The Cisco VPN 3002 Hardware Client, part number CVPN3002-8E-K9, is a cost-effective, easy-to-manage device designed for remote offices and telecommuters who need secure connectivity to a corporate network. This hardware client functions as a reliable VPN gateway, offering secure, fast, and encrypted access to centralised company resources. Unlike standard software clients, this hardware option reduces the processing load on a user's computer, resulting in faster and more stable performance for those working remotely.
The unit is part of Cisco's highly regarded VPN solutions and provides support for 8 Ethernet interfaces, making it flexible for small branch offices or teleworkers. The device uses IPsec technology to ensure secure data transmission, supporting up to 168-bit encryption, along with the capability to handle diverse encryption and authentication standards like MD5, SHA-1, and DES/3DES. The security protocols enable confidential communication between remote sites and main offices.
The Cisco VPN 3002 also includes a stateful firewall feature, further enhancing its security capabilities. It offers simple configuration and management through the Cisco VPN 3000 Concentrator software, allowing network administrators to handle everything, from initial setup to routine operations, including diagnostics and updates.
This device is best suited for small environments with up to 100 remote workers, offering a balance between ease of use and high security. As a dedicated unit, the Cisco VPN 3002 also frees up bandwidth and computing power, enabling users to focus on their tasks while the hardware efficiently handles VPN and security functions.
