I use a net4801 that handles 20mbps without traffic shaping, so it should be fine for you. Mine is setup with 2 physical interfaces, one of which is broken up into a large amount of vlan interfaces. So, I think you will be fine with yours doing 4. -= Mark Shumate -= InfoWest -= Business Service Manager -= phone: 435-674-0165 x1023 (local) -= phone: 866-INFOWEST x1023 (long distance) -= email: marks at infowest dot com -----Original Message----- From: Erik Anderson [mailto:erikerik at gmail dot com] Sent: Thursday, November 03, 2005 09:54 To: m0n0wall Subject: [m0n0wall] m0n0 replacing a Cisco Catalyst 2650? Greetings all - we're currently using a cisco catalyst 2650 router at work. It's doing NAT, a few port forwards, SPI...pretty standard stuff and nothing overly complex. I've looked through the 2650's config file and have determined that m0n0wall would be able to easily duplicate the functionality. My one question is dealing with bandwidth. We have 10 Mbit full-duplex internet service, but we rarely hit even half of that. Average load is about 1 Mbit, spiking a few times a day up to 5 Mbit. I'm proposing replacing the cisco router w/ a Soekris net4801 with the lan1641 addon card. Do you think this combination would have any issues handling the load? At this point, we'd only be using four interfaces (WAN, LAN, DMZ, and wireless). Please forgive me if I haven't provided enough information here - I know this question is quite subjective. Thanks! -Erik P.S. In case you're wondering my main reason for wanting to replace the cisco router is that it currently only has two interfaces, making it impossible to have a "real" DMZ. For much less than what it would cost to get another interface for the cisco, we can purchase the soekris hardware and have several more interfaces available to us. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: m0n0wall dash unsubscribe at lists dot m0n0 dot ch For additional commands, e-mail: m0n0wall dash help at lists dot m0n0 dot ch |
