Cisco 1900 Series Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) build on 25 years of Cisco innovation and product
leadership. The new platforms are architected to enable the next phase of branch-office evolution, providing richmedia collaboration to the branch office while maximizing operational cost savings. The Cisco Integrated Services
Routers Generation 2 (ISR G2) platforms are future-enabled with multicore CPUs, Gigabit Ethernet switching with
enhanced Power over Ethernet (PoE), and new energy monitoring and control capabilities that enhance overall
system performance. Additionally, a new Cisco IOS Software Universal image enables you to decouple the
deployment of hardware and software, providing a stable technology foundation that can quickly adapt to evolving
network requirements. Overall, the Cisco 1900 Series offers exceptional total cost of ownership (TCO) savings and
network agility through the intelligent integration of market-leading security, unified communications, wireless, and
application services.
Product Overview
The Cisco 1921 builds on the best-in-class offering of the Cisco 1841 Integrated Services Routers. All Cisco 1900
Series Integrated Services Routers offer embedded hardware encryption acceleration, optional firewall, intrusion
prevention, and advanced security services. In addition, the platforms support the industrys widest range of wired
and wireless connectivity options such as Serial, T1/E1, xDSL, Gigabit Ethernet, and third-generation (3G)
wireless (Figure 1).

Key Features and Benefits of the Cisco 1921 Integrated Services Router
Benefits
Description
Service integration
The Cisco 1921 offers increased levels of services integration with data, security, wireless, and mobility services,
enabling greater efficiencies and cost savings.
Services on demand
A single Cisco IOS Software Universal image is installed on each ISR G2. The Universal image contains all of the
Cisco IOS Software technology sets that can be activated with a software license, allowing your business to quickly
deploy advanced features without downloading a new Cisco IOS Software image. Additionally, larger default
memory is included to support the new capabilities.
The Cisco 1900 Series enables deployment in high-speed WAN environments with concurrent services enabled up
to 15 Mbps.

Benefits
Description
Network agility
Designed to address customer business requirements, the Cisco 1921 with the modular architecture offers a
performance range of modular interfaces and services as your network needs grow.
Modular interfaces offer increased bandwidth, a diversity of connection options, and network resiliency.
Energy efficiency
The Cisco 1921 architecture provides energy-savings features that include the following:
Investment protection
The Cisco 1900 Series offers intelligent power management and allows you to control power to the modules
based on the time of day. Cisco EnergyWise technology will be supported in the future.
Services integration and modularity on a single platform performing multiple functions optimizes raw-materials
consumption and energy usage.
Platform flexibility and ongoing development of both hardware and software capabilities lead to a longer product
lifecycle, lowering all aspects of the TCO, including materials and energy use.
Reuse of a broad array of existing modules supported on the original ISRs provides a lower TCO.
A rich set of Cisco IOS Software features is carried forward from the original ISRs and delivered in the Universal
image.
This router gives you the flexibility to grow as your business needs evolve.
Architectural Feature
Benefits
Modular platform
The Cisco 1921 ISRs are highly modular platforms with multiple module slots to provide connectivity and services
for varied branch-office network requirements.
The ISRs offer an industry-leading breadth of LAN and WAN connectivity options through modules to
accommodate field upgrades to future technologies without requiring replacement of the platform.
Processors
The Cisco 1921 is powered by high-performance multicore processors that support growing demands of branchoffice networks by supporting high-throughput WAN requirements.
Embedded IP
Security/Secure Sockets
Layer (IPsec/SSL) VPN
hardware acceleration
Embedded hardware encryption acceleration is enhanced to provide higher scalability, which, combined with an
optional Cisco IOS Security license, enables WAN link security and VPN services (both IPsec and SSL
acceleration).
The onboard encryption hardware outperforms the advanced integration modules (AIMs) of previous generations.
Integrated Gigabit
Ethernet ports
All onboard LAN and WAN ports are 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet routed ports.
A new, innovative, mini-Type B USB console port supports management connectivity when traditional serial ports
are not available.
The traditional console and auxiliary ports are also available. You can use either the USB-based console or the RJ45-based console port to configure the router.
An optional upgrade to the power supply provides inline power (802.3af-compliant PoE) and Cisco Standard Inline
Power to optional integrated switch modules.

Feature
Benefits
The EHWIC slot replaces the high-speed WAN interface card (HWIC) slot and can natively support
HWICs, WAN interface cards (WICs), and voice/WAN interface cards (VWICs).
Two integrated EHWIC slots are available on the Cisco 1921 for flexible configurations for support of
two modules: One doublewide HWIC-D or two singlewide EHWIC/HWIC modules are supported.
Each EHWIC slot offers high-data-throughput capability.
One high-speed USB 2.0 port is supported. The USB port enables another mechanism for securetoken capabilities and storage.

Mobility Services
Wireless WAN
Cisco 3G wireless WAN (WWAN) modules combine traditional enterprise router functions such as remote
management, advanced IP services such as voice over IP (VoIP), and security, with mobility capabilities of 3G
WAN access. Using high-speed 3G wireless networks, routers can replace or complement existing landline
infrastructure such as dialup, Frame Relay, and ISDN. Cisco 3G solutions support 3G standards High-Speed
Packet Access (HSPA+) and Evolution Data Only/Evolution Data Optimized (EVDO), offering you a true multipath
WAN backup and the ability to rapidly deploy primary WAN connectivity. For more information about 3G solutions
on Cisco ISRs, please visit http://www.cisco.com/go/3g.
the future. The Cisco 1921 supports the existing singlewide Cisco EtherSwitch HWIC and the doublewide HWICD modules, which greatly expand the capabilities of the router by integrating industry-leading Layer 2 switching.

Organizations rely on Cisco, third-party, and in-house developed network management applications to achieve
their operating expense (OpEx) and productivity goals. Underpinning those applications are the embedded
management features available in every ISR. The new ISRs continue a tradition of broad and deep manageability
features within the devices. Features such as Cisco IOS IP Service-Level Agreements (IP SLAs), Cisco IOS
Embedded Event Manager (EEM), and NetFlow allow you to know what is going on in your network at all times.
These features along with Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and syslog support enable your
organizations management applications.
Tables 4 through 6 give details about Cisco IOS software feature and protocol support, Cisco IOS software
management capabilities, and Cisco Network Management applications for Cisco 1921 Integrated Services
Routers.

Feature
WSMA
The Web Services Management Agent (WSMA) defines a mechanism through which you can manage a network
device, retrieve configuration data information, and upload and manipulate new configuration data. WSMA uses XMLbased data encoding that is transported by the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) for the configuration data and
protocol messages.
EEM
Cisco IOS EEM is a distributed and customized approach to event detection and recovery offered directly in a Cisco
IOS Software device. It offers the ability to monitor events and take informational, corrective, or any desired EEM
action when the monitored events occur or when a threshold is reached.
IPSLA
Cisco IOS IP SLAs enable you to assure new business-critical IP applications, as well as IP services that use data,
voice, and video, in an IP network.
Cisco 1900 Series ISRs support SNMP, Remote Monitoring (RMON), syslog, NetFlow, and TR-069 in addition to the
