CISCO2911-HSEC+/K9 Cisco VPN ISM Module HSEC Bundles REF

Managing the network bandwidth of a Cisco 2911 Integrated Service Router with the HSEC+/K9 license involves using various Quality of Service (QoS) features to control and monitor the flow of traffic on the network.

One of the key QoS features is traffic shaping, which allows you to set limits on the amount of bandwidth that can be used by specific types of traffic. This can be useful for prioritizing mission-critical traffic, such as VoIP or video conferencing, over less important traffic, such as online gaming or file sharing.

Another QoS feature is policing, which allows you to set a maximum rate for incoming or outgoing traffic, and to take action when that rate is exceeded. This can be used to prevent a single device or application from using all of the available bandwidth and causing network congestion.

Access Control Lists (ACLs) can also be used to restrict access to certain parts of the network and to control the flow of traffic. This can be useful for security purposes, as well as for managing bandwidth usage.

NetFlow is another feature that can be used to monitor network bandwidth usage. It provides detailed information about traffic flow, such as which devices and applications are using the most bandwidth, and allows you to identify and troubleshoot any issues that may be causing congestion on the network.

High Reliability and Scalability

The Cisco 2911-HSEC+/K9 is a high-performance, integrated service router that is designed for both high reliability and scalability.

In terms of high reliability, the router is equipped with various features to ensure that the network remains up and running even in the event of a failure. This includes features such as redundant power supplies and fans, as well as hot-swappable components that can be replaced without shutting down the router. Additionally, the router supports various redundancy protocols, such as Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) and Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP), which allow for automatic failover in the event of a failure.

In terms of scalability, the Cisco 2911-HSEC+/K9 supports a wide range of interfaces, including Gigabit Ethernet, T1/E1, and serial, and can be easily upgraded as your network grows. Additionally, the router supports a wide range of network protocols, including IPv4 and IPv6, and can be integrated into a variety of network environments.

The router also supports advanced security features that includes hardware-accelerated VPN, firewall, and intrusion prevention. Additionally, it supports advanced routing protocols such as OSPF and EIGRP, which allow for efficient and dynamic routing of traffic.

Quality of Service (QoS) Capabilities

The Cisco 2911-HSEC+/K9 Integrated Service Router has advanced Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities that allow you to control and prioritize network traffic. These capabilities include:

• Class-Based Weighted Fair Queuing (CBWFQ): This feature allows you to assign different priorities to different types of traffic, such as voice, video, and data, and to ensure that high-priority traffic is transmitted before lower-priority traffic.
• Low Latency Queuing (LLQ): This feature allows you to assign a priority queue to specific types of traffic, such as voice, and to ensure that this traffic is transmitted with minimal delay.
• Traffic Shaping: This feature allows you to limit the amount of bandwidth that can be used by specific types of traffic, such as video or file sharing, and to ensure that important traffic, such as VoIP, is transmitted without interruption.
• Policing: This feature allows you to set a maximum rate for incoming or outgoing traffic, and to take action when that rate is exceeded, such as dropping packets or re-marking the traffic.
• Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED): This feature helps prevent network congestion by randomly dropping packets when the queue becomes full, and by giving higher priority to certain types of traffic, such as voice.
• Quality of Service (QoS) features such as these allows you to ensure that your network delivers the necessary level of service for all types of traffic, and to prevent network congestion, delay and jitter.
