Selecting a right router

atrenta_india · ‎01-19-2009

I hav a requireent where we have two ISP to terminate our WAN link, plus I also neeed to connect 8 customers thru IPsec VPN tunnel. SO bascially I have to terminate 10 routable ports and add rotuing as per requirement.

So please suggest the right router model which will suffice this requirement.

Need the following info;

1. Interface types of those 10 ports (i.e. Serial, Ethernet, ATM, etc.).

2. Routing protocol needed (i.e. BGP, OSPF, RIP, EIGRP, etc.)

3. Expected throughput

4. Expected future expansion (i.e. throughput, interface number/type)

5. Already have a budget? How much?

Depneds on ur WAN links, but I would say a 2811 and up with the correct feature set and number of interfaces would be fine.
