The Cisco 3600 Series provides ideal multiservice platforms for large and midsize
offices and smaller Internet service providers. This line is optimized for the broadest
application support, including legacy protocols, analog dial, high-density terminal
server aggregation, RAS, and ATM AAL2. With more than 70 modular interface
options, the Cisco 3600 Series provides solutions for data, voice, video, hybrid dial
access, virtual private networks (VPNs), and multiprotocol data routing, without the
time and expense of managing several devices.
Benefits and Advantages
Cisco 3600 Series
Consolidation/Integration
Combines the capabilities of dial access VPN,
advanced LAN-to-LAN routing services, and
multiservice integration of voice, video, data in
one platform, substantially reducing life cycle
costs compared to multiple-device solutions.
Integrated Flexible Routing
and Low-Density Switching
With the support of optional 16-port* 10/100
EtherSwitch network modules, branch offices
can take advantage of the flexibility of
integrated routing and switching functions
in one unit for low port densities.
This offers high-speed connections between
individual desktops, servers, and other network
resources in a single unit for Layer 2, and allows
WAN connection at Layer 3 through the router.
An optional external power chassis provides
power to IP phones and Aironet 802.11
Base Stations.
Versatility/Investment Protection
Includes regular introductions of network
modules addressing additional media and
applications support. Dozens of WAN interface
cards (WICs) and network modules (NMs) are
shared with the Cisco 1600, 1700, 2600, and
3700 series products. Modules can be
interchanged between small, midsize, and
regional branch offices.
Advanced Multiservice Support
Delivers rich quality of service (QoS) features
of Cisco IOS, and the power to support them
at bandwidths in excess of multiple T1/E1.
Features such as Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ),
IP Precedence, Resource Reservation Protocol
(RSVP) and Committed Access Rate (CAR)
provide both the traffic shaping and
prioritization necessary for a robust
multiservice platform that can handle
mission-critical networking.
* Only Cisco 3660 also accepts the 36-port EtherSwitch network module.
