Cisco Certified Network Consulting

As computer technology progresses, the difference between router and switch products is becoming less clear. At heart, routers are Layer 3 (L3) devices that connect networks. A common scenario is connecting a small business Ethernet network to the Internet via DSL. Switches are L2 devices that interconnect client devices that share the same network. Basically, routers rely on CPUs to send data using complex software, providing intelligence at the expense of speed. Switches, in contrast, rely upon mostly fixed hardware configurations to steer traffic at the highest feasible speed. Today's routers usually incorporate L2 switches, and many of today’s switches have Layer 3 routing capability. Routers offered by Cisco, the supplier of 90% of the world's routers, have advanced dramatically in function and speed and Cisco offers a comprehensive portfolio that features routers designed to meet the requirements of users ranging from individual telecommuters to nationwide ISPs.

The most recent Integrated Services Routers from Cisco have the speed and integrated features to support data voice and video as well as virtualization while at the same time offering high availability, remote management, seamless expandability, and enhanced security and compliance. These routers enable you to build a firm foundation for an information network that can grow smoothly as you add new employees, open extra sites, configure new services, extend your system to clients and vendors, and build an an increasingly mobile workforce. Progent’s Cisco qualified CCIE network engineers offer immediate and economical remote expertise to assist your company to select, deploy, manage, update, and troubleshoot Cisco's latest router technology and can help you to support your older routers or migrate non-disruptively to Cisco’s newer router products.

Progent’s remote support specialists have in-depth backgrounds delivering immediate and economical technical assistance for small businesses to configure and maintain these routers, and Progent’s Cisco-certified CCIE network engineers can help your company to understand ways Cisco’s entry-level routers can increase the strategic value of your IT system.

Cisco RV Series VPN Routers
Cisco's economical RV Series Routers are engineered to offer small businesses with VPN technology that permits telecommuters and mobile workers to access a network via secure tunneling. Models in the Cisco RV Series Routers can support up to 100 VPN tunnels, incorporate 4-, 8-, or 16-port Ethernet switches, have built-in firewalls with advanced data encryption, and allow browser-based configuration for remote deployment and management. All RV Series devices support fast Ethernet and some models support Gigabit Ethernet. Both wired and wireless versions are available. These routers do not support Cisco’s IOS control software.

Cisco’s RV042 Dual WAN VPN Router includes a 4-port 10/100 switch and can safely handle as many as 50 remote offices or off-site users through Internet Protocol Security or PPTP VPN tunneling. Cisco's G version supports Gigabit Ethernet. The Cisco RV082 VPN Router has an 8-port 10/100 Ethernet switch and can manage as many as 100 remote offices or online workers via full IPsec VPN. The Cisco RV016 Multi WAN VPN Router model features 16 10/100 Ethernet ports, accommodates 100 remote connections, and lets up to seven switched ports to be configured for load balancing or for service provider failover to provide non-stop Internet access.

Later products in Cisco's portfolio of RV Series Wired/Wireless Routers include the RV110W wired/Wireless-N VPN with a 4-port switch and support for four VLANs, the Cisco RV130W Wireless-N VPN Router with a 4-port Gigabit Ethernet switch and support for 12000 Concurrent sessions, the Cisco RV220W wired/Wireless-N Network Security Firewall with a 4-port Gigabit switch and support for 25 VPN connections, and the Cisco 320 RV320 Dual Gigabit WAN VPN Router that includes a 4-port Gigabit switch and redundant Gigabit WAN ports for load balancing and business continuity.

Cisco 800 Series ISR Routers
Cisco's comprehensive line of 800 Series ISR routers is made up of desktop appliances designed and priced for small businesses, branch offices, retail venues, teleworkers, and clients of ISPs. Many models in Cisco's 800 product line have been developed with various options over many years. Cisco's 881 Series of ISR routers suggests the vast selection of options available within Cisco's 800 Series line of routers. Models in Cisco's 881 router portfolio can support converged media environments by providing IP voice and video, Wi-Fi and cellular wireless and data in a single integrated appliance. Built-in data protection can include encryption, VPN, firewall, and URL filtering. For survivability, available features for 881 ISR routers include duplicate WAN connections or support for landline high-speed WAN links like DSL as well as multiple cellular 3G and 4G wireless WAN connections all built into one appliance.

The baseline Cisco 881 router has a 4-port fast Ethernet managed switch with up to 15 Mbps performance, support for 20 users, 2-port integrated PoE, and IPv6 support.

With a Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE) license, the Cisco 881 ISR router supports SIP trunk connectivity as a replacement for legacy Primary Rate Interface (PRI) lines or foreign exchange-office (FXO) voice connectivity to a PSTN service provider. SIP trunks can also connect remote call agents in Cisco Call Center environments.

Cisco Integrated Services G2 Routers
Cisco's Integrated Services Generation 2 routers are designed to offer satellite offices of large businesses with enhanced collaboration, virtualization, security, and dependable connectivity. ISR Generation 2 routers introduce a design that protects prior investments in modules for older Integrated Services Routers and reduces future expenses by permitting field installation of additional modules as they are developed. Compared to previous ISR routers, Cisco's Integrated Services G2 routers offer 2-7 times more performance, far greater expandability, and easier maintenance. All Cisco ISR G2 routers offer gigabit switching and include multi-core CPUs and multigigabit fabric for higher throughput. Integrated Services G2 routers also support intelligent power management for better energy conservation.

A major advance with ISR Generation 2 routers is the Cisco IOS Universal image which contains all of the IOS technology sets so that you can quickly authorize and activate extra functions when desired without needing to download and copy a new IOS image to yourCisco router. Progent's group of CCIE-certified network engineers offer proven expertise to help you to design, implement, and support multi-location installations of Cisco ISR Generation 2 routers that improve branch office efficiency and reduce the price of upgrades and support.

Default dynamic RAM size is 256 megabytes vs. 128 MB and maximum DRAM capacity is 2.25 gigabytes compared to 384 megabytes. Unlike the 1841 router, the 1900 Series ISR G2 routers include a USB console instead of the older DB-9 connector and has a slot for the new ISM module rather than a slot for the older and slower AIM module. Unlike top-of-the-line ISR G2 routers, the 1941 Series ISR G2 routers do not allow redundant power or add-in slots for PVDM modules.

Cisco 2900 ISR G2 Routers
Cisco 2900 ISR G2 Routers are released in four versions which correspond to the routers in Cisco’s successful 2800 router series. Cisco’s 2901, 2911, 2921, and 2951 ISR G2 routers include integrated hardware encryption acceleration, voice and video ready DSP slots, optional Cisco IOS firewall, Cisco IOS intrusion prevention, voice mail, and from 16 to 50 LAN switches. The on-board encryption circuitry supports IPsec and SSL VPN for protected remote connections and is dramatically faster than the Advanced Integration Modules supported by Cisco 2800 routers. The top-of-the-line 2951 Series Integrated Services G2 router can handle 600 Session Initiation Protocol sessions. Connectivity options include T1/E1, T3/E3, xDSL, plus copper and fiber GbE.

2911, 2921, and 2951 Integrated Services G2 routers support Cisco’s Enhanced EtherSwitch Service Modules, providing high-performance capability identical to the Catalyst 2960 and Catalyst 3650-E Series Switches. Compared to the previous Cisco 2821 Integrated Services router which the 2921 ISR G2 router is intended to replace, the 2921 router is offered standard with 256 megabytes as opposed to 64 megabytes of CompactFlash memory and can be expanded to 4GB compared to 256 MB. Default DRAM capacity is 512 megabytes vs. 256 and maximum dynamic RAM capacity is 2.5 gigabytes vs. 1 gigabytes.

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