Feature Benefit
Power over Ethernet (PoE) 802.3af Power over Ethernet support delivers power to IP phones or external wireless access points
through the 10/100 switch ports to eliminate the need for power cords for these devices.
Rack- and Wall-Mountable Delivers flexibility in mounting on a wall or in a standard 19-inch rack. Optional rack mount kit can
be ordered for support in 19-inch rack.
Secure Networking
Cisco IOS Firewall, Including URL
Filtering
Application Inspection, Transparent and Stateful firewall, and URL filtering protects the network from
unauthorized user access. URL filtering prevents inappropriate Websites from being accessed and
downloading of offensive content.
Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) Detects harmful network activity and generates alarms to warn of threats and intrusion attempts.
New IPS signatures can be dynamically loaded.
AutoSecure Facilitates rapid implementation of firewall and security policies to optimize network security with a
single Cisco IOS command.
Site-to-Site VPN Connects remote access clients and branch offices to central sites more cost-effectively and flexibly
than networks using leased lines, Frame Relay, or ATM.
Dynamic Multipoint VPN (DMVPN) Allows for secure, direct spoke-to-spoke communication with the added benefit of configuration
simplicity and zero-touch deployment. This feature allows users to better scale large and small IPSec
VPNs by combining generic routing encapsulation (GRE) tunnels, IPSec encryption, and Next Hop
Resolution Protocol (NHRP).
Cisco Easy VPN Remote and Server Eases administration and management of point-to-point VPNs by actively pushing new security policies
from a single headend to remote sites.
Network Admission Control (NAC) Ensures client devices are using the most up-to-date antivirus application and signature files and
protects the network from harmful threats by prohibiting network access if outdated versions are used.
Wireless Networking
Integrated IEEE 802.11 a/b/g
Access Point
• Provides simultaneous operation at multiple Wi-Fi frequencies including 2.4 GHz and 5GHz.
• Supports Cisco Aironet, Wi-Fi Certified and Cisco Compatible client devices.
Wireless VLAN Provides support for multiple wireless VLANs that can be configured to provide additional security,
segmentation, and separation of user groups.
Multiple Antenna Options Removable antennae provide flexibility to add multiband wall-mount and ceiling-mount antennas.
Certification
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) • Wi-Fi Certified for WPA-Enterprise.
• Provides enterprise-class security for WLANs.
• Helps to ensure interoperable security with wireless LAN client devices from other manufacturers.
Ease of Use and Management
Integrated Auxiliary Port Allows remote configuration and management.
Cisco Router and Security Device
Manager (SDM)
An intuitive, easy-to-use Web-based device management tool that helps resellers and customers to
quickly and easily deploy, configure and monitor a Cisco access router without requiring knowledge
of the Cisco IOS Software command-line interface (CLI).
Enhanced Setup Optional setup wizard with context-sensitive questions guides the user through the router
configuration process, allowing faster deployment.
