Cisco 1841 - VPN, HWIC & firewall

[vlad.dercaci]

1. Cisco 1841 with a standard IPBASE IOS can suport a site to site VPN tunnel, or have to have a advanced security image ? Are any security features (CBAC, ACL,DMZ, IPSec..) suported in IPBASE ?

2. Can I assign IP address on every port of a HWIC card for this router? And if so, can I make NAT on every port of this HWIC? (nat outside on diferent networks)

Secure Networking Features and Benefits

The Cisco 1800 Series features a built-in hardware-accelerated encryption on the motherboard that can be enabled with an optional Cisco IOS Software security image. The onboard hardware-based encryption acceleration offloads the encryption processes to provide greater IPSec 3DES and AES throughput. With the integration of optional VPN AIMs, NAC for antivirus defense, and Cisco IOS Software-based firewall and IPS support, Cisco offers the industry's leading robust and adaptable security solution for small to medium-sized businesses and small enterprise branch offices. Table 3 outlines router-integrated security features and benefits.
