What are the QoS capabilities of a cisco 2620?

is it simply single-port-based or can it be port range and ip based as well?


Thanks



Appearantly it support RSVP, WFQ, and IP precendence. Unfortunately I only know CCNA-level cisco configuration, so I am not familar with QoS configuration....


Basically, is setting QoS based on a port range possible with this thing?
 
2610 with IP Plus and IOS v12.2+ should do it w/o issue. Can match on srcIP,dstIP,srcPort,dstPort, just about anything you can put in an access list -- to include matching port ranges (eg match 6881-6889 for bittorrent in one rule).

sweet. I guess the 2620 should be able to do it too then?

What is IP Plus in regards to a cisco router? Is it another IOS version or simpyl an addon?
 
basically I am looking at this router 2610

This one has 12.1 (9) I haven't been able to find the requirements for 12.2T 🙁 Cisco says it is supported on the 2600 series but I can't find ram/processor requirements🙁

At first I had been interestes in this 2620 but it has no info🙁

2620

 
12.2+ is required if you want to trunk / do L2 CoS on it's single 10mbps interface. If you're only policing at L3, then just about any 2600 with v12.xx train should do. Hell, if you have the IPPlus IOS, anything down to like an 800 series will do it.

This Document talks about IOS naming convention and feature sets. Unfortunately, I've never been able to decipher them accurately, but the i/s/p/j will have the features you need. Looks like the -ds- feature set supports voip, and thus should do QoS.

The first router listed looks like a pretty good bet. if this is for a lab/learning, I'd just pick one up and get to it. If it's for production ... I'd be looking at the 2800 series 🙂
 
I'd buy it for the requested $214. Looks like it has enough ram, a newer ios and a decent feature set -- should be enough to get you rockin. Keep in mind that it has no NMs and no WICs in it and only one ethernet port, so you don't have a lot of connectivity built in - might want to get a dsl wic, fastethernet cards, etc.
 
keep in mind that platform is end of life/end of sale.

Its a dinosaur that's been out for about 7 years.

But if its not going to be in production it should be fine to play with.

You're so cruel🙁



That said, randall said it can handle about 7Mbps😀

With 12.3 firmware it will hopefully be feasible to learn how QoS is setup😀
 
randall's probably right on. But adding QoS and other features use processor, which is the bottle neck in that system.

It has plenty of ram flash, so give it a shot.
 
The 2600 series boxes are rather amazing, considering how slow the CPU in them is. I would not discount them. They've managed put a lot of features and not too bad a performance into those.

Yes, they're end of life. But I think you'll see new IOS images for the 2600 series for a long time. There's a lot of happy customers with those boxes, paying yearly for their SmartNet contracts. And if those customers are forced into shopping for a new box, they might not buy cisco the next time around. cisco's replacement product line (the ISRs) has major software defects, Juniper has interesting boxes in the same product space (too bad Juniper doesn't understand selling to enterprises *at all*), and Huawei and 3Com and who knows who else are all trying to gun for the enterprise router market. cisco would be very stupid to push too hard for happy 2600 owners who are paying for SmartNet contracts to get another box.

Today, if the 2620 does what you need, that's the box I'd recommend. It's very solid, and it's going to be supported for long enough.

I got a 2610🙁 but hopefully it will do what I need
 
Goosemaster, 2610 is a good box too. The main problem with it and some other models of the 2600s is the 10Mb/s LANCE "Ethernet" interface instead of the more modern 100Mb/s "FastEtehernet" interface - the older one can't do full duplex and doesn't do N-Way either, and that causes a lot of headache in modern networks. With those older boxes, always configure your switch to 10 Half manually if possible.
