[c-nsp] 2600XM usability?
Hi all, I have a new network connecting to me that I will be shoving down some routes to them via a 5Mb metro-ethernet. They have a 2621XM. It will be doing BGP, with maybe a route table of 86K routes (mine plus their other provider, which I think is being delivered by a 2xT1 mlppp). I think it's the 128D/32F model. Not sure of the IOS as of yet. Does anyone have any real-world usability with this platform? Will this box hold up to 8Mb of traffic, with QoS/ACL and BGP with this number of routes? Thanks, -graham ___ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
Re: [c-nsp] 2600XM usability?
Hi Graham, Of course YMMV, however I just replaced a 2691XM that was doing DMVPN duties running EIGRP (~350 routes). The unit was equiped with a cypto card and max throughput was around 10Mbps. At peak traffic times the CPU would hit 65/70% and this is without running QoS. So, from my perspective the 2621XM doesn't have enough juice to do what you want it to do.

Re: [c-nsp] 2600XM usability?
I appreciate the reply Matthew. Yikes, yeah - I don't think that'll work. Any suggestions for something on the used market that will suffice? Maybe I should look for a 3640 or something.

Hi Graham, I think a 2821 with enough memory would do the trick. Even new, the ones without the AIM module are fairly inexpensive. -mtw -Original Message- From: Graham Wooden [mailto:gra...@g-rock.net] Sent: Monday, October 19, 2009 5:08 PM To: Matthew White; cisco-nsp Subject: Re: [c-nsp] 2600XM usability?
