Description
Advanced Security Features
The Cisco 2911-HSEC+/K9 Integrated Service Router has advanced security features that protect your network from various types of threats. These features include:
- Firewall: A built-in firewall that uses stateful inspection technology to inspect and block incoming traffic that does not meet your security policy.
- Intrusion Prevention System (IPS): An integrated IPS feature that can detect and prevent various types of network attacks, such as worms, viruses, and Denial of Service (DoS) attacks.
- Virtual Private Network (VPN): Support for various VPN protocols, including IPsec and SSL, to securely connect remote users and sites to your network.
- Public Key Infrastructure (PKI): Support for PKI to authenticate remote users and devices and to encrypt data in transit.
- Network Admission Control (NAC): Support for NAC to ensure that only authorized devices are allowed on the network.
- Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) support: to provide the highest level of security to protect your network data.
- Advanced security features such as these helps to protect your network from various types of threats, including malware, unauthorized access and data breaches, while also providing secure remote access to your network.
Remote Management Protocols
The Cisco 2911-HSEC+/K9 Integrated Service Router supports several remote management protocols that allow you to remotely configure and monitor the router. These protocols include:
- Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP): This protocol allows you to remotely monitor the router’s performance and to receive notifications of any errors or alerts.
- Telnet and Secure Shell (SSH): These protocols allow you to remotely access the command-line interface (CLI) of the router and to configure the router from a remote location.
- Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP): This protocol allows you to remotely access the router’s graphical user interface (GUI) and to configure the router using a web-based interface.
- Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) and Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP): These protocols allow you to remotely discover and monitor the devices connected to the router.
- Network Time Protocol (NTP): This protocol allows you to remotely synchronize the router’s clock with an accurate time source.
- Remote management protocols such as these allows you to monitor, configure and troubleshoot the router from a remote location, which can be very useful in cases where the router is located in a remote or hard-to-reach location.
Establishing Internet Connectivity
Establishing internet connectivity on the Cisco 2911-HSEC+/K9 Integrated Service Router involves configuring the router to connect to your internet service provider (ISP) and to properly route internet traffic. The specific steps for establishing internet connectivity will depend on the type of connection your ISP provides and the router’s current configuration, but generally, the process involves the following steps:
- Configure the WAN interface: Depending on the type of connection your ISP provides (such as DSL, cable, or fiber), you will need to configure the appropriate WAN interface (such as ATM, serial, or Ethernet) on the router to connect to the ISP.
- Configure the Internet Protocol (IP) address: Depending on the type of connection your ISP provides, you will need to configure the appropriate IP address (such as DHCP, static, or PPPoE) on the router.
- Configure the default gateway: The default gateway is the IP address of the router that connects to the internet. You will need to configure the router’s default gateway to point to the IP address of your ISP’s router.
- Configure the Domain Name System (DNS) servers: DNS servers are used to resolve domain names to IP addresses. You will need to configure the router to use the DNS servers provided by your ISP.
- Configure Network Address Translation (NAT) : NAT is used to allow multiple devices on a private network to share a single public IP address when connecting to the internet. You will need to configure the router to perform NAT on the traffic coming from the internal network.
- Save and test the configuration: Once you have completed configuring the router, save the configuration and test the internet connectivity by pinging a known internet IP address.
- Configure any additional security measures such as firewall and VPN if needed.
