Question : Cisco 2507 to a cable modem...
|
|
I inherited a 2507 that has 8 ethernet ports on it. Are these 8 individual interfaces or just one with a built in hub? I want to use it for my static IP at home. Can I do this? I couldn't find the manual on the cisco site.
Thanks in advance!

OOPS -- you did not mention T-1 before, and that makes a HUGE difference. I'd have to say NO, this router will probably not work with T-1, at a guess. For T-1, you need a high speed router, and usually an expensive one. The cheapo cable-dsl routers are NO GOOD for T-1. The T-1 bandwidth is 20x to 40x what they can handle. Check the specs on this router, I don't think it will do T-1, as I recall. See the link I gave you. You can get a Cisco PIX router that is fine for T-1 and VPN and high performance internet work, it needs to be fairly new, not an older Cisco. The serial ports are generally for monitoring the router from a terminal, not anything to do with internet communications.
