[c-nsp] 10G Routing/Forwarding

[Caillin Bathern]

Take a look at the 3750X with the 2*10GE expansion module if you just
need simple routing.

Hi,

a customer of ours has inquired about a 10G-capable device to be used as
sort of a "router on a stick" in their LAN. They currently still use a
Novell Netware VM to do the L3 forwarding between multiple subnets, and
would like to replace this with some piece of hardware instead.

I've been looking around at different $C devices that might be able to
do this at a decent price-point, and have come up with the ME3600X ...
at a list price of approx. 12k$ (switch plus 10G license) this seems one
of the more affordable 10G-capable devices from Cisco. Cisco Presales
has confirmed that it will do 44Gbit/s both L2 and L3 ...

Are there any other device in that price range that could be used for
this? 1-2 10GE ports and L3 capable of course ... dynamic routes aren't
really necessary, neither are ACL etc ...

Thanks, Garry
