Security and Firewall: Features and Benefits
Security is a fundamental element of any network, and Cisco products play an important role in
embedding security at the customer’s access edge. The optional Cisco IOS Software security
features for the Cisco 1861 Integrated Services Router are activated with hardware-based
encryption on the motherboard and provide a robust array of features such as Cisco IOS Firewall,
IP Security (IPsec) VPNs (Digital Encryption Standard [DES], Triple DES [3DES], and Advanced
Encryption Standard [AES]), SSL Web VPN, SSHv2.0, and SNMP in one solution set. Table 3
summarizes the enhanced security functions available through the optional security image.
