Looking for a CISCO product with NAT functionality

[aurelthomi]

Despite the fact that this might be more a sales question than a technical support question i would like to ask you for help.

(i didn't find any useful way to get in touch - by email - with any sales departement of cisco yet)

We have two identically (same amount of clients with the same IP setups) structered networks (net1 and net2). We would like to connect these two networks with a Router/Switch to a "management Network" (net3).

As far as i'm aware this might be done with NAT (network address transformation -- map net1/net2 into net3).

We have already a CISCO SG-300 in use which supports VLAN's but does not support routing between VLAN's (correct me if i'm wrong).

Is there a low price "single-hardware" solution available from CISCO (no high end buisness solution)?

Thanks for any hints.

You best choice is browse router prices online for something that meets your budget.

I would have used google to find a router but i don't know which model does support the functionality i need.

And go through all the thousands of datasheets available from all the manufacturers would definitly take me too long.

My hope was that someone at cisco could give me a hint if they got a suitable solution for my problem.

All Cisco routers do what you mentioned, with different performance. For best performance should use a layer-3 switch.

If you contact Cisco, they will send you to a reseller. it is also my suggestion that you engage are reputable consultanto instead of trying to do yourself.

If i would have found an obvious contact (i prefer email) with an cisco sales person (located in Switzerland) i would have written an email.

The cisco homepage does offer you plenty of support when you already _bought_ a cisco product but i didn't found a easy way to get in touch with the sales departments.

Anyway, thank you for your answers.

Again: Cisco does not sell directly to end user and even less to small business. You need to work with a local reseller. Their list is on the Cisco website.
