Cisco Router with DSL?? Please help

[WebHead]

Hi all,

Anyone know which model of Cisco routers that I can use for DSL, can I use a 2600?? Thanks.

Do you mean with or without a DSL modem? If you have a DSL modem that gives you an ethernet port, then you could use just about any Cisco router with 2 ethernet interfaces. Cisco also makes some routers with integrated DSL modems. However if you need to do funky things like PPPoE then it might get a little more complicated. Also if you need to be a DHCP client this wasn't supported until IOS 12.2, so you need hardware that will support the latest IOS.

There is a DSL network module for the 2600.

You can also use the 675 and 678 with some services but I'm not sure if these are defined as routers... they do have NAT, DHCP and other routing type functionalities.

What is it that you wish to accomplish? If you just want to do NAT to share the connection between several computers, then you could accomplish the task a lot more cheaply with an alternative solution.
