MODEL- CISCO871-K9 VENDOR- CISCO FEATURES- Cisco 871 Secure Ethernet Router Cisco 871 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet Router. Cisco 870 Series of integrated services routers are fixed- configuration routers that support multiple types of DSL technologies broadband cable and Metro Ethernet connections in small offices. They provide the performance needed to run concurrent services including firewall intrusion prevention and encryption for VPNs; optional 802.11b/g for WLAN networking; and quality of service (QoS) features for optimizing voice and video applications. In addition the Cisco Router and Security Device Manager (SDM) Web-based configuration tool simplifies setup and deployment and centralized management capabilities give network managers visibility and control of the network configurations at the remote site. Cisco 870 Series integrated services routers offer: - High performance for broadband access in small offices - Advanced security including: - Stateful Inspection Firewall - IP Security (IPSec) VPNs (Triple Data Encryption Standard [3DES] or Advanced Encryption Standard [AES]). - Intrusion prevention system (IPS) - Antivirus support through Network Admission Control (NAC) and enforcement of secure access policies. - 4-port 10/100 managed switch with VLAN support - Secure WLAN 802.11b/g option with use of multiple antennas - Easy setup deployment and remote management capabilities through Web-based tools and Cisco IOS Software.* Increased Performance to Run Concurrent Services The performance in a Cisco 870 Series router allows customers to take advantage of broadband network speeds while running secure concurrent data voice and video services.* Advanced Security Integrated Stateful Inspection Firewall for network per

Simple and feature rich . NOTE: This is review is also in the context of setting up a CCSP/CCNP lab.
Granted in a production environment, the plethora of integrated security features are nice, and if you have fewer than 20 systems on your network, then this little guy is exactly what you need. For a branch-office, its inline security design is ideal. Additonally it supports up to 5VPN tunnels, so admins should be able do whatever tasks are needed. However, if you plan on using this for a DMZ, I'd recommend you reconsider. This only has 128MB of DRAM, and isn't the fastest CPU either, so you -will- have latency on a heavily accessed webserver. If its an extranet for some business partners, I'm sure you can get away it, but this will NOT meet your needs for consumer traffic destined for eCommerce or email relay servers for large corporations.
As far as setting up your own Cisco lab goes, this is by far the cheapest unit to support all the IOS features that must be mastered for CCNP's ISCW, and CCSP's SND and SNRS exams. Specifically:
-CBAC
-APPFW
-DES/3DES IPSec VPN [primarly for site-to-site]
-EZ VPN
-IPS
-WebVPN
-SDM
-AAA
Additionally, it can be configured to interoperate w/ a Micro$oft CA; another plus as far as self-training goes. Not -that- common in Corporate America; however if you plan on deploying smart cards to a highly mobile IT team, it can be useful to know how to do this.
NOTE: For the tests I used IOS 12.4(9), since the exams specificaly as you about attack-drop.sdf, 128.sdf, and 256.sdf. In newer versions of the IOS, they now use v5.x of the signature files, which is completely different format and no longer uses the predefined SDF files.

Cisco 871 Integrated Services Router - router ( CISCO871-K9 ) Reviews
Good value but not for the average user . I was looking for a router that was a step above the typical home models that are out there. For the money this is a solid value but there are some drawbacks that you need to be aware of. First of all you need to purchase a Cisco Smartnet service contract in order to download the firmware. Second loading and configuring the firmware is not a simple task. You get unlimited phone support with your service contract, but I spent many hours on the phone getting the router set up and configured. Also, there was a bug in the latest release of their firmware so I ended up having to downgrade to the previous version. That being said, once it was up and running I have had no issues or complaints.

Cons Review
Used to think highly of Cisco . I recently bought eleven Cisco871s for remote locations and a Cisco 2901 as the termination point at my headquarters. Simple VPN configuration with everything coming back to my main site, even got a CCNP (he also has CCVP, CCIP,CCDP, CS-CIPCCES, Security+, A+) to configure them for me. I wasted two weeks of trying to get them working with the contractor before I got them working.
The money I thought I was saving over buying an easy to configure Checkpoint or Sonicwall was quickly lost on the contractor, not to mention the pain of working on them for two weeks.
I don't understand why Cisco thinks they need to make configuring a device so complicated. Plenty of other companies have figured out how to make and actual graphical interface that works. Even their fancy Cisco Configuration Professional I heard was so great is pathetic.
