Re: I need big time help (cisco soho91 router)
said by PunkGod  :
Also what is the difference between the soho91 and the 831 router. The only thing I see is VOip.
Besides the flash being 8 meg in the SO91 vs 12 meg in the 831, the flash is non-upgradeable in the SOHO 91 - a fixed config, vs it can be upgraded in the 831. Also, in a show running-config I see "Cisco C831 (MPC857DSL) processor" for my 831, the MPC857DSL processor is a 50mhz Motorola RISC chip (I googled to find that out as on the Cisco website it only lists it as a "Motorola RISC"). You can do a show running-config, find the CPU number, and do a google to find out how the SOHO91's CPU compares to an 831
Functionality can also depend on what version of IOS is included - sometimes you can buy "software modules" for the IOS which add functionality to your router.
Maybe the best way to find out further differences is to call Cisco Cust Service 800-553-6387 and speak to the pre-sales dept. I don't see a direct comparison between the two on the Cisco website, but they are closely related - the install guide for the 91 and the 831 are the same document. |
