Module description

Cisco 870 Series fixed-configuration integrated services routers support multiple types of DSL technologies, broadband cable, and Metro Ethernet connections in small offices. They 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. These routers also offer Stateful Inspection Firewall, IP security (IPSec) VPNs, intrusion prevention system (IPS), antivirus support, and secure WLAN 802.11b/g option with use of multiple antennas.
