Len Bosack and Sandy Lerner, a married couple that worked in computer operations staff at Stanford University, founded Cisco Systems in 1984. The name "Cisco" was derived from the city name, San Francisco. Bosack adapted multiple-protocol router software originally written by William Yeager, another staff employee who had begun the work years before Bosack arrived from the University of Pennsylvania, where Bosack had received his bachelor's degree.

While Cisco was not the first company to develop and sell a router (a device that forwards computer traffic between two or more networks),[1] it was one of the first to sell commercially successful multi-protocol routers, to allow previously incompatible computers to communicate using different network protocols.[2] (The prior sentence is wrong, and is a common misconception, left here to point it out. The multi-protocol router can route multiple protocols at one time, such as IP,IPX, AppleTalk and SNA, and send that communication across different Layer 2 media types, such as Ethernet and Token Ring, but it does not allow an AppleTalk-only speaking device to communicate with an IP-only device. That would be the function of a protocol translator, a device that Cisco also sold (for limited applications).) As the Internet Protocol (IP) has become a standard, the importance of multi-protocol routing as a function has declined. Today, Cisco's largest routers are marketed to route primarily IP packets and MPLS frames. This article is about a computer networking device. ...

In 1990, the company went public and was listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange. Lerner was fired and because of that, Bosack quit but not before receiving $200 million. Most of those profits were given to charities and the two later divorced. NASDAQ in Times Square, New York City. ...



During the Internet boom in 1999, the company acquired Cerent Corp., a start-up company located in Petaluma, California, for about US$7 billion.

Cisco has made inroads into many network equipment markets outside routing, including Ethernet switching, remote access, branch office routers, ATM networking, security, IP telephony, and others. In 2003, Cisco acquired Linksys, a popular manufacturer of computer networking hardware and positioned it as a leading brand for the home and end user networking market (SOHO).

Announced in early 2008, with broad facing concept to a self healing system capable of 15 terabits per second transfer rates.[6] The new type of NX-OS based operating system fully virtualized with tool sets to apply programmable API's with web services oriented tool sets to control the switch with XML applying them across contexts automatically.
