WHEN TO DEPLOY

an ISDN port on the Cisco 836 router for out of band management; and Secure Shell Protocol (SSH) for secure in-band management via Telnet. For scalability in deployment and management, the Cisco Router Web Setup tool (CRWS) or SDM allows non-technical users to quickly set up the router and turn on key features such as the stateful firewall. Cisco also provides a suite of solutions—such as Cisco Easy VPN, Cisco IE2100 management appliance, Cisco VPN Solution Center (VPN SC), Cisco Router Management Center (Router MC), and Cisco Configuration Express—that allow for

For reliable access, the virtual AUX port on the Cisco 831 and Cisco 837 and Cisco 836 can be used for dial backup with an external modem, should the primary WAN connection fail.The Cisco 836 offers this same functionality but with an integrated ISDN port also. Dynamic DNS feature is available on Cisco 830 routers which enables the router to be accessible from outside using a DNS name even when the WAN IP address changes frequently. Additionally, the Cisco 800 Series runs Cisco IOS Software, the industry-proven software that has become the standard for reliable business access.

The Cisco 800 Series is recommended when you need to deploy:

Managed firewall and VPNs for small remote offices and teleworkers

High-performance VPNs over DSL or cable (Cisco 831 or Cisco 837) with AUX port functionality for remote sites or with ADSL over ISDN and an integrated ISDN port (Cisco 836)

QoS features for voice, video, and mission- critical applications

Simple to deploy and setup with Cisco Easy VPN support

VoIP with IP Phones (Cisco 831, 836, or 837) or integrated VoIP ports (827-4V)

The proven reliability and manageability of Cisco IOS Software

scalable network deployment and management, including automated security policy push, and configuration updates.

Cisco Systems is a key player in the networking and communications industry, and its wide range of routers is a testament to its innovation and reliability. Among the most prominent models are the 7400, 7200, and 7300 Series routers, each with distinct features, technologies, and strengths that cater to diverse performance needs.

The Cisco 7400 Series router is designed for service providers seeking high performance and scalability in their core and edge networks. It supports up to 1.2 Terabits per second of throughput, making it well-suited for handling large volumes of data traffic. One of its hallmark features is the support for advanced service chaining, allowing operators to deploy a mix of virtual and physical functions seamlessly. Additionally, the router supports redundant power supplies and fans, ensuring high availability and reliability. The 7400 Series is also equipped with advanced security features including integrated threat intelligence capabilities, which help protect against cyber threats while maintaining the quality of service.

Next, the 7200 Series is well-known for its versatility in both enterprise and service provider environments. It supports a variety of WAN interfaces and is capable of handling multiple protocols, including IP, Frame Relay, and ATM. This router provides modularity, allowing users to tailor the hardware configuration to their specific needs with interchangeable interface cards. The 7200 Series is optimized for voice and data convergence, making it ideal for businesses that require robust support for unified communications. Additionally, it features enhanced security options, including Cisco IOS Firewall and IPS services to safeguard data integrity.

Finally, the Cisco 7300 Series router excels in providing high-performance routing for enterprises and service providers, particularly in edge routing scenarios. It offers a balance between performance and cost, with a processing capability that meets the demands of growing bandwidth needs. The 7300 Series supports various interfaces for both synchronous and asynchronous communication, making it a flexible choice for integrated network environments. It is designed to support IPv6, which is increasingly important for modern networking as organizations transition towards next-generation Internet architectures.

In summary, Cisco's 7400, 7200, and 7300 Series routers are built to meet the needs of a range of users, from large-scale service providers to medium-sized businesses. Each model brings unique capabilities to the table, providing solutions that prioritize performance, scalability, and security. As organizations continue to evolve their networking capabilities, Cisco's routers remain a go-to choice for reliable and advanced networking infrastructure.
