Interface/Module Form Factors

• AIM (Advanced Integration Module)
• Voice services
• Compression
• VPN acceleration
• HWIC (High-speed WAN Interface Card)
• High speed WAN interfaces -)
• Ethernet switching
• Network Module Engine (NME)
• Many interface modules
• Content and service engines
• Ethernet switching
• EVM (Extension Voice Module)
• PVDM (Packet Voice DSP Module)on board or
  optional module

Integrated Switching

• 4 and 9 Port EtherSwitch HWIC
• Low density L2 switching
• Cisco and 802.3af standards-based PoE support on
  3800 and 2800 series ISR

• EtherSwitch Service Modules
• Four form factors
• 16, 24, 48 and
• 24 StackWise (HULC) interfaces
• New generation EtherSwitch modules provide full
  feature parity with Cisco Catalyst 3750
• 802.3af POE and Cisco inline power on all ports
• Switch will run its own Cisco IOS image (12.2S
  train) allowing easier management and support

Integrated Switching What Gets Processed Where?
EtherSwitch
Router

• Layer 2 switching
• Layer 3 IP switching
• (inter-VLAN routing)
• IP ACLs
• MAC ACLs for non-IP traffic
• LAN-side QoS Layer 24 QoS with CoS/DSCP, shaped
  round robin, strict priority queuing

• Layer 3 routing at WAN speeds
• WAN-side QOS LLQ, CBWFQ, MQC
• Layer 3 routing for non-IP protocols
• Layer 3 ACLs for non-IP protocols
• Firewall/IPS/NAC
• IPSec

VSAT Satellite WAN (NM-1VSAT)

• High-speed video multicast
• Economical distribution of large content to
  multiple sites (e.g., live business video,
  video-on-demand, software upgrades)
• One-way or two-way satellite mode
• Over 6 Mb/s multicast throughput per module
• Non-terrestrial WAN backup
• Maintains business if terrestrial link fails
• Supplements dial/ISDN/DSL backup
• Interoperable with services using Gilat-SkyEdge
  hubs
• Services typically start at 100/mo/site (based
  on BW)
• Typically single SP nationwide

Backup Bandwidth Shared by Multiple Sites
via TDMA-Based Technology Enhanced for Satellite
2.550 MB/S Outbound
Up to 500 KB/S from Remote to HQ

Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Module

• Network module supported on the Cisco
  2800/3700/3800 series routers
• Supports up to 6 APs per module
• Eliminates configuring, managing and monitoring
  individual access points
• Leverages WCS for centralized policy management
  and monitoringideal for enterprises with limited
  IT staff managing hundreds of remote sites
• All LWAPP-enabled Cisco Aironet APs supported
