• Advanced QoS Features. Cisco IOS QoS features control the allocation of VPN bandwidth to mission-critical
applications. The Cisco 1710 supports advanced QoS features such as committed access rate (CAR), policy
routing, Low-Latency Queuing (LLQ), Priority Queuing/Class-Based Weighted Fair Queuing (PQ/CBWFQ),
Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED), Generic Traffic Shaping (GTS), Resource Reservation Protocol
(RSVP), and DiffServ.
• Multiprotocol Routing. With Cisco IOS Software, the Cisco 1710 offers optional multiprotocol routing (IP, IPX,
and AppleTalk), IBM/Systems Network Architecture (SNA), and transparent bridging. Competing security
solutions cannot match the full-featured routing functionality (RIP, OSPF, IGRP, EIGRP, and BGP) of the Cisco
end-to-end network solution.
• IEEE 802.1Q VLAN. Using the IEEE 802.1Q VLAN standard, the Cisco 1710 enables enterprises to set up
multiple VLANs and route between them for added security within the internal corporate network and ease of
network resource management.
• Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Server/Client. DHCP provides a way for network administrators
to centrally manage and automate the assignment of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses in an organization's
network. With DHCP server, the Cisco 1710 is the central point for assigning IP addresses to individual IP devices
on the network. DHCP client allows enterprises and service providers to deploy the Cisco 1710 without having
to statically assign IP address information to the Ethernet WAN interface.
• PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE). This Cisco IOS Software feature enables the router to be authenticated on a service
provider's network or corporate home gateway using PPP, providing support for service provider access control
as well as usage tracking and service billing.
Cisco IOS Software is the industry standard networking software and delivers proven reliability. The use of Cisco
IOS technologies ensures that a VPN can scale reliably to large networks through the support of Internet Key
Exchange (IKE) and digital certificates with leading certificate authorities (CAs), scalable routing protocol features
such as Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol and Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), Border
Gateway Protocol (BGP), and reliability services such as Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP).
Ease of Configuration and Remote Management
The Cisco 1710 supports a range of ease-of-installation and management tools:
• Cisco Security Device Manager (SDM) is an intuitive, easy to use, web-based device management tool embedded
within the Cisco IOS access routers. SDM enables resellers and customers to quickly and easily deploy, configure
and monitor a Cisco access router without requiring knowledge of Cisco IOS Command Line Interface (CLI).
Through smart wizards, SDM can automate best practices for NAT, ACLs, VPN and firewall deployment. Other
common LAN, WAN, and routing protocol configurations can also be easily performed through SDM. Network
resellers and customers can further fine-tune router configurations for changing business needs and preview the
Cisco IOS CLI for each configuration through SDM. For more information visit www.Cisco.com/go/sdm.
• CiscoWorks2000, the industry-leading Web-based network management suite, provides the ability to remotely
configure, administer, monitor, and troubleshoot the Cisco 1710. CiscoWorks2000 provides increased visibility
into network behavior and quickly identifies performance bottlenecks and long-term performance trends. It also
provides sophisticated configuration tools to optimize bandwidth and utilization across expensive and critical
WAN links in the network.
