Hardware for Backbonerouter

Hi,

I’m searching for an affordable/small/powerfull Platform for RouterOS
as Corerouter.

Found this piece of hardware:

Anything against this HW?
Just plug in the IDE Flash with ROS and be happy?

Advanced Features working:

  • Trunking?
  • Failover (with second box)?

Any chance to get this display working as status display?

Thanks,
Stefan

I have a couple of ‘core routers’ that I’ve combo’ed as switches as well…

They are 4u units each w/a pair of 4 port MT ethernet cards. Setup with VVRP protocol for failover.

Both of these units are generic PCs. These ones happen to be AMD powered 2.2Ghz cpus, w/actual IDE hard drives though IDE Flash modules would work just fine (I have a small ‘out area’ router is that configed - w/a IDE flash - works great).

Anyway the point is just about any ‘standard’ PC type unit will work, IDE is required (no SATA hard drive support as of yet). If you want failover then you’ll need two units.
