Cisco Part Number: C8130-VAI-G2 is a Cisco 8100 Secure Router with 5x1GE, 1xXGSPON/10G BASE-T and 1x RJ-11 DSL (Annex B/J)

Cisco C8130-VAI-G2 Secure Router

The Cisco C8130-VAI-G2 is a compact Cisco 8100 Series Secure Router designed to provide secure, reliable connectivity for small branch offices and distributed business environments. Combining enterprise-grade routing, security and SD-WAN capabilities in an energy-efficient form factor, it is well suited to organisations requiring flexible WAN connectivity and simplified network management.

The C8130-VAI-G2 is particularly suitable for deployments where VDSL/ADSL connectivity is required alongside modern Ethernet and high-speed WAN interfaces. The integrated DSL interface supports VDSL2 as well as ADSL, while the dedicated XGSPON/10G BASE-T port provides a flexible path towards higher-speed broadband services.

Key Features

• 5 x 1GbE interfaces for LAN and WAN connectivity
• 1 x 1GbE RJ-45/SFP combo port for flexible copper or fibre connectivity
• 1 x XGSPON/10G BASE-T port for high-speed WAN connections
• 1 x RJ-11 DSL port supporting VDSL/ADSL over ISDN (Annex B/J)
• 2 additional 1GbE RJ-45 flex ports and 2 1GbE RJ-45 LAN ports
• RJ-45 console port and USB Type-C 3.0 for out-of-band management
• Hardware-accelerated networking and security
• Support for Cisco IOS XE routing and Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN
• Compact, fanless design suited to small branch environments

Performance and Security

The C8130-VAI-G2 delivers up to 1.9 Gbps forwarding throughput and up to 1.5 Gbps IPsec throughput. It supports up to 280,000 IPv4 routes, 260,000 IPv6 routes, 100,000 NAT sessions and 250 IPsec tunnels, providing substantial capacity for demanding branch deployments.

Built around Cisco's secure networking architecture, the router provides platform-level security and is designed for secure routing and SD-WAN applications. Its SD-WAN capability supports centralised policy control, application-aware traffic management and secure connectivity across distributed locations.

Flexible Deployment

The Cisco C8130-VAI-G2 can be deployed as a traditional router or as part of a Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN environment. It supports desktop, under-desk, DIN-rail and rack-mount installation options, making it suitable for offices and other space-constrained locations.

With its combination of DSL, Ethernet, fibre-ready connectivity, strong IPsec performance and compact design, the Cisco C8130-VAI-G2 provides a flexible foundation for secure branch networking and modern WAN deployments.
