    一个2800 IP Voice的软件包价格450欧,而一个Advanced Enterprise Services的软件包则价值2000欧...
   7200/7300系列路由器软件包
    7200/7300系列路由器软件包7200/7300系列路由器的软件包和前面800到3800系列的软件包主要有以下三个不同:
    IP Base软件包增加了SSH特性支持 package
    Advanced Enterprise Services软件包增加了SNA switching特性支持
    Advanced IP Services 增加了Lawful Intercept特性支持。Lawful Intercept (LI)指的是可以满足政府对路由器数据进行侦听的需要. 而这样的软件包也价格不菲,7200的相应软件包价值9000欧.
