They are critical in connecting our 100 WAN sites and edge connectivity.
  • Once they are configured you can basically forget them until your (NMS) network management systems notify you of an issue
  • Simple EIGRP configuration
  • Super cost effective
  • Most are single power supply
  • If they aren't a full 19" 1U device you have to purchase rack ears separately from the device
  • VPN tunneling can be a bit of a configuration challenge
I think that there is a Cisco router for every deployment.
  • Buying a router and a layer 2 switch in low bandwidth deployments can save hundreds of dollars.
  • The flexibility of the IR800 makes it the perfect edge processing IoT device. We would be able to change our backhaul method as needed with changing devices.
  • With the new port configurations we have been able to consolidate to single routers where before we had to use 2 or more.
We have only used Cisco Routers, why trade a BMW for a Hyundai.

We are very familiar with how the devices work and have a long history of dependable deployments.
I wouldn't.
The more you can plan in advance the easier the deployment will be.

Change management was a major issue with the implementation
Give yourself an easy backout plan.
  • Found a bug that affects ssh.
  • Online training
  • Self-taught
My training was through a third party that had good knowledge but wasn't able to answer all of my questions.
Yes it was, Cisco has tons of Google-able materials and good forums that can help
People have bad days and some things are deemed not critical enough to fix.
No
We have onsite spares.
No
Cisco's advanced service dug in and solved our configuration problems when working a proof of concept around the IR829 routers.
My experience is that there is always something that proves to be just a bit tedious to get figured out but once you do it is easily duplicated
  • Eigrp set up
  • T1 configuration, module installation and setup
  • Trunking to the switch
  • BGP configuration is a bit difficult if you don't have experience configuring it.
  • VPN setup can be confusing unless you have done a couple previously
No
Not every router can handle all situations and so you have to purchase the upgrade to do handle the new requirements.
Cisco routers can be configure and forgotten unless you are adding to the configuration or on the rare troubleshooting event.
