<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>As long as you have enough free interfaces
to handle the T-1s you should be fine -- conditionally.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Generally the issue is the amount of RAM
needed to do routing long before CPU power. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you are doing static routing you should
be more than fine...you could probably have 8 or more T-1s without running low
on CPU resources. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you were doing dynamic routing the CPU
still may not be getting hammered, again the RAM would be the limiting
factor. (Dynamic routing meaning RIP, OSPF, BGP, etc. The more
complex the routing tables, the more CPU power you need)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've successfully run 2 T-1s with a 'light'
BGP load with 64MB RAM before (in a staging environment), and it barely
scratched the CPU, where the RAM was nearly fully utilized.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Out of curiosity, how much RAM does the
unit have? What type of interfaces will you be terminating
with?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Will any of the T-1s be bonded/multiplexed
or channelized?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Another factor to consider if you don't
have the interfaces purchased: not all T-1 interfaces work with all levels of
firmware. I ran into an issue with a newer WIC and an older firmware--it
wouldn't even detect it!</FONT></DIV>

<P><FONT size=2>I'm wondering if it's possible to terminate 4 T-1s in a Cisco
2651<BR>router. Both the WIC slots are open in this router, so my question
is<BR>more about whether or not the processor of the 2651 will handle
it.<BR><BR>Thanks-<BR>Erik<BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>TCLUG
