Router spec [7:15471]
I'm after a rough spec for a router, so far all I know is that it will need to support 13 serial interfaces of approx 2mb each, with a small number of FE ports. I know it's not much info' but suggestions will probably narrow down the research cheers Pat Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7i=15471t=15471 -- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Router spec [7:15471]
if you don't have customer access to CCO, you can use the public configuration tool at http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/front.x/newConfig/config_root.pl for starters. 13 serial - want to run external CSU's, or save yourself some trouble by using integrated serial/CSU's? how many is a small number of FE ports? I ask because the 72xx platform is picky about the number of high speed ports it will support. also, depending upon your design requirements, have you looked into running ATM at the core and frame at your remotes? 13 frame circuits terminating to a single ATM or ATM IMA can be very cost effective. without knowing more, I would guess you should start with a 7206 and see if you can get enough port density there. the next step up is a 7505.

Patrick, Not knowing requirements and budget numbers. I would point you in the direction of the 7200 and 7500 series routers.

Re: Router spec [7:15471]
Yes it's a pretty bad spec' I know, I'm just working on a request from a friend. I won't get into a discussion about the type of links but I agree with your thinking of a 7K router. I've access to the CCO, but wanted to see what suggestions everyone has as I wasn't sure at what point the number of serial links would be to much for the throughput of the 7k. Initially a 3662 was mentioned but I don't think that can handle the ports never mind the throughput. A bit more reading and spec' is required I think cheers Chuck Larrieu wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... if you don't have customer access to CCO, you can use the public configuration tool at http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/front.x/newConfig/config_root.pl for starters. 13 serial - want to run external CSU's, or save yourself some trouble by using integrated serial/CSU's? how many is a small number of FE ports?

RE: Router spec [7:15471]
I assumed the serials were t1 without looking at this more. If they're t1 or e1, you can get 8 interface per card setup no problem.

RE: Router spec [7:15471]
Yeah I would lean towards a 7200 also. If you need to accept full internet routes as part of a bgp process on it, you may want to be sure you go with a vxr, since Cisco officially doesn't support more than 128 megs on the non vxr 7200s. The 7204 specifically will take 4 cards, you can use the pa-mc-8t1, for 8 t1s per card, and the pa-fe-tx for fast ethernet. Additionally, a controller card for it can contain FE. If you're gonna get a new router, you may wanna go with a Cisco partner and consult with them in more detail about what you need.

Re: Router spec [7:15471]
It also depends on what you are going to use the serial connections for if they are going to be t1s then I would recommend a PA-MC-T3. That is a multichannel T3 card that can be broken down into 28 individual T1's or any combo there of. Of course PA puts you somewhere in the 7xxx range. If you are going to start adding FE's then you want a 75xx range. The FEs are sweet and they have a way of adding themselves that would be a PA-FE-TX or PA-2FEISL-TX. If you need the serial for frame I would recommend PA-4T+ spread over 2 VIP2-50's or VIP4-50's. If you are going to use the FE's for alot of traffic, multicasting and the such looks like you should grab a 7507. Might as well go for the RSP2 unless you want to go for the RSP4+. Review 1 7507 1 RSP4+ 3 VIP4-50's 4 PA-4T+'S 2 PA-FE-TX/FX's that leaves two open slots for frame relay config 1 7505 1 RSP2 2 VIP2-50 1 PA-MC-T3 2 PA-FE-TX/FX's that leaves two open slots and one open port adapter slot next to the MC for T1 config I did not get into memory but go middle of the road. might as well throw in a CON-SNT-PKGxx and dont forget power, either PWR/7-DC or PWR/7-AC or and remember with the PWR/7-AC the power cord is always free.
