Cisco 800 Series Integrated Services Routers (ISR)
Cisco 819 HGW ISR router
The Cisco 819 Integrated Services Router (ISR) supports machine-to-machine (M2M) applications that can enable enterprises to use 3G wireless WAN network services.
The Cisco 819 ISR router emulated in Cisco Packet Tracer features 3G/4G WAN connectivity as well as an internal wireless access point. The router can be connected to the simulated mobile operator infrastructure (cell tower, ...) using the following IOS command :
cellular 0 gsm profile create "profile number" "apn" "authentication" "username" "password" ipv4
Authentication : PAP or CHAP
Username : Username provided by the mobile service provider for 3G/4G connectivity.
Password : Password provided by the mobile service provider for 3G/4G connectivity.Mobile connectivity can be used to provide backup WAN connectivity for a branch office. In this case, the cellular interface connected to the Internet is isolated in a separate VRF and an IPSEC tunnel is established between the branch office and the central location.
Cisco 819HG-4G IOX router
Designed for IoT connectivity, the Cisco 819HG-4G-IOX router adds an application hosting capability at the edge of the network, fundation of the new distributed computing ("fog networking") Cisco concept. The Cisco 819HG-4G-IOX features the capability of hosting linux virtual machines directly on the router. . Cisco is basically enabling access to computing and storage resources within the network devices to host applications and interfaces as close as the Internet of Thing devices as possible : the network infrastructure is now able to play for industrial sensors the part that the smartphone plays for personal gear.
The configuration below shows how easy it is to deploy an OVA packages virtual machine on the IOX router :
1. On the router, download ova file via tftp:
Router#copy tftp flash
Address or name of remote host []? 172.1.1.2
Source filename []? vm1.ova
Destination filename [vm1.ova]?2. Install / unisntall the VM:
Router#virtual-service install name vm1 package flash:/vm1.ova
Router#virtual-service uninstall name vm13. Run / stop the VM:
Router#config t
Router(config)#virtual-service vm1
Router(config-virt-serv)#[no] activate
The desktop PC device also features a new IoX development toolkit allowing development of custom IoX virtual machines. Guidelines for IoX application development is available on 819-IOx-SDK-Cookbook from Cisco DEVNET.

Cisco 4000 Series Integrated Services Routers (ISR)
Cisco 4000 Series Integrated Services Routers (ISR) revolutionize WAN communications in the enterprise branch. With new levels of built-in intelligent network capabilities and convergence, the routers specifically address the growing need for application-aware networking in distributed enterprise sites.
The Cisco ISR 4000 Series contains seven hardware platforms: the 4461 4451, 4431, 4351, 4331, 4321 and 4221 ISRs providing throughput capabilities upto 10Gbps. They supports a wide range of WAN connectivity options such as T1, T3/, serial, 10Gigabit Ethernet, and 4G LTE capabilities.
Cisco ISR 4331 and ISR 4321 feature Cisco IOS image resilience through secure boot-image and secure boot-config commands. They also add network programmability support to Packet Tracer through NETCONF / YANG protocols which are topics of the CCNP Enterprise ENCOR exam. Those features allow operationnal cost savings by making configuration of a large number of branch offices number easier.
Cisco 4321 ISR router
The emulated Cisco ISR 4321 router features optical capabilities over 100BASE-FX and 1000BASELX/LH. This router runs IOS-XE unifying the 4000 Series Integrated Services Routers, 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers. The Cisco ISR 4321 has been designed as multi-service branch office routers that has superior performance to the second generation ISRs, while the ASR 1000s series can serve as hight performance WAN edge router or aggregation service routers.
The real Cisco ISR 4321 support IOX application, which extends IOX hosting capabilities from small footprint routers, such as the ISR 819 routers, which allows IOX simulation in Cisco Packet Tracer, to more powerful routers. However, IOX features does not seem to have been implemented in the ISR 4321 emulated in Packet Tracer. Only the securityk9 package is available :

IOS router images available in Packet Tracer 9.0.0
Cisco packet Tracer features both IOS 12 and IOS 15 routers, as well as base, advip, universal, universal_security, adv_security, iox, and foundation_sets images IOS feature sets.
Connect the router to a TFTP server, download the selected image, and use the boot system flash <IOS IMAGE> command to boot router on the selected IOS image.

IOS 15
Cisco provides IOS 15 for several Integrated Service Routers and Catalyst switches in Packet Tracer (might require an IOS upgrade from a TFTP server) :
- ISR 1941 - 15.5.3
- ISR 2901 - 15.5.3
- ISR 2911 - 15.5.3
- ISR 819 - 15.4.3
- ISR 829 - 15.6.3
- Aironet CGR 1240 - 15.6.3
- Calalyst 3560 - advipservicesk9 12.2.4
Use the following steps to perform the upgrade onCisco Integrated Service Routers (ISR) 1941, 2901, and 2911 to IOS 15.5-3 :
Install a TFTP server and make sure it has these two files :
- c1900-universalk9-mz.SPA.155-3.M4a.bin
- c2900-universalk9-mz.SPA.155-3.M4a.bin
On each router, enter the following commands. Change the image file name accordingly to the ISR router model (1900 or 2900). Don't forget to save the configuration and to reload the router to boot on the new IOS image.
Router#copy tftp flash
Address or name of remote host []? 192.168.10.50 **TFTP server address**
