Please log in for more thread options Do anyone have any idea about Router stack? Is it possible to stack a router? If possible, how can we do it? Is there any special cable like switch? (switch have a special stack cable) Thanks, hhs | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options Why would you want to stack routers? The point of stacking switches is to get the port density needed while keeping bandwidth high and remaining one spanning tree device. If you need that port density and bandwidth, you would be usig a L3 switch anyway. -- Paul Matthews CCIE #4063 Please post questions to the NG, NOT by e-mail. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I have a router which is like a central point that link to other router. (one central router in the city and other routers at the province connect to that). But now i need to connect more router to this central router but run out of interface. So it seem like i need to replace that router? or can the router stack?

If you're using a 3750 L3 switch as a router, or if you've filled a 6509 then you can either stack another 3750 onto the first or (if you're very rich) you can link 6509s with the new VSS feature. I'd be very surprised if you were doing either of those things so the answer is almost certainly no. Things you can consider are adding more interfaces to a modular router, buying a larger modular chassis and reusing your interfaces, daisychaining routers together, or just buying a bigger router. More information on what kind of router(s) you have already and the number and type of interfaces would let people provide better advice.

Buying a larger modular chassis mean like buying a new routers, right? What do you mean daisy chaining router? Now i have 2651 which have 2 WIC. (now already use all of 4 interface - 2x WIC-2T). Please advise. Thanks, hhs | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
