yes you should have at least two to four on hand for downstream trunks.

Thanks for chiming in.. Does this router not have a usual Gi0/0 interfaces like other low end Cisco routers? I am trying to understand the need for it.<br />

Hi ;<br />
We are planning to get Cisco ASR router to handle 100M link to our Data center. The question is that entire LAN is on copper (RJ45 interface). Do we need to order a few SFP-GE-T for the LAN side of the network? I was told that ASRs need those, unlike other smaller routers.

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

Hardware includes cell phones and other digital living devices, tablets, computers, servers, peripherals and components, printers and scanners, gaming consoles, networking hardware such as routers, hubs, switches and modems, storage devices and security equipment such as firewalls and other appliances.
