RE: Force10 E Series at the edge?

Re: Force10 E Series at the edge?

Brent, While the E300 can probably get your job done for more flexibility and growth I would personally steer you towards the E600 (or E600i now). It is slightly outside of your RU requirement coming in at 16 RU but it fits the bill otherwise. The main reasons I make this suggestion is due to

Re: Force10 E Series at the edge?

Brent, Your options include, for smaller boxes: - Brocade CER series, but make sure you the -RT versions due to RAM (haven't tried, though) - Juniper MX (MX80 is working well for us) - Cisco ASR1006 (heard a lot about BGP price issues) But for 300mb/sec, what not OpenBSD + Quagga? Tom -

Re: Force10 E Series at the edge?

I was very happy with the E300 as a data center core switch handling multiple full feeds (around 15) with about 10x the traffic you are talking about. The only problem I had was that Force10 didn't have a useful (basically forklift) upgrade to get more IPv4 prefixes, and the more I talked to th

FW: Force10 E Series at the edge?

Is anyone running an E300 Series Chassis at the internet edge with multiple Full BGP feeds? 95th percent would be about 300 meg of traffic. BGP session count would be between 2 and 4 Peers. 6k internal Prefix count as it stands right now. Alternative are welcome. Thought about the ASR1006 but I
