Cisco router and BGP

[secure.boy]

HI
we want to put new router in middle of our links
1 isp 20Mbps
2 isp 10Mbps


Can somebody recommend me the cheapest cisco router to run BGP?

Are you trying to load balance or fail over the links? The ISR series IIRC will support BGP.

The 2800s are current ones that will, the 2600s are older ones that will. (Anything in those series.)

I would go with the 2801 or 2811 series. The 2600s will work but I don't think you can get support contracts on those anymore since they have been end-of-lifed.

it also depends on if you want to take full BGP views from your providers; this will change the minimum amount of CPU and RAM requirements in the router.

so you say the 2801 will do the job?

It will, but i'm a big fan of the 2811's. A little more powerful and supports Network Modules.

A used 7500 router isn't too expensive, if you are pulling full routes from both ISP's a 7507 shoudl easily handle it.
