Cisco 880 Series Integrated Services Routers: A Secure, Flexible, Easy-To-Manage Router To Connect Small Businesses
Product Overview
Cisco 880 Series Integrated Services Routers are fixed-configuration routers that provide the
performance, security, mobility, and manageability you need for effective business collaboration.
This flexible family of routers lets you connect your business in the way that best meets your needs
by offering concurrent services over broadband. You can connect to the Internet over 3G, Metro
Ethernet, and multiple types of DSL. The Cisco 880 Series Integrated Services Routers offer:

The Cisco 880 Series is ideally suited for small office and remote office deployments. The router
provides a highly secure onsite Internet connection, using the broadband connection that works
best for your business. In addition, it lets you extend your network beyond the main office to
employees working from home, at Wi-Fi hotspots, or at other offices. These offsite employees can
use the same network resources available in the main office, using a highly secure VPN. Built-in
wireless networking lets you enable employees to stay securely connected while roaming around
the workplace. You can centrally manage the remote site to quickly troubleshoot any network
issues. Together, the built-in wireless and security services simplify the management of network
devices.
Figure 3 shows a scenario for deploying the Cisco 880 Series with a backup 3G network
connection.
The Cisco 880 Series lets small businesses improve business resiliency with a built-in 3G or ISDN
backup network connection. If the primary network connection should fail, the backup connection
will ensure that network connectivity is uninterrupted. The 3G allows you to provide data access in
areas where wireless LAN access is not available.
● Increased performance to run concurrent services: High performance lets you take
advantage of broadband network speeds while running highly secure, concurrent data,
voice, video, and wireless services.
● Enhanced security to protect business data: A built-in stateful inspection firewall protects
the network perimeter with advanced security. High-speed IP security (IPSec) Triple Data
Encryption Standard (3DES) and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption help
ensure data privacy over the Internet. Sophisticated IPS helps detect and mitigate security
threats. Built-in security solution includes subscription-based content filtering that lets you
control content based on category to protect against adware, malware, and spyware; help
employees stay productive; and improve use of company resources.

● Redundant WAN links for business continuity: The Cisco 880 Series helps ensure that
your network stays operational with dual WAN links. In the event of an outage in the primary
link, the backup link is activated to keep the network available and your business operating.
● 4-port switch to connect office devices: The 4-port 10/100-Mbps managed switch allows
multiple devices to be connected in a small office. An optional external PoE adapter lets you
power IP phones and external access points directly over the Ethernet connection, without
an external power supply, simplifying deployment and eliminating the need to install
separate power supplies for connected endpoints. VLAN support lets you securely segment
your network resources for stronger security and management.
● Optional 802.11g/n wireless access point: An optional built-in access point supports
802.11n features and is backward compatible with the 802.11b and g standards. For
increased wireless throughput and range, the router includes multiple-input, multiple-output
(MIMO) antennas for reliable coverage in a small office. Wireless connectivity is protected
with Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA); authentication with IEEE 802.1X with Cisco LEAP and
Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP); and encryption with WPA Temporal
Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP).
● Simplified deployment and management: You can easily deploy and centrally manage
Cisco 880 Series routers with Cisco Configuration Professional. Using smart wizards and
task-based tutorials, this intuitive GUI-based application lets you quickly and easily deploy,
configure, and monitor a Cisco access router, without requiring knowledge of commands-
line interface (CLI). Cisco Configuration Professional reduces the time your staff must
devote to network deployment and configuration. It is available for download free of charge
at http://www.cisco.com/go/ccp.
● Unified wireless management: Provides automated and simplified configuration and
management of wireless access points without manual intervention. Unified hybrid remote-
edge access point (HREAP) lets you deliver wireless LAN (WLAN) services to remote and
branch offices through a wide area network link (WAN). You can centrally configure and
control unified WLAN services without deploying a WLAN controller at each location.
