Thanks Kemp.<br />
If I was to use the model that you finalized your comment with, would the 1711 be providing NAT? Would the Linksys, 1711, and PIX all have public addresses? And also, we have a Cisco 1700 series (1720) router with a WIC DSU/CSU 56/64k. Could that be used to replace the Linksys?<br />
Thanks.

Hello. I need to reconfigure our network to also fit a VPN (via a Cisco 1711 w/hardware module). Presently the ADSL line comes into a Linksys router, and the LAN is directly connected to it.<br />
I would like to know what Cisco router would be suggested to replace the Linksys? As well as if a PIX would be included (security is becoming a high priority). Could you also include the physical layout order of things, and the interfaces with public or private addresses?<br />
Thanks in advance.

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.

Software Firewalls

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

Hardware Firewalls

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
