Does this 2851 can give lots of RAM memory? How about flash?

Hi,

I am not sure on whether the 2851 below comes with 256MB or 1GB of RAM? That

WAAS module has 1GB, but is that considered somehow a complement to RAM memory?

I want to make sure I will order a router robust and which can sustant IOS

versions for year to come.

Please suggest the amount of RAM and flash memory people are ordering

to make sure I buy a scalable router.

The router comes with 256MB Ram and 64MB Flash.

The WAAS is a WAN optimization and application accelerator http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6474/products_data_sheet0900aecd8058218c.html

Are you buying a 2851 for just 1 T1 link ?

Seems excessive ...

Initially T1 MPLS. Later I could put DS-3 there.

If you plan to put a DS3 at a later stage i would suggest looking into the 3800 series instead of the 2800.

The 2800 series do not support full rate T3/E3 but only subrate

I wouldn'be too worried about T3 performances on a 2851. Attaching here the performance sheet that Narayan has previously posted.

Go over the numbers and use common sense. Remember that certain tables have a 'sales sense' while technical analysis and experience can reveal otherwise.

For example we learn that a 2851 is rated for 220 Kpps, while a 3660 only 120. Still, in the NM-T3/E3 datasheet, the T3 module is "full rate" for the 3660 while only "sub-rate" for the 2800 series that is strangely grouped together, while we know that each model has different performances.

And yes, I've been buying and selling Cisco router for a looong time :)
