7204 VXR Replacement

[dahgenegweon]

Hello,

I was planning to buy 7204 VXR for my site's router for the following requirements:

- support for ATM, Serial, ISDN

- support for 3 10/100/1000 ethernet interface

- support for 2 WAN interface

However, I realized that the 7200 series will not be available for sale after September of this year!!

Can anyone  recommend a "reasonable" replacement for 7204 VXR that meets the above requirements?

Thank you in advance

Either the ASR 1000 or the 3900E.

Thank you for your prompt response..

btw, I forgot to metntion that the router needs to be able to upgrade its performance via mainboard replacement.

So, I don't think th e3900e series would satisfy. 

I'm not sure about the ASR 1000 series though..I might have to do some more research

upgrade its performance via mainboard replacement.

What do you mean by this?

You mean, like the 7200 you can upgrade the NPE from one to another? 

[dahgenegweon]

yes, from NPE-G1 to NPE-G2 for example...

Cisco Software Activation is supported for performance upgrade from 2.5 to 5 Gbps (on the Cisco ASR 1001 Router) and from 5 to 10, 20, or 36 Gbps (on the Cisco ASR 1002-X Router).

That's about it.
