KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS
The Cisco 2600 Series supports a wide range of performance and scalability for branch-office networking solutions, allowing businesses to extend a
cost-effective, transparent network infrastructure to the branch office with the following benefits:
• Investment protection—Support for field-upgradable, modular components on the Cisco 2600 Series allows customers to easily change network
interfaces without a complete system upgrade of the entire branch-office network. The AIM slot(s) further protects investments by offering the
expandability to support advanced services such as hardware-assisted data compression, data encryption, ATM data and voice access, or DSP
digital voice applications.
• Lower cost of ownership—By integrating the functions of switches, channel service units (CSUs), data service units (DSUs), ISDN Network
Termination 1 (NT1) devices, firewalls, modems, compression or encryption devices, and other equipment found in branch-office wiring closets
in a single, compact unit, the Cisco 2600 Series provides a space-saving solution that is more manageable.
• Integrated flexible routing and low-density switching—With support of an optional 16-port 10/100 Cisco EtherSwitch
®
Network Module, branch
offices can take advantage of the flexibility of integrated routing and switching functions in one unit for low port densities. This offers high-speed
connections between individual desktops, servers, and other network resources in a single unit for Layer 2 and allows WAN connection at Layer 3
through the router. An optional external power chassis provides in-line power to IP phones and to Cisco Aironet
®
802.11 base stations.
