Suitable substitute for Meraki MX64 router
I want to test a networking solution proposed in Expert-Exchange solution for "2 vlans and one internet connection" Posted on 2018-09-05.
PURPOSE: The Meraki MX64 license is too much for me so I was thinking of using a Cisco 1720 instead, just for testing.
QUESTION: Please tell me if the Cisco 1720 Modular Access Router will act the same way that the Meraki MX64 does for NAT and DHCP?
ALTERNATIVE: Or can you recommend a better pick? Perhaps one with gigabit interface - that I can buy used?

Yes, any cisco router should be able to do what the Meraki did for your purposes.

Hi Soulja, good to hear from you again.
I've not done NAT before. Even the classic Cisco 2911 does NAT. Will it keep a session open for like an ftp session?
