2811 Processor

[stephen.stack]

Hi Experts,

I posted about this a few days ago (thanks to the person who responded). However , i feel a fresh post will get my issue more exposure.

Can anyone tell mw what processor make, model and speed is in a Cisco 2811. I have a sales of a 2811 and a bunch of 3750s hanging on this answer. I would appreciate anyones help.

Regards

Stephen

Hi,

I actually don't know that information and i've never seen it on documents before, but i hope this Lab testing Summary report can help you:

HTH,

Hi Mohammed,

Thanks for the reply, unfortunatly, i've been thrugh both og those documents with a fine tooth comb. I really need some infor on this. Any further help appreciated.

I don't know, and it's not the kind of information Cisco normally makes publicly available.

Why knowing this is useful?  How does selling a 2811 and 3750s tie into this information?

I ask the forgoing, because possibly other information can satisfy whatever your knowledge goal/need is.

For instance, from personal testing, years ago, the 2811 appears to have much, much more control plane processing capacity than a 3750.  (Of course, the 2811 only has a smidgen of the 3750 data plane capacity.)

BTW, might you provide a link to your previous post?

Hello @Joseph W. Doherty ,

have you realized that OP has started the thread in year 2007 ?

Cisco 2811 is in EOL in the last 10 years. However, I agree that usually details on the CPU used on Cisco routers and Cisco switches were not public available.

There are now some more details about CPU models in documents related to IOX , guestshell running containers or VMs on guestshell . For this reason modern platforms processors parameters have been published

Hope to help

Giuseppe

Oops!  I did not.  Laugh - likely explains why I didn't find another recent posting (which I looked for).

Good chance, too, OP isn't going to provide that requested reference, either.  ; )

That I knew.  Just as the 3750s are too.  Thought OP might be dealing with old equipment, that was obtained.  (Similar to other postings asking about old equipment. Of course, now that you made me aware of the OP's original date, that equipment wasn't so old then.)

Since, back then, Cisco didn't publish much about actual chips being used (some proprietary, I'm sure), I was curious why this information was sought.

I also didn't know they (Cisco) were publicly publishing such details, even for the purposes you mentioned.  Might you provide references to any examples?  I'm curious just how detailed they get. Technically, even to most developers, they often don't care much about such details.  For example, model A processor is running a 2.2 Ghz and model B processor is running at 2.6 Ghz.  If identical processors, model B's is 18% faster, but what about all the other components in the device?  Ideally, same software can run on either platform, just a bit faster on model B.

Understand, not saying such information is without value, in fact it can be extremely valuable in some situations, but most of the time it's not.

@Joseph W. Doherty, @Giuseppe Larosa 

Even though this post is dated 2007, @yamaiones' response is SPAM by spruiking about refurb CPU.  

If performance is critical, you might want to consider upgrading to a more powerful setup. For example, I've had great experiences using i7 7700k processors in my systems for high-performance tasks. While not applicable to routers, it’s an excellent choice for desktops and servers that need more processing power.

Not all that uncommon to see spammers piggy back on old posts.

Although is now appears that spam reply was removed, it was one of the better one, as it appeared, initially, to address the OP issue/question.
