Cisco Expert Network Consultants

As technology progresses, the difference between routers and switches has grown blurred. Essentially, routers are Layer 3 (L3) products designed to connect networks with one another. A typical example is connecting an office network to the Internet. Switches are instead Layer 2 (L2) devices that interconnect various devices within a network. Generally, routers depend on CPUs to move data based on complex software, offering flexibility at the cost of throughput. Switches, on the other hand, rely on largely predefined hardware configurations to send traffic at the highest feasible speed. The current generation of routers usually come with L2 switches, and many of today’s switches include some Layer 3 routing capability. Routers offered by Cisco, the supplier of the vast majority of the world's routers, have advanced dramatically in capability and performance and Cisco now makes an extensive portfolio that features routers designed to handle the requirements of customers ranging from households to nationwide ISPs.

The most recent ISR routers from Cisco have the speed and built-in functionality to manage data voice and video as well as virtualization while also providing fault tolerance, web-based management, easy scalability, and advanced protection. Cisco's ISR routers allow your company to establish a solid basis for an information environment that can grow seamlessly as you hire new workers, open new sites, configure additional services, extend your system to customers and partners, and build an expanding mobile workforce. Progent’s Cisco qualified CCIE network engineers can provide immediate and economical remote expertise to help your company to plan, configure, manage, update, and support Cisco's most advanced router technology and can assist you to support your legacy routers or move non-disruptively to Cisco’s newer router products.

Default dynamic RAM size is 256 MB vs. 128 and top DRAM size is 2.25 gigabytes instead of 384 megabytes. Unlike the 1841 router, the Cisco 1941 and 1941W ISR G2 routers include a USB console in place of the outdated DB-9 connector and includes an add-in slot for the new Internal Services Module instead of a slot for the older and lower performance Advanced Integration Module. Unlike higher end ISR Generation 2 routers, the Cisco 1941 and 1941W Integrated Services G2 routers do not allow redundant power or slots for Packet Voice and fax DSP Modules.

2900 ISR G2 Routers
Cisco 2900 Series ISR G2 Routers are released in four versions which correspond to the models in Cisco’s popular 2800 router series. Cisco’s 2900 ISR G2 routers offer integrated hardware encryption acceleration, voice and video ready DSP slots, optional firewall, Cisco IOS intrusion prevention, voice mail, and from 16 up to 50 modular Ethernet switchports. The on-board encryption circuitry supports IP Security and SSL VPN for safe off-site connections and is significantly higher performing than the Advanced Integration Modules available with Cisco 2800 series routers. The high-end Cisco 2951 ISR G2 router can handle 600 Session Initiation Protocol sessions. Wired and wireless connectivity options include T1/E1, T3/E3, ADSL and SDSL, plus 1 GigE.
