Table 2. Modularity Features and Benefits of Cisco 1841 Router
Feature Benefit
HWIC
Slots
●
The modular architecture on the Cisco 1841 router supports HWIC slots. The newly designed high-
speed WAN interface slots significantly increase the data-throughput capability (up to 800-Mbps
aggregate). Table 6 lists the High Speed WAN Interface cards supported on the Cisco 1841.
●
Both slots on the Cisco 1841 router are HWIC slots and provide compatibility with WICs and multiflex
trunk (VWICs) interface cards
(for data only).
AIM Slots
(internal)
●
The Cisco 1841 router supports hardware-accelerated encryption through AIM modules (AIM-
VPN/BPII-PLUS, AIM-VPN/SSL-1).
●
The Cisco 1841 router has one internal AIM slot.
Secure Networking Features and Benefits
The Cisco 1800 Series features a built-in hardware-accelerated encryption on the motherboard
that can be enabled with an optional Cisco IOS Software security image. The onboard hardware-
based encryption acceleration offloads the encryption processes to provide greater IPSec 3DES
and AES throughput. With the integration of optional VPN AIMs, NAC for antivirus defense, and
Cisco IOS Software-based firewall and IPS support, Cisco offers the industry's leading robust and
adaptable security solution for small to medium-sized businesses and small enterprise branch
offices. Table 3 outlines router-integrated security features and benefits.
Table 3. Features and Benefits of Secure Networking
Feature Benefit
Hardware-Based
Encryption on
Motherboard
●
Support for hardware-based encryption on the Cisco 1841 can be enabled through an
optional Cisco IOS Software security image.
AIM-Based VPN
Acceleration
●
Support for an optional dedicated VPN AIM can deliver two to three times the
performance of embedded encryption capabilities.
SSL Web VPN
●
Allows businesses to securely and transparently extend their networks to any Internet-
enabled location using SSL VPN; the Cisco IOS WebVPN supports clientless access to
applications such as HTML-based intranet content, e-mail, network file shares, and Citrix
and to the Cisco SSL VPN Client, enabling full network access remotely to virtually any
application
AIM-Based SSL VPN
●
An optional dedicated SSL VPN AIM module provides SSL VPN acceleration and
supports two times the number of tunnels when compared to embedded IOS based SSL
VPN capabilities. The SSL VPN AIM module also supports IPSEC VPN and IP Payload
Compression Protocol in hardware.
NAC
●
NAC allows network access only to compliant and trusted endpoint devices for antivirus
defense.
IPS Support
●
Flexible support is provided with Cisco IOS Software.
●
New intrusion-detection-system (IDS) signatures can be dynamically loaded independent
of the Cisco IOS Software release.
Cisco Easy VPN
Remote and Server
Support
●
This feature eases administration and management of point-to-point VPNs by actively
pushing new security policies from a single headend to remote sites.
Dynamic Multipoint
VPN (DMVPN)
●
DMVPN is a Cisco IOS Software solution for building IPSec + generic routing
encapsulation (GRE) VPNs in an easy and scalable manner.
Group Encrypted
Transport (GET) VPN
●
GET VPN is a Cisco IOS Software solution that simplifies securing large Layer 2 or
MPLS networks requiring partial or full-mesh connectivity by providing tunnel-less VPN
connectivity
Cisco IOS Firewall,
Including URL
Filtering
●
URL filtering support is available with optional Cisco IOS Security Software.
Real-Time Clock
Support
●
Real-time clock support keeps an accurate value of date and time for applications that
require an accurate time stamp-such as logging, debugging, and digital certificates.
