Cisco 892 Series Integrated Services Routers

Cisco 890 Series Integrated Services Routers are designed to deliver secure broadband, Metro Ethernet, wireless LAN connectivity, and business continuity for enterprise small branch offices. These fixed-configuration routers also come with powerful management tools, such as the web-based Cisco Configuration Professional, which simplifies setup and deployment. The Cisco 892 model includes an integrated ISDN BRI S/T interface.

Cisco 892 Series Integrated Services Routers offer:

High performance for secure broadband and Metro Ethernet access
Business continuity and WAN diversity with redundant WAN links (Fast Ethernet and ISDN Basic Rate Interface (BRI) )
Secure 802.11a/g/n access point (optional), which offers dual-band radios for mobility, and supports Cisco Unified WLAN architectures
Enhanced security, including:
Firewall with advance application and control
Site-to-site remote-access and dynamic VPN services: IP Security (IPsec) VPNs, Group Encrypted Transport VPN [GET VPN] with onboard acceleration, and Secure Sockets Layer [SSLVPN]
Intrusion prevention system (IPS)
Content filtering

Cisco® 890 Series Integrated Services Routers combine Internet access, comprehensive security, and wireless services onto a single, secure device that is easy to deploy and manage. The best-in-class Cisco 890 Series Integrated Services Router architecture has been specifically designed to deliver high performance with concurrent services, business continuity, and investment protection for enterprise small branch offices and service provider managed services applications.

Cisco 890 Series Integrated Services Routers are fixed-configuration routers that are designed for secure broadband, Metro Ethernet, and wireless deployments. They offer comprehensive security and threat defense, advanced Cisco IOS® routing, Metro Ethernet and network management. The routers provide business connectivity and high availability with integrated ISDN and v.92 WAN backup.

Troubleshooting VoIP in Converged Networks

I recently did a recording for Cisco of a presentation that I’ve done at VoiceCon about troubleshooting VoIP in converged networks. This recording, along with links to the audio files referenced in it, is available from the Cisco Learning Network web site at:jivesoftware.com

The Cisco Learning Network home page is at:jivesoftware

The slides may not be very readable in the presentation and if that’s important to you, then go to the Netcordia/Resources/Webinars web page to download a PDF of the presentation:netcordia

In the presentation I step through a set of common problems with VoIP, from adding a VoIP phone to a network to the causes of poor voice quality. I identify the problems that are typically encountered and how to troubleshooting them. Symptoms, causes, and remediation steps are described. In this presentation, I takes you through:

The processes of:adding a VoIP phone to a network
The types of problems that are typically encountered and how to begin troubleshooting them

Symptoms, causes, and remediation steps for typical VoIP network problems
Because there is more time in the recording studio than I have as a member of a panel at VoiceCon, I was able to expand on some of the trougleshooting topics. So even if you’ve attended my talk at VoiceCon, you may benefit by watching the Cisco Learning Network video recording. It is less than 30 minutes in length.

Default Cisco Router Web Interface Setup Makes CISCO Routers Completely Vulnerable

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow for the execution of commands on the device at any privilege level, up to and including privilege level 15. Accessing the device at privilege level 15 would enable total control of the device, including but not limited to device configuration changes and device reloading.

The Cisco Router Web Setup tool (CRWS) provides a Web interface for configuring Cisco SOHO and Cisco 800 series routers which allows users to set up their routers. The GUI is accessed through the Cisco IOS HTTP server, which is enabled on the default IOS configuration shipped with the CRWS application.

The Cisco IOS HTTP server uses the enable password (assuming one has been configured) as its default authentication mechanism. Other authentication mechanisms can be configured, including the use of a local user database, an external RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) or an external TACACS+ (Terminal Access Controller Access Control System) server. The default IOS configuration shipped with the CRWS application does not include an enable password or an enable secret command, allowing access to the Cisco IOS HTTP server interface at any privilege level, up to and including privilege level 15, without providing authentication credentials. Privilege level 15 is the highest privilege level on Cisco IOS devices.

Cisco Technical Design Days

I attended a Cisco event yesterday titled “Cisco Tech Days.” It was an all-day seminar by Cisco SEs on two areas of technology:

Advanced Campus Topics
Branch-WAN Topics

It was a good day of presentations (I stuck with the Advanced Campus track). The presenters are regional SEs, which means that some of the presentations are not as polished as if they were given by the corporate marketing folks. Having the local SEs do the presentations gives you an idea of who knows what in your area and often means that they are skipping a lot of the corporate marketing stuff in favor of the technical content (that’s a good thing in my mind). A couple of the presenters in the Advanced Campus track were very good and a couple were so-so. But even in the so-so presentations, the slides included good content that was useful to me.

One of the presentations was on High Availability design, which I’ve seen at past Networkers. It is good to see it again, which helps me pick up on more nuances that I missed in prior viewings. This is an excellent topic since it covers excellent tips on network design as well as improving network availability. Ask your Cisco rep to get you a copy if you don’t have access to the copy from the Networkers site.

The sessions started at 830am and ended at 5pm, when everyone’s brain was full. A continental break fast and lunch were provided. Even better, it was all free. There are sessions still pending at some cities across the country. I tried to find the schedule and registration link on Cisco’s web site, but had to resort to loading the announcement on our site: tech_days-v2_TD-com-ev1a.pdf. I received the announcement in an email blast to the region from our local Cisco office, so I presume that it is acceptable to make it public.
