Cisco 1711 Datasheet page 4

With the Cisco IOS AutoSecure feature a single Cisco IOS Software command can disable common IP services that
can be exploited for network attacks and can enable IP services and features that can aid in the defense of a network
when under attack. This feature also simplifies the security configuration of a router and hardens the router
configuration.
The Firewall Websense URL Filtering feature enables the Cisco IOS Firewall to interact with Websense URL filtering
software, allowing it to prevent users from accessing specified Websites on the basis of some security policy. The
Cisco IOS Firewall works with the Websense server to know whether a particular URL should be allowed or denied
(blocked).
Advanced QoS
Cisco QoS features maximize network performance levels and help businesses reduce WAN access costs by
classifying application data, giving the most important applications priority use of the WAN line. The Cisco 1711
and 1712 routers come standard with a complete suite of advanced QoS features such as the Resource Reservation
Protocol (RSVP), Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ), and IP Precedence and many others. Features such as committed
access rate (CAR); policy routing, low-latency queuing (LLQ), generic traffic shaping (GTS), Frame Relay traffic
shaping (FRTS), and RSVP also help allocate WAN bandwidth for improved performance.
Superior Management
Cisco 1711 and 1712 routers offer superior management applications and ease-of-installation tools including Cisco
SDM, CiscoWorks, CiscoView, and CiscoWorks Small Network Management Solution (SNMS).
The Cisco SDM is an intuitive, Web-based device management tool embedded within the Cisco IOS Software access
routers. SDM simplifies router and security configuration through smart wizards to enable customers to quickly and
easily deploy, configure and monitor a Cisco access router without requiring knowledge of Cisco IOS Software CLI.
Cisco SDM provides innovative ease-of-use features to enable quick deployment of security services (firewall, VPN,
and Network Address Translation [NAT] for example.) on Cisco 1711 and 1712 routers. Cisco SDM's intelligent
wizards guide users step-by-step to configure LAN and WAN interfaces, firewall, and VPNs. Additionally, Cisco
SDM wizards can automatically detect incorrect security configurations and propose fixes, such as allowing Dynamic
Host Control Protocol (DHCP) traffic through a firewall if the WAN interface is DHCP-addressed.
Another innovative feature in Cisco SDM is Security Audit (Figure 4). This functionality allows the user to create a
security audit report of their existing router configuration and then lock-down the router configuration based on
ICSA Labs and Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) recommended configuration through a single click. Cisco
SDM is flexible in its design to improve the productivity of users not familiar with Cisco IOS Software CLI through
intelligent wizards, and to help the expert Cisco IOS Software users to quickly fine tune the standard firewall and
VPN configuration generated by the wizards to be more site specific. Cisco SDM has a Cisco IOS Software CLI preview
mode for expert users to review all the configurations generated by Cisco SDM in Cisco IOS Software CLI format.
CiscoWorks, the industry-leading Web-based network management suite, provides the ability to remotely configure,
administer, monitor, and troubleshoot the Cisco 1711 and 1712 routers, and also increases visibility into network
behavior by quickly identifying performance bottlenecks and long-term performance trends. CiscoWorks provides
sophisticated configuration tools to optimize bandwidth and usage across expensive and critical WAN links in the
network.
