High-Performance
Architecture
• High-speed routing performance of up to 40,000 packets per second for maximum
scalability to support more concurrent functions (Cisco 265xXM-DC)
• Support for advanced QoS features such as the Resource Reservation Protocol
(RSVP), Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ), and IP Precedence to reduce recurring
WAN costs
• Support for up to 8 T1/E1 network connections
• Up to 36 asynchronous or 12 synchronous connections are supported in a single
Cisco 2600 enabling telemetry applications
• Support for TDM traffic with drop and insert capability
• AIM slot support to off-load processor intensive applications including
hardware-based compression, encryption, ATM access, and Voice.
• Enables security features such as data encryption, tunneling, and user
authentication and authorization for virtual private network (VPN) access
• Full Cisco IOS
®
Software Support
Deployed in IP networks
around the world, the Cisco
IOS software supports the
following DCN related
services:
• Full IP Routing Services including multiprotocol BGP, multi-Area ISIS and DNS
• TL1 support including transport via X.25, TCP or OSI. TID Address Resolution
Protocol (TARP) support and TARP Storm Avoidance support.
• PPP services including WAN interface support for ISDN, Frame Relay, ATM, and
X.25
• X.25 support services including X.25 switching, X.3 Asynchronous PAD, DNS for
X.25 address resolution, Hunt Groups, and SVC/PVC conversion
• IP to X.25 Protocol Translation
• BX.25 Transport over X.25 or TCP (XOT)
• Support for up to 3 OSI/IS-IS areas, per chassis, essentially providing the same
capabilities as 3 separate OSI routers.
• Full-featured IP and OSI routing and mediation on a single platform, including
legacy X.25, and async devices support Cisco IOS Firewall feature sets provide
support for advanced security features such as Context-Based Access Control
(CBAC), Java blocking, denial of service protection, and audit trails
• Integration of legacy networks via data link switching plus (DLSW+) and Advanced
Peer-to-Peer Networking (APPN)
Simplified Management
Common Language
Equipment Identification
(CLEI) Codes
• Enables easy identification and tracking of central-office equipment
Part of the Cisco DCN
Stackable Solutions
• Can be stacked with LAN switches such as the Catalyst 2950G-24-DC or Cisco
3662-AC/DC-CO modular access platform
VLAN Support • Enables inter-VLAN routing via the Cisco Inter-Switch Link (ISL) protocol with the
Cisco Catalyst 2950G-24-DC and 2924M XL DC switches and the Cisco 3662-AC/
DC-CO when used with the Cisco 2600XM, 2620, 2621, 2650, 2651, and Cisco IOS
“Plus” feature set
Cisco Discovery Protocol
(CDP) Support
• Enables a CiscoWorks network management station to automatically discover the
Cisco 2600 in a network topology.
