Description

The Cisco ISR4351/K9 is part of the Cisco 4000 Series Integrated Services Routers, engineered to consolidate multiple branch-network functions into a single modular platform. It combines enterprise routing with security, WAN connectivity, application services, and flexible hardware expansion.

The router provides three integrated Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, including flexible connectivity options for LAN and WAN deployments. Its modular architecture includes three Network Interface Module (NIM) slots and two Enhanced Service Module (SM-X) slots, allowing organizations to expand network interfaces and deploy additional services as their requirements evolve.

Powered by Cisco IOS XE, the ISR4351/K9 supports enterprise routing protocols, IPv4/IPv6 networking, QoS, NAT, IPsec VPN, and integrated security capabilities. It is designed to handle branch traffic while supporting applications such as voice, video, collaboration, and business-critical data services.

The ISR4351/K9 also supports Cisco’s Application Experience (AppX) capabilities, providing application visibility and optimization features for distributed enterprise networks. Its modular architecture makes it particularly suitable for organizations that require a flexible WAN-edge platform with room for future expansion.
