Good evening all. I have a couple of 2911 g2 routers that are being decommissioned. I was thinking of using these to connect to two ISPs (one each) and run bgp where I can take a default only route from each provider then advertise a summary only. Other than hsrp that is all these guys would do. Is it a good idea to run this on these two low end routers? The ISP pipes will be 50 mb each. I know ppl use them on mpls CPe connection fine

Hi Josh,
They will do the job fine. I have implemented them myself in a similar role. I do assume that only one summary or a default route will be advertised in your BGP process. Other than that, the 2911 could even host the full BGP routing table with the main memory upgraded but it is on the very limit of this router capabilities and not recommended at all. As MPLS cpe this machine is brilliant. Did many of them.


Hope this helps
Alessio
