SECURITY

Cisco 3700 Series

The Cisco 3700 Series is a line of modular routers that enable flexible and scalable deployment of new applications in an integrated branch office access platform. The Cisco 3700 Series is ideal for sites and solutions requiring the highest levels of integration at the branch for security, IP Telephony, voice gateway, and integrated flexible routing and switching solutions. The Cisco 3700 Series provides a consoli- dated service infrastructure and high service density in a compact form factor that enables the incremental integration of branch applications.

BENEFITS AND ADVANTAGES

High Service Density

This series introduces a new, wider interface form factor—the High Density Services Module (HDSM). With four network module (NM) slots, the Cisco 3745 can accept two HDSMs by removing the center guides between each pair of adjacent NM slots. With two NM slots, the Cisco 3725 can accept an HDSM in one while still leaving the other NM slot free. Each model also offers three WAN interface card (WIC) slots and two advanced integration module (AIM) slots.

Integration of Content Networking and Branch-office Routing

With the integration of an optional Content Engine Network Module with branch-office routing, Cisco offers the industry’s first and only router-integrated content-delivery system. Combining intelligent caching, content routing and management with robust branch-office routing, WAN bandwidth is conserved for important branch IP services such as voice over IP (VoIP), while simplifying configuration, deployment, and operations.

Integrated Flexible Routing and Low-density Switching

When configured with the 16- or 36-port EtherSwitch® Module, the Cisco 3700 Series offers a single, integrated platform that combines flexible routing and low-density switching.This offers high-speed connections between individual desktops, servers, and other network resources in a single unit for Layer 2, and allows WAN connection at Layer 3 through the router. An optional internal power supply provides power to IP phones and Cisco Aironet 802.11 base stations.

Versatility/Investment Protection

More than 70 WICs and network modules are shared with the Cisco 1700, 2600, and 3600 Series products.The advanced integration module (AIM) slot offers expandability

for integration of advanced services, such as hardware-assisted data compression, encryption, voice, and ATM.
