RV260-K8-RU
| Model: | RV260-K8-RU – Cisco RV200 VPN Routers |
| Detail: | Cisco RV260 9-Ports 1-Slots Gigabit VPN Router |
RV260-K8-RU is an enterprise Cisco router, from the RV200 family: cisco RV260 9-Ports 1-Slots Gigabit VPN Router.
It carries VPN capability. The question worth asking is whether those features are licensed as well as present, because on most routers security is a separate entitlement from the hardware, and enabling it also costs throughput the headline figure does not account for.
What this platform is for. The RV200 is a small-business router from Cisco’s RV line, aimed at offices that need VPN and firewall capability without an enterprise chassis. Knowing the family’s intended role is usually more useful than the part number when you are working out whether something fits: a chassis built for one job will do another, but rarely well, and the cost of that mismatch tends to show up as throughput or feature limits rather than as an outright failure.
Three questions worth answering before any router purchase, whatever the model. What the throughput requirement actually is with your feature set enabled, rather than the datasheet figure measured without it. Whether the features you need are licensed as well as present, since on most platforms security and performance are separate entitlements. And how many slots or ports you will need in three years, because adding capacity is cheap and replacing a chassis is not.
Tell us what the router has to do, the circuits it has to terminate, the throughput you are designing to and whether you need the security features licensed. We would rather size it from the requirement than from a part number, because the two commonest mistakes on a router purchase are buying throughput that turns out to need a licence and buying a chassis with no slots left.
Green Code Technologies is a supplier of Cisco, and we supply Huawei and Juniper networking alongside HPE, Dell, Samsung, Netgear, Ubiquiti and Asus. We would rather tell you a part is no longer supported, or that we need to check it, than take an order for something that will not do what you need.
