Features
Benefits
Flexibility and Investment Protection
Modular Architecture
Wide array of WAN options provide flexibility and investment protection by accommodating future technologies while providing a solution to meet today's needs
WAN Interface Cards Shared with Cisco 1600, 2600, and 3700 Routers
Reduces cost of maintaining inventory
Offers lower training costs for support personnel
Protects investments through reuse on various platforms
Full Cisco IOS Support, including Multiprotocol Routing, QoS
Provides industry's most robust, scalable, and feature-rich internetworking software support using the accepted standard networking software for Internet and private WANs
Constitutes part of the Cisco end-to-end network solution
Quality of Service (QoS)
Offers support for advanced QoS features such as the Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP), Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ), and IP Precedence to reduce recurring WAN costs
QoS features (such as committed access rate [CAR], policy routing, low-latency queuing [LLQ], generic traffic shaping [GTS], Frame Relay traffic shaping [FRTS], and RSVP) allocate WAN bandwidth to priority applications for improved performance
Expansion Slot on Motherboard
Allows expandability to support services such as hardware-assisted encryption
Complete Security and VPN Capability
Stateful Inspection Firewall
(the Cisco IOS Firewall includes context-based access control for dynamic firewall filtering, denial-of-service detection and prevention, Java blocking, and real-time alerts)
Allows internal users to access the Internet with secure, per-application-based, dynamic access control while preventing unauthorized Internet users from accessing the internal LAN
High-Performance VPN Encryption
(IPSec DES and 3DES VPN module for high-speed, hardware-based encryption)
Provides high-speed hardware-assisted encryption up to T1/E1 performance
Enables creation of wire-speed VPNs by providing industry-standard data privacy, integrity, and authenticity as data traverses public networks
Device Authentication and Key Management
(Internet Key Exchange [IKE], X.509v3 digital certification, support for Certificate Enrollment Protocol (CEP) with certificate authorities (CAs) such as Verisign and Entrust)
Ensures proper identity and authenticity of devices and data
Enables scalability to very large IPSec networks through automated key management
VPN Tunneling
with IPSec, Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE), L2TP, L2F
Allows any standards-based IPSec or L2TP client to interoperate with Cisco IOS tunneling technologies
Cisco Easy VPN Remote
Allows the router to act as remote VPN client and have VPN polices pushed down from the VPN concentrator
Cisco Easy VPN Server
Allows the router to terminate remote access VPNs initiated by mobile and remote workers running Cisco VPN client software on PCs; and allows the router to terminate site-site VPNs initiated by Cisco IOS routers using the Cisco Easy VPN Remote feature
Cisco SDM
Simplifies router and security configuration through smart wizards to enable customers to quickly and easily deploy, configure and monitor a Cisco access router without requiring knowledge of Cisco IOS Command Line Interface (CLI)
Business-Class DSL
Supports ADSL and G.shdsl
with advanced QoS features (Multilink PPP [MLP] with link fragmentation and interleaving [LFI], LLQ, Weighted Random Early Detection [WRED], CAR, differentiated services)
Takes advantage of broadband access technologies such as ADSL or G.shdsl to increase WAN connectivity speeds and reduce WAN access costs
Delivers business-class broadband access
Offers efficient use of bandwidth
Simplified Management and Ease of Deployment
Device Integration
(integrated router, firewall, encryption, VPN, tunnel server, data/channel service unit [DSU/CSU], and Network Termination 1 [NT1] in a single device)
Reduces costs and simplifies management compared to solutions based upon multiple, separate devices
Manageable via Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
(CiscoView, CiscoWorks 2000, Telnet, and console port)
Allows central monitoring, configuration, and diagnostics for all functions integrated in the Cisco router, reducing management time and costs
Supports Cisco ConfigMaker, SETUP Configuration Utility
Simplifies and reduces deployment time and costs with graphical LAN/VPN policy configurator; command-line, context-sensitive configuration questions
VLAN Support
Enables inter-VLAN routing via the standards-based IEEE 802.1Q
Available in all Cisco IOS feature sets, including base Cisco IOS feature set
Support for Cisco AutoInstall
Configures remote routers automatically across a WAN connection to save cost of sending
LED Status Indicators
Provide at-a-glance indications for power, VPN module, network activity, and interface status
Reliability
Dial-on-Demand Routing
Allows automatic backup of WAN connection in case of a primary link failure
Dual Bank Flash Memory
Backup copy of the Cisco IOS Software can be stored in Flash memory
Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP)
Provides high network availability
