Use E-bay. 1) Cisco 4700 or Cisco 4500 on EBAY, with 2FE card, is the cheapesr solution: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3055979445&category=28036 + http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3055635959&category=28036 or http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3055680837&category=28036 + some memory (it uses standard memory with parity). May be, 4000M with 2 NP-1FE can work, but 4000 is _very_ old (it use Motorola, 4500 and 4700 uses MIPS) and slow, and very far _out of life_. 4500 is the cheapest case, of course. 2) Cisco 3620 +_ this module: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3055171886&category=28035 for example http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3055145110&category=51202 3) Cisco 3640: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3055678338&category=51203 4) Cisco 2621 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3055489861&category=11185 Other choice is to have 1 FE and use switch with ISL trunk. It is veery unlikely that you need full 2xFE interface. >From technical point of view (if not think about a price), 3550 is the best solution, of course: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3056042558&category=28040 The best by price / features is 3620 or 3640 - it uses standard memory, can b expanded, easy to find modules, modules are compatible with new routers. The worst think you can do is go io Cisco and purchase a new box -:) - prices are crazy high (2 FE roputer shpuld not cost mopre than 500$). ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Cc: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, November 02, 2003 2:47 PM Subject: Re: short question > > > I have a question.
