Secure Network Connectivity for Data

Security has become a fundamental building block of any network, and Cisco routers play an

important role in embedding security at the customer's access edge. The Cisco IOS Software

security feature sets for the Cisco 1841 router that enable the hardware-based encryption on the

motherboard provide a robust array of features such as Cisco IOS Firewall, IPS support, IP

Security (IPSec) VPNs (Digital Encryption Standard [DES], Triple DES [3DES], and Advanced

Encryption Standard [AES]), SSL Web VPN, Dynamic Multipoint VPN (DMVPN), Group Encrypted

Transport (GET) VPN, and Easy VPN , Network Admissions Control (NAC) for antivirus defense,

Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol Version 2.0, and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) in

one solution set. In addition, the Cisco 1841 router offers bundled network security solutions with

IPSEC and SSL VPN encryption-acceleration modules, making it the industry's most robust and

adaptable security solution available for small-to-medium-sized businesses and small enterprise

branch offices. As Figure 2 demonstrates, the Cisco 1800 Series routers help enable customers to

deliver high-performance, concurrent, mission-critical data applications with integrated, end-to-end

security.

Integrated Services

The new, high-performance and secure integrated services architecture of the Cisco 1841 router

(as shown in Figure 2) enables customers to deploy simultaneous services such as secured data

communications with traditional IP routing at wire-speed performance. By offering a hardware-

based encryption on the motherboard that can be enabled with an optional Cisco IOS Software
