Cisco Certified Expert Network Consultants

As computer technology advances, the distinction between routers and switches has grown blurred. At heart, routers are Layer 3 devices that 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 client devices within a network. Basically, routers depend on processors to forward traffic using sophisticated software, offering versatility at the cost of speed. Switches, in contrast, rely upon largely fixed hardware designs to steer data at the highest possible rate. Today's routers typically include L2 switches, and many of today’s switches include L3 routing capability. Routers offered by Cisco, the source of the vast majority of the industry's routers, have improved significantly in function and performance and Cisco makes a comprehensive product line that includes routers engineered to handle the requirements of customers from households to the world's largest ISPs.

The most recent Integrated Services Routers from Cisco have the performance and integrated features to manage data voice and video as well as virtual environments while also providing fault tolerance, web-based administration, easy scalability, and enhanced protection. These routers enable you to establish a solid basis for an IT environment that can evolve seamlessly as you add more employees, open new sites, deploy new services, give access to your network to customers and partners, and build an expanding mobile user base. Progent’s Cisco qualified CCIE network engineers can provide fast and affordable remote support to assist you to plan, configure, administer, update, and troubleshoot Cisco's latest router technology and can assist you to maintain your legacy routers or migrate efficiently to Cisco’s current networking products.

Default DRAM size is 256 MB vs. 128 MB and maximum dynamic RAM capacity is 2.25 GB instead of 384 megabytes. Unlike the 1841 router, the 1900 ISR G2 routers include a USB console instead of the older DB-9 interface and includes an add-in slot for the new ISM module to replace the slot for the previous and slower AIM module. Unlike higher end ISR G2 routers, the Cisco 1941 and 1941W Integrated Services G2 routers do not allow redundant power or add-in slots for PVDM modules.

2900 Series ISR G2 Routers
2900 Series Integrated Services G2 Routers are available in four models which correspond to the routers in Cisco’s successful 2800 router family. Cisco’s 2900 Integrated Services G2 routers offer on-board hardware encryption, voice and video ready Digital Signal Processor slots, optional firewall, Cisco IOS intrusion prevention, call processing, and from 16 up to 50 modular Ethernet switches. The integrated encryption hardware supports IP Security and Secure Sockets Layer VPN for safe remote connections and is significantly higher performing than the AIM modules available with 2800 routers. The high-end 2951 Series Integrated Services G2 router can handle 600 Session Initiation Protocol sessions. Wired and wireless connectivity alternatives include T1/E1, T3/E3, ADSL and SDSL, plus Gigabit Ethernet.

2900 Series ISR G2 routers accommodate the Cisco Enhanced EtherSwitch Service Modules, providing high-throughput features identical to the Catalyst 2960 and Catalyst 3650-E Series Switches. In comparison to the older 2821 Integrated Services router that the Cisco 2921 ISR G2 router is designed to replace, the 2921 is offered by default with 256 MB vs. 64 megabytes of CompactFlash storage and can be loaded with up to 4GB instead of 256 megabytes. Standard DRAM size is 512 MB vs. 256 and maximum DRAM capacity is 2.5 gigabytes vs. only 1.

3900 Series Integrated Services G2 Routers
Cisco has released four models for the top-of-the-line 3900 Series ISR G2 router, the 3925, 3945, 3925E, and 3945E. These models deliver the top throughput and slot densities in Cisco’s ISR G2 family and support high-speed DSPs for the most resource-intensive voice/video applications, fast integrated encryption, a wide selection of interface options, a maximum 98 modular LAN Switchports, and up to 2,500 SIP sessions. To protect your IT investment, the Cisco 3900 Series ISR G2 routers support Cisco’s Services Performance Engine (SPE), a modular motherboard that can be replaced in the field to improve throughput without requiring your business to buy another router. Like other ISR G2 routers, Cisco’s 3900 Series also protects previous network investments by being compatible with most of the service modules from first-generation Cisco Integrated Services Routers. For improved fault tolerance, Cisco 3900 ISR G2 support dual power supplies.

Compared to the previous model 3825 Integrated Services router which the Cisco 2921 Integrated Services G2 router is designed to substitute for, the Cisco 3925 is offered standard with 256 MB vs. 64 megabytes of flash memory and can be loaded with up to 4 gigabytes compared to 256 megabytes.

The Cisco 1800 Series architecture has been especially developed to meet the needs of small-to-medium-sized organizations, branch offices, and service provider-managed services applications for access to simultaneous services at high performance. The integrated services systems design of the Cisco 1800 Series offers optimum flexibility and fast ROI.

Cisco's 1841 router offers important advantages relative to prior generations of 1700 Series routers by bringing more than a 5x speed improvement plus built-in hardware encryption activated by an optional IOS Software protection image. The Cisco 1841 device dramatically improves interface card slot performance and density in comparison to Cisco's 1700 Series while providing compatibility with over 30 available WAN interface cards (WICs) and multiflex trunk cards (voice/WICs (VWICs)-for data only). The 1841 device provides further enhancement of VPN performance via an optional Virtual Private Network acceleration add-in; IPS and firewall functions; support for a broad range of interface requirements, such as support for optional integrated switch ports; and enough speed and slot capacity for ongoing network expansion and advanced applications.

2800 Integrated Services Routers
Targeted at small to medium-sized organizations and enterprise satellite offices, Cisco's 2800 Series routers consists of several basic versions: the 2801, the Cisco 2811 route, the 2821, and the Cisco 2851 router. Cisco's 2800 Series routers provide substantial additional value compared to prior generations of Cisco devices at similar price points by offering as much as a 5x throughput increase, up to a 10 times increase in security and voice speed, integrated service options, and dramatically increased slot performance and density while preserving compatibility with the vast majority of the almost 100 popular expansion modules available today for Cisco's 1700 Series, the 2600 Series, and the Cisco 3700 devices.

Cisco's 2800 provides a range of popular security features such as a Cisco IOS Software Firewall, an intrusion prevention, IP security Virtual Private Network, Secure Sockets Layer Virtual Private Network, powerful application inspection and control, Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol V 2.0, and SNMPv3 in a single secure solution. Also, by incorporating security features directly into the router itself, Cisco can provide unique smart protection functions other security appliances cannot, such as network admissions control (NAC) for antivirus defense; Voice and Video Enabled VPN for quality-of-service enforcement when combining voice, video, and VPN; DMVPN; Group Encrypted Transport; and Easy VPN for supporting more expandable and manageable VPN networks.

Organizations can use the Cisco 2800 Series router to deploy an integrated IP telephony environment for as many as 96 IP phones, and can securely combine data, voice, and IP telephony on one platform for their small-to-medium sized branch offices.

Cisco 3800 ISR Routers
