Ask a Cisco rep or tech if they can deploy this in the configuration you have. The license fees alone may make you scream (see the link I supplied above) but once you get your licenses and configure it, it can look like an everyday router to the users.


So it looks like a common router but that Cisco license fees and to some onerous setup means it's not a good fit for everyday IT staffers or owners that dabble in networking.
