So would a Juniper SRX240 be comparable to a Cisco 7301 performance-wise?

Re: [AFMUG] Juniper / Cisco GE Recommendations
I see a lot of these in the DC version and they appear to be cheaper than AC. I could go that route, but given my current setup AC would be easier. Also, I see this in the throughput specs: Process - PPS:79,000 Mbps:40.448 Fast/CEF PPS:1,018,000 Mbps:521.22 Are these just very conservative or does this look about right?

Maybe my wording was confusing. The Cisco Nexus switch is at the OTHER end of the link. The CCR is at my end. I'm trying (unsuccessfully) to link up to it via dark fiber. We did some testing and the problem wound up having something to do with the Mikrotik. Therefore I'm looking for an alternative. -Jason On Fri, Feb 20, 2015 at 2:03 PM, Jeremy jeremysmi...@gmail.com wrote: He asked for a replacement for a Cisco Nexus SWITCH.

I'm having some difficulty getting a Mikrotik CCR to link up correctly to a Cisco Nexus switch via SFP.

Any recommendations? Thanks. -Jason

he said "edge router" not "L3 capable switch"... the only sort of thing that resembles a switch and is a real edge router (enough RAM to take full tables, etc) is the ME3600X or similar, which is .

Re: [AFMUG] Juniper / Cisco GE Recommendations
If you have the space and power/heat budget for it, a 6503E with dual sup32 and a 16-port WS-X6516 GBIC blade can be built for under $1200-1400, giving you 32 ports of modular gigE... choose AC or DC power. The AC power 2700W power supplies and PEMs (power entry modules) are still somewhat expensive in the resale market. I have put 6503E on plywood backboards in condo MDFs using decent 4U rackmount brackets. On 2/20/15 8:07 PM, Jason McKemie wrote: Maybe my wording was confusing. The Cisco Nexus switch is at the OTHER end of the link. The CCR is at my end. I'm trying (unsuccessfully) to link up to it via dark fiber. We did some testing and the problem wound up having something to do with the Mikrotik.
