[AusNOG] Cisco 7200 routers for sale

[Khoo, Andrew]

One redeeming thing about Mikrotiks is very easy to deploy EoIP (at a very very low price).

This has helped me out of a few sticky situations.

The other redeeming thing is extremely low DC suck for remote non-grid deploys.

But i concur with Skeeve's comment re "Talented Amateur equipment" :)

Sorry, and I realise it will probably be an unpopular thing to say... but I do NOT rate anything from Mikrotik in the enterprise grade.

Sure the features aren't bad, and they are good for certain things... like non-critical deployments, but I see them in the same class as Netgear, Dlink or Linksys... Talented Amateur equipment, not professional kit.

Are you talking for core/edge routing or for DSL Aggregation?

Seems a popular solution of the moment is to move to MikroTik routers for core routing, specifically the RB1100AHx2, or perhaps their 'Cloud' router that is newer. Since they are so cheap, it is not hard to purchase multiple and have them in a load balanced/fail over situation.

In terms of DSL Aggregation, I believe the upgrade path in the Cisco world from a 7200/7300 would be to the ASR 1000 routers. I could well be wrong though.

Dear Ausnog

Our four VXR's have been collecting dust for years now... they were a good router but with today's throughput the G2 just doesn't cut it anymore being software based / none asic solution...

So what hardware did everyone upgraded to ?  - We ended up migrating to the Brocade MLXe X series and haven't looked back (Love their products - Plug for Brocade)!
