Cisco 7206

[djessi]

Hi,
I would like to design an ISP configuration with
one Cisco 7206 at the entry to load balance the 2 internet sources and another Cisco 7206 connected internaly to a Cisco catalyst 3750G-24TS (linking the bandwidth manager and the servers) and externaly connected to GPRS/EDGE and WLL networks. Do you think that this configuration will work ?
Thanks for help

What kind of WAN circuits do you have coming in? What kind of company is this, an 24/7 E-commerce? Have you considered reduncancy (hardware) into your design? Why do want to have a router in anything except the core layer, especially since the 3750 is a layer-3 switch? Since 7206's only have one powersupply, I'd suggest setting up a 7206 for each WAN circuit.. Run something like HSRP or GLBP...

7206's can have multiple power supplies.

Good catch Buckweet.... I actually meant that 7206's can only has one sup-engine, so there is no redundancy for in the chassis. By having two 7206's in parrellel running HSRP, at least you have the extra piece of hardware sitting out there.

yea, multiple devices is always better.. Cisco's supervisor failover feature in their catalyst switches hardly ever works...
