Cisco 1712 Router VPN Firewall 1x WAN 2x LAN IOS Enterprise Business Wty
Cisco 1712 — VPN Router & Firewall, 1x WAN 2x LAN, IOS Enterprise
The Cisco 1712 is a compact VPN router and stateful firewall running Cisco IOS Enterprise, designed for small branch office and SOHO deployments requiring genuine enterprise-grade security. With one WAN port and two LAN ports, it delivers site-to-site IPsec VPN, stateful packet inspection, and NAT for organisations that need Cisco IOS reliability without the cost of larger platform devices. Backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty.
Key Benefits
- Cisco IOS Enterprise: The same operating system used across Cisco's enterprise router portfolio — familiar CLI, consistent behaviour, and trusted security track record.
- IPsec VPN: Site-to-site VPN tunnelling connects branch offices to headquarters securely over the internet without dedicated MPLS circuits.
- Stateful packet inspection: Layer 4 firewall inspects connection state rather than individual packets — more effective than simple ACL-based filtering.
- Compact form factor: Small desktop form factor suits branch office environments where rack space is unavailable.
- Cisco IOS feature richness: ACLs, NAT, QoS, routing protocols (RIP, OSPF, BGP capable), and SNMP management in a single device.
- Proven reliability: Cisco 1700 series routers have a long track record in branch office deployments globally.
Performance in Use
In a small branch office role, the Cisco 1712 sits at the WAN edge — connecting an ADSL or Ethernet WAN handoff to the branch LAN while applying stateful firewall policy to inbound and outbound traffic. IPsec site-to-site VPN tunnels to headquarters allow staff to access internal file servers, ERP systems, and printers as if they were on the same network. Cisco IOS's QoS capabilities can prioritise VoIP traffic over WAN bandwidth to ensure call quality during peak usage.
For Cisco-experienced network engineers, the IOS CLI provides a familiar environment for ACL configuration, NAT rules, and routing protocol setup without a GUI dependency. The 1712's modest hardware is well-matched to branch offices with 5–20 users where the WAN link is the bottleneck rather than the router. For environments requiring network monitoring integration, the built-in SNMP agent reports to Cisco Prime, SolarWinds, and other NMS platforms.
