The Cisco

®

 3700 Series Multiservice Access Routers are a family of modular routers that

enable flexible and scalable deployment of new e-business applications for the Full Service

Branch (FSB) office. The Cisco 3700 Series routers optimize the branch office with high

performance routing, integrated low density switching, Security, Voice, IP Telephony, voice

mail, Video and Content Networking in a single integrated solution. This unique integrated

design enables enterprise customers to incrementally adapt to evolving business needs by

enabling important services delivered by Cisco IOS

®

, such as Quality of Service (QoS),

IP Multicast, VPN, Firewall, and Intrusion Detection, with the performance required for

tomorrows’ business challenges. The Cisco 3700 Multiservice Access Routers are based

on the same modular concepts as the Cisco 3600 Series but enable dramatically higher levels

of performance and service integration for the branch office.

The Cisco 3725 and Cisco 3745 provide on-board LAN/WAN connectivity, new high-

density service modules (HDSM), and support for multiple Advanced Integration Modules

(AIMs) to deliver the highest levels of service density for the enterprise branch office today.

Improving on the success of the Cisco 3600 Series’ modular architecture, these highly

integrated platforms deliver a compelling value proposition with by integrating components

previously purchased separately, such as two fixed 10/100 LAN ports and additional

memory. With the options of two or four network module slots—which can be adjusted to

accept the HDSM modules—three WAN Interface Card (WIC) slots, and two on-board AIM

slots, the Cisco 3700 offers many flexible options to enable high densities of services.

Providing support for the majority of LAN and WAN interfaces available today on the

Cisco 3600 Series platforms reinforces Cisco investment protection promise and maximizes

the flexibility of these platforms for the future.

The modular Cisco 3700 Series Multiservice Access Routers leverage network modules

(NMs),WAN Interface Cards (WICs), and Advanced Integration Modules (AIMs) from the

Cisco 1700, 2600, and 3600 Series Routers for WAN Access, Voice Gateway, Security,

Content, and Dial applications. In addition, the Cisco 3725 and Cisco 3745 introduce a new,

doublewide form factor, that provides support for the high density services modules

(HDSM’s). The Cisco 3745 with four network module slots can accept up to two HDSM’s
