Table 5. Cisco VPN 3000 Series Highlights
Feature Description
High-Performance Distributed Processing
Architecture
●
Cisco Scalable Encryption Processing (SEP) modules provide hardware-based encryption, helping to ensure consistent
performance throughout the rated capacity (Cisco VPN 3020, 3030, 3060, and 3080 Concentrators).
●
Large-scale tunneling support is provided for SSL, IPsec, Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP), and Layer 2
Tunneling Protocol (L2TP)/IPsec connections
Scalability (Cisco VPN 3015, 3020, 3030,
3060, and 3080 Concentrators)
●
Modular design (four expansion slots) provides investment protection, redundancy, and a simple upgrade path (Cisco
VPN 3030 and 3060 Concentrators only).
●
System architecture is designed to supply consistent, high-availability performance.
●
All-digital design provides the highest reliability and 24-hour continuous operation.
●
Robust instrumentation package provides run-time monitoring and alerts.
●
Microsoft compatibility offers large-scale client deployment and smooth integration with related systems.
●
Integrated device clustering (load-balancing) technology.
Security
●
Full support of current and emerging security standards allows for integration of external authentication systems and
interoperability with third-party products.
●
Firewall capabilities through stateless packet filtering and address translation help ensure the required security of a
corporate LAN.
●
User- and group-level management offer maximum flexibility; clientless SSL VPN offers granular access control per
group and detailed logging information.
High Availability
●
Redundant subsystems and multichassis failover capabilities help ensure maximum system uptime.
●
Extensive instrumentation and monitoring capabilities provide network managers with real-time system status and early
warning alerts.
Robust Management
●
Concentrators can be managed using any standard Web browser (HTTP or HTTPS) or using Telnet, SSHv1, and using
a console port. Files can be accessed through HTTPS, FTP, and Secure Copy Protocol (SCP).
●
Configuration and monitoring capabilities are provided for enterprises and service providers.
●
Access levels are configurable by users and groups, allowing easy configuration and maintenance of security policies.
For larger deployments, Cisco VPN 3000 Series Concentrators are supported in several Cisco network management
applications, including:
- Cisco IP Solution Center (ISC): Provisions site-to-site and remote-access VPN services
- CiscoWorks Monitoring Center for Performance: Monitors and reports on remote-access and site-to-site VPN tunnel
connections
- CiscoWorks Resource Manager Essentials (RME): Provides operational management features such as software
distribution, syslog reporting, and inventory management
- CiscoWorks CiscoView: Provides real-time system status monitoring
SIX MODELS
The Cisco VPN 3000 Series offers six concentrator models. Each model supports the full suite of IPsec and SSL VPN.
Cisco VPN 3005 Concentrator
The Cisco VPN 3005 Concentrator is designed for small to medium-sized organizations with bandwidth requirements up to full-duplex
T1/E1 (4 Mbps maximum performance), with support for up to 200 simultaneous IPsec sessions or 50 simultaneous clientless sessions.
Encryption processing is performed in software. The Cisco VPN 3005 does not have built-in upgrade capability.
