Cisco Certified Network Consulting

As technology advances, the distinction between a router and a switch is becoming less clear. Fundamentally, routers are Layer 3 products designed to connect networks with one another. A typical scenario is connecting an office Ethernet network to the Internet via DSL. Switches are L2 devices that interconnect various devices within a network. Basically, routers rely on CPUs to steer traffic based on complex algorithms, providing intelligence at the cost of speed. Switches, by comparison, depend on mostly fixed hardware configurations to send traffic at the fastest possible rate. Today's routers typically include Layer 2 switching capability, and many modern switches include Layer 3 routing functionality. Routers developed by Cisco, the source of 90% of the industry's routers, have advanced dramatically in function and speed and Cisco makes an extensive portfolio that features routers built to meet the needs of users ranging from individual telecommuters to the world's largest service providers.

The latest Integrated Services Routers released by Cisco have the performance and built-in features to support data voice and video as well as virtualization while also offering high availability, web-based management, easy extensibility, and advanced security and compliance.
