At a recent Cisco seminar aimed at corporate customers, Cisco was specifying the 7500 be used in all the following situations:
1. connecting a single mainframe computer to the campus backbone 2. connecting a large office to the campus backbone 3. connecting a remote office over frame relay at 512 kbs to the campus backbone. But do not despair, if you are running at 256kb, you can drop back to a 7200.
#3 implies we are over driving our 7500s. If the 7500 is intended to handle a single serial line at 512kb, no wonder it seems to get overloaded on the backbone.
Wonder what they would recommend for a DS1 or a DS3, then. BFR, anyone?

What was the title of the seminar you were attending and who was the speaker? Was this something on a slide or just something that the speaker said? #1 is true since the CIP (Channel Interface Processor) only plugs into a 7000/7500 class box. (unless of course you are using some other channel attached device and connecting the router via token ring or serial lines). We'll try to sort out which mkting person was out running amok and fix the presentation (and most likely the speaker). thanks, dave

The seminar was called "Building a Global Corporate Intranet". As far as I can tell this same seminar is on the road being presented all over the country. The reference to the 7500 routers is on the slides. To the best of my recollection, the speaker never refered to the routers by model number. I attended the presentation at Tyson's Corner. There were about 400 persons at the seminar. The publication number of the handout containing the slides is: 0563_02F7 / 843601-01 Your welcome, Robert Laughlin ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- DataXchange sales: 800-863-1550 http://www.dx.net Network Operations Center: 703-903-7412 -or- 888-903-7412 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks for the info, Robert. And now back to your irregularly scheduled unrelated threads.... dave At 18:12 -0000 3/5/97, Robert Laughlin wrote:

Sadly the amount of traffic saying "this isnt on topic" is greater than the amount of traffic caused by the thread. Even more sadly, if you discuss routers on the firewall list.. you get another group of blinkered "firewall experts" who whine about it not being on topic. The problem comes when you have a design that requires you to tread the fine line between buying a router with firewalling capabilities and buying a firewall with routing capabilities. The router gurus refer you to a security expert.... The security expert says "whats BGP ? OSPF?... I dont deal with layer 3" Motto: a blinkered view will only portray a narrow picture. *sigh* Glynn Stanton
