Hi
i was told to purchase a 2610xm - instead of a 2610

Can someone please explain the difference?

The exact reason given was "incase i want to move on to voice or a ccnp"

i am interested in a voice system - but i just wondered what the difference was

thanks

My understanding is that Xm simply stands for extra memory, which allows a more up-to-date/feature-rich IOS to run.

I'd suggest getting the 2611Xm or 2621XM, which come with two ethernet ports instead of just one.

And for completeness..... ??Z?XM where Z indicates the processor, two being higher than one

Cheers
Rich

 

I can recommend the 2621XM Router, very handy for my CCNA studies, and I am not going to start the CCNA Voice track, hence why I purchased this.

Like Rich said get something with 2 ethernet ports, just saves having to buy another card for them.
