Cisco RV082 Dual WAN VPN Router
Product Overview
The Cisco® RV082 Dual WAN VPN Router (Figure 1) is an advanced connection-sharing network solution for your small business needs. Like any router, it lets multiple computers in your office share a connection to a public or private network. However, with dual WAN ports, the Cisco RV082 lets you use a second connection as a backup to help you stay connected, or it can be used to access a second provider to increase available bandwidth and balance traffic.
The Cisco RV082 also features a built-in 8-port full-duplex 10/100 Ethernet switch to connect eight PCs directly, or you can connect more hubs and switches to create as big a network as you need.
The VPN capability creates encrypted "tunnels" through the Internet, allowing up to 100 remote offices or traveling users to securely connect into your office network from offsite. Users connecting through a VPN tunnel are attached to your company's network -- with secure access to files, email, and your intranet -- just as if they were in the building. You can also use the VPN capability to allow users on your small office network to securely connect out to a corporate network.
The Cisco RV082 can serve as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server and has a powerful stateful packet inspection (SPI) firewall to protect your PCs against intruders and most known Internet attacks. It can be configured to filter internal users' access to the Internet and has IP address filtering so you can specify exactly who can connect to your network. Configuration is a snap with the web browser-based configuration utility.
As the heart of your small office network, the connection-redundant Cisco® RV082 Dual WAN VPN Router gives you the connection reliability your business needs.
