Cisco 880 Series Integrated Services Routers
The Cisco® 880 Series Integrated Services Routers combine Internet access, security, voice, and wireless
services onto a single, secure device that is simple to use and manage for small businesses and
enterprise small branch offices and teleworkers. The Cisco 880 Series delivers features including firewall,
content filtering, VPNs, and wireless LANs (WLANs) at broadband speeds to small offices. Easy
deployment and centralized management features help enable enterprises or service providers to deploy
the Cisco 880 Series in small branch offices or small businesses.
Product Overview
Cisco 880 Series Integrated Services Routers are fixed-configuration routers that provide collaborative business
solutions for secure voice and data communication to small businesses and enterprise teleworkers. They offer
concurrent broadband services over third-generation (3G), Metro Ethernet, and multiple DSL technologies to provide
business continuity. Wireless 802.11n and 3G offer LAN and WAN mobility. The routers provide the performance
required for concurrent services, including firewall, intrusion prevention, content filtering, and encryption for VPNs;
optional 802.11g/n for mobility; 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.

The Cisco 880 Series is ideal for small branch offices and teleworkers who need to be connected to larger enterprise
networks as well as small businesses. These routers help extend corporate networks to secure remote sites while
giving users access to the same applications found in a corporate office. This access applies to both data and voice
applications. When users require WLAN access, visibility and control of network security are even more critical at
the remote site. The Cisco 880 Series meets this need with a single device that combines integrated 802.11g/n
capabilities with security features such as Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), including authentication with IEEE 802.1X
with Cisco Extensible Authentication Protocol (LEAP) and Protected EAP (PEAP) and encryption with WPA
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). (Refer to the wireless solution overview and security data sheet for more
information. The Cisco 880 Series models that include the integrated access point can use either autonomous or
Cisco Unified WLAN modes. In Cisco Unified WLAN mode, as part of an enterprise WLAN architecture, all WLAN

functions are centrally managed through Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers and the Cisco Wireless Control System
(WCS).
Service providers and value-added resellers can take advantage of the Cisco 880 Series to provide a true businessclass broadband service. Business customers are using broadband access to connect to the Internet or to connect
offices together, and they require a platform that incorporates security without sacrificing performance. Many of
these customers are connecting computers in offices through WLANs; having a single device for both WAN and
WLAN access provides a new option for managed services. These customers also require a higher level of support
to keep their networks operational. Services with these customers should be simple to set up, while allowing a level
of remote management and troubleshooting to quickly address support inquiries. The Cisco 880 Series meets the
requirements of small offices and managed services providers.
Figure 2 shows deployment scenarios.
Figure 2. Deployment Scenarios
Applications
The Cisco 880 Series is ideally suited for deployment in a small office or in a small office that is part of a large
network, most often with a secure VPN connection. These types of offices can include the following:
●
Small remote office: The Cisco 880 can connect users in a small remote office, such as an insurance, lawyer,
or sales office. When connecting to the main office, VPN encryption and integrated security such as firewall
and intrusion prevention protect the network at the perimeter. IT managers can centrally manage the remote
site to quickly troubleshoot any network problems. For added reliability, customers can also use the
integrated 3G or ISDN backup or connect through an external modem if the primary broadband link fails.
Integrated secure unified WLAN connectivity simplifies the deployment and management devices at the
remote site. Redundant WAN links offer business continuity, enabling nondisruptive business operation.

●
Virtual office: The Cisco 880 Series is ideal for corporate teleworkers who have a mix of broadband
connection types such as DSL, 3G, and Metro Ethernet. The Cisco 880 SRST Series provides a secure
virtual office with all the collaborative services such as data, voice, and fax services. SRST helps ensure
voice services are operational in case of WAN link failure, and redundant WAN links help ensure business
continuity. QoS features in the Cisco 880 Series allow for connection of an IP or analog phone to the router,
giving voice traffic precedence over data applications. Integrated WLAN support in the Cisco 880 Series
helps ensure that if wireless connectivity is used it is secure. (Refer to Cisco Virtual Office Solution,
http://www.cisco.com/go/cvo, for more information.)
●
Remote call-center agent: Similar to teleworking applications, this solution extends the Cisco IP Contact
Center solution for telephone call-center agents to remote sites. With a high-quality, secure connection
through the Cisco 880 Series, call-center agents can be dispersed away from costly call-center facilities while
maintaining secure and productive voice and data access in their home. SRST and business-continuity
solutions in the Cisco 880 Series provide reliability and continuous business operation.
●
Retail VPN: Retail stores migrating from dialup connections for point-of-sale transactions can use the Cisco
880 Series to take advantage of low-cost broadband access with the required security to comply with
payment-card-industry (PCI) and other data security requirements. They can then add multiple devices and
applications to the store network to take advantage of the increased bandwidth and also incorporate optional
WLAN support to enable secure mobility and enhance productivity.
●
Managed services: Service providers and value-added resellers can use the Cisco 880 Series as a platform
to offer differentiated business-class security and WLAN services for small business customers.

◦
be bridged or tunneled
Summary
Cisco 880 Series Integrated Services Routers combine increased network performance with advanced security to
allow small-office customers to get the most from their broadband connections. With models supporting different
broadband technologies such as DSL, 3G, and Metro Ethernet, the Cisco 880 Series can be deployed at any smalloffice location. Optional integrated 802.11g/n wireless capabilities provide true business-class WAN and WLAN
access in a single solution. With the Cisco 880 Series, enterprise IT managers and service providers can take
advantage of a solution that can be easily set up at the remote site and can be centrally managed to reduce ongoing
operational costs.
