Cisco Certified Network Consultants

As technology progresses, the distinction between router and switch products is becoming less clear. Essentially, routers are Layer 3 products that connect networks. A typical scenario is connecting a small business Ethernet network to the Internet. Switches are Layer 2 (L2) devices that interconnect various devices within a network. Generally, routers depend on computation to send data using complex software, providing versatility at the cost of speed. Switches, by comparison, rely upon mostly fixed hardware designs to move data at the fastest feasible speed. Today's routers usually come with L2 switches, and many of today’s switches have some Layer 3 routing functionality. Routers developed by Cisco, the source of the vast majority of the industry's routers, have advanced significantly in capability and performance and Cisco makes a comprehensive product line that includes routers built to meet the needs of customers ranging from households to nationwide service providers.

The latest ISR routers released by Cisco offer the performance and integrated features to manage data voice and video plus virtual environments while also providing fault tolerance, web-based administration, seamless scalability, and enhanced security and compliance.
