bgp [7:13786]
What is the recommended router if I wanted to run bgp on my dual internet connection. I currently have a 2651 and will be upgrading it to 128MB but am not sure if that's enough to run bgp considering the size of the bgp routing table.

I would run a 3600 with a minimum of 256MB. 3620 looks good. You could try the 2600 with 128MB, but long term the 3620 would be better.

Re: bgp [7:13786]
Are you planning on accepting full routes from both providers? Have you considered only accepting customer routes from them? I'm not sure, but I think 128MB would handle the full table from two providers, but it may not be necessary depending on what you're trying to accomplish. In our case, I accept customer routes only from two providers which amounts to about 35,000 routes from one and 6000 from the other. I then tweaked some static default routes to help even things out a bit. This is all on a 3640 with 128MB of DRAM and I've got *plenty* of room left. As far as processing goes you should be fine. This 3640 is probably overkill. It hardly knows it's turned on! :-) HTH, John SH Wesson 7/25/01 11:57:06 AM What is the recommended router if I wanted to run bgp on my dual internet connection.

I suggest you actually do some research before making product recommendations in the future. The 2651 is as fast as the 3620, comes with more slots, comes with two built-in fast ethernet ports, can handle a maximum of 128M RAM. The 3620 doesn't have any built in ports, can only handle a maximum of 64M RAM, and the cost of a 3620 plus ethernet ports is considerably more then the cost of a 265x. Between the two, the 265x is obviously a much better deal. At this point, I'm not sure there is any reason for the 3620 to even exist. To get 256M of RAM, you need to go to a 3660, which greatly increases your cost. }-- End of excerpt from Bill Carter Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7i=13814t=13786 -- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
