Cisco C866VAE-K9 - Integrated Services Router

Cisco Part Number: C866VAE-K9 is a Cisco 866VAE Secure Routers with VDSL2/ADSL2+ over ISDN

The Cisco 860VAE Series Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) are versatile, fixed-configuration routers designed to meet a range of business needs. From providing basic connectivity for casual teleworkers to delivering secure collaboration for enterprise teleworkers, these routers are tailored to various requirements.

For service providers, the Cisco 860VAE ISRs offer opportunities for tiered basic or secure managed Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) devices. These routers support multiple Wide Area Network (WAN) technologies within a single unit, including Gigabit Ethernet (GE), ADSL2+, or VDSL2, allowing for flexibility in deployment. With a shared architecture across its variants, the Cisco 860VAE enables consistent management across different scenarios.

These routers, designed in a compact fanless desktop form factor, offer improved performance and state-of-the-art xDSL features compared to the older Cisco 860 Series ISRs.

Key features of the Cisco C866VAE-K9 Integrated Services Routers include:

• Cost-effective Connectivity: Provides basic or secure connectivity with Quality of Service (QoS) for teleworkers and managed CPE devices for service providers.
• Compact Form Factor: The metallic desktop design with a fanless ISR allows for easy deployment in home or office settings.
• WAN Diversity: Supports Gigabit Ethernet or Multimode VDSL2/ADSL2+ on the same router, facilitating deployment across various scenarios with a common architecture and consistent configurability.
• State-of-the-art xDSL Features: Offers enhanced xDSL features and interoperability, along with improved performance with services.
• Switch Ports: Base models feature a four-port 10/100 Fast Ethernet (FE) managed switch with five VLANs, along with one Gigabit Ethernet LAN port for secure routers. Wireless models include three 10/100 Fast Ethernet switch ports and two Gigabit Ethernet switch ports, with 2.4 GHz 802.11n FCC- or ETSI-compliant wireless LAN.
• Enhanced Security and QoS: Secure routers come with advanced security features and QoS, including BGP, Low-Latency Queuing (LLQ), Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ), class-based traffic shaping, traffic policing, IPsec tunnels, Network-Based Application Recognition (NBAR), and Differentiated Services (DiffServ).
• Ports and Connectivity: Includes CON/AUX port for console or external modem, one USB 2.0 port for booting from USB or loading configuration, and IPv6 support on all models.

In summary, the Cisco 860VAE Series ISRs offer a comprehensive solution for businesses and service providers alike, providing reliable connectivity, enhanced security, and flexible deployment options. Whether for teleworkers or managed CPE devices, these routers deliver high performance and interoperability in a compact and convenient package.
