• All-in-one solution—Integration of multiple functions, including VPN, stateful inspection firewall, intrusion
detection system (IDS), full-featured Cisco IOS
advanced QoS features
Part of the Cisco end-to-end security solution portfolio, the Cisco 1710 Security Access Router runs Cisco IOS
Software, the accepted industry standard networking operating system for the Internet. This advanced software
platform provides comprehensive security, advanced QoS, and routing functionality not found on simple broadband
access devices.
For service providers, the Cisco 1710 Security Access Router provides an add-on security solution to basic broadband
services. By delivering managed VPN services to small and medium-sized businesses and small branch office
customers, service providers can help customers deploy e-business applications that leverage their current equipment
investments.
The Cisco 1710 Security Access Router delivers a comprehensive feature set, including support for:
• Secure Internet, intranet, and extranet access with VPN and firewall
• Dual Ethernet for flexibility in using any high-speed broadband connection
• Standards-based IEEE 802.1Q virtual LAN (VLAN)
• Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE)
• Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client and server
• Network Address Translation (NAT)/Port Address Translation (PAT)
• Tunneling with generic route encapsulation (GRE), Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP), and Layer 2
Forwarding (L2F)
Comprehensive Security
To support global networking and e-business today requires more than broadband WAN connectivity. Businesses
need cost-effective, comprehensive security capabilities, including integrated VPN and firewall support. The Cisco
1710 Security Access Router delivers the latest VPN tunneling technology, including an integrated VPN hardware
encryption module that accelerates IP Security (IPSec) 3DES performance up to full duplex T1/E1 speeds. Integrated
firewall technology prevents unauthorized Internet users from accessing the enterprise LAN. Additionally, remote
management applications, such as Cisco Security Device Manager (SDM), make it easier than ever to deploy and
monitor VPN and Cisco IOS Firewall on your Cisco 1710 Security Access Router.
VPN
VPNs enable companies to securely connect their branch offices, mobile workers, and business partners over public
networks, dramatically lowering costs compared to a private line. By taking advantage of the vast, shared
communications infrastructure of the Internet or a shared service provider backbone, companies avoid the service
charges of traditional private networks. Using today's technologies, VPNs deliver a wealth of benefits, enabling
companies to
• Improve data security
• Increase network performance and availability
• Reduce recurring WAN costs
• Simplify network operations
