Cisco 2611 with old Ios installed - need to upgrade? trashcan 06-21-09

Hey,

I just got a rather old Cisco 2611 router with 2 10Base-T and one serial wic
installed.
After quite a time its the first cisco router I had to configure... so I'm
kind of outdated with those cisco's as the cisco itself I think...

All I want this 2611 to do is:

make a pppoe connection to a ADSL provider
make a dyndns update to be accessible even with a dynamic ip
do pat/nat on the internal network
forward two external ports to an internal server
make it accessible by ar BRI-ISDN (which isn't built in yet) from the
outside.

I don't know if the IOS which is installed does really support all this, so,
I really appreciate your help if it can do this with this version

No luck,
for dyndns you'll need at least IOS 12.4 Mainline or 12.3(14)T.
For PPPoE you'll need the PLUS feature set.

No. It appears.

You will need an ADSL WIC and it looks like
you need extra RAM and FLASH.
This is in addition to the ISDN WIC.

The min quoted for ADSL support is
16M Flash
64M RDRAM

Your best idea might be to look on ebay for a suitable router.

2611 will probably have trouble keeping up with
an 8M dsl too.

Everything here except ADSL WIC.

I have no knowledge of this seller and I am not
recommending this purchase.

Bummer...

Do I? I just guessed I could also use an ADSL Bridge on one of the
ethernet ports.

Maybe I'll try to get those on ebay somewhere...

Eer.. no.. I wanted to use *this* router for something useful and
because I got a third 1 mbit DSL account where I simply look for a pppoe
capable router to feed it into the main pfsense box.
So I thought ye'goode olde 2611 would do the trick just fine since I
don't expect really high performance...

I thought 10 MBit wouldn't be a problem with this kind of cisco?

Does anyone know the original spare part numbers for cisco flash and dram?

thanks!

cheers,

Uli

That would work. I've done that sort of test.

eBay is sometime pricey. Someplace like MemoryX.net has things for
somewhat decent costs. Look there too, or other memory vendors like
Crucial, as well as eBay.

Not on a 2611. This router was designed to drive a T1 or two.
Cisco low-end routers are *really* slow throughput. You are buying
cisco for the name and the feature set and the reliability.
NOT for the throughput of them. :(

A stock 2611 I usually measure out at about 5-6Mbps throughput..


>Does anyone know the original spare part numbers for cisco flash and dram?

Check the MemoryX.net site. They'll list part #s, pictures, config
options, diagrams, etc. Its a simple format anyway, like MEM-2600-64M or so.
