Remote Branch

The concept of a remote branch is highly variable, depending upon the individual location and
services needed. A branch office might contain two or a hundred users, and their demands might
be substantial in terms of redundancy, bandwidth, and supportability.
Typically, a remote branch services a population of users rather than a single user. In addition,
the level of technical expertise in the remote location is usually limited. Platforms typically
recommended for the remote branch include the following:
 Cisco 1600 platform
 Cisco 1700 platform
 Cisco 1800 platform
 Cisco 2600XM platform
