to be done from ROM due to limited flash space and the fact that you can't delete the running IOS from flash). I finally had to add static arp entries to my tftp server. Don't ask me why the server felt the need to re-arp after 5 seconds, either. :-) Anyhow, thanks in advance. -sd Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=63547&t=63547 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
