1 Router Overview

Introduction

The MSR 900 series routers (hereinaf ter referred to as the MSR 900)
are the access devices developed by H3C for use on medium- and
small-sized enterprise networks. With advanced software
architecture and hardware platform, the MSR 900 is designed to
provide a unified solution requiring a minimum investment, fully
meeting the challenges of future service expansion and confo rming to
both the status quo and tendency of enterprise IT construction.

The MSR 900 series routers comprise wireless models (MSR 900W
and MSR 920W) and wired models (MSR 900 and MSR 920).
