I am not certain on the value of having 1GbE interfaces natively on a $25k plus router in the year 2019. Pair the router with a nice 1RU 1/10GbE switch installed directly next to it with full metro Ethernet layer 2 feature set. Anything that needs a 1GbE inteface, attach it to that switch, give the switch a single 10GbE port to the router, and create the 1Gbps on the router as a subinterface. We have reached the point in 10GbE being so low cost that it should really be the minimum port size for a lot of things. I recently bought an Intel chipset two port SFP+ daughtercard for a Dell server (part c63dv for an old r720) on eBay for $40. On Wed, Aug 7, 2019, 8:04 PM Mehmet Akcin <mehmet () akcin net> wrote:
Greetings, I am looking for some suggestions on alternatives to mx204. Any recommendations on something more affordable which can handle full routing tables from two providers? Prefer Juniper but happy to look alternatives. Min 6-8 10G ports are required 1G support required Thanks in advance! Mehmet -- Mehmet +1-424-298-1903
