Cisco Certified Network Consulting

As technology advances, the distinction between a router and a switch has grown blurred. Fundamentally, routers are Layer 3 (L3) products that connect different networks. A typical scenario is connecting a small business Ethernet network to the Internet. Switches are L2 devices that interface client devices within a network. Generally, routers rely on processors to forward traffic using sophisticated software, offering intelligence at the expense of speed. Switches, in contrast, rely on largely predefined hardware configurations to steer data at the fastest possible speed. Today's routers typically come with Layer 2 switches, and many modern switches have L3 routing capability. Routers developed by Cisco, the producer of 90% of the industry's routers, have improved significantly in function and performance and Cisco makes an extensive product line that includes routers designed to handle the needs of users from households to nationwide ISPs.

The latest ISR routers from Cisco offer the speed and built-in functionality to manage IP voice and video plus virtual environments while at the same time offering high availability, web-based administration, seamless scalability, and enhanced protection. These routers allow your business to establish a firm foundation for an information network that can evolve seamlessly as you add new employees, establish new sites, deploy additional functions, extend your system to clients and partners, and support an an increasingly mobile user base. Progent’s Cisco CCIE network engineers offer immediate and affordable online support to assist you to plan, configure, manage, upgrade, and support Cisco's latest routers and can help you to support your older routers or move non-disruptively to Cisco’s newer router solutions.
