If your company plans to deploy broadband-based services with the Cisco® Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) and Integrated Services Routers Generation 2 (ISR G2) with integrated xDSL technologies, this document can help you avoid potential problems. It describes the DSL interoperability expectations of these platforms and modules.
CPE and DSLAM Interoperability
The Cisco ISR G2 product portfolio supports a diversity of DSL technologies, including very-high-bit-rate DSL 2 (VDSL2), asymmetric DSL (ADSL), ADSL2/2+, multimode VDSL2/ADSL2+, and G.SHDSL. The Cisco ISR G2 customer premises equipment (CPE) described in Tables 1 through 19 has been tested at the Cisco DSL Interoperability Test Lab in San Jose, California, to ensure interoperability with the DSL access multiplexers (DSLAMs) also specified in these tables.
