what minimum Cisco Router Model for NAT and internal DHCP?

[lain]

I'm looking for the minimum Cisco Router that can do what mentioned on the topic.

I will be hooking it up to a switch - the PC will get IPs from the switch propagated from the Cisco Router.


Another word, NO SERVER WOULD BE REQUIRED for IP management.

Thanks very much.

What kind of line speeds? A Cisco 67x is what many ISP's will hand out with their DSL services. It supports the features you need.

If you've got a T1 to the ISP, most will recommend at least a 1600 and more likely a 2600-series. I don't know about their ability to really be a DHCP server, however.

generally you'd have two redundant DHCP servers handing out addresses for ALL networks. I believe even the 800 series can run DHCP
