Description
Switching Capabilities of the A901-4C-FT-D Router
The A901-4C-FT-D Cisco ASR 901 PAYG 4 GE Port TDM Router is a compact, high-performance router that is designed for use in small to medium-sized enterprise and service provider networks. It features four Gigabit Ethernet ports and one TDM port, and is capable of switching and routing at high speeds.
One of the key switching capabilities of the A901-4C-FT-D router is its ability to support advanced Quality of Service (QoS) features. This includes support for various QoS mechanisms such as class-based weighted fair queuing (CBWFQ), low-latency queuing (LLQ), and weighted round-robin (WRR). These features allow for the prioritization of different types of traffic, ensuring that critical applications and services receive the necessary bandwidth and low-latency.
The A901-4C-FT-D router also supports advanced routing protocols such as Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) for efficient and reliable routing of traffic. Additionally, it supports virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) for the creation of multiple virtual routing instances, allowing for the separation of different types of traffic and better security.
The router also supports a wide range of security features such as access control lists (ACLs), firewalls, and VPNs. This allows for the protection of the network from unauthorized access and attacks.
Network Security Features on the A901-4C-FT-D Router
- Firewall: The Cisco ASR 901 PAYG 4 GE Port TDM Router includes a built-in firewall that can be used to protect the network from unauthorized access and malicious attacks.
- Virtual Private Network (VPN): The router supports VPN technologies such as IPsec and SSL, allowing for secure remote access to the network.
- Intrusion Prevention System (IPS): The router includes an IPS feature that can detect and prevent attempts to exploit vulnerabilities in the network.
- Access Control Lists (ACLs): The router allows for the creation and implementation of access control lists to restrict access to specific network resources.
- Network Address Translation (NAT): The router supports NAT, which can be used to hide internal IP addresses and protect the network from external attacks.
- Quality of Service (QoS): The router includes QoS features that allow for the prioritization of network traffic to ensure that critical applications receive the bandwidth they need.
- Advanced Malware Protection (AMP): The router includes AMP features that can detect and prevent malware from entering the network.
- Secure Boot: The router includes a secure boot feature that ensures that only authorized firmware is loaded onto the device.
- Two-Factor Authentication: The router supports two-factor authentication, which can be used to protect the network from unauthorized access.
- Encryption: The router supports encryption technologies such as AES and SSL, which can be used to protect data transmitted over the network.
