Hi Sergio,

You said you have the 1700 series router but the topology which you have given me doesn't include them.

I am not sure if you wanted to ask what swith model you should be able to go for ?

ok excuse me for my english

now i have a cisco 1700 but i have intention to change it with two firewall (or router) for have high reliability

what i can replace it with ??

Hi Sergio,

You can replace the 1700 Series router with any of the 2800 router.

They are capable of doing GLBP and that is what we need instead of HSRP but they will be able to support HSRP as well when you need.

HTH
