Features/description |
Lightweight, compact size with low power consumption |
●Can be deployed in many different environments where space, heat dissipation, and low power consumption are critical factors. |
High performance to run concurrent services |
●High performance allows customers to take advantage of broadband network speeds while running secure, concurrent data, voice, video, and wireless services. |
High availability and business continuity |
● Redundant WAN connections for failover protection and load balancing.
● Dynamic failover protocols such as Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP; RFC 2338), Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP), and Multigroup HSRP (MHSRP). |
Consistent, high application performance levels |
● The router can run multiple services simultaneously with minimal performance degradation. |
Risk mitigation with multilevel security |
● Network perimeter security with integrated application inspection firewall.
● Data privacy through high-speed IP Security (IPsec) Triple Data Encryption Standard (3DES), and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption.
● High-performance VPNs: DMVPN, FlexVPN, GET VPN, EzVPN
● Cisco Umbrella™ security architecture to provide content filtering via category-based URL classification and blocking, thus helping increase productivity and providing better use of company resources.
● Enforced security policy with OpenDNS.
● Security hardware acceleration.
● Trustworthy systems with Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) and hardware anchor.
● Encrypted traffic analytics maintain integrity of encrypted flow |
Unified control of wired and wireless networks from a common console for streamlined operations |
● Simplifies and centralizes configuration and management of wireless and wireline devices. Supports WLAN services without requiring a wireless LAN controller.
● Supports Mobility Express for WLAN-enabled routers. |
Remote configuration and management to keep local IT staff lean |
● Supports separate console/auxiliary and USB ports.
● Can be configured to work with optional USB token.
● Supports TR-069. |
Performance
● Throughput
● Service reliability |
● Crypto performance up to 250 Mbps for 1100-8P and 150 Mbps for 1100-4P.
● A distributed multicore architecture with the industry’s first internal services plane.
● Remote installation of application-aware services that run identically to their counterparts in dedicated appliances. |
Lower WAN expenditures |
● Cisco Software-Defined WAN (SD-WAN) (over the Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller Enterprise Module [APIC-EM]) support for optimized WAN connection. |
Pay as you grow: IPsec performance upgrade model |
● Router IPsec capacity can be increased with a remote performance-on-demand license upgrade (no hardware upgrade) for exceptional savings andCapEx budget management. |
IT consolidation, space savings, and improved Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) |
● Single converged branch platform integrates routing, switching, security, and performance management capabilities. |
Business continuity and increased resiliency |
● The entire 1100 Series supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) and PoE+ power to endpoints. |
