In fact, there really aren't any cheaper MX options at all, other than the kneecapped MX80 and MX104 variants. MX204 is really a nice box. I only wish they had a redundant version.</div><div data-marker="__SIG_PRE__" style="caret-color: #000000; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.333333015441895px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #ffffff; text-decoration: none;" data-mce-style="caret-color: #000000; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.333333015441895px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #ffffff; text-decoration: none;"><br></div><div data-marker="__SIG_PRE__" style="caret-color: #000000; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.333333015441895px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #ffffff; text-decoration: none;" data-mce-style="caret-color: #000000; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.333333015441895px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #ffffff; text-decoration: none;">Is price your only concern with the MX204? You might not need the full blown -R or -IR version, so the list price would only be ~$45K.</div></div><div data-marker="__SIG_PRE__"><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div data-marker="__SIG_PRE__">I'm not too familiar with other vendors, so I'll leave that to others.</div><div data-marker="__SIG_PRE__"><br>thanks,<br>-Randy</div><div data-marker="__SIG_PRE__"><span data-marker="__DIVIDER__"><br data-mce-bogus="1"></span></div><div data-marker="__SIG_PRE__"><span id="zwchr" data-marker="__DIVIDER__">----- On Aug 7, 2019, at 11:02 PM, Mehmet Akcin <mehmet@akcin.net> wrote:<br></span></div><div data-marker="__QUOTED_TEXT__"><blockquote style="border-left:2px solid #1010FF;margin-left:5px;padding-left:5px;color:#000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><div dir="auto">Greetings,</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I am looking for some suggestions on alternatives to mx204. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Any recommendations on something more affordable which can handle full routing tables from two providers?</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Prefer Juniper but happy to look alternatives.</div><div dir="auto">Min 6-8 10G ports are required</div><div dir="auto">1G support required</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Thanks in advance! </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Mehmet</div>-- <br><div dir="ltr">Mehmet<br>+1-424-298-1903</div><br></blockquote></div></div></body></html>
