Best choice to build a frame relay switch.

mikem1000

I just picked up a NM-8a/s module to build a frame relay switch with. I have the following units with NM slots in them and wanted some feedback as to which one would be the best choice for the task.

1. Cisco 3620 64D/8F IOS 12.2
2. Cisco 2611 64D/16F IOS 12.3
3. Cisco 2621 32D/8F IOS 12.0T

I'm leaning towards using the 3620 in case my lab expands to the point of needing another NM-8a/s.

Thanks.

I'm doing the same, picked up 2x nm8a/s (thanks to sir_samon) , a nm4t and a nm4a/s.

I'm using a 2611xm for one frame switch and either a 3640 or 3660 for the other.

If you end up needing to add more ports, you can always connect a pair of routers (or more if you're adventurous) to create one big FR switch out of the two routers.

Can someone confirm when it's better to pick a 3640 over 2610xm/2620xm to be used for frame relay use?

I read that both support 12.4 / SDM, but can't decide which one to pick.
