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.

Features and Benefits of Secure Networking

Benefit
● Support for hardware-based encryption on the Cisco 1841 can be enabled through an optional Cisco IOS
Software security image.
● Support for an optional dedicated VPN AIM can deliver two to three times the performance of embedded
encryption capabilities.
● 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
● 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 allows network access only to compliant and trusted endpoint devices for antivirus defense.
● 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.
● This feature eases administration and management of point-to-point VPNs by actively pushing new security
policies from a single headend to remote sites.
● DMVPN is a Cisco IOS Software solution for building IPSec + generic routing encapsulation (GRE) VPNs in an
easy and scalable manner.
● 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
● URL filtering support is available with optional Cisco IOS Security Software.
● 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.
● An intuitive, easy-to-use, Web-based device management tool embedded within the Cisco IOS Software access
routers can be accessed remotely for faster and easier deployment of Cisco routers for both WAN access and
security features.
● Cisco SDM 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.
● The integrated USB port is configurable with an optional USB token for secure configuration distribution and off-
platform storage of VPN credentials.
