Cisco 1603 Router
Good afternoon, dear readers. I would like to continue the journey through the history of telecommunications equipment. Today it is the turn of the Cisco 160x series routers, or more precisely, the Cisco 1603.
Carrying out archaeological excavations at the warehouse, I found the Cisco 1603 route detector, in surprisingly good condition, in a regular box, complete with, among other things, a large amount of advertising and reference materials. For me, this find was especially pleasant because it was from this series that the acquaintance with the routers of this manufacturer began.
So, what is this device?
')
The following are the network interfaces: 10BaseT, while the AUI output allows using a different physical transmission medium, depending on the converter, for example, optics or coaxial. ISDN BRI S / T - in our country this interface is not widely spread, I have met this only in Moscow and the Krasnodar Territory (UTK). There is a WIC expansion slot for installing modules such as the WIC-1T.
Here is the inner world of the device:
As you can see, you can increase the amount of internal memory and replace the PCMCIA card, which will allow you to use the IOS 12 version and add support for OSPF, IPSec and other useful stuff.
I got a copy with 2 MB of RAM and PCMCIA Flash on 4 MB. By the way, as I understand it, the presence of Flash for this router is not mandatory; in its absence, the eprom loads c1600-boot-r.111-10.AA, which has some minimal functionality. Flash showed c1600-yl.113-11a.bin, possessing, despite its modest size, quite impressive functionality - support for dynamic routing protocols RIP, EIGRP, packet filtering functions (of course, not inspect and ZBF, but established and reflect).
After downloading and carrying out the password recovery procedure, a configuration file was discovered on it, which I want to bring in order to show how little the CLI has changed over a period of more than 10 years.
The core of the router is an MC68360 microprocessor that contains four serial communication controllers (SCC), two serial control controllers, and an SPI interface controller. The CPU performance is 8.3 MIPS at 33MHz, but it is possible to install an MC68040 coprocessor with up to 29 MIPS performance at 33 MHz (not in our case).
The processor architecture is shown below:
Data sheets
The performance of the device, by today's standards, may cause confusion, but it is worth considering that in 2001, when I first saw such a router, the 1 MB / s channel struck my imagination with a huge data transfer rate.
The sale of this series ended February 28, 2003. Link to the device description on cisco.com
Included were 2 floppy disks for initial configuration of the router (Win 3.11 / Win 95), but, unfortunately, it was not possible for me to check their performance.
Also, there is a CD with a complete set of documentation for all Cisco devices for December 1997.
My attention was attracted by the plain poster with the mention of Cisco Micro Webserver:
And who of you remembers when it was possible to connect to the manufacturer’s “site” via telnet?
And this is how the feedback form looked like. I never heard about most of the listed devices (with the exception of the Catalyst 1900 with CatOS and 3000, in which the duplex was set on the port by switching the DIP from the back of the device).
Instructions for connecting, using the initial configuration utilities and the router settings form:
Here is a page of history. Attach this device nowhere, and throw a pity. I'll put it back to the warehouse, to Cisco 2509, Catalyst 4000 and others ...
