Subject: IGS vs 3000

> What is the practical difference between an IGS router and the 3000 series?
> Do the 3000s have flash eprom?  What other advantages (if any) do they pose?

The IGS/R and IGS/L are based on the Motorola 68020 processor. They are not
Flash RAM capable, and support a maximum of 4mb Dynamic RAM.

The IGS/TR is based on the 68030 processor. It can be upgraded to use
Flash RAM and up to 4mb Dynamic RAM.

The Cisco 3000 series are all based on the 68030, and have 2mb Flash RAM
standard. They can be upgraded to 16MB Dynamic RAM.

The IGS line is the lowest-cost router in our product line. It supports all
current software versions, up to 9.1.2 (although this requires the 4mb DRAM
option be installed).

The 3000 series is a notch above the IGS in terms of performance and
expandability. The Flash capability of the 3000 means that it can receive
software upgrades without having to touch the box.
