Description
Management of Network Bandwidth
The Cisco 897VA Gigabit Ethernet Security Router (C897VA-K9) has several features that can be used to manage network bandwidth.
Quality of Service (QoS) is a set of features that allow you to prioritize certain types of network traffic and limit the amount of bandwidth used by others. For example, you can use traffic shaping to control the rate at which data is sent, or policing to limit the amount of bandwidth that a particular type of traffic can use.
Access control lists (ACLs) can be used to restrict access to the network, which can help to limit the amount of traffic flowing through the router. Additionally, you can use the built-in tools for monitoring and analyzing network traffic, such as NetFlow and Cisco IOS Embedded Event Manager (EEM), which can help you identify and troubleshoot bandwidth-related issues.
With the Cisco 897VA router you can also configure multiple priority queues for different types of traffic, this way you can ensure that the most important traffic (such as voice and video) is always prioritized over less important traffic.
Additionally, you can also use the router’s Quality of Service (QoS) features to classify, mark, and shape different types of traffic, allowing you to ensure that your critical applications receive the bandwidth they need while still managing network congestion.
Advanced Security Features
The Cisco 897VA Gigabit Ethernet Security Router (C897VA-K9) has a range of advanced security features to protect your network from various types of threats. Some of these features include:
- Firewall: The router has a built-in firewall that can be configured to block unauthorized access to the network and protect against common network attacks such as denial-of-service (DoS) attacks.
- Virtual Private Network (VPN): The router supports VPN protocols such as IPsec, L2TP, and PPTP, which can be used to create secure, encrypted connections between remote users and the network.
- Intrusion Prevention System (IPS): The router has an integrated IPS that can detect and block known and zero-day attacks, such as malware and worms.
- Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) VPN: The router supports SSL VPN, which allows users to access the network securely from any location using a web browser.
- Advanced Malware Protection (AMP): The router has AMP which can detect, block, and remediate malware, even if it is hiding in encrypted traffic.
- Network Address Translation (NAT): The router supports NAT, which can be used to hide internal IP addresses and protect the network from external threats.
- Access Control Lists (ACLs): The router supports ACLs, which can be used to restrict access to the network and control traffic flow.
- Advanced threat protection: The router has Advanced threat protection which can detect, block, and remediate advanced threats, such as APTs, ransomware, and malware hidden in SSL-encrypted traffic.
Managing Router Security
Managing the security of a Cisco 897VA Gigabit Ethernet Security Router (C897VA-K9) involves implementing a combination of hardware and software security measures to protect the network from unauthorized access and various types of threats. Some key steps to managing router security include:
- Changing the default login credentials: The router comes with default login credentials that should be changed to prevent unauthorized access.
- Configuring the firewall: The router has a built-in firewall that can be configured to block unauthorized access to the network and protect against common network attacks such as denial-of-service (DoS) attacks.
- Enabling VPN: The router supports VPN protocols such as IPsec, L2TP, and PPTP, which can be used to create secure, encrypted connections between remote users and the network.
- Implementing Intrusion Prevention System (IPS): The router has an integrated IPS that can detect and block known and zero-day attacks, such as malware and worms.
- Enabling SSL VPN: The router supports SSL VPN, which allows users to access the network securely from any location using a web browser.
- Enabling Advanced Malware Protection (AMP): The router has AMP which can detect, block, and remediate malware, even if it is hiding in encrypted traffic.
- Configuring Network Address Translation (NAT): The router supports NAT, which can be used to hide internal IP addresses and protect the network from external threats.
- Configuring Access Control Lists (ACLs): The router supports ACLs, which can be used to restrict access to the network and control traffic flow.
- Keeping the router firmware updated: Regularly check for and install firmware updates to ensure that the router has the latest security patches and features.
- Monitoring Router security logs: Regularly monitor the security logs to check for any suspicious activity or potential security breaches.
