Feature Benefit
Site-to-Site VPN Connects remote access clients and branch offices to central sites more
cost-effectively and flexibly than networks using leased lines, Frame
Relay, or ATM.
Dynamic Multipoint VPN (DMVPN) Allows for secure, direct spoke-to-spoke communication with the added
benefit of configuration simplicity and zero-touch deployment. This feature
allows users to better scale large and small IPSec VPNs by combining
generic routing encapsulation (GRE) tunnels, IPSec encryption, and Next
Hop Resolution Protocol (NHRP).
GET VPN Group Encrypted Transport VPN (GET VPN) delivers highly scalable and
manageable inter-site any-to-any VPN connectivity without the complexity
typically encountered with meshed network designs and eliminates the
need for traditional VPN tunnels. GET VPN supplements DMVPN by
enabling high scale, always-on any-to-any site connectivity that is critical
for ensuring transmission quality of latency-sensitive traffic such as voice,
video and terminal services.
SSL VPN SSL VPN delivers secure access to network resources by establishing an
encrypted tunnel across the Internet using a broadband (cable, DSL) or
ISP dial connection. Web-based clientless access and full network
access is provided without pre-installed desktop software.
Cisco Easy VPN Remote and Server Eases administration and management of point-to-point VPNs by actively
pushing new security policies from a single headend to remote sites.
Network Admission Control (NAC) Ensures client devices are using the most up-to-date antivirus application
and signature files and protects the network from harmful threats by
prohibiting network access if outdated versions are used.
Wireless Networking
Integrated IEEE 802.11 a/b/g Access Point Provides simultaneous operation at multiple Wi-Fi frequencies including
2.4 GHz and 5GHz.
Supports Cisco Aironet, Wi-Fi Certified and Cisco Compatible client
devices.
Wireless VLAN Provides support for multiple wireless VLANs that can be configured to
provide additional security, segmentation, and separation of user groups.
Multiple Antenna Options Removable antennae provide flexibility to add multiband wall-mount and
ceiling-mount antennas.
Certification
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2) Wi-Fi Certified for WPA-Enterprise.
Provides enterprise-class security for WLANs.
Helps to ensure interoperable security with wireless LAN client devices
from other manufacturers.
MEF 9/14 Certification MEF compliant Ethernet over DOCSIS. Enables point to point VPN
connectivlity via Ethernet over DOCSIS. Secure connection between
remote sites over multiple carrier network.
Ease of Use and Management
Integrated Auxiliary Port Allows remote configuration and management.
Cisco Router and Security Device Manager
(SDM)
An intuitive, easy-to-use Web-based device management tool that helps
resellers and customers to quickly and easily deploy, configure and
monitor a Cisco access router without requiring knowledge of the Cisco
IOS Software command-line interface (CLI).
Enhanced Setup Optional setup wizard with context-sensitive questions guides the user
through the router configuration process, allowing faster deployment.
CiscoWorks, CiscoWorks VPN/Security
Management Solution (VMS), and Cisco IP
Solution Center (ISC) Support
Enterprise advanced management and configuration capabilities are
offered through a Web-based GUI.
Cisco Configuration Engine Configures remote routers automatically across a WAN connection to
save the cost of sending technical staff to remote sites.
Cisco AutoInstall Configures remote routers automatically across a WAN connection to
save the cost of sending technical staff to remote sites.
