Integrating Frame Relay and DSL - which router?

Which router?

One or two symmetric frame relay 2000/2000 and one or two 2000/256 DSL. Routing, bandwidth managing, authorisation on another LAN machine(s).

I want to share some traffic to every provider without load balancing feature (which doubles the costs in my case). I want to have one or two 100 Mbps ethernet LAN ports. Cisco will act only as a simple V.35-ethernet adapter and do some simple routing, qos, etc... Nice to have is automatic switching of all traffic from dead WAN to other provider. I need:

- minimum 25 000 pps real traffic which is about 40-50 kpps of what written in the tech specs,

- 2 V.35 ports,

- 2 ethernet WAN full duplex, ports

- 1-2 ethernet LAN 100 Mbps, full duplex ports

- SSH instead of telnet.

Currently I use old 2501 but on one 2/2 Mbps link I have about 50-60% CPU use.

I'm cisco beginner and my types are:

So which router and how much memory do I need? Thanks

Hi,

I would go for a 2800 series router, for example the 2811 or larger. Then add the required WIC's for your frame and dsl connections (1x WIC-2T and 2x WIC-1ADSL...). With the security featurepack the router supports SSH. Ask your providers to provide you a BGP default-route (or default-route + local nets) in order to implement the dead-WAN-failover. Failover can also be implemented using the SAA if you like, then you don't need the BGP default-route.
