Features And Benefits - Cisco SOHO 91 Specifications

Cisco SOHO 90 Series routers provide the right combination of integrated security features, a four-port 10/100 Ethernet LAN switch, and advanced
management features to secure broadband connections for small-office and home-office users. Cisco SOHO 90 Series routers use the same Cisco
IOS Software that is used in large service provider and enterprise networks, allowing small office users to take advantage of the proven reliability of
Cisco IOS Software. The SOHO 96 router has an integrated ISDN S/T port for out-of-band management.

Benefits
Allows multiple users to share connections with a single IP address
Offers internal users secure, per-application dynamic access control (stateful inspection) for all
traffic across perimeters
Defends and protects router resources against denial-of-service (DOS) attacks
Checks packet headers and drops suspicious packets
Protects against unidentified, malicious Java applets
Details transactions for reporting on a per-application, per-feature basis
Provides perimeter network security to prevent unauthorized network access
Enables VPN tunnels to terminate in the router allowing all users connected to the router a secure
connection from the remote site to a corporate network
Supports teleworkers or multiple agents using VPN client software on their PCs, allowing IPSec
tunnels to pass through the router when VPN PC software clients are used
Support for PPTP tunnels, encrypted or unencrypted, initiated from the PC
Allows IPSec tunnels to be established from PC VPN clients in a LAN environment that uses NAT
to optimize use of IP addresses
Allows several applications and devices, including NetMeeting and H.323 phones, to be used
transparently from a LAN that deploys NAT
Allows access to applications (such as Web and Simple Network Management Protocol [SMTP]
servers) on the LAN from the WAN via a pinhole on the NAT firewall
