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-highspeed 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®

Increased performance to run
concurrent services
●
Performance allows customers to take advantage of broadband network speeds while running secure,
concurrent data, voice, video, and wireless services.
●
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 ● DSL Multimode VDSL2 and ADSL2 and 2+ provide for business continuity.
●
Redundant WAN links provide business continuity and WAN diversity (CISCO886VA only).
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.
●
A single dual-purpose port provides direct connection to a console or external modem for management or
backup access points.

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
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).
