Cisco 2505, Cisco 2507, Cisco 2516

The Cisco 2505, 2507, and 2516 are fully integrated hub/routers that enable remote offices to provide both LAN and internetwork connectivity. These hub/routers combine the functions of a standalone hub and router in one chassis to provide simpler setup, improved serviceability and reliability, and integrated remote Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) network management.

Cisco 2516: ISDN Port Enables High-Speed, Low-Cost WAN Access

The Cisco 2516 includes an Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) Basic Rate Interface (BRI) port, allowing dial-up, high-speed access up to 128 kilobits per second (kbps). In addition, through the BRI port, dial-up access is provided for backup or for low-cost, high-speed connectivity to private or public internetworks. The two high-speed, synchronous serial WAN interfaces on each model deliver unprecedented flexibility, enabling access to leased lines, packet- and circuit-switched services, as well as support of legacy systems such as IBM Synchronous Data Link Control (SDLC) devices.

Two serial ports on the Cisco 2516 enable remote offices to support local SDLC devices, as well as high-speed access to core locations. The ISDN BRI port provides cost-effective connections to public or private networks using dial-up lines.

All models use low-cost, unshielded twisted-pair cable wired in a star configuration for easy installation and offer from 8 (Cisco 2505), 14 (Cisco 2516), or 16 (Cisco 2507) Ethernet 10BaseT hub ports. No hub-to-router cabling is required -- everything is neatly contained in one compact desktop, rack-, or wall-mounted chassis. The switch-selectable media dependent interface/hub interface (MDI/MDI-X) on the Cisco 2516 allows easy expansion by enabling additional units to be daisy-chained together using one of the 10BaseT ports.

Central Network Management Eliminates Need for Remote Site Expertise

Cisco's hub/routers are easily managed from a central site using the CiscoWorks[tm] graphical network management applications. Rather than managing a router and hub separately, CiscoWorks manages each hub/router with one consistent user interface. In addition, managers at central sites can:

• Configure hub ports using CiscoWorks. This suite of management applications automatically "learns" the model and hardware configuration of the device and provides a hub port configuration window.
• Graphically depict the router and hub physical configuration, including interface and port descriptions.
• Depict the status of interfaces and ports to easily identify problems at a glance.
• Troubleshoot routine problems, including resetting a port or interface and gathering traffic statistics.

Cisco Internetwork Operating System Feature Sets

Cisco 2500 hub/routers can be ordered with any of seven >Cisco Internetwork Operating Systems™ (Cisco IOS) feature sets. They range from low-cost, IP-specific feature sets to Enterprise (EN) sets that contain the full Cisco IOS™ protocol suite. Each set includes Cisco's unique AutoInstall capability, the "plug-and-play" router feature that allows rapid, economical router installation with minimal expertise at remote sites.

Breadth of Software Functionality Delivers Cost Savings

Cisco 2500 hub/routers are available with a range of software features that deliver significant savings on transmission costs. Dial-on-demand routing (DDR) facilitates use WAN links only when necessary. This reduces the cost of wide-area access and makes efficient use of ISDN or serial dial-up lines as alternatives to costly leased lines. The Cisco 2500 family of hub/routers also supports link compression for up to 128 kbps with Link Access Procedure, Balanced (LAPB) encapsulation, X.25 payload compression, and Frame Relay header compression.

Dial backup provides a more economical solution than a second leased line when users require a backup link for disaster recovery. If access over the primary WAN link fails, the second dial-up line is automatically brought on line. This feature also supports the activation of a second line for load-share traffic if the primary link becomes congested.
