!! Cisco 850 and 870 series routers... Cisco has just added in two new models in the 800 series range with a lot of enhancements...

Cisco 820 and 830 series routers 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. * Cisco 827 ''(No longer available due to Cisco Releasing the Cisco 837)'' * 1x [ADSL] Port * 1x 10 Mbps Ethernet Port * Cisco 827H ''(No longer available due to Cisco Releasing the Cisco 837)'' * 1x [ADSL] Port * 4x 10 Mbps Ethernet Ports comprising of a 4 port hub (seen as 1 router interface ''(Interface Ethernet 0)'') * Cisco 827-4V * 1x [ADSL] Port * 1x 10 Mbps Ethernet Port * 4x FXS Analog voice ports so you can do [VoIP] and see if Telecom really garrantees their QoS. * Cisco 837 * 1x [ADSL] Port * 4x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Ports comprising of a 4 port switch (seen as 1 router interface ''(Interface ~FastEthernet 0)'') * 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. * MDI/MDIX Autosensing * A lot faster and more powerful than the Cisco 827/827H * Built in Hardware VPN and Encryption Module * IDS (Intrusion Detection System) feature set built in the IOS along with IP Firewall * 12.3T (and later) release also has IPS (Intrusion Protection System) on top of IDS * More Flash, more RAM * Soho 97 * Around two thirds of the price of an 837 * Just a cut down edition of the 837 * 20% faster than a Cisco 827/827H * Yes! It runs IOS, it's not like the Cisco 700 ISDN Router * Software VPN and Encryption * Stateful IP Firewall * MDI/MDIX Autosensing * Excellent Box for the home user, has the relavent features you would expect in a bigger Cisco box * Soho 97 doesn't have the following features ''(Not that you need them for a home internet connection)'' * EIGRP, IGRP, OSPF, ISIS, Mobile Routes, or BGP * Earlier versions of IOS don't support IP CEF (CiscoExpressForwarding) on this router * Earlier versions of IOS don't support AAA Authentication on this router * Policy Based Routing * IDS Feature Set * [WCCP] (Web Cache Co-ordination Protocol) There is also the SOHO77 routers which aren't available in New Zealand that I know of.%%% 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 * Cisco 806 ''(The 806 router has suffered the same fate as the 827 - it has been replaced by the 831) * Same as the 827H except for the [ADSL] port now becoming an ethernet port * Cisco 831 * Same as the 837 except for the [ADSL] port now becoming an ethernet port * Got all those cool new features as the 837 * Soho 91 * Around two thirds of the price of an 831 * Just a cut down edition of the 831 * 20% faster than a Cisco 806 * Yes! It runs IOS, it's not like the Cisco 700 ISDN Router * Software VPN and Encryption * Stateful IP Firewall * MDI/MDIX Autosensing * Excellent Box for the home user, has the relavent features you would expect in a bigger Cisco box * Soho 91 doesn't have the following features ''(Not that you need them for a home internet connection)'' * EIGRP, IGRP, OSPF, ISIS, Mobile Routes, or BGP * Earlier versions of IOS don't support IP CEF (CiscoExpressForwarding) on this router * Earlier versions of IOS don't support AAA Authentication on this router * Policy Based Routing * IDS Feature Set * [WCCP] (Web Cache Co-ordination Protocol) ---- !! IOS Versions. In New Zealand, all the Cisco 800 series broadband and [ADSL] routers comes with two IOS feature sets. For the 827s and 806s * Comes standard with IP Firewall * Can be upgraded to IPSec (DES and 3DES) For the 837s and 831s * Comes standard with all the VPN/FW/IDS/IPS features depending on the IOS version. * Major component with the enhanced version is enabling the VPN HW Accelerator. ---- !!Tunneling 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. For IPSec tunnels to Linux machiens, see FreeSwanToCiscoAdsl. ---- !! Features 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. * Cisco IP Firewall Feature set * IDS/IPS depending on IOS * Additonal Ethernet (and 802.1Q) router interface(s) depending on the Model and/or IOS Release. * Optional VPN encryption software * A real router (Not a modem trying to be a router) * Connects to MetaNet ---- !! Pricing This year has been a very exciting year watching Cisco slash their prices. The prices have nearly halved since the 827s come out. If people are interested in bulk purchasing, that is not a problem, talk to LindsayDruett. ---- See also CiscoAdslRouter for an overview.%%% CategoryHardware
