Cisco 4700-M

Cisco 4700-M ... increased security through packet filtering between LANs and provide the bandwidth reservation features and performance required for advanced applications such as LAN-to-Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) access, IBM data-link switching (DLSw), Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking (APPN), and videoconferencing. This series of routers provides regional offices with a broad range of capabilities and features. It offers flash memory that stores the powerful Cisco Internetwork Operating System (Cisco IOS) software and slots for optional network processor modules (NPMs) - individual removable cards used for external network connections including Ethernet, Token Ring, Fast Ethernet, ATM, Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI), High-Speed Serial Interface (HSSI), Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN), Basic Rate Interface (BRI) and Primary Rate Interface (PRI), E1/T1 serial, and high-density, low-speed serial.

The top-of-the-line Cisco 4700-M router, with its 133-MHz RISC CPU, delivers 30 - 50 percent more processing performance than the Cisco 4500-M. In addition to providing better support of high-speed media than the 4500-M, it has the reserve to excel in compute intensive tasks such as data compression, data encryption, tunneling, policy/security, protocol conversion applications, and IBM protocols.
