Investment Protection and Versatility

The Cisco 3800 Series provides significant additional value compared to prior generations of Cisco routers at similar price points by offering up to three times the performance, new embedded service options, and dramati- cally increased slot performance and density while maintaining support for most of the more than 90 existing modules that are available today for the Cisco 3600 Series and Cisco

3700 Series.This helps to ensure continuing investment protection to accommodate network expansion or changes in technology as new services and applications are deployed. By integrating the functions of multiple separate devices into a single, compact unit, Cisco 3800 Series integrated services routers dramatically reduce the cost and complexity of managing remote networks.The Cisco 3800 Series delivers multiple concurrent services at wire-speed performance of up toT3/E3 speeds.The Cisco

embedded security and voice processing for reliable delivery of mission-critical traffic such as VoIP, business video, and collaborative communications.

The Cisco 3845 is engineered to help customers effectively scale deployment of services, offering the following hardware features:

• Two built-in autosensing 10/100/1000 ports

• One small form-factor pluggable (SFP) slot

• Two built-in USB ports

• Four network module slots for single-wide or

extended network modules, two double-wide

or extended double-wide network modules

(NME-XD), or two extension voice/fax

modules (EVM-HD)

• Four single-wide or two double-wide HWICs

• Two advanced integration modules (AIMs)

• Four Packet Voice DSP Modules (PVDM) slots

for voice processing

Secure Networking

Integrated on the motherboard of every Cisco 3800 Series router is hardware-based encryption acceleration that offloads the encryption processes to provide greater IPsec throughput with less overhead for the router CPU when compared with software-based solutions.The integration of optional VPN modules (for enhanced performance and tunnel count), content-engine network modules for URL filtering, or intrusion prevention network modules, combined with the rich Cisco IOS Software security feature set that includes firewall, network access control (NAC), voice- and video-enabled VPN (V3PN), intrusion prevention, and Dynamic Multipoint VPN (DMVPN), Cisco offers the industry’s most robust and adaptable security solution for branch office routers.

IP Telephony

The Cisco 3800 Series allows network managers to provide scalable analog and digital telephony without investing in a one-time solution, giving enterprises greater control of their converged telephony needs. Using voice and fax modules, the Cisco 3800 Series can be deployed for appli- cations ranging from VoIP and voice-over-Frame Relay (VoFR) transport to robust, centralized solutions using the Cisco Survivable Remote SiteTelephony (SRST) solution or distributed call processing using Cisco CallManager Express (CCME).The architecture is highly scalable with the ability to support up to 24T1/E1s trunks,

88 foreign-exchange-station (FXS) ports, or 56 foreign-exchange-office (FXO) ports concurrent with data routing and other services.

3845 features a removable motherboard, fan assembly, and supports high-availability features such as online insertion and removal (OIR) of like network modules, and redundant integrated system and inline power supplies.

Integrated Services

With the optional integration of numerous services modules, the Cisco 3800 Series offers the ability to easily integrate the functions of standalone network appliances and components into the Cisco 3800 Series chassis itself. Many of these modules, such as the Cisco Network Analysis Module, Cisco Unity Express™ Voice Mail Module, Cisco Intrusion Prevention Module, and Cisco Content Engine Module, have embedded processors and hard drives that allow them to run largely independently of the router while allowing management from a single management interface.This flexibility greatly expands the potential applications of the Cisco 3800 Series beyond traditional routing, while maintaining the benefits of integration. The Cisco 3845 Integrated Services Router is optimized for the concurrent delivery of voice, video, and data atT3 wire-rate performance. The architecture provides high-performance

• Onboard IP Security (IPsec) acceleration

• 802.3af-compliant inline power for IP phones

or wireless access points

The Cisco 3825 is engineered to help customers effectively scale deployment of services, offering the following hardware features:

•Two built-in autosensing 10/100/1000 ports

•One SFP slot

•Two built-in USB ports

•Two network module slots for single-wide or extended network modules, one double-wide or extended double-wide network module (NME-XD), or one extension voice/fax module (EVM-HD)

•Four single-wide or two double-wide HWICs
