George,
I am not of Fan of fans either but at least put a fan that will hold
up in adverse environments. I have added 6" AC fans in our cabinets to
pull the heat away from the router.
It has helped out a bunch in the summer months. All of our cabinets are
19" rack mount about 3' tall. A few sites I am getting ready to move to
the CCR just so I dont have to
worry about cpu or memory for a while.
Not sure if the new fans attract wasps or detour them yet though. I hate
the fat red juicy ones they fricken hurt:)

If I believe the throughput test results at routerboard.com, the
CRS125 and 2011 (same CPU) should be very similar if not slightly
better than the 493G. Like Mike Hammett mentioned (almost as much as
SFPs :), the issue going foward with the 493s is the L2 MTU
limitation. I hate the split 10/100 and gigabit on the 2011 and we're
always adding more radios at medium sized sites so the more ports (and
all gigabit) that the CRS offers is attractive. I'm kinda thinking of
just going to the CRS as a replacement for the 493G instead of adding
a managed switch. I've put a little over 200Mbps through the 493G's
(with a handful of queues and firewall rules, nothing major) and they
still had a bit of room left, but I'm just not sure if the CRS can
handle that. It looks like it will.. on paper. The most I've ever been
able to get out of a 493G is about 70k PPS and 245Mbps of real live
traffic. I'm also slightly worried about MT shit-canning the 493
series too. Hell, if I could fit an 1100AHx2 at all of the sites, I'd
just use those, but they have fans that like to stop working. Just had
another one last night, had to power-cycle it to get the fans going
again.
Has anyone else done this already? Does the CRS125 suck as a router,
compared to the 493G anyway?
