Cisco IOS Software
Modeled after the Cisco 2500 and Cisco 3600, the Cisco 2600
Series supports a full range of Cisco IOS features. With twenty
different feature sets, a wide variety of intranet, multiprotocol,
Quality of Service (QoS), and legacy IBM applications in use
today are supported. The Cisco 2600 Series offers four base
protocol feature sets and a combination of premium feature
options including the Plus, encryption and firewall feature sets.
The base feature sets are:
•IP
• IP/IPX/AppleTalk/DEC
• Enterprise
• Enterprise APPN
The Base feature sets support popular protocols and standards
such as NAT, OSPF, Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), Remote
Access Dial-In User Service (RADIUS), IP Multicast, RMON,
and WAN optimization features (such as Bandwidth on Demand;
Custom, Priority and Weighted Fair Queueing, Dial Back-up and
RSVP).
The following Premium feature sets are offered in combination
with the above base feature sets:
• Plus
• Plus with IPSec Encryption (56-bit and 168-bit with 3DES)
• Firewall
• Plus Firewall
• Plus with Encryption and Firewall
The Plus feature sets contain an additional number of value-added
features such as legacy mainframe protocols, DLSw, L2TP, L2F,
Voice/Data integration, Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM),
VLANs, Netflow, etc. Additional feature sets include IPSec, and
3DES encryption as well as ICSA certified Firewall capabilities
with intrusion detection.
The Remote Access Services feature set includes various
management, multicast, security (excluding encryption), protocol
translation, remote node and terminal services and some LAN and
WAN service and optimization protocols but excludes some of the
above base feature set standards.
The Cisco 2600 also supports the Cisco IOS IP/H.323
Gatekeeper feature set providing the H.323 industry standard
gatekeeper functionality needed for scalable multiservice
networks. As a H.323 gatekeeper, the Cisco 2600 is dedicated to
supporting video conferencing call-setup, proxy, directory
maintenance among other responsibilities; it does not support
multi-protocol routing.
A more detailed list of features can be found in the Cisco IOS
release notes for the Cisco 2600. The memory requirements for a
given feature set can be found in the Cisco 2600 software features
and memory requirements product bulletin.
Management
The Cisco 2600 Series is manageable by CiscoWorks2000,
CiscoView, Cisco Voice Manager, Cisco QoS Policy Manager
version 1.1, and ConfigMaker network management tools. When
the Cisco 2600 Series is deployed with LAN switching products
such as the Cisco Catalyst 1900, 2820, or 2900XL Series,
CiscoView allows the entire branch office solution to be viewed
as a single object, simplifying the process of managing remote
network equipment. The Cisco 2600 Series also features
enhanced setup, which enables administrators to configure the
system by answering a series of simple, context-sensitive
questions without worrying about the correct command-line
syntax. The Cisco AutoInstall feature allows automatic
configuration across a WAN connection, saving the time and
expense of sending a technician to a remote site.
Applications
As part of an end-to-end Cisco network solution, the Cisco 2600
Series extends the versatility, integration, and power to corporate
branch offices. By deploying the Cisco 2600 Series router,
companies can consolidate the functions of multiple separate
devices into a single, compact package that can be managed
remotely. Because the Cisco 2600 Series is modular, interface
configurations are easily customized to accommodate a
wide variety of network applications, such as branch office data
access, multiservice voice/data integration, dial access services,
VPN access and firewall protection, inter-VLAN routing and serial
device concentration.
Routing and Bandwidth Management
Today’s enterprise networks have become increasingly complex.
As companies grow, the diversity of protocols, LAN media, WAN
services, and networking equipment required to provide
mission-critical network services increase dramatically.
Requirements for new network applications and services are
growing much faster than the size of the IT organization required
to support them. With extensive support for multiprotocol data
routing, voice/data integration, and dial access services, the Cisco
