Cisco RV130

[donnie]

Hello,

I am trying to find out what kind of CPU the new Cisco RV130 router have but i can't find this information anywhere as there are no reviews out yet (i tweeted Cisco and all they could say was that it had a Cavium CPU)

I am hopping it uses the same processor as the Cisco RV320 (Cavium CN5020 processor) Is there anyone that can put my mind at ease and have the answer to this?

I own an RV130,
not sure what can be done from the web interface to figure it out?
as there is no console access

I bought one for its LACP abilities and its price

I do not know how to check it without opening it but maybe someone else does? Does it feel responsive in it's management interface though?

That's actually why i want to know what kind of CPU it has, because the RV line its known for a "laggy" interface with the exception of RV320 (that one has a faster dual core CPU)

I'll need to go read through what people are calling laggy from a web interface perspective on the RV series

I mainly use it for doing lab work, but here is my take on it

- the device boots up quick enough

- The web Interface seems to be ok, with exception
sometimes you make a change and while its being processed
the browser doesn't seem to go back to the web interface
I have to close and re-open it, but the settings do take
other than that, the web interface works fine

From the web interface under System Summary its shows cpu type
The cpu is a Cavium CNS3410
as to what speed its running at, not sure, but here is the specs on the series

If you look at the end of the pdf, it shows the possible variants

Thanks alot for your answer and your time! This means a single core CPU which is abit of a downer but expected considering the price. I guess ill try to find a slight used RV320 instead.

Your Welcome

Side note:
If the EdgeMax 5 port router had a 4 port switch and not a 3 port switch
I would have most likely gone with that router
though I did look at the RV320
