Cisco ISR 4000 FAQ
What makes the Cisco ISR 4000 suitable for large enterprise deployments?
ISR 4000 provides enterprise-grade features: 2 Gbps throughput, 8 WAN ports, modular expansion slots, advanced routing protocols (OSPF, EIGRP, BGP), comprehensive security integration, and support for 500+ users with demanding applications requiring enterprise-class performance.
How does Cisco ISR 4000 SD-WAN compare to dedicated SD-WAN vendors?
ISR 4000 excels in enterprise routing and Cisco ecosystem integration but lacks advanced connectivity features like packet-level bonding, cellular optimization, and simplified deployment. Best for traditional enterprise environments requiring comprehensive routing capabilities.
What are the total licensing costs for ISR 4000 enterprise deployment?
Cisco DNA licensing required: Premier ($1,500-2,500/year), security licenses ($500-1,000/year), and support contracts (15-20% of hardware cost annually). Total 3-year TCO typically $15,000-25,000 including hardware, licensing, and support.
Can the ISR 4000 support high-availability configurations?
Yes, ISR 4000 supports redundant configurations with HSRP/VRRP, redundant power supplies, and clustering capabilities. Combined with diverse WAN connections and advanced routing protocols, provides enterprise-grade availability for mission-critical applications.
What modular expansion options are available for ISR 4000?
ISR 4000 supports various modules: additional WAN interfaces, cellular modems, security modules, voice processing cards, and storage modules. Modular design enables customization for specific requirements and future expansion without hardware replacement.
How does ISR 4000 integrate with existing Cisco infrastructure?
Seamless integration with Cisco switches, wireless controllers, security appliances, and management platforms (DNA Center, Prime Infrastructure). Provides unified policy management, consistent configuration, and comprehensive visibility across entire Cisco network infrastructure.
