Hardware recommendation for ISP peering BGP

madhupal
Level 1
Level 1

I'm looking for recommendations on the best ISP peering devices, considering price as well

Context: We're planning to establish BGP peering with our internet providers (ISPs), with the goal of accepting only partial routes from the providers (not the full internet routes).

Our topology will be an "Active-Active" internet setup(2 routers ===> 1 ISP connection to each router), meaning the best path to the destination will be routed through one of the ISPs based on BGP.

We require strong performance and high throughput, as we have around 800+ employees.

Currently, we have a 500 Mbps speed profile with both our primary and backup ISPs in an Active/Backup configuration.

Thanks in Advance

I have one more question: After purchasing one of these hardware models (C8200-1N-4T or C8200L-1N-4T), will I need to buy any additional specific licenses? I assume we’ll need to purchase support as well.

This is my first time, so I’m not entirely sure how it all works

If you looking 8GB ram then suggest - C8200-1N-4T it can also go up to 1G (depends on the features you looking).

License and support information can be find here :
