November 16 2017 , Written by Cisco & Cisco Router, Network Switch Published on #Networking, #Cisco Routers, #Cisco & Cisco Network, #Cisco News

Cisco 1000 Series ISRs, Cisco’s newest fixed, high-performance routers, small yet powerful, are easy to deploy and manage with advanced capabilities.

They provide highly secure broadband, Metro Ethernet, and wireless LAN connectivity. 

The Cisco 1000 Series ISR platform with a small form factor is best suited for small and midsize businesses, enterprise branches, and as customer premises equipment in managed services environments.

  1. The routers come in two models: an 8-LAN-port option and a 4-LAN-port option.
  2.  

  3. They have high performance with Gigabit Ethernet packet forwarding capabilities. The multicore architecture has separate cores for data plane and control plane.
  4. The 1000 Series ISRs support Power over Ethernet (PoE) and PoE+ to power branch devices such as IP phones and cameras.
  5. They are easy to deploy with zero-touch provisioning using Plug-and-Play capability. There are multiple LAN, WLAN, WAN, and LTE combinations to choose from, depending on your branch needs.
  6. The 1000 Series can be used in ATMs, retail stores, and kiosks, as well as for various other purposes.

The Cisco 1000 Series Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) are the latest high end fixed routing ISRs. They are based on Cisco IOS® XE Software, with great performance at a low price point, perfect for small and midsize businesses, for enterprise branches, and as Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) in managed services environments. They address increased mobility demands with LTE Advanced and 802.11ac (Wave 2) Wi-Fi.

The key difference between the 1000 Series ISRs and the 800 Series routers

More simple questions and answers help you know more about the new 1000 Series ISRs

Q: Can I continue to order the 800 Series routers after the 1000 Series ISRs are orderable?

A: Yes, the 800 Series routers are not at end of sale or end of life. You can continue to order the 800 Series after the 1000 Series ISRs are orderable.

 

Q: What are the different models of the 1000 Series ISRs?

A: The 1000 Series ISRs have two primary models, with 8 LAN ports (C1100-8P) and 4 LAN ports (C1100-4P). Both come with varied combinations of WAN interfaces, LTE, and Wi-Fi options.

 

Q: What are the different SKUs/product IDs for the 1000 Series?

A: Multiple SKUs are available for the 8-port and 4-port models that offer a combination of WAN links (Gigabit Ethernet, DSL, and LTE) and wireless LAN capabilities. Please refer to the product ID table in the data sheet for the full list.

 

Q: What kind of CPU is used in the 1000 Series ISRs?

A: The naming convention for the 1000 Series ISR product IDs is given in the table below.

Q: What is the naming convention for the 1000 Series ISR product IDs?

A: The CPU in the 1000 Series ISRs is a 4-core ARM processor with separate cores used for data plane, data plane scheduler, and control plane. The fourth core is currently not used. There is a different crypto engine for cryptographic operations.

 

Q: What is the size of the DRAM on the 1000 Series ISR models? How much flash is available on the device?

A: Both the 4-LAN-port and 8-LAN-port 1000 Series ISRs come with 4 GB of RAM and 4 GB of flash storage by default.

 

Q: Are the 1000 Series ISRs fanless routers?

A: Yes, the 1000 Series ISRs are fanless, fixed branch routers with multiple WAN link options.

 

Q: What Cisco IOS Software version is supported on the 1000 Series ISRs?

A: The 1000 Series ISRs are based on Cisco IOS XE Software and will support the Cisco IOS XE 16.6.1 Universal image.

 

Licensing

Q: What is the license packaging model for the 1000 Series?

A: The licensing model for the 1000 Series ISRs uses the IP Base, App, and Security licenses. The 1000 Series comes with the IP Base license by default. For additional security features and Application Experience features, the Security and App licenses, respectively, have to be purchased.

Q: Is there a performance license for the 1000 Series ISRs?

A: A performance license is needed only for encrypted traffic of over 50 Mbps. With the IP Base and Security licenses, you can get up to 50 Mbps of IPsec throughput. On the 4-LAN-port model, you can purchase an IPsec Performance license for a 100-Mbps upgrade, and on the 8-LAN-port model, you can purchase an IPsec Performance license for a 200-Mbps upgrade.

 

Q: What features are part of the IP Base, App and Security licenses?

A: Please refer to the software licensing document for the 1000 Series ISRs, which will list all the features that are part of the different licenses available.

 

Q: Is the software license Right-to-Use (RTU)?

A: Yes, all the software licenses on the 1000 Series are Right-to-Use and do not need a license file to be installed.

 

Q: Will the 1000 Series support Cisco ONE™ licensing, and what license features will it cover?

A: Yes, the 1000 Series ISRs support Cisco ONE licenses. The Cisco ONE license will include the IP Base, App, and Security licenses for the platform. The IPsec Performance license will have to be purchased separately.

 

Hardware features

Q: Is the 1000 Series PoE and PoE+ capable?

A: Yes, the 8-LAN-port model supports either 4 PoE ports or 2 PoE+ ports. The 4-LAN-port model supports either 2 PoE ports or 1 PoE+ port. When PoE or PoE+ is ordered, the default 66W power supply is replaced with a 125W power supply for the 8-port model and with a 115W power supply for the 4-port model.
