[ahr139401]

Hi everyone,

I am looking for a two Cisco router for entreprise edge network (HA) interconnected with STM-1, which should have the following

interfaces(modules/SPAs):

1/ Electrical interface:

   Interface électrique – 100Base-TX ( 8x 100base-TX)
   Interface électrique – 1000Base-TX
   Interface électrique – 100Base-X SFP
   Interface électrique – 1000Base-X SFP

2/ Optical interface:

   Interface  optique  – 100Base-F
   Interfaces optiques – 1000Base-LX
   Interfaces optiques – 1000Base-SX
   Interfaces optiques – STM-1c POS

I am thinking between the ASR1000 and 7600, i don't now if i am on the right track? Please help with advice, and thank you in advance

Prefer ASR1000 models as 7600 is end-of-life. Also it has all the modules you wanted.

Further for 1000BASE-TX you can use SFP-GE-T in ASR1000 models.

Thank you very much for your help,  at least you answered my question

for 1000Base-TX. I was tginking that the SFP-GE-T were only for 1000Base-T

Is there significant price difference between the 1002-X with HA and 1006 with HA.

Regards

[vivek srivastava]

Yes. price difference is approx 50% more

[ahr139401]

Thank you for you support.

We decided to go for 1002-X with VPN+HA licenses, plus one

SPA-8xFE and one SPA-2xOC3. However i been told that we need some special license for each port/interface on the router? Is that true. 

We may go for ASR1002X-5G-HSEC/K9 bundle.

Pls advice

For normal routing switch - NO

Thanks a lot for your quick answer & help.

We may go for this Bundle: ASR1002X-5G-SHA-K9 ?

what do you think? do we need any special license?

thank you very much in advance.
