Cisco 2600 Series Modular Access Routers

As part of a scalable Data Communications Network (DCN) solution, including the Cisco Catalyst^® 2950G-24-DC switch, Catalyst 2924M-XL switch, Catalyst 4003-DC switch, Cisco 3662-AC/DC-CO, Cisco 3631-CO, and Cisco 2600 Series modular access platforms, the Cisco 2600 Series supports central office (CO) serial, X.25 and Internet protocol/open system interconnection (IP/OSI) interfaces for operations management in Service Provider, Inter-Exchange Carrier (IXC), and Post, Telephone and Telegraph (PTT) networks. The Cisco DCN solution supports synchronous optical network/synchronous digital hierarchy (SONET/SDH) network element (NE) connectivity for alarm monitoring and control, remote provisioning, and software download. Other operations systems network applications include local number portability and billing data collection. In addition, competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs) can use the Cisco 2600 insmall point of presences (POPs) or central office colocations for digital subscriber line access multiplexers (DSLAMs), voice switches, and transmission operations networking.

New Models in Cisco 2600 DC Family: 2600XM-DC and 2691-DC

The Cisco 2600XM-DC models provides the same proven technology of the previous Cisco 2600 Series platforms, including Cisco IOS^® software mainline feature support and the modularity of Network Modules (NMs), WAN Interface Cards (WICs) and Advanced Integration Modules (AIMs). The Cisco 2691-DC-U model provides the same module support as the 2600XM, increased performance (up to 70kbps), and even greater density and scalability.

The modular architecture of the Cisco 2600 Series allows interfaces to be upgraded to accommodate network expansion or changes in technology as new services and applications are deployed. Service providers can integrate the functions of multiple, separate devices into a single, compact unit, thereby reducing the complexity of managing DCN infrastructures. For example, the Cisco 2600 Series supports connectivity to legacy asynchronous and X.25 devices as well as standards-based IPdevices, facilitating a graceful migration from legacy to next generation network elements. Driven by a powerful RISC processor, the Cisco 2600 Series provides the extra power needed to support the advanced quality of service (QoS), higher bandwidth and security features required for connecting to today's Network Operation Center (NOC) systems.

The Cisco 2600 Series meets service provider's critical physical requirements for equipment depth fitting right alongside transmission equipment on standard 12 inch deep racks, and occupying only 1RU to 2RU in height. Offered in seven base configurations supporting fixed single or dual local-area network (LAN) ports, each Cisco 2600 also includes one network module slot, two wide-area network (WAN) interface card slots and one or two advanced integration module (AIM) slots. Rear access cabling allows easy connectivity; the modular design shares a large number of modules with the Cisco 3600 and 3700 Series, permitting fast servicing of Field Replaceable Units (FRUs). DC, AC and redundant AC power supply adapter modules are also field replaceable. Network Equipment Building Standards (NEBS) Level 3/ETSI compliance is achieved when used with the Cisco 2600's optional NEBs/ETSI kit. Common Language Equipment Identification (CLEI) coding is provided for easy identification and tracking of central-office equipment. Robust network management capability for the Cisco DCN solution is achieved by using the CiscoWorks Management Software or the IE2100 appliance.

Cisco 2600 Series Chassis Options

Each of the Cisco 2610XM-DC through Cisco 2651XM DC versions supports one Network Module (NM) slot, two WAN Interface Card slots, and one AIM slot, along with one or two fixed LAN ports, one asynchronous auxiliary port and one console port. The Cisco 2691-DC-U version supports one Network Module (NM) slot, three WAN Interface Card slots, and two AIM slots, along with two fixed LAN ports, one asynchronous auxiliary port and one console port. These slots share more than 50 different modules across four Cisco product lines—the Cisco 1700 Series, the Cisco 2600 Series, the Cisco 3600 Series and the Cisco 3700 Series.

The Cisco 2600 DC Series is available in a number of base configurations:

•CISCO2610XM/11XM-DC

•CISCO2612-DC

•CISCO2620XM/21XM-DC

•CISCO2650XM/51XM-DC

•CISCO2691-DC-U

Additionally a spare DC power supply can be ordered for field upgrades or replacements:

•PWR-2600-DC= Cisco 2600/2600XM DC power supply spare

•PWR-2691-DC-U= Spare Universal Power Supply 24 to 48 volts

Refer to Table 2, Cisco 2600 Series System Specifications for detailed product information

Note:AC & RPS power supply versions are also available.

The WAN interface cards available for the Cisco 1700, 2600, 3600, 3700 platforms support a variety of serial, Integrated Services Digital Network Basic Rate Interface (ISDN BRI), and integrated CSU/DSU options for primary and backup WAN connectivity. Network modules available for the Cisco 2600 and 3700 Series support a broad range of applications, including multiservice voice/data integration, analog and ISDN dial access, and serial device concentration. The internal Data Compression AIM for the Cisco 2600 Series off-loads the task of performing high-speed data compression from the Cisco 2600's main CPU, allowing compressed data throughput of up to 8-Mbps while preserving external interface slots for other applications.

Solution Application Notes

What follows are two examples that illustrate the versatility of the Cisco 2600 models in a CO environment. The first example depicts a Cisco 2600 as both an Ethernet/Asynchronous/Synchronous telemetry platform, and with the new Alarm Interface Controller network module (NM-AIC-64), facilitates remote alarm monitoring and control of vital network elements. A second application example depicts the Cisco 2600 with the new Ethernet Switch network module (NM-16ESW). The Cisco 2600 have been developed to accept a myriad of modules, allowing the user to custom tailor the platform to specialized network requirements.

Example Application #1: Security—Remote Alarm Monitoring and Control

Figure 4

Security—Remote Alarm Monitoring and Control

The alarm interface controller (AIC) is a network module that greatly expands the network monitoring and control capabilities of the Cisco 2600 and 3700 Series routers. The AIC functions as an integrated entity residing within the Cisco 2600 platform to provide network alarm monitoring and proactive remote control of network elements. The AIC reduces service-provider and enterprise operating expenses by facilitating an integrated solution to remote network management. This eliminates the need for a dedicated external alarm-monitoring device. Greatly simplifying network layout, monitoring, and control; resulting in lower operations, administration, maintenance, and provisioning (OAM&P) costs. The AIC is supported in Cisco IOS 12.2(8)T and later. The AIC network module supports 64 discrete alarm inputs, of which 8 of the last 64 alarm points are software-configurable to accept either analog or discrete inputs. The AIC further supports 16 control relays to facilitate the proactive remote control of network elements.

Example Application #2: Ethernet Switch Network Module

Figure 5

Ethernet Switch Network Module

The Cisco 16-port 10/100 Ethernet Switch Network Module (NM-16ESW) is a high-density ethernet network module that provides line-rate Layer 2 switching across Ethernet ports using Cisco IOS^® Catalyst Software. Features such as port autosensing, QoS and VLAN support from 802.1P and 802.1Q standards, and 802.1D Spanning Tree protocols are standard on the EtherSwitch module. The EtherSwitch offers service providers the option to integrate switching and routing in one compact platform to simplify their Operations Support Network. This combination offers ease of configuration, deployment and management while utilizing the powerful characteristics of Cisco routing and Catalyst switching features.

With an optional configuration, DC power can be provided directly from the CO to the etherswitch module and from there inline to Cisco IP Phones and Aironet Access Points and Base Stations. This solution allows for deployment of IP Telephony and wireless LANs throughout the CO without adding an AC power source.

The Alarm Interface Controller (AIC) is a network module that greatly expands the network monitoring and control capabilities of the Cisco 2600 and 3600 Series routers. The AIC functions as an integrated entity residing within the Cisco 2600 Router to provide network alarm monitoring and remote control of network elements. The AIC reduces service provider and enterprise operating expenses by facilitating a "single box" solution, doing away with the need for a dedicated external alarm monitoring device. This greatly simplifies network layout, monitoring, and control resulting in lower operations, administration, maintenance, and provisioning (OAM&P) costs. The AIC is supported in Cisco IOS^® 12.2(8)T and beyond. The AIC network module supports 64 discrete alarm monitoring points, of which 8 of the last 64 alarm points are software- configurable to accept either analog or discrete inputs. The AIC further supports 16 control relays to facilitate the remote control of network elements.

Advanced Integration Module Options

All Cisco 2600 Series are equipped with an internal slot to support one or two field-installable AIMs. AIMs use function-specific hardware to off-load the main router CPU and accelerate processor- or resource-intensive services, yielding dramatically higher throughput and higher performance than a software-only implementation. The AIM slot has access to virtually all of the router's resources, including the main system bus. The TDM bus and the serial communications controllers make this a very flexible and powerful feature. Since the AIM is internally mounted, external slots remain available for integration of other modular components such as CSU/DSUs, WAN interfaces, orother devices such as modems, or packetized voice/fax processors.

The Data Compression AIM provides a cost-effective option for reducing recurring WAN costs and maximizes the benefit of the advanced bandwidth management features of the Cisco IOS software. With compression ratios of up to 4:1, the Data Compression AIM supports 8Mbps of compressed data throughput without imposing additional traffic latency—enough to keep two T1 or E1 circuits full of compressed data in both directions simultaneously. TheData Compression AIM supports industry standard LZS and Microsoft Point-to-Point Compression (MPPC) algorithms and ensures compatibility with all Cisco products supporting hardware- or software-based compression.

For example, the Data Encryption AIM offloads encryption processing from the Cisco 2600 Series CPU, providing 10 times the performance over software-only encryption. The new AIM-VPN/BPII and AIM-VPN/EPII supports a maximum number of 800 remote access tunnels when using the Cisco 2600 models. These modules offer hardware accelerated DES/3DES and the new AES (Advanced Encryption standard) encryption at speeds up to 80-Mbps performance (max based on 1400 byte packet size). In addition the AIM-VPN/BPII and AIM-VPN/EPII support hardware-assisted layer-3 compression services where bandwidth conservation may lower network connection costs.

The new AIM-ATM provides a high-performance hardware-based ATM access solution for one to four T1 or E1 connections supported by the T1 or E1 VWICs (for example, VWIC-IMFT-T1). This frees the network module slot to support other functions. When used in combination with a high density voice network module (NM-HDV-xxx), the ATM AIM supports ATM adaptation layer (AAL) 2 and AAL5 VoATM. In addition, the new ATM-VOICE-30 and ATM-ATM-VOICE-30 AIMs provides a cost effective solution for supporting voice services or digital voice over ATM (AAL2 and AAL5) support, without the use of a network module.
