Which Hardware as Router only?

Tom_i
Hi all,

I need a fast router for a Gigabit WAN Connection. The firewall speed of the ASG 120 is stated with 1,8Gbit/s so this should be enough. The connection will be used by 60 clients and 15 servers. I think the 1Gbit/s will be fully used from time to time. I will not set any firewall rules (allow any any), so routing only is the target.

Can anybody tell me if the ASG 120 should be enough? Or should I buy a ASG220?

Additionaly I need the ability to set static routes - is this possible with the free Version of ASG? No more features will be necessary, so I would buy the hardware only without any subscriptions.

Thank you

    220 at that speed?  with that many packets I would build your own box with dual core(possibly quad) 3.0ghz or faster and 4 gigs of ram..something the 220 isn't going to do.

    Hi All,

    For plain statefull firewalling with NAT and static routing (yes we can do that). The ASG120 will be enough yet, can reach its limits, especially when some of the reporting is running. 

    At home I use an ASG220 with 3x 100mbit with uplink balancing, firewall, ips, web filtering, application control, wireless and reporting and the system has less than 30% utilization, therefore it should easily handle your requirements.

    How many concurrent connections do you expect?

    Thx Gert
