Wired Router Cisco C927-4P Gigabit Ethernet Black

The Cisco C927-4P is a wired Gigabit Ethernet router from the Cisco 900 Series designed for secure WAN connectivity and simplified deployment at customer premises. It delivers integrated security and threat defense to protect networks from known and emerging Internet vulnerabilities and supports secure broadband, Metro Ethernet and wireless LTE WAN links. The device includes a 4-port managed LAN switch and offers centralized and remote management through web-based tools and Cisco IOS Software for visibility and control of remote network configurations.

Advantages

The router provides fixed-configuration, high-performance routing with support for advanced routing protocols such as BGP, EIGRP and OSPF and strong encryption including 3DES and AES up to 256-bit. It simplifies Ethernet WAN deployments with end-to-end operations, administration and maintenance (OA&M), SLA monitoring and configuration management. The built-in 4-port managed switch and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces enable connection of multiple LAN devices and reliable wired throughput.

How to use

Install the Cisco C927-4P on a stable surface or rack as appropriate for the site. Connect broadband, Metro Ethernet or LTE WAN links to the WAN interface and attach LAN devices to the four Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports on the integrated managed switch. Power up the unit, access the device via the web-based management interface or Cisco IOS Software, and configure routing, security policies and SLA monitoring according to your network design. Save the configuration and verify connectivity and performance using the built-in OA&M tools.

Recommendations

For optimal security and performance, keep Cisco IOS software up to date, configure strong encryption and authentication, and enable SLA monitoring when deploying Ethernet WAN services. Use centralized management for consistent policies across remote sites and verify backups of configuration files before making major changes.
