Hi Arie,
For Cisco platforms, you should look at the 7301 (which is a 7200 NPE-G1
in 1RU form factor). It has a special IOS version (not sure which) that
should be able to perfrom very well for you because it uses both CPU's
on the 7301 for LAC functionality (LNS should be out soon as well BTW).
We currently use a 7301 with a PA-A3 as an LNS which we're happy with.
The LNS side of things we have been doing for a while, just this is a new
area for me in doing the tunnel forwarding to other LNS (by setting up
various vpdn with accept-dialout as opposed to accept-dialin for the LNS
type situation with a domain to mathc and vpdn search-order domain)
You could put 1 PA in this router, but I would put the ATM links on
another box, for easier aggregation (we used to do it with a 6500/7600
using FlexWan cards). In this way you are not loosing an ATM link if a
specific router goes down
Hmm.. I'd be interested in getting more detail on this. I've never really
had the oppertuity/ need to look at those ranges, and haven't really thought
about them as part of the solution.
Well, their would be in the initial 2 physical circuits, and 2 PVC's per
circuit (so 4 PVC's in total), and should be go with the 7200 option, I
wouldn't put both links into 1, I'd use 2 x 7200
As opposed to 7200, I guess I could use 7301's actually.
Any other thoughts much appreciated.
Cheers,
Steve
