availability and resiliency.

Features and Benefits

The primary features of the Cisco Catalyst

4500 AGM include telephony and WAN

routing.

Telephony Features

• Survivable Remote Site Telephony

(SRST)—The Cisco CallManager can

be used for centralized control of the

Cisco Catalyst 4500 AGM at campus

and branch sites. The AGM supports

both MGCP and H.323v2 interfaces

to theCiscoCallManager.SRSTenables

a resilient IP telephony service when

connectivity to the Cisco CallManager

is lost. The AGM provides SRST for up

to 240 IP phones.

• Audio-conferencing—The digital

signal processor (DSP) farm on the

Cisco Catalyst 4500 AGM can be

used to support on-demand and

dedicated, reservation-less

audio-conferencing services for local

and remote users. Audio transcoding

between G.729 and G.711 enables

efﬁcient communications between

callers using different codecs (for

example, campus phones using G.711

and remote site phones using G.729).

• Fax/modem/PBX voice gateway—Foreign exchange station (FXS) ports on the Cisco Catalyst 4500 AGM can

support up to 22 fax machines, speakerphones, modems, analog phones, and PBX lines tosupplement IP phones

at a campus or branch.

• Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) voice gateway—The Cisco Catalyst 4500 AGM incorporates a

96-channel DSP farm with up to 6 digital (T1, E1, Primary Rate Interface [PRI], Basic Rate Interface [BRI]) or

analogForeignexchangeofﬁce(FXO) interfaces with compression and echo cancellationservicesforconnectivity

to the PSTN or toll bypass with ISDN dial backup. Signaling support includes T1 channel-associated signaling

(CAS), BRI signaling, ISDN PRI, Q.SIG, and R2 signaling.

WAN Routing Features

• Cisco IOS Multiprotocol routing—The Cisco Catalyst 4500 AGM supports multiprotocol routing with support

for IP, IPv6, Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX), AppleTalk and System Network Architecture (SNA)as well as

Web Cache Control Protocol version 2 (WCCPv2).

• WAN interfaces—Up to six WAN interfaces are supported per module, including T1, E1, PRI, BRI, and serial

ports.

• WAN security—Security optionsincludeﬁrewall, intrusion detectionsystem (IDS), NetworkAddressTranslation

(NAT) and hardware-based IP security (IPsec) with 3DES data encryption for secure VPN or public Internet

connectivity.

• Quality of service (QoS)—Features such as the Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP), Protocol Independent

Multicast (PIM), trafﬁc shaping, custom and priority queuing, Low Latency Queuing (LLQ), and Weighted Fair

Queuing (WFQ) ensure a consistent QoS for data, voice, and video applications over the WAN.

Benefits for Campus and Branch Office Deployments

The Cisco Catalyst 4500 AGM may be deployed in a range of applications where WAN connectivity or integrated

IP telephony services are required. As an ideal solution for medium to large integrated branch ofﬁces, the AGM can

bedeployed with bothWANinterfacesand IP telephonyservices(including voice gateway telephonyservices)or only

with WAN connectivity and services. In the wiring closet, the AGM enables the deployment of IP telephony services

at the network edge boosting scalability and enhancing availability.

The beneﬁts of deploying the Cisco Catalyst 4500 AGM include:

• Reduced network complexity—Deploying the AGM in the Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series provides a complete,

integrated branch ofﬁce solution combining robust intelligent LAN switching with WAN routing, and

comprehensive IP telephony support. Consolidating the infrastructure for LAN switching, WAN routing, and

telephony improves deployment times and reduces network complexity and administration overheads, resulting

in enhanced productivity of the IT staff. Integrated voice gateway services enable VoIP toll bypass with

compression over the IP WAN to reduce WAN costs, offering an economicalalternative toPSTN telephony while

the modular interfaces shared with the Cisco 1700/2600/3700 routers reduces the cost of sparing and network

support. Centralized MGCP and H.323 call control with the Cisco CallManager and SRST reduce network

administration costs.

• Employee productivity—Availability of consistent Cisco CallManager and Cisco Unity™ services across branch

and campus sites enhances the productivity of remote employees. The built-in audio-conferencing bridge makes

six party audio-conferencing available to all employees, reducing the cost of this essential business productivity

application while WCCP support enables deployment of cache engines to enhance the effective WAN download

speeds.

• Investment protection—The Cisco Catalyst 4500 AGM is based on Cisco IOS Software and provides a suite of

multiprotocol routing services to protect investments in IPX, AppleTalk, and SNA equipment while providing a

migration path to IP or IPv6. The AGM also supports analog fax machines, speakerphones, and PBXs, providing

a migration path to IP telephony.

• Enhanced WAN security—Integrated Cisco IOS Software with ﬁrewall, IDS, NAT, as well as software and

hardware accelerated VPN encryption services increase network security.

• High-availabilitydesign—IntegratedSRST,ISDNdialbackup,andHotStandbyRouterProtocol(HSRP)support

enhance the resiliency of the telephony and WAN routing services.

Cisco Catalyst 4500 AGM VPN/Encryption Service Adapter

The VPN/Encryption Service Adapter (ESA) optimizes the Cisco Catalyst 4500 AGM for VPNs. The ESA provides

up to ten times the performance over software-only encryption by ofﬂoading the encryption processing from the

router central processing unit (CPU). Ideal for use in branch ofﬁces to connect to the enterprise IP WAN, mobile

users, partner extranets, or service provider managed-services customer premises equipment (CPE), the Cisco

Catalyst 4500 AGM with the ESA delivers a rich integrated package of routing, ﬁrewall, IDS, and VPN functions.

As an integral component of Cisco VPN solutions, the AGM with the ESA provides industry-standard encryption

(IPsec), application-aware QoS and bandwidth management, and robust perimeter security options. See Figure 4.

Features

Cisco fully supports the entire set of Request for Comments (RFCs) describing IPsec and related protocols, RFCs

2401–2410. In particular, Cisco supports the following features:

• IPsec—IPsec uses encryption technology to provide data conﬁdentiality, integrity, and authenticity between

participating peers in a private network. Cisco provides full encapsulating security payload and authentication

header support.

• IKE—Based on the Internet Security Association Key Management Protocol/Oakley, or ISAKMP/Oakley, IKE

provides security association management. IKE authenticates each peer in an IPsec transaction, negotiates

security policy, and handles the exchange of session keys.

• Certiﬁcate management—Cisco fully supports the X509.V3 certiﬁcate system for device authentication and the

Simple Certiﬁcate EnrollmentProtocol (SCEP),a protocol for communicating withcertiﬁcate authorities.Several

vendors, including VeriSign, Entrust Technologies, and Microsoft support Cisco SCEP and operate with Cisco

devices.

• DES and 3DES—DES or 3DES encryption is required for all packets destined for an IPsec tunnel. The

Cisco Catalyst 4500 AGM VPN adapter encrypts data with DES or 3DES while freeing the main processor

for other tasks.

• RSA signatures and Difﬁe-Hellman—These are used every time an IPsec tunnel is established to authenticate the

IKE security association. RSA signatures are digitalcertiﬁcates. Difﬁe-Hellman is used to derive the shared secret

encryption key for the protection of data across the IKE security association, including the negotiation of the

IPsec policy to be used.

• Performance—Process switching, fast switching, and Cisco Express Forwarding are supported. Cisco Express

Forwarding avoids the potential overhead of continuous cache churn and offers signiﬁcant beneﬁts in terms of

performance, scalability, network resilience, and functions.

Export Regulations on the Encryption Service Adapter

DES and 3DES software for the ESA is controlled by U.S. export regulations on encryption products. The adapter

itself is not controlled. U.S. regulations require the recording of names and addresses of recipients of DES and 3DES

software. The Cisco ordering process for DES and 3DES software enforces these requirements. For more details, see:

http://www.cisco.com/wwl/export/crypto/
