Cisco 2600 Series
The Cisco 2600 series is an award-winning family of modular
multiservice access routers, providing flexible LAN and WAN
configurations, multiple security options, voice/data integration, and a range of high
performance processors.
The Cisco 2600 series family of modular routers include the Cisco 2600XM models, the
Cisco 2691 and the Cisco 2612 token ring router. These models deliver extended
performance, higher density, enhanced security performance and increased concurrent
application support to meet the growing demands of branch offices.
The Cisco 2600XM models are based on the classic Cisco 2600 platform architecture, and
extend the performance by as much as 33%. They also increase default platform memory
and provide increases in memory capacity at the same price as their Cisco 2600 predecessor.
