Is there any crypto requirement? Half the customers I deal with usually assume IPSec when mentioning 'VPN', which is nice since all those routers you mentioned support it in hardware, even the 1841. Plus I believe that in 12.4, you can perform most QoS functions on the traffic you're encrypting. Might not need MPLS, or at least maybe not tagging, but rather just separate VRFs.

I have been scanning the Cisco feature navigator this morning to figure out what levels of hardware support MPLS - it's on our roadmap for this year and going to happen sooner than later... When using the feature navigator it states that Cisco 2821, 3825, 3845 series supports MPLS and IPV6 (another consideration in this process). Is this true and is there anything in the MPLS family that these routers don't support? My reason for asking is that we're working with a customer right now that wants a private VPN between several locations plus public Internet access - MPLS would work nice for this requirement and with VOIP coming into play possible assist further... this customer already has some 1811's (which we would replace it needed) and 2821's which all come back to 6500 and 7206's on our side.... Thoughts? ;) Thanks very much, Paul _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/ _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
