BENEFITS AND ADVANTAGES

Enhanced Architecture

The Cisco 3800 Series offers two new modular platforms optimized for the secure delivery of concurrent voice, video, and data.The integrated services architecture of the Cisco 3800 Series builds on the highly successful Cisco 3700 Series design, and adds embedded security and voice processing to a highly modular system that is optimized for rapid deployment of intelligent network services and converged communications.The Cisco 3800 Series supports the bandwidth requirements for multiple Fast Ethernet interfaces per slot, time-division multiplexing (TDM) interconnec- tions, and fully integrated power distribution to modules supporting 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE), while supporting the existing portfolio of modular interfaces.

Integrated Switching

With support for up to 48 ports of integrated switching with inline power, the Cisco

3800 Series offers an excellent platform for combining two of the most common components of any network infrastructure.The Cisco 3800 Series supports both the 16- and

36-port Cisco EtherSwitch®, and supports the new 802.3af (PoE) standard, with new 4- and

9-port EtherSwitch high-density WAN interface cards (HWICs), which can provide power to any 802.3af-compliant devices, expanding the number and types of devices that can be powered from the router’s integrated switch ports. An optional upgrade to the internal power supply provides power to the integrated switch ports.
