Alternate Option For CISCO 3945E

[Mayur.Lad]

Hi All,

We need to replace Cisco 3945E router (L3 Switch) with upgraded version of Another Cisco product within a same price range.

Can you please provide some information or Alternatives for the same.

upgraded version of another Cisco product within a same price range.

The entire statement is an oxymoron.  

Any Cisco product which is an upgrade of a previous version is, a minimum, 30% more expensive than the previous version.  

What is the reason for upgrading the 3945E?

HI Joseph,

Thanks for your reply.

I am considering Cisco 4451 router for up-gradation from C3945E and just wanted to know that whether Cisco 4451 is compatible with HWIC-2FE modules or not?

I want atleast 5 Routed interfaces for the connectivity on the node.

Kindly revert.

Thanks

Mayur
