Cisco 3945E Integrated Services Router CISCO3945E/K9

Routers, man. Can’t live with ‘em, can’t live without ‘em. Take the Cisco 3945E Integrated Services Router CISCO3945E/K9 for example. It has the power to deliver highly secure data, voice, video, and application services to places like large branch offices and secret compounds tucked away somewhere deep below the Pacific Ocean. (But we’re not supposed to talk about those. Forget we brought them up. Really.) It's got a Modular Services Performance Engine (SPE) 250 to handle the evolution of WAN environments. There are 4 integrated 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports with 2 SFP ports, 4 service module slots, 3 Enhanced High-Speed WAN Interface Card slots, and 3 onboard digital signal processor (DSP) slots. Yeah, we know what you’re thinking. That’s a whole lotta slots for such a tiny package. And this puppy is the poster child for internet traffic security. It’s got this VPN encryption thing that keeps your connectivity safe, sound, and in tip top shape. And then there’s the Cisco IOS Firewall thing, the Zone-Based Firewall thing, the IPS whatchamacallit and content filtering hullabaloo. The Cisco 3945E Integrated Services Router is also proficient at identity management using authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA). So, yeah. The Cisco 3945E Integrated Services Router is a high-performer and deserves every bit of acclaim and attention it gets. But it knows it. It can have an attitude sometimes. Maybe not to the average person, but those that are closest to it know how it can be. But despite its unpredictable mood swings and its tendency to leave its dirty socks lying around in unusual places, this is one router you’ll always want around in your life.
