Core Router gigabit drop.

[dcjones]

Can you please recommend a core router for gigabit drop. We are having a single giabit drop to our datacenter. We need core router to handle this, Can you recommend anything other than juniper m7i?. Do you know any cisco core routers?

Thanks in advance.

Cisco7200/12000 or Foundry BigIron could do the job I think.

Look at something like a used BigIron 4000. Get it with 2 management modules and 2 power supplies then select either 10/100 or gig over copper and you should be all set with lots of room for growth. You can pick them up used for about $8-10K.
