The integration of field-installable AIMs enhance the performance of the Cisco 2600 Series by off-loading
processor-intensive functions onto a dedicated coprocessor while preserving external interface slots for other
applications.A variety ofAIMs arecurrently supportedon allCisco 2600,Cisco 3660 andCisco 3700Series routers,
providing high-performance hardware-assisted data compression, data encryption (ideal for VPNs), ATM, and new
DSP functionality for up to 30 digital voice channels
Cisco Systems continues to deliver enterprise and provider-class versatility, integration, and power to branch offices
with new members of the Cisco 2600 Series Modular Router Family. The Cisco 2600XM models and Cisco 2691,
the latest additions to the Cisco 2600 Series routers, provide increased performance, higher service density and
greater flexibility for service options to address evolving branch office requirements.
Cisco 2600 Series Modular Access Router Family: Overview
Driven by a powerful CPU processor along with high-performance DSPs and auxiliary processors on various
interfaces, the Cisco 2600 Series supports the advanced QoS, security, and network integration features required in
today's evolving branch offices.
Each of the Cisco 2610 through Cisco 2651 and XM versions supports one Network Module (NM) slot, two WAN
Interface Card slots, and one AIM slot. These slots share more than 50 different modules across four Cisco product
lines-the Cisco 1700 Series, the Cisco 2600 Series, the Cisco 3600 Series and the Cisco 3700 Series.
One NM slot is provided on the Cisco 2691, offering the same format as the current Cisco 2600 family series of
routers, but includes one additional WIC and AIM slot for applications that require increased service requirements.
