  2612    15 K pps    40 MHz  EDO DRAM   64 MB     16 MB      1 Ethernet + 1 TokenRing
  2611    15 K pps    40 MHz  EDO DRAM   64 MB     16 MB      2 Ethernet
 *2610    15 K pps    40 MHz  EDO DRAM   64 MB     16 MB      1 Ethernet

* Most commonly found model.
** This particular model has 3 WIC expansion slots

All models have one console port, one auxiliary port, one Network Module (NM) expansion slot and two WAN Interface Card (WIC) expansion slots.

All models can perform 802.1Q trunking on their Ethernet and FastEthernet interfaces; however, some models must be upgraded to maximum DRAM and flash memory configurations.
Most models are 1RU in height; however, some models are 2RU.

Most WIC and NM modules supported in the 2600 routing platform are also supported by these other routing platforms; 1600, 1700 and 3600. What this means is that NM's or WIC's you buy should be reusable in future purchases.

The original Cisco intended marketing purpose of the 2600 series routing platform was to power branch offices.

For reference this is what a 2610 looks like;

pps = packets per second

Glad I could help :) Hoping over the next few weeks to put together a few more similar posts.

Anyone up for doing a similar format for PIX / ASA devices?

What is the difference between say a 2611 and a 2611xm. What does the XM stand for and mean?

XMs support higher versions of IOS, they also have FastE ports instead of just 10mb ethernet. They're beefier routers. Wendell Odom's blog has some good info about building a lab, he talks about the differences between the two.

I assume you put a 32 and 16 for the flash, to max it out, on a 2610XM/2620XM routers?

Edit: Nevermind, found out it has a 16mb base memory.

Nice at a glance post on the 2600 series differences. Recent/current ebay pricing for the 2650 seems to be @$100 shipped and the 2610xm for @ $150-$200 shipped.

Assuming the choice between the two (both configured with 128mb dram & 32mb flash), would it still be worth the extra $$ to get the XM?

My planned usage is for a CCNP home lab.

3640 > 2600. The prices aren't much higher and you can do more. A 2650 also only has one ethernet port, IIRC. If I bought a non-xm 2600 it would be a 2611 (two ethernet ports).

Am I correct in saying that the 2600 series goes end of life this year?

I'm pretty sure that the 2600 non-xm series equipment has been EOSL for a long time now.

Then again *knock on wood* I've got 2500 series gear that is still rocking on without issues.
