Here are some technical details about the router and configuration. I would want to use it to assist in studying for the CCNA. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Router has an Ethernet WAN port for use with an external DSL or cable modem and offers a four-port 10/100 Ethernet LAN switch for connecting multiple PCs or network devices in a small-office network.
The Cisco 831 router has an Ethernet WAN port for use with an external DSL or cable modem and offers a four-port 10/100 Ethernet LAN switch for connecting multiple PCs or network devices in a small-office network.
Advanced security for data, voice, and video access ideal for small offices and teleworkers. The Cisco 830 Series of secure broadband routers is ideal for providing secure Internet and corporate network connectivity to small remote offices and teleworkers. Cisco 830 Series routers provide a wide range of integrated security services, as well as advanced quality of service (QoS) features for high-quality data, voice, and video applications, and offer easy deployment and remote management features with Cisco IOSr Software.
Features:
Stateful Inspection Firewall
Access Control Lists (ACLs),
Network Address Translation/Port Address Translation (NAT/PAT),
Lock-and-Key security, dynamic ACLs, and router and route authentication
Cisco Intrusion Detection System (IDS)
Hardware-accelerated IPSec 3DES encryption
Cisco Easy VPN Remote
URL Filtering with WebSENSE software and server*
IPSec NAT Transparency (NAT Traversal or NAT Aware IPSec)
PKI support with digital certificates
IP QoS-Low-latency queuing, Weighted Random Early Detection, committed access rate (CAR), Class-Based Traffic Shaping
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) QoS (for Cisco 837)-ATM Traffic UBR, VBRnrt, VBRrt, and CBR with per-VC queuing and traffic-shaping
High-performance encryption
IP Multicast technology
Cisco Router Web Setup Tool
Supported by Cisco VPN Solution Center, CiscoWorks VPN/Security Management Solution (VMS) and Cisco Secure Policy Manager
*Features targeted for future Cisco IOS Software Release
Default DRAM1 Memory 32MB (max 48MB)
Default Flash1 Memory 8MB (max 16MB)
