Established Global IT Distributor
With over a decade of industry experience, we are a certified Cisco Partner delivering genuine enterprise networking hardware and trusted services to system integrators, ISPs, and enterprises worldwide.
C8130-VAP-G2 Description
The C8130-VAP-G2 puts three access technologies on one small-branch faceplate: an RJ-11 modem for VDSL and ADSL over POTS, an XGSPON/10G BASE-T port for passive optical service, and a 1GE RJ-45/SFP combo port for Ethernet handoff. Cisco documents the modem as the Annex A family, and that one line is what sets this part number apart from C8130-VAI-G2 in the catalogue. Behind the access interfaces sit two Flex and two LAN gigabit ports. Measured throughput is 1.9 Gbps forwarding and 1.5 Gbps IPsec, the model is marked SD-WAN Capable No, and the fanless 3.5 lb chassis draws 23W typical from a 66W supply.

Product Performance
Key Features
An RJ-11 modem, an XGSPON/10G BASE-T port and a combo Ethernet port are all fitted, so the router covers a legacy broadband line, a passive optical service and a managed Ethernet handoff without the site holding three different devices.
Cisco builds this unit’s modem for VDSL and ADSL over POTS; the ISDN-side family is a separate SKU, so the analogue local loop is the condition this part number is written against.
The XGSPON port ends the optical service on the router itself, which removes the standalone optical network terminal and the Ethernet hop between it and the router that a DSL-only design would carry.
Beyond VDSL2, Cisco lists ADSL under ITU G.992.1, G.992.3 and G.992.5, so an older ADSL or ADSL2+ service is terminated by the same modem that handles a modern VDSL2 profile.
IPsec tunnel capacity is 250 across the whole 8100 range, so a branch building site-to-site VPNs is limited by that figure rather than by the 1.9 Gbps forwarding tier or the SD-WAN capability this model does not carry.
Rackmount, desktop, under-desk and DIN-rail or wall mounting are all published, which suits a broadband termination that may end up in a cupboard, behind a counter or on an equipment panel.
Application Scenarios
Deployed where the copper service is delivered over an analogue POTS line and terminated directly on the router’s modem.
Installed across a group of sites where some locations are on DSL and others on XGS-PON, using one part number for both delivery types.
Placed where an older ADSL or ADSL2+ circuit remains in service and the same unit will carry a VDSL2 or optical upgrade later.

Cisco IOS XE 26.1.1 |
- C8130-VAP-G2 and C8130-VAI-G2 carry the same three access interfaces, the same four gigabit ports behind them and the same 1.9 Gbps forwarding tier. Cisco separates them at the modem: POTS delivery on C8130-VAP-G2, ISDN delivery on C8130-VAI-G2, with no other published figure changing.
- That shared faceplate is what makes the pair useful across a mixed estate. A single design covers DSL sites and XGS-PON sites, and the only per-site variable is which of the two Annex families the local loop uses.
- C8151-CVAP-G2 carries the same POTS-side modem and the same three access media while tripling forwarding to 5.6 Gbps, adding four more LAN ports, an embedded 5G module with dual nano SIM slots and SD-WAN capability, and moving the route tier from 280K to 500K.
- For deciding which SKU to order, treat the Annex family as a per-site input and the rest of the specification as fixed across the pair; then decide at the estate level whether these branches need cellular backup and fabric management, because that answer moves every affected site to C8151-CVAP-G2 rather than changing anything on this model.
Selection Guide
1. Where Three Access Media Justify One Part Number
A branch estate running some sites on copper and others on optical service can standardise on this chassis, since the RJ-11 modem, the XGSPON port and the combo Ethernet port are all fitted; the alternative is stocking separate DSL and fibre routers for the same design.
2. Annex A Sites Only
The modem in this unit is built for POTS-delivered lines; a site whose loop is ISDN-delivered takes C8130-VAI-G2 instead, and because the two match on every other published figure, that single attribute is the only one that changes between the orders.
3. Two Hundred Fifty Tunnels Bounds The VPN Design
Every 8100 model stops at 250 IPsec tunnels regardless of throughput tier, so a hub-and-spoke design terminating more than that at a branch has to move to the 8200 Series and its 700 tunnels rather than to a larger 8100.
4. When Cellular Backup Enters The Design
No 3.5 lb model in this series has a cellular interface; adding one means C8151-CVAP-G2 with its embedded 5G module, which also brings six LAN ports and SD-WAN capability, so wireless backup is bought together with those rather than on its own.
5. Older ADSL Services Do Not Force An Older Router
ADSL under G.992.1, G.992.3 and G.992.5 sits alongside the VDSL2 profiles in the same modem, so a site still on ADSL2+ can take this router now and keep it through a VDSL2 or XGS-PON upgrade without a hardware change.
Ordering Checklist
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
Local loop delivery type |
Confirm the line is POTS-delivered and matches the Annex A family. |
C8130-VAI-G2 carries the ISDN variant and the two are otherwise identical, so this attribute alone distinguishes the orders. |
|
Existing service standard |
Confirm whether the circuit is ADSL, ADSL2+ or VDSL2 and that it falls within the published standards. |
The modem covers ITU G.992.1, G.992.3, G.992.5 and G.993.2, and a service outside those will not train. |
|
Optical handoff timing |
Confirm whether the XGSPON port is needed at commissioning or reserved for a later change. |
The port ships fitted either way, but an active optical service requires the provider handoff. |
|
VPN tunnel count |
Confirm the branch terminates no more than 250 IPsec tunnels. |
This ceiling applies across the whole 8100 Series and cannot be raised within it. |
|
Fabric management |
Confirm the site will not be managed as a Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN endpoint. |
Cisco marks this model SD-WAN Capable No; a fabric site needs C8151-CVAP-G2. |
|
Software image floor |
Confirm the image is Cisco IOS XE 26.1.1 or later. |
The DSL models sit on a different release family from the basic 8100 routers at 17.18.1. |
|
Mounting hardware |
Confirm which of rackmount, desktop, under-desk or DIN-rail mounting the site uses and that the accessory is on the order. |
Each mounting position needs its own hardware. |
