What was wrong with Juniper's J-Series?  The J2320, at least on the 
surface, seems to do everything you need and clocks in at 
$1700ish(+another $1500 for the extra ports).

Subject:        [lopsa-discuss] What happened to basic routers?
Sent by:        [email protected]



Hello list,

We've been trying for days to come up with a router for what we feel is a 
rather simple set of requirements, to route traffic between (currently) 
three networks. I'm trying to find a router or a layer 3 switch that meets 
these basic requirements and can find nothing south of $5000 that fits the 
bill. We have a simple set of requirements:

- 200Mbps / 200k packets per second / 500 new connections per second 
routing capacity
- Must support VRRP
- Should support ACL's
- 6/8 routed ethernet ports.

We've looked extensively at all of HP's Cisco's, and Juniper's 
offerings... it seems that everything in the $2500 neighbourhood is 
designed as CPE equipment to be installed by ISPs. Everything that does 
work for us also has an extensive feature set which we don't need. Even 
ACL's are optional. I find it very difficult to believe that there is no 
product available from any vendor that meets these requirement, so I'm 
putting the question out to the community. Does anyone on this list know 
of a router/layer 3 switch that would fit the requirements described 
above, for less than $4000/$5000?
