Cisco SOHO Series
Cisco SOHO Series broadband routers provide secure connectivity to small
remote offices with up to five users and teleworkers. The Cisco SOHO Series
Routers can support integrated security features of Cisco IOS Software such
as stateful inspection firewall protection, strong encryption for virtual private
networks (VPNs), easy setup for non-technical users with a Web-based setup tool,
and advanced management capabilities to lower operational costs. These routers
connect to a DSL line with an integrated modem (ADSL: SOHO 97; ADSL over
ISDN: SOHO 96; G.SHDSL: SOHO 78) or connect to an external DSL or cable
modem (SOHO 91).
BENE F I T S A N D ADVANTAG E S
Secure Internet Access
The Cisco SOHO Series Routers, recommended
for up to five users, allow all users in a small
office to share a secure broadband connection
with an integrated stateful inspection firewall.
Corporate teleworkers or small-office users can
also take advantage of the Cisco SOHO Series
Routers for VPN connections to the corporate
network. The SOHO 91, 96, and 97 routers can
set up secure Triple Data Encryption Standard
(3DES) encrypted connections using Cisco IOS
Software or, for all the SOHO Series Routers,
users can initiate VPN tunnels from PC-based
VPN clients on the LAN.
Easy Setup and Deployment
The Cisco SOHO Series Routers include the Cisco
Router Web Setup tool (CRWS), a Web-based
configuration tool that allows users to quickly selfinstall the router. Because CRWS is Web-based,
no additional software is required on the PC for
configuration. Users simply point a browser to
the router and follow a few easy steps to quickly
get the router up and running. Additionally,
the Cisco Configuration Express service allows
enterprise or service provider customers who
order products direct from Cisco to have preconfigured Cisco SOHO Series Routers shipped from
the manufacturer directly to the end users.
Advanced Management Features
for Low Cost of Ownership
To simplify management and reduce ongoing
operational costs, the Cisco SOHO Series
Routers take advantage of many debug and
troubleshooting features in Cisco IOS Software.
To further reduce operational costs, the routers
support centralized management and configuration updates with the Cisco IE 2100 Intelligent
Engine management appliance. The Cisco SOHO
Series Routers provide the right combination of
integrated security features, a four-port 10/100
Ethernet LAN switch on the SOHO 91, 96, and
97 routers, and advanced management features
to secure broadband connections for small
office and home office users. Cisco SOHO 90
Series routers offer out-of-band management
feature via virtual auxiliary port. Dynamic DNS
feature is available on Cisco 830 routers, which
enables the router to be accessible from outside
using a DNS name even when the WAN IP
address changes frequently.The Cisco SOHO
Series Routers use the same Cisco IOS Software
used in large service provider and enterprise
networks, allowing small-office users to take
advantage of the proven reliability of
Cisco IOS Software.

received, while still preventing unauthorized
access. With the support of Cisco Easy VPN
Remote, setup, management, and maintenance
of VPN connections is simple using Cisco
800 Series Routers. Other important security
features offered by Cisco 830 routers are
Intrusion Detection System (IDS), Dynamic
Multipoint VPN (DMVPN), DMZ interface, 802.1x,
Quality of Service for VPNs and Public Wireless
LAN security features.

Integrated Services
With the optional integration of numerous
services modules, the Cisco 2800 Series offers
the ability to easily integrate the functions of
standalone network appliances and components
into the Cisco 2800 Series chassis itself. Many
of these modules, such as the Cisco Network
Analysis Module, Cisco Unity™ Express
Voice-mail Module, Cisco Intrusion Detection
Module, and Cisco Content Engine Module,
have embedded processors and hard drives
that allow them to run largely independently
of the router while allowing management from
a single management interface. This flexibility
greatly expands the potential applications of the
Cisco 2800 Series beyond traditional routing,
while maintaining the benefits of integration.
Secure Networking
Integrated on the motherboard of every
Cisco 2800 Series router is hardware-based
encryption acceleration that offloads the
encryption processes to provide greater IPsec
throughput with less overhead for the router
CPU, when compared with software-based
solutions. With the optional integration of VPN
modules (for enhanced performance and tunnel
count), content engine network modules for
URL filtering, or intrusion-prevention network
modules, combined with the rich Cisco IOS®
Software security feature set that includes
firewall, network access control (NAC), voice
and video-enabled VPN (V3PN), intrusion
prevention, and Dynamic Multipoint VPN
(DMVPN), Cisco offers the industry’s most
robust and adaptable security solution for
branch-office routers.
IP Telephony
The Cisco 2800 Series allows network managers
to provide scalable analog and digital telephony
without investing in a one-time solution, giving
enterprises greater control of their converged
telephony needs. Using voice and fax modules,
the Cisco 2800 Series can be deployed for
applications ranging from voice over IP (VoIP)
and voice over Frame Relay (VoFR) transport
to robust, centralized solutions using the
Cisco Survivable Remote Site Telephony
(SRST) solution or distributed call processing
using Cisco CallManager Express (CCME).
The architecture is highly scalable with the
