Cisco RVS4000

A firewall is a bastion of the first layer in this Ethernet router, however the facility Intrusion Detection / Prevention System into second-tier defenses.At first glance, the physical form is very similar to Cisco



RVS4000 Linksys WRVS4400N wireless router we've tested in last month's issue. Cisco RVS4000 also comes with a placemat / buffer can be positioned vertically so that the stand to save the use of space. The difference, Linksys WRVS4400N using the antenna, while the Cisco-RVS4000 not. Four port LAN (local network) to RJ45 cable is behind a router entity has a transfer speed of data packets 1000 mbps gigabit ethernet alias thus supporting the use of cable CAT5E or CAT6 RJ45 type.

Cisco User-RVS4000 does not need to worry about the approach of the era of IPv6, because this cable router, including DHCP server system in it, supporting compatibility with IPv4 and IPv6 addressing system.Although the physical form is very similar to the Linksys WRVS4400N, facilities management and security that exist in our Cisco-RVS4000 more diverse values. IP Sweep Detection There is a facility that would recognize the existence of illegal attempts to scan (scanning) client IP addresses. There are also facilities Messeger Instant Control to manage the client can communicate with anyone (and prohibit activities that potentially harm the local network, such as sending files via instant messenger). Peer to Peer Control Facility functions to manage file sharing inter-client directly. Anomaly Detection Application Facility will identify abnormalities of the application and provide direct warning.The rest, facilities and security arrangements of networks owned by Cisco-RVS4000 equal to that of the Linksys WRVS4400N. The first facility is the ACL (access control list) to set permissions for internet access based on service type, IP address, and can be scheduled. The second facility which can also be scheduled is the Internet Access Policy. This facility is similar to the ACL, but more devoted to the HTTP protocol-based Internet service (and will filter addresses or web content based on keywords). The third facility, the Port Forwarding that include single port handling capacity and port range, allowing forwarding service requests from the Internet to a server in local network (which runs a service and listening on a specific port number). The facility is reinforced with Port Forwarding Port facilities Trigerring.Facilities that become value-added services to Cisco RVS4000, ie a VPN (Virtual Private Network) that supports the IPsec protocol, PPTP, and L2TP. VPN facility enables clients who are on the internet join the local network securely through tunell.Facilities virtual LANs on the Cisco-RVS4000 supports integration with RADIUS server, port mirroring, and RSTP protocols. No less interesting, facilities QoS (Quality of Service) are able to address the problem of monopoly in the local network bandwidth. How to limit bandwidth based on port number, type of service protocol and the type of application.The results of our testing of SPI firewall (Statefull Packet Inspection) on Cisco-RVS4000 (using Shield-Up at grc.com trusted sites) show that there is no open service ports (Open). Most of the service port is in a closed status (Closed), while some of them hidden status (Stealth). In this test, we positioned the Cisco-RVS4000 as a leading gateway and use the public IP address.We also tested the system IDS / IPS on Cisco-RVS4000 use Nessus tool which has thousands expolit simulated attacks against the security hole. Previously, we download the signature for IPS / IDS Cisco's latest on the official site and update the signature database IDS / IPS in the Cisco-RVS4000. Conversely, we also do updates to plugins and exploits in Nessus. The results indicate that there are 5 open ports, 12 low-level security gaps, as well as a high-level security holes. It turns out the security hole with such high security risks caused by the administrator login passwords into a web interface that is still in their default state (default). From reason, we recommend you change that default password with a more unique and powerful.***Cisco RVS4000 able to become an investment-cable network infrastructure to be reliable and ready for the era of IPv6. Support gigabit ethernet to meet the needs of a fast network. IDS system and strengthen the firewall's VPN to meet the needs of the extra network security.
