speeds while running secure, concurrent data, voice, video, and wireless services.
Enhanced security
●
An integrated stateful and application inspection firewall provides network perimeter security.
●
High-speed IPsec 3DES and AES encryption offers data privacy over the Internet.
●
Intrusion prevention enforces security policy in a larger enterprise or service provider network.
●
Content filtering offers category-based URL classification and blocking, thus providing increased
productivity and better use of company resources.
WAN diversity
●
Multiple WAN links include Fast Ethernet, multimode VDSL2/ADSL2/2+, multimode G.SHDSL, 3G,
and ISDN.
Redundant WAN links
●
Redundant WAN links provide business continuity and WAN diversity with.
Four-port 10-/100-Mbps managed
switch
●
The Cisco 880 Series allows for connection of multiple devices in a small office, with the ability to
designate a port as the network edge.
●
An optional external PoE adapter powers IP phones and external access points to avoid individual
power supplies or power injectors.
●
VLANs allow for secure segmentation of network resources.
CON/AUX port
●
A single dual-purpose port provides direct connection to a console or external modem for
management or backup access points.
Optional 802.11g/n access point
●
This broadband router offers a secure integrated access point in a single device.
●
This integrated Wi-Fi access point offers IEEE 802.11n 2.0 standard support for mobile access to
high-bandwidth data, voice, and video applications through the use of multiple-input, multiple-output
(MIMO) technology that provides increased throughput, reliability, and predictability.
●
The Cisco 880 Series supports both autonomous and unified modes.
Real-time clock
●
A built-in real-time clock maintains an accurate date and time for applications that require an
accurate time stamp, such as logging and digital certificates.
Voice Gateway (supported on 881V
and 887VA-V voice models)
●
Provides voice gateway functionality with the ability to upgrade to a 5 user Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Express or 5 user SRST)
SRST (supported on SRST voice
models)
●
SRST provides business continuity for voice when the WAN link fails by switching calls to the
PSTN.
Cisco Unified Border Element
(supported on Cisco Unified Border
Element voice models)
●
Support for SIP trunk connectivity, including demarcation and interworking, is based on a Cisco
Unified Border Element feature license.
●
Transcoding of media is not supported on the Cisco 880 Series Cisco Unified Border Element
feature set.
Cisco Configuration Professional
●
Cisco Configuration Professional uses smart wizards and task-based tutorials, which resellers and
customers can use to quickly and easily deploy, configure, and monitor a Cisco access router
without requiring knowledge of the Cisco IOS Software command-line interface (CLI).
Unified wireless management
●
Configuration and management of access points is automated and simplified without manual
intervention.
●
A unified hybrid remote-edge access point (HREAP) provides the following:
WLAN services to remote and branch offices without deploying a WLAN controller at each
location
Central configuration and control of unified WLAN services for remote offices through a WAN link
Flexibility in setting up wireless access at remote locations by specifying how traffic is to be
bridged or tunneled
