The Cisco 1751, a member of the Cisco 1700 Family, features a modular architecture that enables cost-effective upgrades and additions of WAN and voice interfaces. Integrated network services and functions, such as optional firewall, DSU/CSU, and VPN features, reduce the complexity of deploying and managing e-Business solutions. The Cisco 1751 offers investment protection when your business needs it, with a RISC architecture and features to support new technologies and applications such as voice/video/data/fax integration and VPNs. See Figure 2.


Figure 2: Cisco 1751 routers provide all necessary capabilities to connect to the Internet and communicate with vendors, customers, and other employees and offices.


The Cisco 1751 is available in two models that enable you to easily tailor an access solution to suit your e-Business requirements today and in the future. See Table 1.
Table 1: The Cisco 1751 Modular Access Router

Cisco 1751

Base Model

Includes everything an office needs for data networking now (16 MB Flash, 32 MB DRAM, and Cisco IOS IP software feature set), with a simple upgrade path to full voice functionality. WAN interface cards are available separately.

Cisco 1751-V

Multiservice Model

Includes all the features needed for immediate integration of data and voice services with support for up to two voice channels (32 MB Flash and 64 MB DRAM, one DSP, and Cisco IOS IP Plus Voice feature set). Voice and WAN interface cards are available separately.

All Cisco 1751 models offer three modular slots for voice and data interface cards, an autosensing 10/100BaseT Fast Ethernet LAN port supporting standards-based IEEE 802.1Q VLAN, a console port, and an auxiliary port. The Cisco 1751 supports the same WAN interface cards as the Cisco 1600, 1700, 2600, and 3600 routers, and the same voice interface cards and voice-over-IP (VoIP) technology as the Cisco 1700, 2600, and 3600 routers. This simplifies support requirements. The WAN interface cards support a wide range of services, including synchronous and asynchronous serial, Integrated Services Digital Network Basic Rate Interface (ISDN BRI), ADSL, and serial with DSU/CSU options for primary and backup WAN connectivity. The voice interface cards support Foreign Exchange Office (FXO), Foreign Exchange Station (FXS), Network and User Side Voice BRI (ISDN BRI NT/TE), and Ear & Mouth (E&M). Additionally, an Ethernet interface card provides the Cisco 1751 with dual-Ethernet capability to support the external broadband modem devices. See Figure 3.


Figure 3: Cisco 1751 Incorporating Ethernet WAN Interface Card (WIC) Deployed with Broadband Modem


In addition, dual-Ethernet capability on the Cisco 1751 enables the creation of perimeter/DMZ (demilitarized zone) LANs to enhance security by physically separating private and public data. See Figure 4.


Figure 4: Cisco 1751 Incorporating Ethernet WIC to Deploy Perimeter/DMZ LAN


Combined, these interfaces support a comprehensive set of applications, including multiservice voice/video/data/fax integration, Frame Relay, ISDN BRI, SMDS, X.25, broadband DSL and cable services, and VPNs.

Cisco IOS Technology

Internet and Intranet Access

Cisco IOS Software provides an extensive set of features that make the Cisco 1751 router ideal for flexible, high-performance communications across both intranets and the Internet:

Security

Cisco IOS Software supports an extensive set of basic and advanced network security features, including access control lists (ACLs); user authentication, authorization, and accounting (such as PAP/CHAP, TACACS+, and RADIUS); and data encryption. To increase security, the integrated Cisco IOS Firewall Feature Set protects internal LANs from attacks with context-based access control (CBAC) and Intrusion Detection (IDS), while IPSec tunneling with data encryption standard DES and 3DES encryption provide standards-based data privacy, integrity, and authenticity as data travels through a public network.

For remote access, VPNs, Layer 2 Forwarding (L2F), and Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) combine with IPSec encryption to provide a secure multiprotocol solution for IP, IPX, and AppleTalk traffic, and more. Mobile users can dial in to a service provider's local point of presence (POP) and data is "tunneled" (or encapsulated inside a second protocol such as IPSec or L2TP) back to the Cisco 1751 router to securely access the corporate network via the Internet.

Cisco IOS Software QoS Features

Through Cisco IOS Software, the Cisco 1751 Router delivers quality of service (QoS) capabilities, including Resource ReSerVation Protocol (RSVP), Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ), Committed Access Rate (CAR), and IP Precedence. These features enable businesses to prioritize traffic on their networks by user, application, traffic type, and other parameters, to ensure that business-critical data and delay-sensitive voice are appropriately prioritized.

Because the Cisco 1751 router provides robust voice compression, up to 8 voice calls can occupy a single 64K data channel simultaneously, without compromising data performance. Cisco IOS voice compression technology integrates data and voice traffic to enable efficient use of existing data networks.

High-Performance Architecture for VPNs and Broadband Service

A robust RISC architecture and Cisco IOS features enable the Cisco 1751 to support VPN applications with tunneling and security, as well as DSL, cable, and other broadband access technologies. An internal slot on the Cisco 1751 motherboard supports an optional VPN module that provides hardware-assisted IPSec DES and 3DES encryption at T1/E1 speeds. The Cisco 1751 equipped with the WIC-1ADSL supports VPN over ADSL service. See Figure 6. The Cisco 1751 with the uBR910 series cable DSU supports business-class broadband cable access. The Ethernet WIC (WIC-1ENET) provides an alternate method of deploying DSL/cable Internet access with the use of an external modem. In some cases, the ISP provides the broadband modem.


Figure 6: The Cisco 1751, deployed in conjunction with the ADSL WIC, enables SMB and small branch customers to reap the benefits of ADSL.


Network Management and Ease of Installation

The Cisco 1751 router supports a range of network-management and ease-of-installation tools:

Extending Cisco End-to-End Solutions

As part of the comprehensive Cisco end-to-end networking solution, the Cisco 1700 Series enables businesses to extend a cost-effective, seamless network infrastructure to the small branch office. The Cisco 1700 Family of access routers includes the Cisco 1751 and Cisco 1720—a modular device optimized for data-only connections. WAN cards work with both devices, as well as with Cisco 1600, 2600, and 3600 series routers. They are powered by Cisco IOS Software for robust WAN service between branches and central offices in organizations with multiple sites. Both feature RISC-based processors to provide performance for encryption and support for emerging broadband technologies.

The Cisco 1751 also shares VoIP technology and analog voice interface cards with Cisco 2600 and 3600 series routers. This feature provides an end-to-end solution for multiservices communications between offices, simplifying inventory needs and leveraging IT expertise across more devices in an organization.
