The Cisco 2501 is a legacy router designed by Cisco Systems for small businesses and enterprise branch offices. It is a fixed-configuration router that comes equipped with one Ethernet port and two serial ports. The router can be used to connect a local network to a wide area network (WAN) through a serial connection, such as a digital subscriber line (DSL) or a T1/E1 connection.
The Cisco 2501 router supports various routing protocols such as Routing Information Protocol (RIP), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), and Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) which enables the router to exchange routing information with other routers in a network.
The router also provides basic security features such as access control lists (ACLs) and password protection to restrict access to the router's configuration and management interface. Additionally, the Cisco 2501 supports Network Address Translation (NAT) which allows the router to share a single IP address among multiple devices on a LAN.
The Cisco 2501 router is typically used in smaller networks and has a limited performance, it might not be suitable for high-traffic environments. Due to its age, the 2501 router is not widely used and it's not recommended to use it in new deployments. However, it can be used in legacy networks to connect serial connections to the LAN.
Network Management and MonitoringThe Cisco 2501 router has several built-in tools for network management and monitoring. These include:
- Command-Line Interface (CLI): The router can be configured and managed using the Cisco IOS command-line interface (CLI), which allows users to enter commands directly into the router's terminal to configure various settings and view status information.
- Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP): The router supports SNMP, which allows network administrators to monitor and manage the router remotely using a network management system (NMS) such as Cisco Prime or SolarWinds.
- Remote Access: The router can be configured to allow remote access using Telnet or Secure Shell (SSH) protocols. This allows administrators to manage and troubleshoot the router remotely.
- Logging: The router can be configured to log various events, such as security violations and system messages, to a local or remote syslog server. This allows administrators to monitor the router's activity and troubleshoot any issues that may arise.
- Network Monitoring: The router can be configured to send SNMP traps, syslog messages, and other information to a Network Management System (NMS) for monitoring the router's performance and troubleshoot any issues.
High availability refers to the ability of a system to remain operational and accessible even in the event of a component failure. The Cisco 2501 router is an older model and may not have advanced high availability features such as failover or redundant power supplies.
However, it does support the Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) which is a Cisco proprietary protocol that allows two routers to work together to present the appearance of a single virtual router to hosts on a LAN. HSRP provides redundancy by allowing one router to take over as the active router if the other fails.
Scalability refers to the ability of a system to handle increasing workloads without experiencing a significant decline in performance. The Cisco 2501 router has a limited number of interfaces and resources, it is not designed to handle high traffic loads. However it can be used in conjunction with other routers to increase overall network scalability.
