Overview of Cisco 1000 Series Integrated Services Routers

Cisco 1000 Series Integrated Services Routers with Cisco IOS XE Software are high-performance devices that are easy to deploy and manage. The routers combine Internet access, comprehensive security, and wireless services (LTE Advanced 3.0, Wireless WAN and Wireless LAN).

About Cisco 1000 Series Integrated Service Routers

The Cisco 1000 Series Integrated Services Routers are the next generation, IOS XE-based, multi core, branch routers. They are available in both fixed and modular form factors. The Cisco 1000 Series Integrated Services Routers is best suited for small and midsize businesses, enterprise branches, and as customer premises equipment in managed services environments.

Note

Base Models with an 'X' has 8GB of DRAM and Flash memory. Example: C1111X-8P

The C1131 models have 4GB of DRAM and 8G flash memory.

The C1131X models have 8GB of DRAM and 16G flash memory.

For the C1131 series, only the Class A statements in the Trademark notice, which is available at the beginning of this guide, is valid.

Base Models without an 'X' have 4GB of DRAM and Flash Memory. Example: C1111-8P

For base model-C11x1X-8PLTEP, 'x' represents the CPU performance level.

Reset Button

The actuation of the Reset button is only recognized during ROMmon boot, that is, as the router comes to the ROMmon prompt.

The Reset button does not require much force to be pressed. The Reset button should be pressed only with a small implement such as the tip of a pen or a paper clip. When the Reset button is pressed at startup, the system LED turns green.

For more information, see the "Reset Overview" section of the Cisco 1100 Software Configuration Guide.

Power Supply

C111x, C1121x, and C1131 Series Integrated Services Routers support PoE and PoE+ power to endpoints. The product power specifications are as follows:

  • AC input voltage: Universal 100 to 240 VAC

  • Frequency: 50 to 60 Hz

  • Maximum output power: Up to 66W for non-PoE supply and upto 150W for PoE supply

  • Optional PoE and PoE+

  • Output voltage: +12VDC for system power and -53.5VDC for PoE power

Slots and Interfaces

About Slots, Subslots, and Port Numbering

The Cisco 1100 series designates its interfaces using a 3-tuple notation that lists the slot, sub slot and port in the format slot/sub-slot/port. The slot number is reserved for the mother board, which is "0". Each interface type is allocated a sub slot and the port number is a unique port on the interface.

Specifications of Cisco 1000 Series Integrated Services Routers

For specifications on the Cisco 1000 Series Integrated Services Routers, refer to the Cisco 1100 Series ISR Specifications document.

Periodic Inspection and Cleaning

We recommend that you periodically inspect and clean the external surface of the router. Removing is recommended to minimize the negative impact of environmental dust or debris. The frequency of inspection and cleaning is dependent upon the severity of the environmental conditions, but we recommend cleaning the router once every six months. Cleaning involves vacuuming router air intake and exhaust vents.


Note

Sites with ambient temperatures consistently above 25°C or 77°F and with potentially high levels of dust or debris might require periodic preventative maintenance cleaning.
