We're looking for a single Cisco device that can support multiple functions. The functions I'm thinking of are: Gateway (basic router functions) VPN Server (IPSec) Firewall Web Proxy Server VoIP Media Gateway (Similar to Audiocodes MP-112) Remote admin (this is probably default with Cisco) VLAN support Anyone know of a single Cisco device capable of all these functions? Thanks! Thanks:) | ||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options IOS doesn't do that. You need a router that supports VoIP to act as a voice PSTN gateway, because this requires codecs and the appropriate interface hardware. The selection of the router platform is dependent on many different factors such as how many and types of interfaces you need to support, and the expected packets to processed. | ||||||||||||||||

Thanks Thrill5...we're looking for an off the shelf device that might be able to do it all. We currently use a combo of devices such as Cisco 1812, 2600 switch and a couple of Linux boxes. Maybe we could put some kind of Cisco device and Linux proxy in place to handle the load. The ports would be fairly low and we're going over a VSAT link, so latency is pretty poor. Surprisingly the current setup works pretty good, even with latency, however it's difficult to configure because of all the various parts we have in our rack. Anyway...thanks again. | ||||||||||||||||

Of course you could do all of it with a single Linux box (except probably the switch). But you need to study and experiment a lot to get everything working. In the past I have read about a Cisco web proxy module that was in fact a Linux box in a network module, but it seems it has been discontinued. | ||||||||||||||||

Hi Tom, You could always use WCCP to redirect your web traffic to the proxy (config guide : http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/ipapp/configuration/gui= de/ipapp_wccp.html ), so all you'll be left with on that list is "VoIP Media Gateway (Similar to Audiocodes MP-112)", which I'm pretty sure you should be able to get something similar on a 3800 series (multi services gateway). Feel free to give me a shout if you're stuck configuring WCCP -- it can be awkward. /Ruairi | ||||||||||||||||
