an ISDN port on the Cisco 836 router for out of
band management; and Secure Shell Protocol
(SSH) for secure in-band management via
Telnet. For scalability in deployment and
management, the Cisco Router Web Setup tool
(CRWS) or SDM allows non-technical users
to quickly set up the router and turn on key
features such as the stateful firewall. Cisco also
provides a suite of solutions—such as Cisco
Easy VPN, Cisco IE2100 management appliance,
Cisco VPN Solution Center (VPN SC), Cisco
Router Management Center (Router MC), and
Cisco Configuration Express—that allow for
scalable network deployment and management,
including automated security policy push, and
configuration updates.
For reliable access, the virtual AUX port on
the Cisco 831 and Cisco 837 and Cisco 836
can be used for dial backup with an external
modem, should the primary WAN connection
fail. The Cisco 836 offers this same functionality
but with an integrated ISDN port also. Dynamic
DNS feature is available on Cisco 830 routers
which enables the router to be accessible from
outside using a DNS name even when the WAN
IP address changes frequently. Additionally, the
Cisco 800 Series runs Cisco IOS Software, the
industry-proven software that has become the
standard for reliable business access.
