Subject:   replacing a cisco router with a fbsd box
Message-ID:  <3B8F90CB.CEFC484C@wiegand.org>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
At work I have 3 cisco routers - a 1600, 2500, 2600. The 1600 has proven

to be the most unreliable piece of crap imaginable.  The cisco router
runs
nat and firewall services currently, should be easy to replace with a
fbsd
box.
I am wondering if it is possible to replace it with a fbsd machine?
The problem I see with this is the connection of the csu/dsu to the
router -
it uses some funky block connector to plug into the cisco router. Is
there a
way to convert that block connector (I don't know the proper name for
it),
to plug into an ethernet card on the fbsd box? Or is there a pci card
available
for the fbsd box that will accept this funky block connector?
