Cisco Enterprise Routers Primary Use Case

Hafiz Umar Farooq - PeerSpot reviewer
Founder & CEO at ITGAT

The major purpose of our using Cisco Enterprise Routers is to terminate the 0.2 internet links because we don't use net features on the router. We prefer to configure NAS and other publishing through Cisco activities. We use the routers to create GRE channels with our different sites.

We use Cisco routers, firewalls, switches, and the Cisco Eyes and NAT solution in our environment. I have also done some R&D to implement mass cloud infrastructure for my client.

We're using the ISR series at the moment. The version is 4451 or 4431. These are public routers. We have permitted our major internet links on these routers.

This is an edge device for my organization. Normally, the enterprise company has one or two Cisco routers because they use it for internet termination and PLS termination.

I am using version 16.4 of the ISR router.

Technical Consultant at KPN IT Solutions - Trusted Services

In my case, I use Cisco Enterprise Routers for voice communication systems, so I need a specific coverage of service between the sites. In our company, we use switches that are validated and certified by our suppliers because if it is not working with them, then we cannot use them. Sometimes, we use Aruba in our company, while at times, we use Cisco, depending on the manufacturer or system supplier. Sometimes, it gets difficult when you mix some things from one supplier to the other, but the product works in the end.

There was a need to connect remote offices. They numbered at least 18, which is why we had to deploy routers that also supported SSL and VPNs. We then built this wide area network using MPLS. As a result, we used service providers. They are three MPLS services, and we built an IP-based network for a large area at the time.

The statistics show you a full brief of every user, every type of connection used, and the total bandwidth used. We control our VPNs through it and our actual line of defense for our security is the Cisco firewall. We have four different fiber connections and two satellite connections connected to our offices. They all load balance through Cisco and another analytics device. It integrates very well into our network and we find it to be extremely robust and durable.
