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 security image and the flexibility to integrate a wide array of services,
modules, and interface cards, the Cisco 1841 router helps enable businesses to incorporate the functions of a
standalone secure data solution.
