C H A P T E R 1
This chapter provides an overview of the features available for the Cisco 880 series Integrated Service Router (ISR), and contains the following sections:
•General Description, page 1-1
•Cisco 880 Series ISR, page 1-1
•Licensing, page 1-3
•880 SKUs for next generation Cisco 880 Series ISR platforms, page 1-3
•Memory, page 1-5
•LED Overview, page 1-6
•Power Supply, page 1-7
The Cisco 880 ISR provides Internet, VPN, data, and backup capability to corporate teleworkers and remote and small offices of fewer than 20 users. These routers are capable of bridging and multiprotocol routing between LAN and WAN ports, and provide advanced features such as antivirus protection. In addition, the Cisco 880W series ISR incorporates an 802.11b/g/n wireless radio that allows the ISR to act as a wireless access point.
The Cisco 880 series ISRs are a family of fixed-configuration data routers, as described in the following sections:
•Models of the Cisco 880 Series ISRs, page 1-1
•Common Features, page 1-2
Host router sofware will be runnin gon 1st core and WLAN AP software will be running on 2nd core.
The Cisco 880 series ISRs have data capabilities. Each router has one WAN port. Data backup ports are also available on most of the routers. The 802.11b/g/n option is available on all models.

Cisco 880 series ISRs support the following features:
•4-port 10/100 FE LAN Switch, page 1-2
•802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN, page 1-2
•Battery-backed-up Real-Time Clock, page 1-2
•Security Features, page 1-2
This switch provides four ports for connecting to 10/100BASE-T FE LANs, access points, or IP phones. A factory installed upgrade is available that gives Power over Ethernet (PoE) on two of the ports to provide power to access points or phones.
The Cisco 880W series ISRs have an integrated 802.11b/g/n single radio module for wireless LAN connectivity. With this module, the router can act as an access point in the local infrastructure.
A battery-backed-up real-time clock (RTC) provides the date and time when the system is powered on. The RTC is used to verify the validity of the Certification Authority stored on the router.
The Cisco 880 platforms provide the following security features:
•Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)
•Dynamic Multipoint VPN (DMVPN)
•IPsec
•Quality of service (QoS)

Licensing
The Cisco 880 ISR is shipped with licensed software installed. Software features may be upgraded and the software licenses may be managed through Cisco Licensing Manager. See Software Activation On Cisco Integrated Services Routers on Cisco.com for details.
When you order a new router, you can specify the software image and feature set. The image and feature set are installed on your router before you receive it, so you do not need to purchase a software license. The router stores the software license file on the flash memory.
Some feature sets are bundled and offered with a software license that is installed on the hardware platforms. For a list of features available with a software license on the Cisco 880, see Cisco 880 Data Sheet. See Cisco IOS Software Activation Tasks and Commands on Cisco.com for details about how to activate and manage the software licenses.
The following lists the SKUs particular for Next generation Cisco 880 Series ISR platforms.

C H A P T E R 2
Wireless devices (commonly configured as access points) provide a secure, affordable, and easy-to-use wireless LAN solution that combines mobility and flexibility with the enterprise-class features required by networking professionals. When configured as a access point, the wireless device serves as the connection point between wireless and wired networks or as the center point of a stand-alone wireless network. In large installations, wireless users within radio range can roam throughout a facility while maintaining seamless, uninterrupted access to the network.
With a management system based on Cisco IOS software, wireless devices are Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™, 802.11b-compliant, 802.11g-compliant, and 802.11n-compliant wireless LAN transceivers.
The access point is shipped with an autonomous image and a recovery image on the access point’s flash. The default mode is autonomous; however, the access point can be upgraded to operate in Cisco Unified Wireless mode.
Each mode is described below:
–Autonomous mode—supports standalone network configurations, where all configuration settings are maintained locally on the wireless device. Each autonomous device can load its starting configuration independently, and still operate in a cohesive fashion on the network.
–Cisco Unified Wireless mode—operates in conjunction with a Cisco Unified Wireless LAN controller, where all configuration information is maintained within the controller. In the Cisco Unified Wireless LAN architecture, wireless devices operate in the lightweight mode using Leightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP), (as opposed to autonomous mode). The lightweight access point, or wireless device, has no configuration until it associates to a controller. The configuration on the wireless device can be modified by the controller only when the networking is up and running. The controller manages the wireless device configuration, firmware, and control transactions such as 802.1x authentication. All wireless traffic is tunneled through the controller.
See Why Migrate to a Cisco Unified Wireless Network? on Cisco.com for more about this network architecture design.

Chapter 2 Wireless Device Overview
Management Options
The wireless device runs its own version of Cisco IOS software that is separate from the Cisco IOS software operating on the router. You can configure and monitor the access point with several different tools:
•Cisco IOS software CLI
•Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
•Web-browser interface: http://cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/12.4_10b_JA/configuration/guide/scg12410b-c hap2-gui.html
Note The web-browser interface is fully compatible with Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6.0 on Windows 98, 2000, and XP platforms, and with Netscape version 7.0 on Windows 98, 2000, XP, and Solaris platforms.
Note Avoid using the CLI and the web-browser tools concurrently to configure the wireless device. If you configure the wireless device using the CLI, the web-browser interface may display an inaccurate interpretation of the configuration. This inappropriate display of information does not necessarily mean the wireless device is misconfigured.
Use the interface dot11radio global configuration CLI command to place the wireless device into the radio configuration mode.
