Table 2. Architecture Features and Benefits
Feature |
Benefit |
Hardware Architecture |
|
High-Performance Processor |
High-speed processor delivers exceptional processing power for applications and concurrent security and wireless services. |
Integrated ADSL or G.SHDSL |
Eliminates the need to deploy and manage a separate DSL modem. |
Integrated 10/100BASE-T WAN Ports |
Offers flexibility to connect to various types of DSL broadband or cable access or Ethernet access. Additional capability to deploy redundant WAN connections for failover protections and load balancing. |
Integrated 8-Port 10/100BASE-T Managed Switch |
Fully managed LAN switch ports connect multiple LAN devices and reduce the need for an additional LAN switch. |
Integrated WAN Backup |
ISDN S/T BRI or analog modem port provides high availability by establishing a backup WAN connection if the primary connection fails. |
Onboard Hardware Encryption Acceleration |
Delivers high-speed encryption and decryption rates for DES, 3DES, and AES to help ensure all available bandwidth to the Internet is utilized for maximum performance. |
Expandable Memory Architecture |
The default memory of 32 MB Flash and 128 MB DRAM is sufficient to support complex configurations and help ensure operation for an extended period. Memory is expandable to support maximum of 128 MB Flash and 384 MB DRAM, offering additional investment protection. |
802.1Q VLAN |
A total of eight VLANs can be configured to segment a network and offer additional security and separation of network traffic. |
Real-Time Clock |
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. |
Internal Power Supply |
Eliminates the need for a cumbersome external power-adapter module and provides easier cable management. |
USB 2.0 Ports on Cisco 1811 and 1812 |
Integrated USB ports can be configured to work with optional USB token for off-platform storage of VPN credentials or for deployment of configuration stored on USB Flash devices. |
Power over Ethernet (PoE) |
802.3af Power over Ethernet support delivers power to IP phones or external wireless access points through the 10/100 switch ports to eliminate the need for power cords for these devices. |
Rack- and Wall-Mountable |
Delivers flexibility in mounting on a wall or in a standard 19-inch rack. Optional rack mount kit can be ordered for support in 19-inch rack. |
Secure Networking |
|
Cisco IOS Firewall, Including URL Filtering |
Application Inspection, Transparent and Stateful firewall, and URL filtering protects the network from unauthorized user access. URL filtering prevents inappropriate Websites from being accessed and downloading of offensive content. |
Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) |
Detects harmful network activity and generates alarms to warn of threats and intrusion attempts. New IPS signatures can be dynamically loaded. |
AutoSecure |
Facilitates rapid implementation of firewall and security policies to optimize network security with a single Cisco IOS command. |
Site-to-Site VPN |
Connects remote access clients and branch offices to central sites more cost-effectively and flexibly than networks using leased lines, Frame Relay, or ATM. |
Dynamic Multipoint VPN (DMVPN) |
Allows for secure, direct spoke-to-spoke communication with the added benefit of configuration simplicity and zero-touch deployment. This feature allows users to better scale large and small IPSec VPNs by combining generic routing encapsulation (GRE) tunnels, IPSec encryption, and Next Hop Resolution Protocol (NHRP). |
GET VPN |
Group Encrypted Transport VPN (GET VPN) delivers highly scalable and manageable inter-site any-to-any VPN connectivity without the complexity typically encountered with meshed network designs and eliminates the need for traditional VPN tunnels. GET VPN supplements DMVPN by enabling high scale, always-on any-to-any site connectivity that is critical for ensuring transmission quality of latency-sensitive traffic such as voice, video and terminal services. |
SSL VPN |
SSL VPN delivers secure access to network resources by establishing an encrypted tunnel across the Internet using a broadband (cable, DSL) or ISP dial connection. Web-based clientless access and full network access is provided without pre-installed desktop software. |
Cisco Easy VPN Remote and Server |
Eases administration and management of point-to-point VPNs by actively pushing new security policies from a single headend to remote sites. |
Network Admission Control (NAC) |
Ensures client devices are using the most up-to-date antivirus application and signature files and protects the network from harmful threats by prohibiting network access if outdated versions are used. |
Wireless Networking |
|
Integrated IEEE 802.11 a/b/g Access Point |
Provides simultaneous operation at multiple Wi-Fi frequencies including 2.4 GHz and 5GHz. Supports Cisco Aironet, Wi-Fi Certified and Cisco Compatible client devices. |
Wireless VLAN |
Provides support for multiple wireless VLANs that can be configured to provide additional security, segmentation, and separation of user groups. |
Multiple Antenna Options |
Removable antennae provide flexibility to add multiband wall-mount and ceiling-mount antennas. |
Certification |
![]()
|
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2) |

ADSL Port |
One ADSL over POTS port on Cisco 1801. One ADSL over ISDN on Cisco 1802. The Cisco 1801 supports ADSL over POTS standards G.992.1 G.DMT and ANSI T1.413 DMT Issue 2. The Cisco 1802 supports ADSL over ISDN standards ETSI 101-388, U-R2, and G.992.1 G.DMT. |
|
DSL Specifications |
• ST-Microelectronics 20190 chipset
• Supports ADSL over basic telephone service with Annex A and Annex B ITU G. 992.1 (ADSL), G.992.3 (ADSL2), and G.992.5 (ADSL2+)
• Supports ADSL over basic telephone service with Annex M (Except UK Mask); Enables extended upstream bandwidth, Optimized for PSD mask M9, EU-64) G.992.3 (ADSL2) and G.992.5 (ADSL2+) for Cisco 1801 only
• G.992.1 ITU G.DMT support
• G.994.1 ITU G.hs negotiation
• Support for Reach-extended ADSL2 (G.922.3) Annex L
• Complies with T1.413 ANSI ADSL DMT issue 2
• DSL Forum TR-067
The chipset does not provide interoperability with carrierless amplitude modulation/phase modulation (CAP)-based ADSL lines Annex A and Annex B are supported starting with Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4(4)T. Annex M (except UK Mask) is supported starting with the special Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4(11)XJ. The ADSL2 standard (ITU G.992.3) adds new features and functions targeted at improving ADSL performance and interoperability. In addition, the standard adds support for new applications, services, and deployment scenarios. Among the changes are improvements in data rate and reach performance, rate adaptation, improved diagnostics, and power enhancements. The conventional ADSL standard (ITU G.992.1) provides downstream data rates of up to 8 Mbps and upstream data rates of up to 0.8 Mbps, and ADSL2 provides higher downstream rates of up to 12 Mbps and upstream data rates of up to 1 Mbps. The ADSL2+ standard (ITU G.992.5) doubles the bandwidth used for downstream data transmission, effectively doubling the maximum downstream data rates, and achieving downstream data rates of up to 24 Mbps and upstream data rates of up to 1.5 Mbps. Cisco 1801-M supports ITU G.992.3 Annex M (except UK Mask) and adds capabilities for extended upstream bandwidth above 2.0 Mbps. This allows carriers and enterprises to cover applications traditionally served by T1, E1, G.SHDSL without overhauling the transport infrastructure. Exact data rates vary depending on the distance from the DSL access multiplexer (DSLAM), DSLAM type, line card and chipset, and firmware, noise profile, quality of copper, etc. The reach-extended ADSL2 standard (G.992.3) Annex L increases performance on loop lengths greater than 16,000 feet from the Central Office. |
