small router recommendation

tonyward

I need to configure a small router to

support a single server in a hosting facility.

I need to have 2 10/100 WAN ports, and 1 10/100 LAN port.

On one of the WAN ports I need to configure 3 site-site vpn connections supporting a low volume of data.

The other WAN port will be used for route SIP/RTP traffic between the WAN and the server (2-3 Mbps)

Budget is tight so I don't want to over-buy.

Can anyone point me to some suggested hardware/software configs I should be looking at?

I need to have 2 10/100 WAN ports, and 1 10/100 LAN port.

What type of WAN?  Ethernet?  ADSL?  ISDN?

If hand-over is Ethernet then you are looking at the 1800 or 1900 for 2 WAN ports.  For an additional 1 LAN port then you need to purchase a HWIC-4ESW 4-port, Layer 2 switch module that will slide into the 1800/1900 router.

Thanks, leolaohoo,   Both WAN connections will be Ethernet, so I'll look into the 1800/1900 series as you suggest.

      In my office i configure VPN connections using a 2800 series with advanced ip services ios.  Is this the IOS i would need on the 1800/1900 in order to configure 3 site-site vpns?

VPN would be supported in IP Services feature set.

When you make your decision at to which of the two, make sure you load up the DRAM to the max.
