Cisco Integrated Services Router with/multimode G.SHDSL EFM EHWIC Applications

Business-Class DSL with Backup WAN

The Cisco ISR and ISR G2 routers with the 4-pair G.SHDSL EFM EHWIC provide a business-class DSL solution

for WAN access along with the option of a backup WAN interface (asymmetric DSL [ADSL] and ADSL2+, very-

high-data-rate DSL 2 [VDSL2], ISDN Basic Rate Interface [BRI], T1/E1, analog modem, cable modem, third- and

fourth-generation [3G and 4G, respectively], etc.) for mission-critical applications. The bonding feature offered on

the G.SHDSL EFM EHWIC allows service providers to bond two or more pairs of G.SHDSL links to offer

differentiated bandwidth based on SLAs.

Business-Class Security

The Cisco ISR G2 routers with the multimode G.SHDSL EFM EHWICs can be optimized for Internet security with

the Cisco IOS Firewall supporting stateful-inspection-firewall and intrusion-prevention-system features. These

platforms can also be optimized for VPNs to allow for secure use of the Internet for communications with the same

policies and levels of security and performance as a private network. VPNs provide security through encryption

tunneling, and the Cisco routers support hardware-based Triple Data Encryption Standard (3DES) IP Security

(IPsec), Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), and Secure Sockets Layer VPN (SSL VPN). Encryption features

can be enabled on the routers with the Advanced Security or any later feature set of the Cisco IOS Software.

Further, Cisco ISR G2 Web Security with Cisco ScanSafe enables branch offices to intelligently redirect web traffic

to the cloud to enforce granular security and control policy over dynamic Web 2.0 content, protecting branch-office

users from threats such as Trojan horses, back doors, rogue scanners, viruses, and worms.

Differentiated Service Offerings through IP

Using Cisco QoS features, including Class-Based Weighted Fair Queuing (CBWFQ), Low-Latency Queuing (LLQ),

Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED), etc., the Cisco Integrated Services Routers Generation 2 with the

G.SHDSL EHWIC help service providers and resellers offer services that can differentiate bandwidth based on a

specific application or a specific user.

Metro Ethernet

Service providers could also run Layer 2 Ethernet Services and provide Transparent LAN Services over a Metro

Ethernet infrastructure. Service providers could take advantage of ISR G2 support for Xconnect on over

Multiprotocol Label Switching (SVIEoMPLS) over generic routing encapsulation (GRE) with Static Pseudowire

Provisioning and L2PT on Layer 2 ports, Dot1Q tunnel mode support on Layer 2 ports, customizable L2PT

tunneling MAC address etc., and provide these Layer 2 Ethernet services.

Converged Platform for SMB and Enterprise Branch-Office Applications

The Cisco 1921,1941, 2900, and 3900 Integrated Services Router platforms with the multimode G.SHDSL EFM

EHWICs offer you a choice of converged platforms that offer best-of-class data, security, WAN access, and voice

services in a single system. The Cisco 2900 and 3900 Series Routers embed voice functions directly inside the

router, enabling you to deploy voice services by installing Cisco High-Density Packet/Voice Digital Signal

Processor (DSP) Modules (PVDM3) and Cisco Integrated Services Modules (ISMs) for IP telephony conferencing,

voice gateways, and Cisco Unity

Express voicemail and Automated Attendant. For call processing, you can

enable the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express solution as part of Cisco IOS Software and

reconfigure the same software to support Cisco Survivable Remote Site Telephony (SRST) for centralized call

processing with Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
