Abstract

A gap services router (GSR) that is a drop-in replacement of an end of life Cisco™ 2811 integrated services router (ISR). The GSR is a routing, switching, and computing platform that provides a technology refresh in the same form factor as the legacy 2811 router. The GSR is one rack unit in size and comprises the latest routing and switching technology from Cisco™, preferably a Cisco™ 5915 embedded services router (ESR) and a Cisco™ embedded services 2020 switch. The GSR contains two WAN ports and twenty-five LAN ports, with power over ethernet capability on all ports. The GSR also optionally includes an embedded server module capable of running the latest virtualization technology. An embedded server module in the GSR includes a removable solid state drive (SSD) that is zeroed upon removal. The GSR is preferably used to replace 2811 ISRs integrated in deployed military equipment.

Claims (17)

1. A gap services router (GSR), comprising:

an Ethernet router comprising:

an embedded services router (ESR); and

an embedded services switch;

an embedded server including a removable solid state drive (SSD), said embedded server being integrated with said Ethernet router and embedded within said gap services router;

at least one local area network (LAN) port having power over Ethernet (PoE) capability; and

at least one wide area network (WAN) port having power over Ethernet (PoE) capability;

wherein upon removal of said SSD, said SSD is configured to self-erase all data maintained on said SSD and said embedded server is configured to self-erase a portion of data stored on said embedded server associated with said data maintained on said SSD and disable said embedded server while leaving said Ethernet router operational within said GSR.

2. The gap services router (GSR) according to claim 1 , wherein:

non-volatile memory within said server is intentionally erased upon removal of said SSD from said embedded server.

3. The gap services router (GSR) according to claim 1 , wherein:

said Ethernet router includes virtualization capabilities.

4. The gap services router (GSR) according to claim 1 , wherein:

said GSR is one rack unit (RU) in size.

5. The gap services router (GSR) according to claim 1 , wherein:

said GSR is a drop-in replacement for an integrated services router (ISR).

6. The gap services router (GSR) according to claim 1 , wherein said embedded server is configured to provide at least two of: internet protocol (IP) capabilities, virtual call processing capabilities, virtual network management capabilities, virtual network operation capabilities, radio over Internet protocol (RoIP) capabilities and logical volume manager capabilities.
