Cisco Routers

Cisco Routers are used around the whole organization for different purposes. They enable us to make the connectivity between different domains, and with different customers, Cisco Routers specifically enable connectivity between different networks, cloud, and on-prem networks, enterprise networks, Service Provider Networks, etc. With Cisco Routers we are able to transfer the data from one place to another, they help keep the data in separated tenants for different customers. With Cisco Routers we are able to expand our enterprise network around the globe.

Cisco can help secure the network, however alone they are not capable to do it as such and we need to have the firewall device or any SASE technology to secure the perimeter. What Cisco Routers can do, they can connect with Security devices or vendors to Secure the organizations. Cisco Firewall such as ASA Firewall is capable of having the features such as threat protection and Securing the Parameter. But Cisco Routers can be connected to any Security Vendor Equipment or cloud to secure the enterprise network.

Cisco Meraki series routers are used to provide wireless internet access to all employees within our organization. These routers are being used across the whole organization. Cisco Meraki Series routers solve the problem of router management, network access and policy management, security, and wireless connectivity. The router supports easy plug-and-play deployment and remote management via the web-based Meraki cloud platform without the need for wireless controllers. For network policies and security, the devices have a dedicated radio to identify rogue device intrusions, network attacks and to perform spectrum analysis. The devices provide data security using advanced encryption algorithms, a built-in firewall, and 802.1X authentication. For enhanced wireless connectivity, the devices provide high-speed internet using dual radio bands and support features such as 802.11ax, MU-MIMO OFDMA, band steering, beamforming, voice, and video optimization, Cloud-based RF-optimization, and advanced analytics capabilities.

Cisco Routers are provided with a dedicated third radio to perform network scans to identify rogue devices and network attacks. Cisco Meraki Air Marshal integrated into each access point provides details about real-time intrusion alerts, policy violations, and mitigation techniques. The devices provide enterprise-grade security via features such as an in-built firewall, application blocking and traffic shaping, network access control for BYOD devices, and radius-based authentication. These security features were the important factors in considering Cisco Meraki routers and the organization is happy with the way these features enhance network and data security for the users.

Cisco routers are used throughout the company in order to maintain a stable network, these have been implemented as an upgrade to previous equipment from another provider. They are configured and monitored by the Telecommunications department. Additionally, this parameterization is verified by Information Security in order to maintain the protection of the company's infrastructure. The implementation of this equipment arose from the need to expand the bandwidth that with the growth of the company became imminent. One of the great advantages is that Cisco is a recognized company with many support teams and that is added to the compatibility of the equipment, which is one more technological level.

At the security level, Cisco has several guides that provide help so that the configuration of its equipment is generated in a safe and reliable way, in turn, the administrators of the organization have defined the parameters and ports established as best practices under the existing ISOs. this in order to prevent any vulnerability that may arise.

Cisco routers provide you with connectivity at the network layer level, it is important to choose the right Cisco router that will help you conduct your business smoothly and protect your data, becoming the core of your company or project communications. In my case, we use it as the core and edge teams for the entire organization and in turn, our clients to whom we provide support use them in different scenarios, edge, PE, P access among others.

If the truth is that the equipment is not very vulnerable, and the benefit has been obtained by implementing the best practices recommended by the manufacturers, which are aligned to maintain a network with high availability and security.

The Cisco routers are being used to route traffic from all of our buildings in our school district. They help to make it possible to have one internal network no matter what building you are located at. They help us with VLANs to separate devices on our network with routes between VLANs.

There are many forms of security. With Cisco routers, you can turn on and off ports. If an intruder can gain access to a closet they can simply plugin. Shutting off ports makes things more secure. There is also user management. You can tie Cisco into Active Directory so that you know who is logging into the router and making changes vs everyone using a generic admin account and password.

Cisco Routers are used across the whole organization. Business Problems addressed by Cisco Routers are: we have a large scale network with more than 300+ switches country-wide, management of [the] network is not so easy in VLAN infrastructure with huge data movement between datacenter to users and DR Site as well on [a] daily basis. Cisco Routers manage all data routes in a very efficient way without any issue.

Cisco Routers had very good threat protection [featuring] Cisco Advanced Malware Protection (Cisco AMP), but we can't rely on one solution. Therefore, we are using firewalls for security and threats issued across the organization with high availability with [the] best security architecture and advanced quality of service from threats and cyberattacks.

We implemented multiple solutions with these devices in our customer networks. We mainly used them as aggregation routers for branches using different kinds of VPNs (GRE tunnel, DMVPN, etc.) A second extended use for these devices are as border routers against ISPs running partial or full BGP tables in dual-homed scenarios.

Cisco Routers are perfect to be used as an aggregation point for branches. We have used encrypted VPNs solutions to guarantee security and integrity. Tunneling Encryption with IPsec or link integrity and confidentiality using Macsec [is] one of the main features used in our solutions.

In today's connected world, many business operations are heavily dependent on the availability and performance of internet connections. The same is the case for our organization, and we needed to implement high availability with automatic failover for internet connectivity with multiple internet links. We chose to implement BGP with our ISP to get this done. We needed a router for this task, so we chose Cisco Routers and completed this task via Cisco Routers. It has been working flawlessly ever since.

Our organization has not benefited from this capability as we are using firewalls for threat protection and securing our networking edge. The firewalls have a wide range of security features and stronger hardware for inspection and filtering of inbound and outbound traffic. It also has web filtering and antivirus built-in.

One of the main pieces of hardware we would use, especially in a SOHO or Medium sized network as they can scale as far as you need them!

We've benefited from a lot of the inbuilt intrusion detection on our cloud hosting side of things. Helps let the users in while keeping the boogeymen out! It also have a nice VPN client to help make a tunnel from remote locations back to the office.

Cisco Routers are being used extensively now throughout the company. Although it is set up and monitored by the IT department exclusively, the whole work force is now directly or indirectly dependent on Cisco Routers. Our main concerns being lack of down time and high requirements for security and compatibility, Cisco Routers has been fantastic for us.

One of the major strong points of purchasing Cisco Routers in spite of its exorbitantly high price, is the trust and security it provides. Our organization has definitely benefited as our security protocols are now stronger than ever. It also prevents data frauds, breeches and rules out any suspicious or unauthorized activities.

It is being used in a startup and small business setting for secure and fast network access for all office devices.

My organization has definitely benefited from it. It has done its job and provided reliable network access for all our devices.

The Cisco devices are used throughout the enterprise and support the entire organization. They help us ensure our end user and customer network is segmented from our employee and testing networks. They provide a secure barrier from other devices and we rely on them to keep unwanted scans from penetrating to our server VLANs and network.

Yes, we have certainly benefitted from threat protection on our network from Cisco. The access controls from Cisco provide reliable and secure lockout mechanisms and ensure our VLANs are segmenting traffic as we need them to. We have recently undergone a vulnerability scan from an outside security company and were very pleased to hear that our network protection performed as expected and kept the scanning utilities out of our critical server infrastructure (as we expected it to).

We have Meraki MX Cisco Routers at a couple different remote locations. They allow us to manage all devices from one web console without having to individually log in to multiple remote devices. It's nice not to have to worry about managing updates on each device, so I'm definitely happy about that.

The Meraki series provides really good threat protection and is a good option for overall network security. Having the constant updates and always-on link to the web console allows Cisco to include better security than on their standalone devices. I think the subscription fee helps force Cisco to support their Meraki products with updates longer than they would with a standalone product, so I don't have to worry about replacing equipment as often.

I have implemented Cisco Routers for most of WAN connections and Internet peering sites. Most of the business issues like security and bandwidth issues are very well handled by Cisco Routers. The problems these routers solved were VPN and WAN QOS. Most of our customers use these routers for the whole organisations and across all BU.

Yes.The IOS software is also safer and hardened with security in mind. The product design itself is secure thus providing more assurance to end customers.

Cisco Routers are utilized by our organization in order to host our film database and manage our library of prior film submissions. We are looking for the most cost effective solution to manage our database of over 250,000 films while reducing the latency viewers experience while accessing prior films and submitting new films to our database.

Cisco Routers have provided us a high degree of threat protection. Due to their native security features we were able to minimize external cyber security costs. Prior to purchasing Cisco Routers we engaged PaloAlto for our cyber security framework - after making the Cisco purchase we were able to reduce external cyber security costs while not worrying about threat protection due to Cisco's security reputation.

Cisco Routers are used corporate-wide, by 700+ users daily, including users on campus and remotely via VPN. They address basic user connectivity to corporate assets. We do not use many ACLs on these particular devices, opting for a dedicated firewall instead, but for routing, these devices are spot on. Meraki, at least, is much easier to set up if not as granular that traditional IOS, but for out of the box setup, can't be beaten.

We do not implement these features at the L3 level. We instead use an L7 NGFW. The routers only route and we have some very basic ACLs there only.

All our routers are Cisco routers and have been for many years. Cisco is still the de facto standard and have very high quality. From a technical perspective the internet is a very good resource for any troubleshooting you might need to do: there is a massive amount of documentation and experience to be found on the web regarding Cisco.

While our Cisco router is not the primary line of defense of our network, they do allow us to add that little extra protection. Although Cisco offers the options for security, you still need to configure them yourself, so it is important to have knowledgable staff or contractors to help you.

I recently used two RV models of Cisco Routers, more precisely the RV042 and RV340. The main feature used is the VPN and in both it worked well. I believe most of those looking for and purchasing this line of Cisco Routers are looking to implement such functionality in their small and medium businesses.

It has configurable firewalls and logs that add security to your network. They have good security options that will work well in conjunction with other protections applied in the network. There are also access configuration options, blacklists, and web filtering.

They are used in our distribution, core, and peering layers.

No, we are not interested in our routers doing anything except routing.
