Integrated Network Security for Data and Mobility
Security is essential to protect a business’ intellectual property while also ensuring business continuity and
providing the ability to extend the corporate workplace to employees who need anytime, anywhere access to
company resources. As part of the architectural framework of the SAFE Blueprint from Cisco that allows
organizations to identify, prevent, and adapt to network security threats, the Cisco 1900 Series ISRs facilitate
secure business transactions and collaboration.
The Cisco IOS Software Security technology package license for the Cisco 1900 Series offers a wide array of
common security features such as advanced application inspection and control, threat protection, and encryption
architectures for enabling more scalable and manageable VPN networks in one solution set. The Cisco 1921
offers native hardware-based encryption acceleration to provide greater IPsec throughput with less overhead for
the router processor when compared with software-based encryption solutions. Cisco ISRs offer a comprehensive
and adaptable security solution for branch-office routers that include features such as:
●
Secure connectivity: Achieve secure collaborative communications with Group Encrypted Transport VPN,
Dynamic Multipoint VPN (DMVPN), or Enhanced Easy VPN.
●
Integrated threat control: Respond to sophisticated network attacks and threats using Cisco IOS Firewall,
Cisco IOS Zone-Based Firewall, Cisco IOS IPS, and Cisco ScanSafe Web Security and Flexible Packet
Matching (FPM).
●
Identity management: Intelligently protect endpoints using technologies such as authentication,
authorization, and accounting (AAA) and public key infrastructure (PKI).

Mobility Services
Wireless WAN
Cisco 3G wireless WAN (WWAN) modules combine traditional enterprise router functions such as remote
management, advanced IP services such as voice over IP (VoIP), and security, with mobility capabilities of 3G
WAN access. Using high-speed 3G wireless networks, routers can replace or complement existing landline
infrastructure such as dialup, Frame Relay, and ISDN. Cisco 3G solutions support 3G standards High-Speed
Packet Access (HSPA+) and Evolution Data Only/Evolution Data Optimized (EVDO), offering you a true multipath
WAN backup and the ability to rapidly deploy primary WAN connectivity. For more information about 3G solutions
on Cisco ISRs, please visit

Integrated LAN Switching
The Cisco 1921 Integrated Services Router will support the EHWIC LAN modules when they become available in
the future. The Cisco 1921 supports the existing singlewide Cisco EtherSwitch
®
HWIC and the doublewide HWIC-
D modules, which greatly expand the capabilities of the router by integrating industry-leading Layer 2 switching.
Managing Your Integrated Services Routers
Network management applications are instrumental in lowering operating expenditures (OpEx) while improving
network availability by simplifying and automating many of the day-to-day tasks associated with managing an end-
to-end network. “Day-one device support” provides immediate manageability support for the ISR, enabling quick
and easy deployment, monitoring, and troubleshooting from Cisco and third-party applications.
