opt-e-man fiber customer premise equipment

[allenchang04]

THanks in advance as always.

Our company is upgrading to the AT&T opt e man fiber circuit. We have requested a rj45 handoff, but my question is in regards to the capability of our equipment. WE have a central office that we will all be connected to as it wil have a 100mbs connection all the other remote site including the one im in will be a 10mbs connection. As we opted for the rj45 handoff can our cisco 1841 router be able to support the bandwidth. We currently have a csu/dsu T1 WIC card in place that i was thinking we could plug in but am i wrong to assume that?

THanks again for any advice!

I believe the opt-e-man is going to be a L2 handoff, not a L3... so you can actually plug it into your switch. A T1 hand off would need to be handed off to a T1 WIC card, but this is not that...

The circuit they deliver will be a 100Mbps but you'll need to configure your router to limit your use to the 10Mbps you're paying for, or they will drop packets. I can print out one of our configs if you need to know how to do this.

I have a 2851 on one end of our 10Mpbs circuit and an old 2691 (along with 4 T1 cards) on the other. The 1841 is a very capable router and will be fine for 10 Mbps.
