[c-nsp] 10G Routing/Forwarding

[Chuck Church]

A used 3560E-24TD would probably work fine.

Subject: [c-nsp] 10G Routing/Forwarding

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
