Hi,

My company using CISCO 1603 Router
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/routers/ps214/ps218/
provided by ISP for internet access.

Question: Is it possible use leaf to replace all the function for that
router?

I've been reading the responses in this thread. While I don't want to be a wet blanket or otherwise discourage use of LEAF routers, someone should note that Cisco routers do a lot of things, and few (none?) of us here are truly expert in their use.


It is unlikely that a LEAF router can replace "all the function" of the 1603. It is likely, though, that a LEAF router can replace the functionality that you actually use ... at least if the interface issue is addressed successfully. But to confirm that, you really do have to describe your setup in more detail.

And please do understand that the interface issue that has been raised is a big deal. ISDN support in Linux, LEAF included, is particularly weak, and support for direct connections to DS1 or similar service isn't great (in particular, the hardware is expensive). LEAF is at its best when its external connection uses a NIC to connect to some external hardware, or when it handles a standard dial-up connection.

For more on this, you might want to tell us what interface your external connection now uses, and if you plan to change that as part of the contemplated change of router. Then you might get some feedback from one of the (relatively few, I think) people here who use whatever external connection you have, feedback that will let you make a realistic judgment about the practicailty of the swap (including an estimation of its cost).
