Module description

Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.

Cisco 1800 Series fixed-configuration integrated services routers enable a network infrastructure for SMBs and enterprise small branch offices. They enable deployment of a single device to provide multiple services, including integrated router with redundant link, LAN switch, firewall, VPN, IPS, wireless technology, and quality of service (QoS). The Cisco IOS Software Advanced IP Services feature set facilitates hardware-based IPSec encryption and features such as Cisco IOS Firewall, URL Filtering, IPS support, IPSec VPNs, Dynamic Multipoint VPN (DMVPN), anti-virus support, SSH 2.0, and SNM
