FAQ (CISCO1921/K9)

Q: Please urgently confirm that this Router CISCO1921/K9 has BGP (Border Gateway Protocol).

A: YES, BGP is supported by almost all Cisco Routers.

Q: Cisco 1921 CAN support Vwic2-2MFT-T1/E1?

A: YES.

15
Q: The 1900 series routers which IOS supports IP SLA?

A: The dedicated or SLAs router is used exclusively for Cisco IOS IP SLA operations and is

connected to the edge routers to simulate the customer network traffic. It is typically a Cisco 1900,

2800, 2900, 3800, 3900 or 7200 Series Router.

Q: I have a 1921 router. Using usb cable I can connect to the console but cannot get the router

into rommon mode. I saw a post for a 1941 router where you can remove the flash to get it into

rommon mode, but the 1921 flash cannot be removed. I am using Mac terminal and screen

command but am not able to send break signal. would love to know if its possible.

A: I think you can. The CF is "hidden" behind a dust cover. The slots are located at the BACK of the

unit, to the left. The back is where the ports and EHWIC slots are.

Q: The problem i'm running into is all the sample configs for Cisco 1921 sample working config for

VDSL with a VA-DSL-A card, i'm finding are for much older code, i need it for a 1921 with version

15.2(3)T.

A: Hi, I believe you have an EHWIC-VA-DSL-A card installed on the C1921 device. The sample

configuration for the same would be as follows, 1. Configure the Controller, 2. Configure the

16
Ethernet interface & its sub-interface, 3. Configure the Dialer interface and as per you

requirements, you can configure the Authentication, IP addressing etc.

Q: If I purchased a Cisco ISR G2 router on Cisco IOS Software Release 15.0(1) M before the

limitation was imposed, what should I do? And should I need to upgrade my Cisco IOS Software?

A: Assuming that you already have purchased the securityk9 package for encryption, you must

purchase a HSEC-K9 license as a spare.

Q: Why do I need to purchase the SEC-K9 license as a spare?

A: If you purchase a Cisco ISR G2 chassis and later decide to turn on security features, you must

buy a SEC-K9 license. The administrator must download the license to the router and follow the

license installation instructions that come with the license to be able to use the security features on

the router.

Q: On the Cisco ISR G2 routers with the SEC-K9 license, what tunnel count and performance

throughput are available?

The SEC-K9 permanent licenses apply to the Cisco 1900, 2900, and 3900 ISR G2 platforms; these

licenses limit all encrypted tunnel counts to 225 tunnels maximum for IP Security (IPsec), Secure

17
Sockets Layer VPN (SSL VPN), a secure time-division multiplexing (TDM) gateway, and secure Cisco

Unified Border Element (CUBE) and 1000 tunnels for Transport Layer Security (TLS) sessions. The

SEC-K9 license limits encrypted throughput to less than or equal to 85-Mbps unidirectional traffic

in or out of the ISR G2 router, with a bidirectional total of 170 Mbps. This requirement applies for

the Cisco 1900, 2900, and 3900 ISR G2 platforms.
