The specific Cisco IOS image you are looking for, c2800nm-adventerprisek9-mz.152-1.T.bin , is a legacy release for the Cisco 2800 Series Integrated Services Routers Direct Documentation and Guides
- The "Link" Reliability: The 2800 series, even with this 15.2 image, is rock solid for T1/E1, DSL, or even a basic 100 Mbps Ethernet handoff. If you have a dark fiber or metro-E circuit, this router will forward packets until the capacitors dry out.
- IPsec Performance: With this adventerprisek9 image, you can push ~40-50 Mbps of 3DES/AES traffic using the hardware crypto accelerator. It is still perfectly adequate for a small branch backup link or a site-to-site VPN tunnel.
- Legacy Protocol Support: Need to terminate a Frame Relay or HDLC link? Good luck finding a modern router that does it easily. The
152-1release kept all the legacy WAN goodness intact.
- adv likely stands for Advanced IP Services or could relate to the feature set aimed at advanced enterprise routing.
- enterprisek9 suggests that this image is intended for enterprise environments and supports advanced security and possibly encryption features (the "k9" denotes that the image supports 128-bit or greater encryption, making it suitable for export).
