Benefit
Option of integrated 8-port
10/100BASE-T managed switch
or integrated 8-port
10/100/1000BASE-T managed
switch
●
Fully managed LAN switch ports connect multiple LAN devices and reduce the need for an additional LAN
switch.
●
The Cisco 891, 892, and 892F support 10/100BASE-T.
●
The Cisco 892FSP, 896VA, 897VA, 898EA, and 891F support 10/100/1000BASE-T.
Integrated WAN backup
●
Refer to Table 1 for details about the backup WAN interface.
Real-time clock
●
A built-in, real-time clock maintains an accurate date and time for applications that require an accurate
time stamp, such as logging and digital certificates.
Enhanced security
●
An integrated stateful and application inspection firewall provides network perimeter security.
●
High-speed IPsec 3DES and AES encryption offers data privacy over the Internet.
●
Intrusion prevention enforces security policy in a larger enterprise or service provider network.
●
Web Security is supported with Cisco ScanSafe deployments.
Optional dual-radio or dual-band
IEEE 802.11n access point
●
The Cisco 890 Series offers a secure, integrated access point in a single device. It supports both
autonomous and unified modes. It is backward-compatible with 802.11a/b/g.
●
The router supports IEEE 802.11n draft 2.0 and uses multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) technology
that provides increased throughput, reliability, and predictability.
●
Refer to Table 1 for details about Wi-Fi options.
Separate console, auxiliary, and
USB ports
●
One auxiliary and one console port enable remote configuration and management.
●
The router has two USB 2.0 flash memory or security eTokens. Integrated USB ports can be configured to
work with an optional USB token for off-platform storage of VPN credentials or for deployment of
configurations stored on USB flash-memory devices.
Unified wireless management
●
Configuration and management of access points is automated and simplified without manual intervention.
●
A unified hybrid remote-edge access point (HREAP) provides the following:
◦
WLAN services to remote and branch offices without deploying a wireless LAN controller at each
location.
◦
Central configuration and control of unified WLAN services for remote offices through a WAN link.
◦
Flexibility in setting up wireless access at remote locations by specifying how traffic is to be bridged or
tunneled.
Cisco Configuration
Professional
●
Cisco Configuration Professional uses smart wizards and task-based tutorials, which resellers and
customers can use to quickly and easily deploy, configure, and monitor a Cisco access router without
requiring knowledge of the Cisco IOS Software CLI.
