Cisco 880VA Series Integrated Services Routers

Product Overview

The new Cisco 880VA Series Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) are part of the Cisco Integrated Services Routers Generation 2 (ISR G2) portfolio. The Cisco 880VA Series Routers support DSL multimode, including very-high- speed DSL 2 (VDSL2) and asymmetric DSL 2+ (ADSL2+). The routers support VDSL2 and ADSL2+ on a single WAN interface, thus providing secure, cost-effective connectivity to small businesses, enterprise small branch offices, and teleworker sites (Figure 1).

Features and Benefits

Cisco 880VA Series ISRs are fixed-configuration routers that provide collaborative business solutions for secure voice and data communications to small businesses and enterprise teleworkers. They offer concurrent broadband services over multiple DSL technologies to provide business continuity. The routers provide the performance required for concurrent services, including firewall, intrusion prevention, content filtering, and encryption for VPNs; and quality-of-service (QoS) features for optimizing voice and video applications. In addition, the web-based Cisco Configuration Professional configuration tool simplifies setup and deployment. Centralized management capabilities give network managers visibility and control of the network configurations at the remote site.

Cisco 880 Series Integrated Services Routers offer:

●High performance for broadband access in small offices and small branch-office and teleworker sites

●Collaborative services with secure analog, digital voice, and data communications

●Business continuity with redundant WAN links: Multimode DSL (VDSL2 and ADSL2 and 2+) over telephone service and ISDN

●Enhanced security, including:

◦Firewall with advance application and control for email, Instant Messaging (IM), and HTTP traffic

◦Site-to-site remote-access and dynamic VPN services: IP Security (IPsec) VPNs (Triple Data Encryption Standard [3DES] or Advanced Encryption Standard [AES]), Dynamic Multipoint VPN (DMVPN), Group Encrypted Transport VPN with onboard acceleration, and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) VPN

◦Intrusion prevention system (IPS): An inline, deep-packet inspection feature that effectively mitigates a wide range of network attacks

◦Content filtering: A subscription-based integrated security solution that offers category-based reputation rating; keyword blocking; and protection against adware, malware, spyware, and URL blocking

●Four-port 10/100 Fast Ethernet managed switch with VLAN support; two ports support Power over Ethernet (PoE) for powering IP phones or external access points

●CON/AUX port for console or external modem

●One USB 1.1 port for security eToken credentials, booting from USB, and loading configuration

●Easy setup, deployment, and remote-management capabilities through web-based tools and Cisco IOS® Software

	Feature	Benefit
	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.
	Cisco Configuration	● Cisco Configuration Professional uses smart wizards and task-based tutorials, which resellers and
	Professional	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).

Summary

Cisco 880VA Series Integrated Services Routers combine increased network performance with advanced security to allow small-office customers to get the most from their broadband connections. You can deploy Cisco 880VA Series Routers at any small-office location. With the Cisco 880VA Series, enterprise IT managers and service providers can take advantage of a solution that they can easily set up at the remote site and centrally manage to reduce ongoing operating costs.
