Cisco 1760 Modular Access Router

This fits in nicely in between the 1750 and the 2600 Series routers and offers a very cost effective price point. The Cisco 1760 Modular Access Router offers small to medium-sized businesses and small enterprise branch offices a 19-inch rack-mount access solution designed to enable them to grow their e-business capabilities.


The two different versions of the Cisco 1760 Modular Access Router, the base version Cisco 1760 router and the preconfigured multiservice-ready Cisco 1760-V router, address the needs of customers who want to deploy e-business applications—now or in the future.

 cisco 1760 modular router


The Cisco 1760 router, as a modular platform in a 19-inch rack-mount form factor, offers customers secure Internet and intranet access, as well as the capability to implement a variety of e-business and voice applications. This includes voice over IP (VoIP), virtual private network (VPN) access, and business-class digital subscriber line (DSL) as required.


The Cisco 1760 router is part of a broad portfolio of access routers optimized to deliver intelligent services such as quality of service (QoS), manageability, availability, and security.


The two different versions of the Cisco 1760 Modular Access Router, the base version Cisco 1760 router and the Cisco 1760-V router, address the needs of customers who want to deploy transformation technologies such as converged voice and data, IP telephony, or videoconferencing. Compared to the Cisco 1751 Router, the 1760 offers an additional VIC slot.


Here is a comparison of the two versions:

VPN and Security

The Cisco 1760 router is part of the end-to-end Cisco VPN solution. VPNs create secure connections via the Internet to connect geographically dispersed offices, business partners, and remote users while providing security, traffic prioritization, management, and reliability equal to that of private networks.


By supporting industry standards IPSec, L2TP, and DES and 3DES, the Cisco 1760 router delivers robust VPN solutions to ensure data privacy, integrity, and authenticity.


The optional Cisco VPN Hardware Encryption Module for the Cisco 1760 router further optimizes VPN encryption performance. By offloading encryption tasks to the VPN module, the router processor is freed up to handle other operations. The VPN module accelerates the rate at which encryption occurs, speeding the process of transmitting secure data—a critical factor when using 3DES encryption.


The Cisco 1760 router offers integrated security features, including stateful inspection firewall functionality and IDS as an optional Cisco IOS Software feature. By deploying Cisco IOS Software firewall functionality, customers do not need to purchase or manage multiple devices, thus simplifying network management and reducing capital costs.


Cisco IOS Software firewall security features include access control lists (ACLs) and user authentication, authorization, and accounting (such as PAP/CHAP, TACACS+, and RADIUS). These security features provide the optimal level of firewall protection to customers.


Voice Implementation

The Cisco 1760 Modular Access Router supports FXO, FXS, E&M, ISDN BRI VICs, and T1/E1 multiflex V/WICs.


The FXO interface allows an analog connection to the central office of the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). The FXS interface connects basic telephone service phones (home phones), fax machines, key sets, and PBXs through ring voltage and dial tone. The E&M interface allows connection for PBX trunk lines (tie lines). The ISDN-BRI NT/TE VIC is used to connect to the PSTN or a PBX/KTS, whereas the T1/E1 multiflex V/WIC (multiflex V/WIC) supports both data and voice services.


The multiservice-ready Cisco 1760-V router version includes all the features needed for immediate integration of data and voice services:


  • One DSP—support for up to two voice channels
  • 32-MB Flash memory
  • 64-MB DRAM
  • Cisco IOS IP/Voice Plus feature set

VICs and WICs are available separately.


The Cisco 1760 and Cisco 1760-V routers have two DSP module slots on the motherboard, each of which supports a DSP module with up to five DSPs to allow additional voice-channel support. A maximum of ten DSPs are supported.


The Cisco 1760-V router includes one PVDM-256K-4 (one DSP), which allows support for one analog voice interface card with two ports with no additional DSP requirements. If two analog VICs or one or more digital ISDN VICs are used, then additional DSP resources are needed.
