Figure 2. Deployment Scenarios
APPLICATIONS
The Cisco 870 Series is ideally suited to be deployed where a small office is going to be connected to a larger network, most often with a secure VPN
connection. These types of offices can include the following:
• Small Remote Office—Connects users in a small remote office, such as insurance agents, lawyer offices, or sales offices. When connecting to the
main office, VPN encryption and integrated security such as firewall, and intrusion prevention protect the network at every perimeter. IT managers
can centrally manage the remote site to quickly troubleshoot any network issues. For added reliability, customers can also use dial backup, through
an external modem, should the primary broadband link fail. Integrated secure WLAN connectivity simplifies the number of devices that need to be
managed at the remote site.
• Teleworking—The Cisco 870 Series is ideal for corporate teleworkers who may have a mix of broadband connection types to choose from. A
platform such as the Cisco 870 Series gives IT managers a standard platform to manage at the employee’s home office. QoS features in the Cisco
870 Series allow an IP phone to be connected to the router, giving voice traffic precedence over data applications. Integrated WLAN support in
the Cisco 870 Series helps ensure that if wireless connectivity is to be used, it can be done securely. (See Cisco Business Ready Teleworker
Solutions for more information.)
