Table 18-137: Features and Benefits for the Cisco 1710
|
Features |
Benefits |
|
Security |
|
|
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 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. 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 data. Enables scalability to very large IPSec networks through automated key management. |
|
VPN tunneling with IPSec, GRE, L2TP, L2F |
Choice of standards-based tunneling methods to create VPNs for IP and non-IP traffic
Allows any standards-based IPSec or L2TP client to interoperate with Cisco IOS Software tunneling technologies |
|
Advanced QoS |
|
|
Quality of Service (QoS). (CAR, policy routing, LLQ, WFQ, PQ/CBWFQ, GTS, FRTS, RSVP, DiffServ) |
Allocates and optimizes bandwidth to priority applications for improved performance |
|
All-in-One Solution |
|
|
Device integration. Integrated advanced routing, firewall, encryption, VPN tunnel server in a single device |
Reduces costs and simplifies management compared to solutions based upon separate devices |
|
Enhanced Management |
|
|
IEEE 802.1Q VLAN |
Enables efficient traffic separation, provides better bandwidth utilization, and alleviates scaling issues by logically segmenting the physical LAN infrastructure into different subnets so that packets are switched only between ports within the same VLAN |
|
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Server |
Reduces the work necessary to administer an IP network by enabling the hosts on an IP network to obtain their IP address from the Cisco 1710 Router |
|
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Client |
Provides a mechanism for centrally managing the IP addresses for remote Cisco 1710 routers |
|
Network Address Translation (NAT)/Port Address Translation (PAT) |
Simplifies deployment and reduces Internet access costs |
|
Auxiliary (AUX) port |
Enables dial-up connection for remote management |
|
Manageable via SNMP, Telnet, and console port |
Allows remote monitoring, configuration, and diagnostics for all functions integrated in the Cisco 1710 Router, reducing management time and costs |
|
Ease of use and installation. Cisco SETUP [utility, AutoInstall, color-coded ports/cables, and LED status indicators |
Simplifies and reduces deployment time and costs with graphical LAN/VPN policy configurator; command-line, context-sensitive configuration questions; and straightforward cabling |
|
Flexibility |
|
|
Feature-rich Cisco IOS Software support, includes multiprotocol routing (IP, IPX, AppleTalk, IBM/SNA) and bridging |
Provides industry`s most robust, scalable, and feature-rich internetworking software support using the accepted standard networking software for Internet and private WANs |
|
Dual-Ethernet configuration |
Takes advantage of broadband access technologies such as cable and DSL to increase WAN connectivity speeds and reduce WAN access costs
Offers the flexibility to connect any broadband modems |
|
Autosensing 10/100 Fast Ethernet |
Simplifies implementation in mixed Ethernet environments |
