Cisco Expert Network Consulting

As technology progresses, the difference between routers and switches is becoming fuzzier. At heart, routers are Layer 3 devices that connect networks. 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. Basically, routers depend on processors to forward data using complex algorithms, offering intelligence at the expense of speed. Switches, on the other hand, depend on mostly fixed hardware designs to move traffic at the fastest possible rate. The current generation of routers typically include Layer 2 switches, and many of today’s switches have some Layer 3 routing capability. Routers offered by Cisco, the producer of the vast majority of the industry's routers, have improved dramatically in capability and performance and Cisco now makes an extensive product line that features routers engineered to handle the requirements of customers from individual telecommuters to the world's largest ISPs.

The latest Integrated Services Routers released by Cisco offer the speed and integrated functionality to support data voice and video as well as virtualization while also offering fault tolerance, web-based administration, easy expandability, and advanced protection. These routers enable you to build a solid foundation for an information network that can evolve smoothly as you hire more workers, establish new offices, deploy additional services, extend your network to customers and partners, and build an an increasingly mobile workforce. Progent’s Cisco CCIE network consultants offer fast and affordable remote expertise to help you to select, configure, administer, upgrade, and support Cisco's latest routers and can assist you to maintain your older routers or migrate efficiently to Cisco’s current networking solutions.

Default dynamic RAM capacity is 256 MB compared to 128 MB and top DRAM capacity is 2.25 gigabytes compared to 384 MB. In contrast to the 1841 router, the 1900 ISR G2 routers feature a USB console instead of the older DB-9 interface and has an add-in slot for the new Internal Services Module instead of a slot for the older and slower Advanced Integration Module. In contrast to higher end Integrated Services G2 routers, the 1941 Series ISR G2 routers do not allow redundant power or add-in slots for Packet Voice and fax DSP Modules.

Cisco 2900 ISR G2 Routers
Cisco 2900 Series Integrated Services G2 Routers are available in four models which correspond to the models in Cisco’s successful 2800 router series. Cisco’s 2901, 2911, 2921, and 2951 ISR G2 routers offer on-board hardware encryption, voice and video ready Digital Signal Processor slots, optional firewall, IOS intrusion prevention, voice mail, and from 16 to 50 modular LAN switches. The on-board encryption hardware supports IPsec and SSL VPN tunneling for safe off-site access and is dramatically higher performing than the AIM modules available with 2800 series routers. The top-of-the-line Cisco 2951 Integrated Services G2 router supports 600 SIP sessions. Wired and wireless connectivity options include T1/E1, T3/E3, ADSL and SDSL, as well as GE.

Cisco 2900 Integrated Services G2 routers accommodate Cisco’s Enhanced EtherSwitch Service Modules, offering high-throughput capability that match the Catalyst 2960 and Catalyst 3650-E Series Switches. In comparison to the older 2821 ISR router that the Cisco 2921 Integrated Services G2 router is designed to replace, the 2921 is offered by default with 256 MB as opposed to 64 MB of CompactFlash memory and can be expanded to 4 gigabytes vs. 256 MB. Standard DRAM capacity is 512 MB vs. 256 and maximum DRAM capacity is 2.5 GB vs. only 1.

Cisco 3900 Series Integrated Services G2 Routers
Cisco offers four models for the high-end 3900 Series ISR Generation 2 router, the 3925, 3945, 3925E, and 3945E.
