Cisco 1841 Integrated Services Router with AIM-VPN/BPII-Plus and Cisco 2801 Integrated Services Router with AIM-VPN/EPII-Plus 

OL-8719-01

  Cisco 1841 and Cisco 2801 Routers

The Cisco 2801 router features a console port, an auxiliary port, Universal Serial Bus (USB) port, two 
high-speed WAN interface card (HWIC) slots, Voice interface card (VIC) slot, WIC/VIC slot, two10/100 
Fast Ethernet RJ45 ports, and a Compact Flash (CF) drive. The Cisco 2801 router has two slots for 
AIM-VPN/EPII-Plus cards

1

, two internal packet voice data modules (PVDMs), and two fast Ethernet 

connections. 

Figure 4

 and 

Figure 5

 show the front and read panels of the router. The front panel consists 

of 14 LEDs: two duplex LEDs, two speed LEDs, two link LEDs, two PVDM LEDs, two AIM LEDs, 
system status LED (SYS OK), system activity (SYS ACT) LED, inline power LED, and CF LED. The 
back panel has the power inlet and on/off switch.

The front panel contains the following:

  •

(1) VIC slot 

  •

(2) HWIC/WIC/VIC slot 0 

  •

(3) WIC/VIC slot

  •

(4) HWIC/WIC/VIC slot 1

  •

(5) Console port 

  •

(6) FE ports

  •

(7) System status and activity LEDs

  •

(8) Inline power LED

  •

(9) USB port

  •

(10) FE LEDs

  •

(11) Auxiliary port

  •

(12) CF LED

  •

(13) CF drive

The rear panel contains the following: 

  •

(1) Power inlet 

  •

(2) Power switch

  •

(3) Ground connector

Table 5

 provides more detailed information conveyed by the LEDs on the front panel of the router:
