However, if you google "mx204 price" the first hit wants very much to sell you one for <$11,000. Caveat emptor and YMMV.
Jared Not all MX204's are created equal, however. For edge applications, many folks will want to go with the -IR model, and the -R model is the fully-unrestricted one. These will cost substantively more than the base model which has rib, fib, and vrf limitations enforced. True enough. I was, however, under the impression you could upgrade the license at a later date.
