Routers & Gateways

The Cisco® 880 Series Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) combine Internet access, security, voice, and wireless services onto a single, secure device that is simple to use and manage for small businesses and enterprise small branch offices and teleworkers. The Cisco 880 Series delivers features including firewall, content filtering, VPNs, and wireless LANs (WLANs) at broadband speeds to small offices. Easy deployment and centralized management features enable enterprises or service providers to deploy the Cisco 880 Series in small branch offices or small businesses.

Cisco 890 Series ISRs deliver integrated security and threat defense, protecting networks from both known and new Internet vulnerabilities and attacks. These powerful, fixed-configuration routers provide secure broadband, Metro Ethernet, and wireless LAN (WLAN) connectivity. Service providers offering managed Ethernet WAN services can deploy them in customer locations as CPE. You get centralized and remote management capabilities through web-based tools and Cisco IOS® Software for full visibility and control of network configurations at the remote site.

The 890 routers simplify the deployment of Ethernet WAN services, with end-to-end operations, administration, and maintenance (OA&M), service-level agreement (SLA) monitoring and verification, and configuration management.

Secure Network Connectivity

Cisco 890 Series Routers deliver high performance with integrated security and threat defense. Network security has become a fundamental building block of any network, and Cisco routers play an important role in embedding security at the customer's access edge. Cisco recognizes this requirement, so Cisco 890 Series Routers are equipped with security hardware acceleration and Cisco IOS Software (by default, a universal image with Advanced IP Services feature license). This Cisco IOS Software feature set facilitates hardware-based IPsec encryption on the motherboard and provides a robust array of security capabilities such as Cisco IOS Firewall, Cisco ScanSafe Connector, IPS support, IPsec VPNs (DES, 3DES, and AES), SSL VPN, tunnel-less Group Encrypted Transport VPN, DMVPN, Easy VPN server and client support, Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol Version 2.0, and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) in one solution set.

Metro Ethernet Connectivity

Cisco 890 Series Routers are ideal for service provider deployments as Metro Ethernet customer premises equipment (CPE). The routers also provide failover protection and load balancing. The 8-port managed switch provides enough LAN ports for connecting multiple devices, and the optional PoE capability can supply power to IP phones or other devices. The Cisco 890 Series provides significant value to customers by simplifying deployment of Ethernet WAN services with end-to-end OA&M, SLA monitoring and verification, and configuration management, resulting in increased operational efficiency and reduced operating expenses (OpEx).
