Router for Channelized DS3.

mark.jenks · ‎08-04-2008

Right now, I have 2 3662's with channelized T1 cards in them, running about 22 half T1's to the branch offices. I'm looking for a replacement router that can do Channelized DS3, to grow these offices to full T1's. I was looking at the 2851, but should I be looking higher at the 7300's?

Hello Mark,

I don't see a channelized DS3 module not even for C3845

see

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/routers/ps5855/product_data_sheet0900aecd8016a8e8.html

I would go for a C7204VXR that can install channelized Ds3 port-adapter

Use the following as a reference

Hope to help

I thought the 7200 was EOL soon?

What about the 7304?

Hello Mark,

I think it is EOL a 7206VXR with NPE 400 or less processor engine.

There are NPE-G1 and NPE-G2 processor engines and they are used, we have just bought two.

C7304 can be OK I haven't used it but I think it shares the PAs with 7200 so can be fine

Hope to help
