I think Im just going to try my luck at a 2u pentium II bare metal with
some nice old nic cards and run native linux os for routing LOL :)
This should be fun

e7-2
e7 is the platform, the -2 is how many cards it holds. It's a 1U box.
There's also the e7-20 which is a big like 8u or something.
e7 holds cards.
The cards are AE ports (like 12 or 16?) or GPON4/GPON8 which hold 4/8
GPON plugs (look like SFP but I don't think they're technically SFP).
They also have SFP+ and QSFP to talk to the rest of the network, like
your upstream 10G internet pipe.

As someone who is Calix-stupid, can you tell me the E7-2 is doing
for you?

I'm 12 months into running a Calix e7-2 with Mikrotik with no
problems. Using Powercode to manage it.
DHCP and NAT are something so damn simple I can't imagine why
you'd do Juniper for those. Be way cheaper to run a Pi.
Chuck I'd comfortably say you'll be fine with rb4011 or CCR
passing traffic as I'm doing it. Just like anything else, you
only hear about the complaints.

With that list of specs I would be comfortable using a Tik
CCR. If you want to start doing multiple upstream with
full tables BGP I would go to Juniper. We just finally
switched our edge routing to Juniper and it really should
have been a couple years ago.

Router(s) feeding Calix E7-20
DHCP
DNS
What else do I need?
Router based NAT or server based NAT?
Server based router?
Like to keep it simple but fully redundant.
(All the infrastructure, DC, building, Generator, hvac
etc etc is easy, not asking about any of that).
A pair of routers for redundancy. I was just going to
call Dennis and say “fix me up” but I am a bit gun shy
about MT anymore. Thinking Juniper but nobody here
has much experience with programing edge/core routing
irrespective of the brand of router.
Anyone want to consult on this and do our router setup?
