Benefits
The Router Management Center offers features, such as smart
rules hierarchy, resiliency support via IKE and generic routing encapsulation
(GRE), import and deployment to files or devices, wizards-based support for
setup of IKE and VPN tunnel policies, reusable building blocks, and more. The
main features and benefits of the Router Management Center’s are summarized as
follows:
-
Web browser interface—Makes it easy to define and deploy
policies.
-
Simplified policy definitions—Wizard-based interface that
steps the user through the creation of IKE policies, tunnel policies, and
transform sets.
-
Support for a large number of devices—Uses device grouping,
Smart Rules hierarchy, and reusable policy components to enable VPN
configurations that scale to thousands of devices.
-
Enhanced resiliency with IKE keepalives or GRE for
failover—Supports IKE keepalives or GRE, with EIGRP or OSPF routing protocols,
to provide failover options.
-
Transparent translation of VPN policies to CLI commands—Web
interface allows simplified and quick configuring and managing VPN policies. The
application translates the VPN policies into CLI commands to be deployed to
devices.
-
Flexible deployment to files or devices—Choice of deploying
configurations directly to devices as CLI commands or generates files containing
CLI commands, which can be written to devices later.
-
Configuration rollback—Possible to restore a device’s
previous configuration if not satisfied with a configuration after deploying VPN
policies.
-
Frame Relay network support—Deploy hub-and-spoke VPN
configurations over a Frame Relay network.
