Is migrating from MikroTik to Cisco as my main router a viable thing to do? Esp. if I want fanless, rack mountable and somewhat full IOS

would something like a Cisco 890 be the way to go or am I missing a better product?

god, cisco has way too many products and their naming doesn't make any sense either
Show threadMerlin (Unifi hater no. 1)Jul 5, 2025
wait there are affordable, somewhat new Cisco fanless routers, with DSL? Why did I buy a FritzBox??
Show threadMerlin (Unifi hater no. 1)Jul 5, 2025
maybe I should start with virtualized IOS though

@merlin the 1100 series?
Show threadMerlin (Unifi hater no. 1)Jul 5, 2025
@0x47df exactly that one! Only thing I'm missing is SFP+, otherwise I would have ordered one right on the spot

@merlin i /nearly/ bought one a few years ago but couldn't quite figure out which license(s) i needed to make anyconnect do the thing
Show threadMerlin (Unifi hater no. 1)Jul 5, 2025
@0x47df I didn't even think about anyconnect. right, there is no WireGuard on IOS... that would be a challenge

@merlin @0x47df hand-patched IOS XE with the wireguard kernel module,,,

@jn @0x47df wait, there is WireGuard for some IOS https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios-xml/ios/qos_nbar/prot_lib/config_library/pp6100/release-notes-cisco-protocol-pack-61-0-0.html

@merlin @jn that looks like traffic identifiers for app-aware firewalling bits to me? (not a cisco person at all)
Show threadMerlin (Unifi hater no. 1)Jul 5, 2025
@0x47df @jn me neither, I just googled Cisco IOS WireGuard. You may very well be correct

@0x47df @merlin right, at least the Fritzbox doesn't come with "as a service, we let you pay on-demand if you want faster VPN speeds (you mean IPSec when you say VPN, right?!)" 😅
Show threadMerlin (Unifi hater no. 1)Jul 5, 2025
@HeNeArXn @0x47df yeah that would be a major pain... so far the fritzbox is nothing but a dumb modem that's passing stuff to a proper router though
