Product Overview
This chapter provides an overview of the features available for the Cisco 880 series Integrated Service Router (ISR), and contains the following sections:
•
880 SKUs for next generation Cisco 880 Series ISR platforms
General Description
The Cisco 880 ISR provides Internet, VPN, data, and backup capability to corporate teleworkers and remote and small offices of fewer than 20 users. These routers are capable of bridging and multiprotocol routing between LAN and WAN ports and provide advanced features such as antivirus protection. In addition, the Cisco 880W series ISR incorporates an 802.11b/g/n wireless radio that allows the ISR to act as a wireless access point.
Cisco 880 Series ISR
The Cisco 880 series ISRs are a family of fixed-configuration data routers as described in the following sections:
•
In addition, this family of fixed-configuration data routers utilizes a dual-core infrastructure. The host router software runs on the first core while the WLAN AP software runs on the second core.
Models of the Cisco 880 Series ISRs
The Cisco 880 series ISRs have data capabilities. Each router has one WAN port. Data backup ports are also available on most of the routers. The 802.11a/n or 802.11b/g/n option is available on all models.
Table 1-1 gives the port configurations and supported WLAN radios of the Cisco 880 series data routers.
For 3G-related product descriptions, see Configuring Cisco EHWIC and 880G for 3G (EV-DO Rev A) and Configuring Cisco EHWIC and 880G for 3.7G (HSPA+)/3.5G (HSPA).
Common Features
Cisco 880 series ISRs support the following features:
•
4-port 10/100 FE LAN Switch
This switch provides four ports for connecting to 10/100BASE-T FE LANs, access points, or IP phones. A factory-installed upgrade is available that gives Power over Ethernet (PoE) on two of the ports to provide power to access points or phones.
802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN
The Cisco 880W series ISRs have an integrated 802.11b/g/n radio module for wireless LAN connectivity. With this module, the router can act as an access point in the local infrastructure.
For more information on supported WLAN radio modules, see Table 1-1.
Battery-backed-up Real-Time Clock
A battery-backed-up real-time clock (RTC) provides the date and time when the system is powered on. The RTC is used to verify the validity of the Certification Authority stored on the router.
Cisco CleanAir Technology
The Cisco CleanAir technology is a system-wide feature of the Cisco Unified Wireless Network that improves air quality by detecting RF interference that other systems cannot recognize, identifying the source, locating it on a map, and then making automatic adjustments to optimize wireless coverage.
Cisco access points with the CleanAir technology provide the highest-performance 802.11n connectivity for mission-critical mobility. By intelligently avoiding interference, the access points offer performance protection for 802.11n networks to help ensure reliable application delivery.
Note
For more information, see Cisco CleanAir Technology.
Dynamic Frequency Selection
Access points with 5-GHz radios configured at the factory for use in the United States and Europe comply with regulations that require radio devices to use Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) to detect radar signals and avoid interfering with them. When an access point detects a radar on a certain channel, it avoids using that channel for 30 minutes.
The DFS functionality is disabled on Cisco 880 series ISRs with pending Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification.
Note
For more information, see Dynamic Frequency Selection and IEEE 802.11h Transmit Power Control.
Dual-Radio Wireless LAN
With the dual-radio/dual-band IEEE 802.11n access point, the Cisco 880 Series ISRs offer a secure, integrated access point in a single device. The ISRs support both autonomous and unified modes and are backward-compatible with 802.11a/b/g.
The routers support IEEE 802.11n draft 2.0 and use multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) technology that provides increased throughput, reliability, and predictability.
For information on configuring the Cisco 880 series ISRs, see the "Basic Router Configuration" section.

Licensing
The Cisco 880 ISR is shipped with licensed software installed. Software features may be upgraded and the software licenses may be managed through the Cisco License Manager. See Software Activation on Cisco Integrated Services Routers and Cisco Integrated Service Routers G2 for details.
When you order a new router, you can specify the software image and feature set. The image and feature set are installed on your router before you receive it, so you do not need to purchase a software license. The router stores the software license file on the flash memory.
Selecting Feature Sets
Some feature sets are bundled and offered with a software license that is installed on the hardware platforms. For a list of features available with a software license on the Cisco 880, see Cisco 880 Series Integrated Services Routers Data Sheet. See Software Activation Configuration Guide on Cisco.com for details about how to activate and manage the software licenses.
