Cisco 800 Series of secure broadband routers are ideal for providing secure Internet

and corporate network connectivity to small remote offices and teleworkers.

The Cisco 800 Series of secure broadband routers provides a wide range of rich,

integrated security services, advanced quality-of-service (QoS) features for high-

quality voice, video, and data applications, and easy deployment and remote

management features with Cisco IOS software. The routers connect to the Internet

or corporate networks through an ADSL (Cisco 837, 827-4V), ADSL over ISDN

(Cisco 836), G.SHDSL (Cisco 828), ISDN (Cisco 801, 803), serial (Cisco 805), or via

an Ethernet WAN port connected to an external DSL or cable modem (Cisco 831).

BENEFITS AND ADVANTAGES
11

Advanced Security and Performance for

Enterprise Class VPNs

The Cisco 800 Series delivers integrated
enterprise-class security services, including
hardware-accelerated IP security (IPsec) (Cisco
831, 836, and 837), Advanced Encryption
Standard (AES) and Triple Data Encryption
Standard (3DES) encryption for virtual private
networks (VPNs), and a stateful inspection
firewall for secure Internet connectivity.
A stateful firewall offers more intelligent
perimeter security by denying or permitting
WAN traffic based on a session’s state, so
requests from users behind the firewall can be
received, while still preventing unauthorized
access. With the support of Cisco Easy VPN
Remote, setup, management, and maintenance
of VPN connections is simple using Cisco
800 Series Routers. Other important security
features offered by Cisco 830 routers are
Intrusion Detection System (IDS), Dynamic
Multipoint VPN (DMVPN), DMZ interface, 802.1x,
Quality of Service for VPNs and Public Wireless
LAN security features.

High-quality, Secure Voice and Video

The advanced QoS features of the Cisco
800 Series Routers, combined with high-
performance encryption on the 831, 836, and
837, provide high-quality voice and video
services to remote users. When IP phones are
connected at a remote site, a Cisco 800 Series
Router can queue and prioritize the voice traffic
over data traffic to ensure a high-quality, secure
voice over IP (VoIP) connection from the remote
or home office back to the corporate network.

Manageable, Scalable, and Reliable Access

The Cisco 800 Series utilizes valuable
management and deployment tools to deliver
the industry’s lowest total cost of ownership
for connecting small remote offices and
teleworkers to the corporate network. As a
remotely manageable platform, the Cisco 800
Series supports advanced remote trouble-
shooting commands available in Cisco IOS
Software; a virtual auxiliary port for
out-of-band management with an external
modem on the Cisco 831 and Cisco 837;
