Spec'ing routers: 1721 vs 831
Hello:
I am trying to determine which routers to purchase for a small branch office deployment. Any suggestions very welcome.
Basically, we have a central office with no more than 50 employees. We then will have four branch offices with no more than 20 employees each. We want to connect evertying over a VPN. The connections to the Internet would vary (DSL, ISDN, and T1) but would terminate on separate devices so that the Cisco router would only need Ethernet interfaces.
Will 831s work for this? Does a 1721 add anything to the mix?
Does anything change if the number of employees bumps up to 100 at central and the number of sites goes to 10?
Finally, what if we also want to terminate roaming laptop client VPN connections as well?
TIA
