Secure Network Connectivity for Data, Voice, and Video

Security has become a fundamental building block of any network. Routers play an important role in any network

defense strategy because security needs to be embedded throughout the network. The Cisco 2800 Series features

advanced, integrated, end-to-end security for the delivery of converged services and applications. With the Cisco

IOS

Software Advanced Security feature set, the Cisco 2800 provides a robust array of common security features

such as a Cisco IOS Software Firewall, intrusion prevention, IPSec VPN, Secure Socket Layer (SSL) VPN, advanced

application inspection and control, Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol Version 2.0, and Simple Network Management

Protocol (SNMPv3) in one secure solution set. Additionally, by integrating security functions directly into the

router itself, Cisco can provide unique intelligent security solutions other security devices cannot, such as network

admissions control (NAC) for antivirus defense; Voice and Video Enabled VPN (V3PN) for quality-of-service (QoS)

enforcement when combining voice, video, and VPN; and Dynamic Multipoint VPN (DMVPN), Group Encrypted

Transport (GET) VPN, and Easy VPN for enabling more scalable and manageable VPN networks. In addition,

Cisco offers a range of security acceleration hardware such as the intrusion-prevention network modules and

advanced integration modules (AIM) for encryption, making the Cisco 2800 Series the industry's most robust

and adaptable security solution available for branch offices. As Figure 2 demonstrates, using a Cisco 2800 Series

uniquely enables customers to deliver concurrent, mission-critical data, voice, and video applications with integrated,

end-to-end security at wire-speed performance.

Converged IP Communications

As shown in Figure 2, the Cisco 2800 Series can meet the IP Communications needs of small-to-medium sized

business and enterprise branch offices while concurrently delivering an industry-leading level of security within a

single routing platform. Cisco CallManager Express (CME) is an optional solution embedded in Cisco IOS Software

that provides call processing for Cisco IP phones, including wired and cordless WLAN phones. This solution is for

customers with data-connectivity requirements interested in deploying a converged IP telephony solution for up to

96 IP phones. With the Cisco 2800 Series, customers can securely deploy data, voice, and IP telephony on a single

platform for their small-to-medium sized branch offices, helping them to streamline their operations and lower their

network costs. The Cisco 2800 Series with optional Cisco CME support offers a core set of phone features that

customers require for their everyday business needs and takes advantage of the wide array of voice capabilities that

are embedded in the Cisco 2800 Series (as shown in Table 1) together with optional features available in Cisco IOS

Software to provide a robust IP telephony offering for the small to medium-sized branch-office environment.

Wireless Services

The Cisco 2800 Series can provide a complete wireless solution for branch offices, small/medium sized businesses,

and Wi-Fi hotspots. Wireless services enable greater mobility for employees, partners, and customers, resulting in

increased productivity. The Cisco 2800 Series supports an integrated access point for wireless LAN connectivity,

Wi-Fi Hotspot services for public access, wireless infrastructure services for cordless WLAN telephony and for

larger sites, and land mobile radio over IP for radio users.
