Full Power of Cisco IOS Software

The Cisco 3600 is a component of the Cisco complete end-to-end solution set for dial connectivity. No other vendor can offer remote users as many options for Internet access and enterprise extension. This offering is also boosted considerably by the ability of the Cisco IOS software to affordably deploy dial virtual private networks (Dial VPNs). Users can also save through bandwidth optimization techniques such as data compression and can deploy high-quality network security firewalls and data encryption.

Security

The primary concern for most network managers today is security. The Cisco 3600, along with the popular and robust Cisco IOS software, provides comprehensive security throughout customer core networks. For remote user environments, the Cisco 3600 extends that proven core security to mixed-media dial-in sites. Among the security features supported by the Cisco IOS software are, IOS Firewall Features, DES, and 3DES data encryption, extended access lists, violation logging, Remote Access Dial-In User Service (RADIUS), Kerberos V, and TACACS+ with authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA).

Scalability

The Cisco implementation of the Multichassis Multilink Point-to-Point Protocol (MMP) allows customers to start small and scale additional access servers as required, while still being able to dial into one center. Enterprise and branch office network managers with medium dial-in pools can easily scale and integrate their access infrastructures to aggregate multiple calls on multiple servers, providing a higher-bandwidth solution to their end users. These scalability features are critical for service providers and enterprise customers as they build resilient systems that leverage distributed network reliability. Multilink Point-to-Point-Protocol (MP) allows users to take advantage of ISDN connections and achieve a raw 128-kbps data throughput using two B channels. Async users can also take advantage of this feature, if supported on their workstation, with two modems connected over two phone lines.
MMP support is a key factor in scaling the Cisco 3600 solution to meet expanding user requirements. MMP allows calls to be “linked,” regardless of the physical chassis each call is placed to, allowing Cisco 3600 chassis to be stacked and viewed as one dial-in pool.
