Cisco Expert Network Consultants

As technology advances, the difference between a router and a switch has grown less clear. Fundamentally, routers are Layer 3 devices that connect networks. A common example is connecting a small business Ethernet network to the Internet. Switches are Layer 2 (L2) devices that interconnect various devices that share the same network. Basically, routers depend on processors to steer traffic based on complex software, offering intelligence at the cost of speed. Switches, by comparison, rely upon largely predefined hardware configurations to forward traffic at the highest possible rate. Today's routers usually incorporate L2 switching capability, and many of today’s switches include some Layer 3 routing functionality. Routers offered by Cisco, the supplier of 90% of the industry's routers, have advanced significantly in function and speed and Cisco offers an extensive product line that includes routers built to meet the needs of users from households to the world's largest ISPs.

The latest ISR routers released by Cisco offer the speed and integrated functionality to manage IP voice and video as well as virtual environments while also offering fault tolerance, web-based administration, seamless expandability, and enhanced protection. These routers allow you to build a solid basis for an information environment that can evolve seamlessly as you add more workers, establish new sites, activate additional capabilities, extend your network to customers and vendors, and build an expanding mobile workforce. Progent’s Cisco certified CCIE network engineers offer immediate and affordable remote expertise to help your company to select, configure, manage, update, and support Cisco's latest routers and can help you to maintain your legacy routers or move non-disruptively to Cisco’s newer router products.

Compared to the previous generation 1841 ISR router which they are designed to replace, the 1900 Series ISR G2 routers have 256 megabytes vs. 32 MB of CompactFlash storage as a default, and this can be increased to 4 gigabytes instead of 128 megabytes. Default DRAM size is 256 megabytes instead of 128 MB and top dynamic RAM size is 2.25 GB vs. 384 megabytes. In contrast to the 1841 router, the 1900 Series ISR G2 routers feature a USB console instead of the older DB-9 connector and has a slot for the recently introduced Internal Services Module rather than a slot for the older and slower AIM module. Unlike higher end Integrated Services G2 routers, the Cisco 1941 and 1941W Integrated Services G2 routers do not support redundant power or add-in slots for Packet Voice and fax DSP Modules.

Cisco 2900 Series Integrated Services G2 Routers
Cisco 2900 Integrated Services G2 Routers are available in four models which correspond to the routers in Cisco’s popular 2800 router family. Cisco’s 2900 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 up to 50 modular Ethernet switches. The on-board encryption hardware provides IP Security and Secure Sockets Layer VPN tunneling for protected off-site access and is dramatically faster than the Advanced Integration Modules supported by 2800 routers. The high-end Cisco 2951 Integrated Services G2 router supports 600 Session Initiation Protocol sessions. Wired and wireless connectivity options include T1/E1, T3/E3, xDSL, plus copper and fiber GE.

2900 Integrated Services G2 routers accommodate the Cisco Enhanced EtherSwitch Service Modules, providing high-performance capability that match the Catalyst 2960 and Catalyst 3650-E Series Switches.
