Stack, Which includes Autosensing 10/100 Hubs and Switches
Key Features and Benefits
The Cisco 1720 offers industry-leading VPN support,
flexibility, and network device integration, with key features
listed in Table 1.
Table 1 Key Features and Benefits of Cisco 1720 Series
Feature Function/Benefit
VPN Support
Full Cisco IOS support
Including multiprotocol routing (IP, IPX, AppleTalk, IBM/SNA) and
bridging
• Industry de facto standard networking software for Internet and private WANs
• Provides industry’s most robust, scalable, and feature-rich internetworking software support
• Part of Cisco’s end-to-end network solution
Firewall
Cisco IOS Firewall includes CBAC for dynamic firewall filtering,
denial-of-service detection and prevention, Java blocking, and
real-time alerts
• Allows internal users to access the Internet with secure, per-application-based dynamic access
control while preventing unauthorized Internet users from accessing the internal LAN
Encryption
IPSec ESP DES and Triple DES.
Expansion slot for future high-speed hardware-based encryption
• Enables creation of VPNs by providing industry-standard data privacy, integrity, and authenticity as
data traverses public networks
• Provides option to upgrade to high-speed hardware-assisted encryption up to T1/E1 when available
RISC Processor • Enables software-based encryption performance at 512 kbps for VPNs
Device Authentication and Key Management
IKE, X.509v3 digital certificate, support for CEP with certificate
authorities (CAs) such as Verisign and Entrust
• Ensures proper identity/authenticity of devices and data
• Enables scalability to very large IPSec networks through automated key management
User Authentication
PAP/CHAP, RADIUS, TACACS+, Token
• Ensures that the users are who they say they are
Tunneling
IPSec, GRE, L2F, L2TP
• Choice of standards-based tunneling methods to create VPNs for IP and non-IP traffic
• Allows any standards-based IPSec or L2TP client to interoperate with Cisco IOS tunneling
technologies
Management
Manageable via SNMP (CiscoView, CiscoWorks2000), Telnet, and
through console port
• Allows central monitoring, configuration, and diagnostics for all functions integrated in the Cisco
1720 router, reducing management time and costs
Ease of Use and Installation
Cisco ConfigMaker, SETUP configuration utility, AutoInstall,
color-coded ports/cables, LED status indicators
• Simplifies and reduces deployment time and costs with graphical LAN/VPN policy configurator,
command-line context-sensitive configuration questions, and straight-forward cabling
• LEDs allow quick diagnostics and troubleshooting
Network Address Translation and Easy IP • Simplifies deployment and reduces Internet access costs
Quality of Service
CAR, Policy Routing, WFQ, GTS, RSVP
• Allocates WAN bandwidth to priority applications for improved network performance
Reliability and Scalability
Cisco IOS software, dial-on-demand routing; dual bank Flash
memory, scalable routing protocols (for example, OSPF and
Enhanced IGRP), Hot Standby Router Protocol
• Improves network reliability and enables scalability to large networks
Flexibility
Modular architecture (WAN card slots) • Enables flexible WAN choices on the Cisco 1720 router, protecting investment
WAN interface cards shared with Cisco 1600, 2600, and 3600 routers • Reduced cost of maintaining inventory
• Lowers training costs for support personnel
• Protects investments through reuse on various platforms
