Cisco Certified Network Consulting

As technology progresses, the distinction between a router and a switch is becoming less clear. Essentially, routers are Layer 3 (L3) devices that connect networks with one another. A typical example is connecting an office Ethernet network to the Internet via DSL. Switches are Layer 2 (L2) devices that interface various devices that share the same network. Generally, routers depend on processors to send traffic based on complex software, offering versatility at the cost of throughput. Switches, on the other hand, depend upon largely fixed hardware designs to move data at the highest possible rate. The current generation of routers ordinarily include L2 switching capability, and many modern switches have Layer 3 routing functionality. Routers developed by Cisco, the source of the vast majority of the world's routers, have advanced dramatically in function and speed and Cisco now makes a comprehensive portfolio that features routers designed to handle the requirements of users from households to nationwide ISPs.

The most recent Integrated Services Routers from Cisco have the speed and built-in features to manage data voice and video as well as virtualization while also offering high availability, remote administration, seamless scalability, and advanced protection. These routers allow your company to establish a firm basis for an information environment that can evolve seamlessly as you add new workers, open new offices, activate additional services, give access to your system to customers and partners, and build an expanding mobile user base. Progent’s Cisco CCIE network engineers can provide fast and affordable online support to assist you to select, configure, manage, upgrade, and troubleshoot Cisco's most advanced routers and can help you to support your older routers or migrate non-disruptively to Cisco’s newer router products.

These fixed-configuration desktop routers include at minimum four 10/100 Ethernet switches with Wi-Fi options plus built-in firewall to provide advanced protection. Built for easy setup, management, and support, Cisco’s entry-level routers minimize total cost of ownership by cutting equipment and maintenance expenses. Progent’s remote troubleshooting experts have in-depth experience providing immediate and affordable IT help for small organizations to configure and maintain these routers, and Progent’s CCIE-certified network consultants can assist you to understand whether and how these routers can increase the business value of your IT network.

Cisco RV Series VPN Routers
Cisco's affordably priced RV Series Routers are engineered to offer small businesses with VPN capability that allows telecommuters and mobile workers to connect to a network without compromising security. Devices in the Cisco RV Series Routers can handle from five to 100 VPN tunnels, incorporate 4-, 8-, or 16-port Ethernet switches, come with integrated firewalls with advanced encryption, and allow web-based setup for easy deployment and management. All models accommodate fast Ethernet and some models support Gigabit Ethernet. Both wired and wireless versions are offered. These VPN routers do not incorporate Cisco’s popular IOS platform.

The Cisco RV042 Dual WAN VPN Router includes a 4-port 10/100 Ethernet switch and can securely handle up to 50 branch offices or off-site users via IPsec or PPTP tunneling protocol. Cisco's G version can handle Gigabit Ethernet. The Cisco RV082 Dual WAN VPN Router features an 8-port 10/100 Ethernet switch and can support 100 remote offices or online users with full IPsec VPN.

In comparison to previous ISR routers, Cisco's ISR G2 routers feature 2-7 times more throughput, substantially more, and more affordable maintenance. All Cisco ISR G2 routers support Gbit switching and include multi-core CPUs and ultra-fast fabric for faster performance. Integrated Services G2 routers also support intelligent power management for better energy conservation.

A key advance with Integrated Services Generation 2 routers is the Cisco IOS Software Universal image which contains all of the IOS feature sets so that your company can rapidly authorize and deploy new features when required without needing to acquire and copy a new IOS image over to yourrouter. Progent's team of CCIE network consultants can provide world-class skills to help you to plan, implement, and maintain multi-location installations of Cisco Integrated Services Generation 2 routers that improve satellite office productivity and reduce the price of expansion and maintenance.

Default DRAM capacity is 256 megabytes vs. 128 and top DRAM capacity is 2.25 GB instead of 384 megabytes. In contrast to the 1841 router, the 1900 Series ISR G2 routers feature a USB console in place of the older DB-9 connector and includes an add-in slot for the new ISM module to replace the slot for the older and slower Advanced Integration Module. In contrast to top-of-the-line Integrated Services G2 routers, the 1941 Series Integrated Services G2 routers do not support redundant power supplies or slots for Packet Voice and fax DSP Modules.

Cisco 2900 Integrated Services G2 Routers
2900 ISR G2 Routers are available in four versions which are intended as upgrades to the models in Cisco’s popular 2800 router family. Cisco’s 2900 Integrated Services G2 routers include on-board hardware encryption acceleration, voice and video capable DSP slots, optional Cisco IOS firewall, Cisco IOS intrusion prevention, call processing, and from 16 to 50 LAN switches. The integrated encryption hardware supports IP Security and Secure Sockets Layer VPN tunneling for safe off-site connections and is dramatically higher performing than the AIM modules supported by 2800 routers. The top-of-the-line 2951 Series ISR G2 router supports 600 SIP sessions. Wired and wireless connectivity alternatives include T1/E1, T3/E3, ADSL and SDSL, plus copper and fiber GE.

2900 Series ISR G2 routers support the Cisco Enhanced EtherSwitch Service Modules, providing high-performance features that match the Catalyst 2960 and Catalyst 3650-E Series Switches. Compared to the older Cisco 2821 ISR router which the Cisco 2921 ISR G2 router is designed to substitute for, the Cisco 2921 is shipped standard with 256 MB as opposed to 64 MB of CompactFlash memory and can be expanded to 4GB vs. 256 megabytes. Standard dynamic RAM size is 512 MB vs. 256 MB and maximum DRAM capacity is 2.5 GB instead of 1 GB.

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