Hi Tony,
BGP is supported on the 2621. However you usually need more reasons (or
rather, requirements) than just multihoming to want BGP. You should have
some additional organizational network prerequisites as another poster
mentioned...and you should also have applied for your ASN. Even if you
do have all of these, it's recommended as much as possible for small
organizations to avoid this so as to keep the global routing table low
especially if your organization isn't that big.
Why not try load-sharing instead on both interfaces? Try the following
on your WAN connections.
ip load-sharing per-packet
Granted, I haven't tried that on two different serial connection from
different ISPs yet. I'd be interested to know how it goes. I think I
posted here before on how to get something similar on doing that on a
linux box with ethernet nics.
Which brings us to using a linux box for WAN connections....
About the DTE V.35 cable...what is the connection on the other end? The
other end of the V.35 that is? If it's a DB-60...I believe there are
actually PCI cards for that, and I know there are models supported by
the linux kernel. I'm not sure if there are DTE cables with smartserial
connectors that are supported by PCI cards though.
If you wish to go with the linux box route....you may wish to ask the
ASTI guys about that. They do funky stuff, so I wouldn't be surprised if
they experimented with that before.

Mga peeps,
Medyo OT ... Tanong ko lang po ... may plan po kami na mag-BGP using
Cisco router.
Internet connections to two different ISPs - tapos connected sila sa isa
Cisco router, tapos mag BGP para kung may problem sa isa link -
halimbawa mag-down - ang gagamitin yung isa link. Puwede di ba? Ano po
ba pede Cisco router dito? Cisco 2621 pede na po ba?
or
Nabasa ko po yung zebra or kung ano pa man sa Linux puwede din daw ...
may nakagawa na ba nito? Using Linux with zebra tapos connected sa two
different ISP ... ano po ba requirements? ano specs sa machine? paano
kabit yung v35 na galing modem sa Linux box?
Salamat,
trabz
