FAQ
How many WAN ports does the Cisco IR8140H router have?
The Cisco Catalyst IR8140H router has one dedicated WAN port. This single WAN interface provides the primary internet or upstream network connection for the device, making it suitable for branch offices or locations with a single internet service provider connection. The router also includes a separate management port for administrative access.
What type of expansion slots are available on this router?
This router features one SFP (mini-GBIC) expansion slot. This slot accepts Small Form-factor Pluggable transceivers, allowing you to connect fiber optic or copper Gigabit Ethernet uplinks. The SFP slot provides flexibility to match your existing network infrastructure without requiring a different router model.
Can the IR8140H be mounted on a wall or pole?
Yes, the Cisco IR8140H is designed for both wall and pole mounting. The router's form factor includes pre-drilled mounting points and hardware for secure installation on vertical surfaces or structural poles. This mounting flexibility makes it ideal for locations without standard rack equipment, such as retail stores, warehouses, or outdoor enclosures.
What security standards does this router support?
The router implements IEEE 802.1x for network access control, IEEE 802.11i for wireless security framework compatibility, and IEEE 802.1AR for secure device identity. These standards work together to authenticate devices, encrypt communications, and verify router identity within the network infrastructure, providing layered security at the network edge.
How much memory is installed in the IR8140H router?
The Cisco Catalyst IR8140H comes with 8 GB of standard memory. This memory capacity supports routing tables, security policies, and operational data for stable router performance. The onboard memory is sufficient for typical branch office routing requirements without needing immediate expansion.
What is the power consumption of this router?
The router consumes 27 watts of power during normal operation. This relatively low power draw makes it suitable for always-on deployment scenarios, and the built-in power supply ensures consistent voltage delivery to all internal components. The efficient design helps reduce operational costs in continuously running network environments.
