Security Features of the C897VAW-A-K9
The C897VAW-A-K9 Cisco 897 VA Gigabit Ethernet Security Router has several security features including:
- Firewall: The router includes a stateful firewall that can inspect and filter incoming and outgoing network traffic based on pre-defined rules.
- Virtual Private Network (VPN): The router supports VPN, including IPsec, DMVPN and GETVPN, which allows remote users and sites to securely access the organization’s network.
- Intrusion Prevention System (IPS): The router includes an IPS feature that can detect and block malicious network traffic.
- Access Control Lists (ACLs): The router supports the use of access control lists (ACLs) to filter and control network traffic based on a variety of criteria, such as source or destination IP address or port.
- Network Address Translation (NAT): The router supports NAT which enables internal hosts to access the Internet using a single, globally unique IP address.
- Advanced Malware Protection (AMP): The router includes features that can detect and prevent malware infection and spread.
- Wireless security: The router supports various wireless security protocols such as WPA2, WPA3 and 802.1x, which can be used to secure wireless connections.
- Identity and Access Management (Identity and Access Management) The router can be integrated with Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) to provide identity-based access control to network resources.
- Security Group Tagging (SGT) : The router can use the Security Group Tag (SGT) to classify and identify network traffic, and apply security policies based on the tag.
Quality of Service (QoS) and Traffic Management Capabilities
The C897VAW-A-K9 Cisco 897 VA Gigabit Ethernet Security Router has several Quality of Service (QoS) and traffic management capabilities, including:
- Class-Based Weighted Fair Queuing (CBWFQ): This feature allows you to assign different levels of priority to different types of traffic, such as real-time traffic or best-effort traffic.
- Low Latency Queuing (LLQ): This feature allows you to prioritize delay-sensitive traffic such as voice and video.
- Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED): This feature is used to prevent congestion on the router by randomly dropping packets when the queue reaches a certain threshold.
- Policing and shaping: The router supports both policing and shaping to limit the amount of traffic that can enter or exit an interface.
- Quality of Service (QoS) Group: The router allows to group similar traffic together and assign them a common class and a common set of characteristics.
- Hierarchical QoS: This feature allows you to apply multiple levels of QoS policies, allowing you to implement more granular control over your network traffic.
- Access Control Lists (ACL): The router supports the use of access control lists (ACLs) to filter and control network traffic based on a variety of criteria, such as source or destination IP address or port.
- Network Address Translation (NAT): The router supports NAT which enables internal hosts to access the Internet using a single, globally unique IP address.
- Virtual Private Network (VPN) : The router support multiple type of VPN such as IPSec,L2TP, PPTP, SSL VPN for secure remote access and site-to-site connectivity.
