Happy Holidays Cisco Community!
I am looking through the different Cisco Routers that are listed on the Cisco Website and trying to pick out a router and am finding some difficulty.
I am looking for a border router for my enterprise data center that supports full BGP tables with 4GB-8GB of memory for future growth but preferably more for doing soft inbound reconfiguration with IPv4 & IPv6 on 4 peers.
I want a router with 10G interfaces with SFP+ optics, however, built-in interfaces or the ability to add interfaces with higher speeds would be nice to have for future updates (25G -> 100G max).
Most importantly, I want the closest possible thing to traditional IOS... I have not worked with the SD-WAN images, but correct me if I am wrong, are these SD-WAN images more GUI driven? It just seems to me that every router I look is SD-WAN and I am looking for a traditional IOS experience. Any feedback on this specifically would be greatly appreciated.. am I missing something and can I do all the traditional IOS command-line configuration with these routers, the majority of which on the Cisco site seem to be SD-WAN routers now-a-days?
Thank you so much in advance for helping out an old router guy.
