Management and Ease of Installation

The Cisco 1720 router supports a range of network

management and ease-of-installation tools. Cisco

ConﬁgMaker is a Windows Wizards-based tool designed to

conﬁgure a small network of Cisco routers, switches, hubs,

and other network devices from a single PC. Designed for

resellers and network administrators of small to

medium-sized businesses, it guides the user through the

network design and new device installation process, making

the tasks as simple as drawing a network diagram. Cisco

ConﬁgMaker simpliﬁes VPN deployment with support for

VPN policy conﬁguration, including the Cisco IOS Firewall

feature set, IPSec, Network Address Translation (NAT), and

DynamicHostConﬁgurationProtocol(DHCP)Server.(IPSec

support will be available in Q1 CY '99.)

CiscoView, a GUI-based device management software

application for UNIX platforms, provides dynamic status,

statistics, and comprehensive conﬁguration information. In

Q1 CY '99, the Cisco 1720 will also support

CiscoWorks2000, Cisco's industry-leading Web-based

network management suite. Its browser interface simpliﬁes

tasks such as managing network inventory and device

changes, changing conﬁguration, rapidly deploying new

software images, and troubleshooting. Forservice providers,

Cisco Service Management (CSM) provides an extensive

suite of service management solutions to enable service

providers to quickly plan, provision, monitor, and bill for

VPNs.
