Data Sheet
Cisco 805 Series Serial Router
The Cisco 805 Serial Router offers enhanced network security and reliability through
the power of Cisco IOS®Software technology tailored for small offices.
Figure 1
The Cisco 805 Serial
Router gives small
offices enhanced
security, superior
reliability, and safe
investment with low
cost of ownership.
The Cisco 805 Serial Router extends the
power of Cisco IOS Software technology to
small offices. Cisco IOS Software offers
enhanced security, reliability, and safe
investment, combined with low cost of
ownership, to enable customers to benefit
from increased productivity, simplified
communication, and reduced costs
(Figure 1). The Cisco 805 Serial Router
enables customers to benefit from
value-added services such as managed
network services, virtual private networks
(VPNs), point-of-sale (POS) applications,
and secure Internet access.
Benefits of Using Cisco 805
Serial Router
Taking advantage of its expertise and
leadership in Internet solutions, Cisco
Systems offers solutions for small-office
routing solutions that provide secure and
reliable access to the Internet or corporate
networks.
Enhanced Security
The Cisco 805 Serial Router has enhanced
security features such as an integrated
stateful firewall and IP Security (IPSec)
encryption to enable VPNs. These features
allow small offices and telecommuters to
conduct business over the Internet while
protecting valuable resources.
Superior Reliability
Because the Cisco 805 Serial Router is
based on the same proven Cisco IOS
Software technology used throughout the
Internet, small offices can depend on it just
as enterprise customers take advantage of
Cisco reliability. In addition, a Cisco 805
Serial Router provides Internet access to
multipleuserswithoutbeingtiedtoaserver
or dedicated PC. This means if a server on
the LAN crashes, other users remain
connected to the Internet.
Safe Investment and Low Cost of
Ownership
The Cisco 805 Serial Router offers memory
options that can be upgraded in the field so
the latest networking features can be added
when necessary. With an advanced
processor and memory architecture, they
cansupportfutureapplicationsascustomer
networking needs expand. Table 1 provides
a summary of Cisco 805 Serial Router
hardware features.

With Cisco IOS Software, customers using the Cisco 805 Serial Router can reduce operational costs for training,
management, installation, and deployment.
Product Features
Security
To take advantage of the unprecedented opportunities offered by communications and commerce over the Internet,
companies need to secure private information. Cisco Secure Integrated Software provides many technologies to build
a custom security solution. The elements of security services include perimeter security, identity, monitoring, privacy,
firewalls, IPSec encryption, and VPNs.
Standard Security
Perimeter security refers to the control of traffic entry and exit between network boundaries, such as between private
networks, intranets, extranets, or the Internet. Cisco IOS Software perimeter security technologies provide a highly
flexible, superior solution with features such as:
• Standard and extended access control lists (ACLs)
• Lock and key (dynamic ACLs)
• Router and route authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) protocols such as Password
Authentication Protocol (PAP) or Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP), and MS-CHAP
• Network Address Translation (NAT) (including multi-NAT)
• Token card authentication with Cisco Secure authentication
NAT eliminates the need to re-address all hosts with existing private network addresses and hides internal addresses
from public view. For businesses that want to allow selected access to the network, NAT can be configured to allow
only certain types of data requests such as Web browsing, e-mail, or file transfers.
Enhanced Security
•Dynamic firewall—Companies increasingly rely on internal networks and servers to access company data. To use
the Internet as a key business tool, companies must connect their internal networks to the Internet, while keeping
sensitive internal data secure. Company data can be protected against unauthorized access with stateful firewalls.
The integrated Cisco IOS Firewall Feature Set is a stateful firewall that provides:
–Stateful (dynamic) ACLs (application or context based)
–Java blocking

–Denial-of-service attack detection and prevention
–Real-time alerts and audit trails
Dynamic firewalls provide these vital enhanced security features. The term firewall is used by many vendors, but
not uniformly referred to as stateful firewalls. Firewalls that are not dynamic do not provide these enhanced
security features.
Encryption and Tunneling
The Cisco 805 Serial Router provides IPSec encryption technology to enable small offices and telecommuters to
deploy VPNs. IPSec encryption provides privacy, integrity, and authenticity for transmission of sensitive information
over the Internet. The unique end-to-end Cisco offering allows customers to implement IPSec encryption
transparently into the network without affecting individual PCs. The Cisco 805 Serial Router with IPSec encryption
allows significant cost savings by using the Internet to create secure connections between small offices and
teleworkers. As a component of the Cisco VPN solution, the Cisco 805 Serial Router supports:
• IPSec tunneling with 128- or 56-bit Data Encryption Standard (DES or Triple DES [3DES])
• Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP)
• Generic routing encapsulation (GRE)
Manageability
The Cisco 805 Serial Router supports management by a wide range of platforms and applications. Cisco
ConfigMaker (Microsoft) and CiscoView (UNIX) applications provide superior capabilities for configuration and
securitymanagement, as well as performance and fault monitoring. The Cisco 805 Serial Router supports centralized
administrationand management usingSimpleNetwork Management Protocol(SNMP),Telnet, or local management
through the router console port.
Safe Investment
Small offices with limited time, money, and staff need to know their technology investments are safe.
Field-expandableDRAM and Flash memory allow small offices to take advantage of newCisco IOS Software feature
enhancements. And because the Cisco 805 Serial Router incorporates an advanced processor and memory
architecture, it can support future applications as customer networking needs expand.
Companies using the Cisco 805 Serial Router can take advantage of Cisco industry-leading support options that help
to ensure the router stays up and running. These support services include:
• Cisco IOS Software updates in features such as protocol, security, and bandwidth
• Full access to Cisco.com for technical assistance and product information
• Twenty-four-hour access to the industry's largest dedicated technical support staff, with the first 90 days included
at no charge

Installation and Configuration Tools
The Cisco 805 Serial Router also supports configuration with the Cisco ConfigMaker application. Cisco
ConfigMaker is a software tool designed to configure a small network of Cisco routers, switches, hubs, and other
network devices from a single PC using Windows 95, 98, 2000, or NT 4.0. It is designed for resellers and network
administrators of small and medium-sized businesses that are proficient in LAN and WAN fundamentals and basic
network design.
For additional setup ease, the Cisco 805 Serial Router has color-coded ports and cables to help users make proper
connections (Figure 2). Quick Reference Guide documentation provides easy-to-follow installation instructions. Key
features and benefits of the Cisco 805 Serial Router are defined in Table 2, and Table 3 lists Cisco 805 Serial Router
hardware specifications.
