series router can function as a bridge for any other protocol. RIP v1 and RIP v2 are supported
for IP, and RIP for IPX is also supported. Support for Cisco's snapshot routing feature is also
supported to provide an on-demand method of routing update exchanges. Dial-on-demand
routing and bandwidth-on-demand features compatible with the customary IOS features are
also configurable on the device.
(POTS) RJ-11 interfaces. On the earlier 700 series models (750/760), the model number defined
the ISDN interface type. The 700 series models that ended in an even number provided the
built-in network termination 1 (NT1) interface for ISDN. The models that ended in an odd
number provided an S/T interface, for which the customer had to supply the NT1 device if it
was needed.
community, however, is a telephone company device. Thus, there is the need for the different
models. The recent models now have both the S/T interface and the U interface on the router.

hub.
associated with a remote connection or location. This is not unlike the IOS command-line
syntax that most engineers associate with an interface dialer on an enterprise-type Cisco router.
In a 2500 series router, the phone number, the authentication password, and the addressing
could be associated with a dialer interface. The 700 series router, using the same concept, calls
the stored information for a connection a profile, and stores it in a UNIX subdirectory.
IOS platform. The unique advantage that the 700 provides is that the profiles can be named
instead of numbered. For example, on an IOS platform, the connection to the corporate office
can be interface dialer 1, whereas on the 700, the profile can be called corp_office. This
simplicity provides a key element in troubleshooting when a configuration has not been viewed
for many months.
