Multinet Tunnel Connections to SG1:: - HECnet

7 Jun 2012

This isn't the thread for it, I realize.... the product slick states that the switch
does BGP, HSRP, OSPF, VRRP, etc.. again, not my area of expertise... is this still
considered a switch?

Ah... I was told it was a "layer 4" switch, so I assumed it did some routing and
something at layer 4 (firewall?!?!)... not familiar with the term, frankly...

          Most any Cisco router will do the trick, but
the oldest you'd probably
       want to use for something like this would be a 2500 series.   They can be
       had all day long for $10-20/ea, they pull very little power, and their
       software is...erm, "available" if you know what I mean.

 Just picked up a Catalyst 4948 (probably a bit overkill, but it was
 free)... not sure if I have the correct licenses... in any case, if
 anyone has a quick bit on setting this up, I, for one, would be
 interested... 
  Um...that's a switch, not a router.   I'm almost positive this model
runs IOS, but as far as I'm aware it has no routing capabilities.

  But either way, free is good. :-)
