[c-nsp] 2600XM usability?

[Matthew White]

Hi Graham,

Of course YMMV, however I just replaced a 2691XM that was doing DMVPN duties running EIGRP (~350 routes). The unit was equiped with a cypto card and max throughput was around 10Mbps.

At peak traffic times the CPU would hit 65/70% and this is without running QoS. So, from my perspective the 2621XM doesn't have enough juice to do what you want it to do.

Hope this helps,

Hi all,

I have a new network connecting to me that I will be shoving down some
routes to them via a 5Mb metro-ethernet. They have a 2621XM.  It will be
doing BGP, with maybe a route table of 86K routes (mine plus their other
provider, which I think is being delivered by a 2xT1 mlppp). I think it's
the 128D/32F model. Not sure of the IOS as of yet.

Does anyone have any real-world usability with this platform?  Will this box
hold up to 8Mb of traffic, with QoS/ACL and BGP with this number of routes?

Thanks,

-graham
