Cisco Certified Expert Network Consulting and Support

As technology progresses, the difference between a router and a switch is becoming less clear. Fundamentally, routers are Layer 3 products designed to connect networks. A common scenario is connecting an office Ethernet network to the Internet via DSL. Switches are instead L2 devices that interface client devices that share the same network. Basically, routers rely on CPUs to steer traffic using complex software, providing versatility at the cost of speed. Switches, by comparison, rely upon largely predefined hardware designs to forward traffic at the highest possible rate. Today's routers usually include L2 switching capability, and many of today’s switches have Layer 3 routing capability. Routers developed by Cisco, the supplier of 90% of the world's routers, have advanced dramatically in capability and performance and Cisco makes an extensive product line that includes routers built to handle the requirements of customers ranging from households to nationwide service providers.

The latest ISR routers released by Cisco offer the performance and built-in functionality to support data voice and video plus virtualization while at the same time providing fault tolerance, remote management, easy scalability, and enhanced security and compliance. Cisco's ISR routers enable your business to establish a firm basis for an information environment that can evolve seamlessly as you add new employees, open extra offices, activate additional functions, extend your system to customers and vendors, and support an an increasingly mobile user base. Progent’s Cisco qualified CCIE network engineers can provide fast and economical online support to help you to plan, deploy, administer, update, and troubleshoot Cisco's latest router technology and can assist you to support your older routers or move efficiently to Cisco’s current networking solutions.

Connectivity options for the 1900 Series ISR G2 routers include T1/E1, xDSL, 3G, and GE.

Compared to the previous 1841 Integrated Services router which they are able to substitute for, the Cisco 1941 and 1941W ISR G2 routers include 256 megabytes vs. 32 of flash storage as standard, and this can be increased to 4 gigabytes instead of 128 megabytes. Standard DRAM capacity is 256 MB compared to 128 and maximum DRAM size is 2.25 gigabytes compared to 384 megabytes. Unlike the 1841 router, the Cisco 1941 and 1941W ISR G2 routers feature a USB console in place of the outdated DB-9 connector and has an add-in slot for the recently introduced ISM module instead of a slot for the older and lower performance AIM module. In contrast to higher end ISR Generation 2 routers, the Cisco 1941 and 1941W Integrated Services G2 routers do not support redundant power or add-in slots for PVDM modules.

Cisco 2900 Integrated Services G2 Routers
2900 Series ISR G2 Routers are released in four models which correspond to the routers in Cisco’s popular 2800 router series. Cisco’s 2900 Integrated Services G2 routers include on-board hardware encryption, voice and video ready DSP slots, optional firewall, Cisco IOS intrusion prevention, voice mail, and from 16 up to 50 Ethernet switchports. The integrated encryption hardware supports IP Security and SSL VPN tunneling for safe remote access and is significantly higher performing than the AIM modules available with 2800 routers. The top-of-the-line 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 1 GigE.

2900 Series ISR G2 routers accommodate Cisco’s Enhanced EtherSwitch Service Modules, providing high-throughput features identical to the Catalyst 2960 and Catalyst 3650-E Series Switches.
