10 LindsayDruett 46 !! Cisco 820 and 830 series routers
8 DanielLawson 47
48 The [Cisco] So/Ho [ADSL] routers are commonly refered to as the [Cisco827] by CiscoNut~s, but there is an expanding range of the 800 series [ADSL] routers. Because of the enhancements made to the Cisco 837, and that the price of the 837 is cheaper than the 827 (and 827H), Cisco will no longer produce the 827 (and 827H), however, they will continue to support them.
49
50 * Cisco 827 ''(No longer available due to Cisco Releasing the Cisco 837)''
51 * 1x [ADSL] Port
52 * 1x 10 Mbps Ethernet Port
53 * Cisco 827H ''(No longer available due to Cisco Releasing the Cisco 837)''
54 * 1x [ADSL] Port
55 * 4x 10 Mbps Ethernet Ports comprising of a 4 port hub (seen as 1 router interface ''(Interface Ethernet 0)'')
56 * Cisco 827-4V
57 * 1x [ADSL] Port
58 * 1x 10 Mbps Ethernet Port
59 * 4x FXS Analog voice ports so you can do [VoIP] and see if Telecom really garrantees their QoS.
60 * Cisco 837
61 * 1x [ADSL] Port
62 * 4x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Ports comprising of a 4 port switch (seen as 1 router interface ''(Interface ~FastEthernet 0)'')
17 LindsayDruett 63 * With IOS version 12.3(14)T (and later) one additonal router interface can be configured which will use port 4 when enabled, this can be used for a DMZ Interface, creating two separate networks using a shared Internet connection, or if you change your Internet connection from an aDSL connection to a broadband connection that requires an Ethernet port.
8 DanielLawson 64 * MDI/MDIX Autosensing
65 * A lot faster and more powerful than the Cisco 827/827H
66 * Built in Hardware VPN and Encryption Module
67 * IDS (Intrusion Detection System) feature set built in the IOS along with IP Firewall
17 LindsayDruett 68 * 12.3T (and later) release also has IPS (Intrusion Protection System) on top of IDS
8 DanielLawson 69 * More Flash, more RAM
17 LindsayDruett 70
8 DanielLawson 71
72 * Soho 97
18 LindsayDruett 73 * Around two thirds of the price of an 837
74 * Just a cut down edition of the 837
8 DanielLawson 75 * 20% faster than a Cisco 827/827H
76 * Yes! It runs IOS, it's not like the Cisco 700 ISDN Router
77 * Software VPN and Encryption
78 * Stateful IP Firewall
79 * MDI/MDIX Autosensing
80 * Excellent Box for the home user, has the relavent features you would expect in a bigger Cisco box
81 * Soho 97 doesn't have the following features ''(Not that you need them for a home internet connection)''
82 * EIGRP, IGRP, OSPF, ISIS, Mobile Routes, or BGP
17 LindsayDruett 83 * Earlier versions of IOS don't support IP CEF (CiscoExpressForwarding) on this router
84 * Earlier versions of IOS don't support AAA Authentication on this router
8 DanielLawson 85 * Policy Based Routing
86 * IDS Feature Set
87 * [WCCP] (Web Cache Co-ordination Protocol)
88
89 There is also the SOHO77 routers which aren't available in New Zealand that I know of.%%%
90
18 LindsayDruett 91 Also in the same range of routers, are the broadband ethernet routers if you wish to have a wireless connection from Satlan, WiredCountry, or whoever. They are exactly the same except they have an ethernet port in place of the [ADSL] port along with the appropiate chip set and features
8 DanielLawson 92
93 * Cisco 806 ''(The 806 router has suffered the same fate as the 827 - it has been replaced by the 831)
94 * Same as the 827H except for the [ADSL] port now becoming an ethernet port
95 * Cisco 831
19 LindsayDruett 96 * Same as the 837 except for the [ADSL] port now becoming an ethernet port

104 * Software VPN and Encryption
105 * Stateful IP Firewall
106 * MDI/MDIX Autosensing
107 * Excellent Box for the home user, has the relavent features you would expect in a bigger Cisco box
108 * Soho 91 doesn't have the following features ''(Not that you need them for a home internet connection)''
109 * EIGRP, IGRP, OSPF, ISIS, Mobile Routes, or BGP
17 LindsayDruett 110 * Earlier versions of IOS don't support IP CEF (CiscoExpressForwarding) on this router
111 * Earlier versions of IOS don't support AAA Authentication on this router
8 DanielLawson 112 * Policy Based Routing

118 !! IOS Versions.
119
120 In New Zealand, all the Cisco 800 series broadband and [ADSL] routers comes with two IOS feature sets.

130 * Major component with the enhanced version is enabling the VPN HW Accelerator.
8 DanielLawson 131 ----
132
9 CraigBox 133 !!Tunneling
8 DanielLawson 134
135 GRE Tunneling can be done using the standard shipped IOS, however, if you wish to encrypt the GRE tunnel, then you will need to upgrade the IOS to IPSec feature set to use the DES or 3DES encryption.
9 CraigBox 136
137 For IPSec tunnels to Linux machiens, see FreeSwanToCiscoAdsl.

140
141 !! Features
142
143 As with all Cisco gear, you pay more than you would for something from DickSmith that is going to get you a connection to an [ADSL] network, but you get what you pay for.
144
145 * Cisco IP Firewall Feature set
17 LindsayDruett 146 * IDS/IPS depending on IOS
147 * Additonal Ethernet (and 802.1Q) router interface(s) depending on the Model and/or IOS Release.

154 !! Pricing
155
156 This year has been a very exciting year watching Cisco slash their prices. The prices have nearly halved since the 827s come out.
