Description
Virtualization Capabilities of the WAVE-7571-K9
The Cisco WAVE-7571-K9 Wide Area Virtualization Engine (WAVE) is a powerful virtualization platform that provides advanced networking capabilities for wide area networks (WANs). The WAVE-7571-K9 is specifically designed to support virtualization and software-defined networking (SDN) in WAN environments.
The WAVE-7571-K9 supports a wide range of virtualization technologies, including virtual routing and forwarding (VRF), virtual private networks (VPNs), and virtual LANs (VLANs). This allows network administrators to create multiple virtual networks on a single physical device, each with its own unique routing and security policies.
The WAVE-7571-K9 also supports virtualization of application-level services, such as firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPS), and content filtering. This allows network administrators to deploy these services in a virtualized environment, reducing the need for dedicated hardware and improving scalability and flexibility.
The WAVE-7571-K9 also supports network function virtualization (NFV) and software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) capabilities. This allows network administrators to dynamically provision and manage network services in a virtualized environment, improving network performance and reducing costs.
WAN Optimization and Acceleration Features
The Cisco 7571 Wide Area Virtualization Engine (WAVE-7571-K9) is a WAN optimization and acceleration router that provides a wide range of features to optimize and accelerate wide area network (WAN) traffic. These features include:
- Compression: The WAVE-7571-K9 uses advanced compression algorithms to reduce the amount of data that needs to be transmitted over the WAN, increasing bandwidth efficiency and reducing latency.
- Caching: The router uses caching to store frequently accessed data locally, reducing the need for frequent WAN round trips and improving application performance.
- Quality of Service (QoS): The WAVE-7571-K9 provides advanced QoS features that allow administrators to prioritize different types of traffic, ensuring that critical applications receive the bandwidth they need.
- Traffic shaping: The router uses traffic shaping to regulate the amount of bandwidth allocated to different types of traffic, preventing congestion and ensuring that all applications receive the bandwidth they need.
- Link load balancing: The WAVE-7571-K9 provides link load balancing capabilities that allow administrators to distribute traffic across multiple WAN links, improving overall network availability and performance.
- VPN optimization: The router provides VPN optimization features that can accelerate VPN traffic, reducing the impact of VPNs on WAN performance.
- Security: The WAVE-7571-K9 provides advanced security features, such as firewalls and intrusion prevention systems, to protect the network from threats.
- Application visibility and control: The router provides detailed visibility into network traffic and allows administrators to control access to specific applications.
- Multi-path optimization: The WAVE-7571-K9 uses multi-path optimization to ensure that traffic is sent over the best path, reducing latency and improving overall network performance.
- Network-based acceleration: The router uses network-based acceleration techniques such as TCP offload and application-level acceleration to speed up the delivery of data across the WAN.
- Cloud-based management: The WAVE-7571-K9 can be managed remotely via Cisco’s cloud-based management platform, allowing administrators to easily monitor and configure the router from anywhere.
- Multi-tenancy: The router supports multi-tenancy, allowing multiple customers or organizations to share the same infrastructure while maintaining separate logical networks.
- High availability: The WAVE-7571-K9 provides high availability features such as redundancy and failover to ensure that the network remains up and running in case of a failure.
- Real-time monitoring: The router provides real-time monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities, allowing administrators to quickly identify and resolve issues.
- Reporting and analytics: The WAVE-7571-K9 provides detailed reporting and analytics capabilities, allowing administrators to gain insight into network usage and performance.
Quality of Service (QoS) and Traffic Management
The Cisco 7571 Wide Area Virtualization Engine (WAVE-7571-K9) supports Quality of Service (QoS) and Traffic Management to ensure that network traffic is handled in a manner that prioritizes important data and minimizes the impact of less important data.
The WAVE-7571-K9 supports a wide range of QoS features, including traffic shaping, rate limiting, and priority queuing. These features allow administrators to set policies that ensure that critical traffic, such as voice and video, is given priority over less critical traffic, such as email and web browsing.
The WAVE-7571-K9 also supports advanced QoS features, such as Multi-Field Classifier (MFC) and Class-Based Weighted Fair Queuing (CBWFQ). MFC allows administrators to create complex policies based on a wide range of packet fields, such as IP address, port number, and protocol. CBWFQ ensures that all traffic is handled fairly, regardless of the amount of bandwidth available.
In addition, the WAVE-7571-K9 supports traffic management features, such as Access Control Lists (ACLs) and Network Address Translation (NAT). ACLs allow administrators to control access to the network based on a wide range of criteria, such as IP address, port number, and protocol. NAT allows administrators to translate one IP address space into another, enabling multiple devices to share a single IP address.
