The three 2004 options have been available for quite some time now, and the CCR2116 seems appropriate if you're looking for more CPU, and is also in stock.",

They have a L2 segment with 2 fhrp addresses AB and BA for traffic engineering purposes. Also requires prepending but that's probably a pretty standard feature at this point.\n\nDoes require a seperate VRF for mgmt or dedicated interface.\n\nBandwidth is currently 1G but upgrading to 2 or 4 soon, so requires atleast 2 or more SFP+ ports (upstream/downstream)\n\nWhich model would be a best fit in 19 inch rackmount format with current (2027) availability?",
