Cisco is the one that came up with the "legal intercept" backdoor IETF protocol for routers. There have also been "mistakes" where Cisco had remote access to people's routers, when they upgraded them to new firmware. There were some Snowden revelations about Cisco routers being backdoors as well, although without specifically putting the same on Cisco, just on NSA putting the backdoors in Cisco's factory, with which I'm sure Cisco had no relation.
