Comprehensive introduction to Cisco router purchase points

At present, Cisco routers are widely used. We believe that with the development of the communication industry, the router technology will be more sophisticated and stable, bringing users a good network environment. Cisco not only divides the company into large and medium-sized enterprises, but also divides the company into branches and Group headquarters. Different companies have different series of products to serve them.

For example, the 1800 series products are more than sufficient for small and medium-sized enterprises in terms of functionality and quality. However, if your company is a branch of another company, and your "dad" is Ye Mao, if the scale of your branch is not enough, the use of the 1800 series products is still not suitable. For such small and medium branches, such as a foreign sales office, Cisco has launched a dedicated series, namely the 2600 series. This series of products is more suitable for enterprise branches. This series of Cisco router products can better communicate with the group's networks.

Of course, Cisco also provides specialized products for the group's headquarters. Cisco's series starting with 7, such as 7200 and 7600, can all be applied to the network environment of the Group headquarters. It can be seen that Cisco products of various series are clearly positioned. Network administrators can select the Cisco product series based on their company positioning. After setting this rough line, select the products in this series. Undoubtedly, this can make the network administrator more worry-free when deploying the network.

Large and small, consider key applications

After selecting the product series, the network administrator needs to check the products of different specifications in the series. Assume that I have selected the product to adopt the 2800 series. There are still four products in this series. Some people may say that either of them is not a good choice? However, the result is the opposite. Because the prices of these four products vary greatly. From the lowest 7000 to the highest 1500. Therefore, enterprises and network administrators who care about each other still need to use their brains.

The main difference between products in the same series is that they have different business capabilities in a specific aspect. For example, both Cisco2801 and Cisco2821 provide voice data processing capabilities. However, the latter is more professional in speech processing. For example, the Cisco vro 2821 supports integrated call processing and voice messaging.

Therefore, the author believes that network administrators should consider the applications deployed on the enterprise's current or future network when considering which product of the specific series to use. For example, if an enterprise now has a Cisco router that supports voice data independently, using 2821 Cisco router will be a waste of resources during network upgrades. Because the Cisco router used to process voice data is not very heavy, and now it still uses 2821 Cisco routers, it will lead to repeated investment.
