The Cisco 2800 series of integrated services routers offers secure, wire-speed delivery of concurrent
data, voice, and video services. The modular design of the Cisco 2800 series routers provides maximum
flexibility, allowing you to configure your router to meet evolving needs. The Cisco 2800 series routers
incorporate data, security, and voice services in a single system for fast, scalable delivery of crucial
business applications. The routers offer features such as hardware-based VPN encryption acceleration,
intrusion-protection and firewall functions, and optional integrated call processing and voice mail. The
routers offer a wide variety of network modules and interfaces, voice digital signal processor (DSP)
slots, high-density interfaces for a wide range of connectivity requirements, and sufficient performance
and slot density for future network expansion requirements and advanced applications.
The Cisco 2800 series consists of four versions. The Cisco 2801 routers and Cisco 2811 routers are one
rack unit in height and have two 10/100 LAN ports. The more powerful Cisco 2821 routers and
Cisco 2851 routers are two rack units in height and have two 10/100/1000 LAN ports. The higher-end
router platforms of the Cisco 2800 series offer increased performance, increased slot density including
network module slots ad extension voice module slots and increased inline power output.

Cisco Product Identification Tool
The Cisco Product Identification (CPI) tool provides detailed illustrations and descriptions showing
where to locate serial number labels on Cisco products. It includes the following features:
• A search option that allows browsing for models using a tree-structured product hierarchy
• A search field on the final results page making it easier to look up multiple products
• End-of-sale products are clearly identified in results lists
The tool streamlines the process of locating serial number labels and identifying products. Serial number
information expedites the entitlement process and is important for access to support services.
The Cisco Product Identification tool can be accessed at the following URL:

Removable and Interchangeable Modules
Table 2 summarizes the optional modules that can be installed in the router to provide specific
capabilities. The network modules, extension voice modules, and interface cards fit into slots, located
on the front of the chassis on the Cisco 2801 router, and on the rear of the chassis on the Cisco 2811,
Cisco 2821, and Cisco 2851 routers; they can be removed and installed without opening the chassis.
Advanced integration modules (AIMs), expansion DRAM memory modules (DIMMs), and packet voice
data modules (PVDMs) plug into connectors inside the chassis; they can be removed and installed only
by opening the chassis.

Memory
Cisco 2800 series routers contain the following types of memory:
• DRAM—Stores the running configuration and routing tables and is used for packet buffering by the
network interfaces. Cisco IOS software executes from DRAM memory.
• Boot/NVRAM—Internal flash memory. Stores the bootstrap program (ROM monitor), the
configuration register, and the startup configuration.
• Flash memory—External flash memory. Stores the operating system software image.
Table 3 summarizes the memory options for Cisco 2800 series routers. The default memory numbers for
RAM represent the minimum usable memory. You can install additional RAM in multiples of the default
amount, up to the maximum amount.

Power
Table 4 summarizes the power options for Cisco 2800 series routers. Cisco 2801 routers are equipped
for operation using AC power only. Cisco 2811, Cisco 2821, and Cisco 2851 routers can be equipped for
operation using either AC or DC input power by installation of the appropriate chassis power supply. IP
phone power is supported if the appropriate AC-input chassis power supply is installed.

Chassis Ventilation
Internal multispeed fans provide chassis cooling, controlled by an onboard temperature sensor.
The Cisco 2801 router has two fans. The Cisco 2801 router with inline power includes two additional
fans integrated with the inline power supply, for a total of four fans. The Cisco 2801 internal fans operate
at three different speeds, running at the slower speeds to conserve power and reduce fan noise at ambient
temperatures below 40
The Cisco 2811 router has three fans that operate at a slower speed to conserve power and reduce fan
noise at ambient temperatures below 32

CautionYour chassis installation must allow unrestricted airflow for chassis cooling.
Cisco 2800 Series Router Installation and Preventive Maintenance
Periodic inspection and cleaning of the external surface of the router is recommended to minimize the
negative impact of environmental dust or debris on the router performance. The frequency of inspection
and cleaning is dependent upon the severity of the environmental conditions. Cleaning involves
vacuuming of router air intake and exhaust vents.
CautionFans are dynamic Electro-Mechanical devices. As such, fans can fail for various electronic reasons, and
will eventually fail due to mechanical wear-out. Sites with ambient temperatures consistently above 25
degree C and with potentially high levels of dust or debris may require fan servicing.
Real-Time Clock
An internal real-time clock with battery backup provides the system software with time of day on system
power up. This allows the system to verify the validity of the certification authority (CA) certificate. In
the Cisco 2811, Cisco 2821, and Cisco 2851 routers, the clock and battery are permanently installed; the
battery lasts the life of the router under the operating environmental conditions specified for the router.
The Cisco 2801 router has a socketed lithium battery. This battery lasts the life of the router under the
operating environmental conditions specified for the router, and is not field-replaceable.
NoteIf the lithium battery in a Cisco 2801 router should fail, the router must be returned to Cisco for repair.
Although the battery is not intended to be field-replaceable, the following warning must be heeded:

(enhanced extended), NMD (double-wide), and NME-XD (enhanced extended double-wide).
Interface Numbering
Table 7 summarizes the interface numbering on a Cisco 2801 series router. Table 8 summarizes the
interface numbering on Cisco 2811, Cisco 2821, and Cisco 2851 series routers.
NoteThe interface numbering on Cisco 2800 series routers is different from the numbering on Cisco 2600
series routers.
NoteOn the Cisco 2801 router, the numbering format for slots is interface type 0/slot/port. “0” indicates slots
that are built into the chassis of a router. On the Cisco 2801 router, all slots begin with “0,” because all
slots are built into the chassis. Note that this is different from the Cisco 2811, Cisco 2821, and
Cisco 2851 routers. On these routers, some slots are built into the chassis and have slot numbers that
begin with “0”. However, it is possible to have other slots that are part of a network module or an
extension voice module. Those slots have slot numbers that begin with “1” or “2,” respectively.

1. A VWIC in slots 1, 2, and 3 can operate in both data and voice mode; in slot 0, a VWIC can operate only in voice
mode.
NoteOn the Cisco 2801 router, the numbering format for configuring an asynchronous interface is 0/slot/port.
To configure the line associated with an asynchronous interface, simply use the interface number to
specify the async line. For example, line 0/1/0 specifies the line associated with interface serial 0/1/0 on
a WIC-2A/S in slot 1. Similarly, line 0/2/1 specifies the line associated with interface async 0/2/1 on a
WIC-2AM in slot 2.

1. Interface abbreviations: fa = Fast Ethernet; gi = Gigabit Ethernet; usb = universal serial bus; bri = ISDN basic rate interface.
2. The interfaces listed are examples only; other possible interface types are not listed.
3. Interface card slot numbers for double-width (HWIC-D) slots are 1 and 3 only.
4. Specify the line number in the Cisco IOS CLI by using the interface number for the associated asynchronous serial interface.
5. “1” is the network module slot number in all Cisco 2800 series routers.
6. “2” is the EVM slot number in Cisco 2821 and Cisco 2851 routers.
7. “0” is required by the CLI syntax for voice ports in an EVM; it indicates no interface card slots in EVMs.
NoteOn the Cisco 2811, Cisco 2821, and Cisco 2851 routers, the interface numbering scheme is the same for
asynchronous interfaces as other types of interfaces. To configure the line associated with an async
interface, simply use the interface number to specify the async line. For example, line 0/3/0 specifies the
line associated with interface serial 0/3/0 on a WIC-2A/S in slot 3. Similarly, line 1/22 specifies the line
associated with interface async 1/22 on a NM-32A in network module slot 1.
