You can squeeze by with 512MB, but 1GB of ram would be better. A 7204VXR with 1GB of ram will work fine. You can also squeeze by with a 2951 ---- Matthew Huff | One Manhattanville Rd OTA Management LLC | Purchase, NY 10577 http://www.ox.com | Phone: 914-460-4039 aim: matthewbhuff | Fax: 914-460-4139
-----Original Message----- From: James Smallacombe [mailto:up () 3 am] Sent: Thursday, February 11, 2010 1:53 PM To: nanog () nanog org Subject: Latest Cisco for small dual homed ASN I have a customer that is looking at using BGP for their network; one connection over a few bonded T1s, the other over a Comcast Enterprise connection (which supposedly will do BGP now). When I was dual homed a few years ago, a 7204VXR with 256MB was more than adequate. With routing tables growing the way they are, what's a good Cisco based solution on the lower end of the price spectrum that should handle this fine for a few years? Somebody else is suggesting a Vyatta (Linux based) solution, which makes me a little nervous. Then again, Linux has improved dramatically from a security and stability P.O.V, so maybe it's worth a look if there's no hard drive involved. TIA, James Smallacombe PlantageNet, Inc.
