I'm surprised that nobody at all has anything like a 12000 running their DSL line

Yeah, i think the 2651 will handle my connection since i went back to cable from dual OC3s.... lol.
The 2651 will be an improvement over my linksys wrt-54g.. i'd hope.
As far as running another computer for DHCP.. thats a senseless waste of electricity.
Also, thanks for the link.
I may try and set this up again tonightFantastic. The project manager is inspired.

lol its a old router? Are you thinking of a 25** series? If it runs 12.4, i'd say it'll do what i need it to do.elegua wrote:Hi Darthn3ss,
Why don't you use a PC to run DHCP ??, the 2651 is a old router and very slow so, using extra services on it will not be a good idea, just add few ACLs and a Firewall and you are ready to go, if you need help just ask.
Hope this help.
also, DHCP isn't my problem. The problem is that i haven't figured out how to get my hosts to get out onto the internet.
Hi,
Can you post here your router and switch config?, -

Hmm... Do I upgrade my 1841 to something with a faster CPU so I can run IOS IPS or do I just buy a ASA5505...

Yeah. Thats what I'll probably do. Now which ASA hmmm...gojericho0 wrote:Buy the ASA, then you get the best of both worlds
Just for fun I just tried loading the latest IOS IPS signatures into my 1841 and enabled with no filtering. My download speed dropped from 4mbps to 1mbps -

because the 2600 isn't raelly fast enough to handle everything, i'll probably just set up ipcop again.Fantastic. The project manager is inspired.

Let me know what you think of it. I'm thinking about getting one as well so my 871W isn't bogged down -

I didn't know that the basic ASA can't do IPS at all. You need to get the AIP-SSM to get that. Another thing to buy ><gojericho0 wrote:Let me know what you think of it. I'm thinking about getting one as well so my 871W isn't bogged down -

I realized how much the 2600's sucked the first time I set one up in router-on-a-stick and then tried to move files from one box to another (of course they were on different subnets). I was monitoring the CPU usage, and just moving something from one vlan to the other at wire speed maxed it out. If I was trying to move a few gigs, it was bad enough that it stopped responding to snmp polls as well.
After that, I said screw this and moved to 3640's which, while not much better, *are* better. -

Thats because they're not rated to do what you wanted. The "smallest" router that can handle FE is a 2851. Router performance datasheet. The 1841 is rated for 38.40Mbps when using CEF and nothing else on. Cisco say that its designed to handle a T1/E1 with features actually enabled.Forsaken_GA wrote:I realized how much the 2600's sucked the first time I set one up in router-on-a-stick and then tried to move files from one box to another (of course they were on different subnets).

Oh, I know, the 2600's are access routers and not intended to do anything heavy. That's why I now have them setup as such, connecting to a 3640. All 'public' traffic goes over them and not much else. Now when I need to move files between local computers, it's done through a 3550 on the backend hehe
