Manageability

Cisco 890 Series Routers support a whole suite of management tools to provide ease of use. Tools such as Cisco Configuration Professional use smart wizards and task-based tutorials, which resellers and customers can use to quickly and easily deploy, configure, and monitor a Cisco access router without requiring knowledge of the Cisco IOS Software command-line interface (CLI).

Table 2 lists the features and benefits of the Cisco 890 Series Routers.

Benefit

●Router performance allows customers to take advantage of broadband network speeds while running secure, concurrent data, voice, video, and wireless services.

●Integrated ports offer flexibility in Ethernet WAN access, and the additional capability to deploy redundant WAN connections for failover protections and load balancing.

●Refer to Table 1 for details about the WAN interface.

●Fully managed LAN switch ports connect multiple LAN devices and reduce the need for an additional LAN switch.

●The Cisco 891, 892, and 892F support 10/100BASE-T.

●The Cisco 892FSP, 896VA, 897VA, and 898EA support 10/100/1000BASE-T.

●Refer to Table 1 for details about the backup WAN interface.

●A built-in, real-time clock maintains an accurate date and time for applications that require an accurate time stamp, such as logging and digital certificates.

●An integrated stateful and application inspection firewall provides network perimeter security.

●High-speed IPsec 3DES and AES encryption offers data privacy over the Internet.

●Intrusion prevention enforces security policy in a larger enterprise or service provider network.

●Web Security is supported with Cisco ScanSafe deployments.

●The Cisco 890 Series offers a secure, integrated access point in a single device. It supports both autonomous and unified modes. It is backward-compatible with 802.11a/b/g.

●The router supports IEEE 802.11n draft 2.0 and uses multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) technology that provides increased throughput, reliability, and predictability.

●Refer to Table 1 for details about Wi-Fi options.

●One auxiliary and one console port enable remote configuration and management.

●The router has two USB 2.0 flash memory or security eTokens. Integrated USB ports can be configured to work with an optional USB token for off-platform storage of VPN credentials or for deployment of
