Cisco® 890 Series Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) combine Internet access, comprehensive security, and wireless services in a single high-performance device that is easy to deploy and manage. They are well suited for deployment as Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) in enterprise small branch offices and in service provider managed-service environments.
Cisco 890 Series ISRs deliver integrated security and threat defense, protecting networks from both known and new Internet vulnerabilities and attacks. These powerful, fixed-configuration routers provide secure broadband, Metro Ethernet, and Wireless LAN (WLAN) connectivity. Service providers offering managed Ethernet WAN services can deploy them in customer locations as CPE. You get centralized and remote management capabilities through web-based tools and Cisco IOS® Software for full visibility and control of network configurations at the remote site.
The 890 routers simplify the deployment of Ethernet WAN services, with end-to-end Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OA&M), Service-Level Agreement (SLA) monitoring and verification, and configuration management.
Cisco 890 Series ISRs come with an 8-port managed switch, providing LAN ports to connect multiple devices. An optional Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) capability can also supply power to IP phones and other devices. Eleven Cisco 890 Series models are available: Figure 1 shows the front and back of one, the Cisco 892FSP.
Secure network connectivity
Cisco 890 series routers deliver high performance with integrated security and threat defense. Network security has become a fundamental building block of any network, and Cisco routers play an important role in embedding security at the customer's access edge. Cisco IOS Content Filtering uses an innovative website caching and rating architecture to deliver the scalability and flexibility of an enterprise-class filtering solution, at a breakthrough price point. This solution is scalable and easy to maintain, ideally suited for small businesses and enterprise small branch offices.
Metro Ethernet connectivity
Cisco 890 series routers are ideal for service provider deployments as Metro Ethernet customer premises equipment (CPE). Cisco 892 Integrated Services Routers include two onboard WAN interfaces, one Gigabit Ethernet WAN port, and one Fast Ethernet WAN port to support the high-bandwidth demands of Metro Ethernet deployments. The router also provides failover protection and load balancing. The Cisco 890 series provides significant value to customers by simplifying deployment of Ethernet WAN services with end-to-end OAM, SLA monitoring and verification, and configuration management, resulting in increased operational efficiency and reduced operating expenses (OpEx).
High availability
Cisco 890 series routers enable customers to deliver high-performance and high-availability, mission-critical business applications. These capabilities include Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) (RFC 2338), Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP), Multigroup HSRP (MHSRP), and dial backup with external modem through a virtual auxiliary port. Cisco 890 series routers are integrated with ISDN BRI for a secondary WAN backup connection. If the primary Ethernet-access WAN is disconnected, the router detects this failure and fails over to the secondary backup WAN.
Integrated Wireless LAN capability
The Cisco 890 series is ideal for enterprise small branch offices and small businesses that need to be connected to larger enterprise networks. These routers help extend corporate networks to secure remote sites while giving users access to the same applications found in a corporate office. They provide increased reliability for diversity of wireless data, voice, and video applications. When users require WLAN access, visibility and control of network security are even more critical at the remote site. The Cisco 890 series meets this need with a single device that combines integrated 802.11 a/g/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).
