Product Overview

Thank you for choosing the Cisco Small Business RV 120W Wireless-N VPN Firewall. The Cisco RV 120W is an advanced Internet-sharing network solution for your small business needs. It allows multiple computers in your office to share an Internet connection through both wired and wireless connections.

The Cisco RV 120W provides a Wireless-N access point, combined with support for Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) to make your network more secure. Its 10/100 Ethernet WAN interface connects directly to your broadband DSL or Cable modem. There are four full-duplex 10/100 Ethernet LAN interfaces that can connect up to four devices. The wireless access point supports the 802.11n standard with MIMO technology, which multiplies the effective data rate. This technology results in better throughput and coverage than provided by 802.11g networks.

Cisco RV 120W Administration Guide 1

Introduction

Product Overview

The Cisco RV 120W incorporates a Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI)-based firewall with Denial of Service (DoS) prevention and a Virtual Private Network (VPN) engine for secure communication between mobile or remote workers and branch offices. The Cisco RV 120W supports up to ten gateway-to-gateway IP Security (IPsec) tunnels to facilitate branch office connectivity through encrypted virtual links. Users connecting through a VPN tunnel are attached to your company’s network with secure access to files, e-mail, and your intranet as if they were in the building. You can also use the VPN capability to allow users on your small office network to securely connect out to a corporate network

The Cisco RV 120W’s wireless access point supports Wireless Distribution System (WDS), which allows the wireless coverage to be expanded without wires. It also supports multiple SSIDs for the use of virtual networks (up to 4 separate virtual networks), with 802.1Q-based VLAN support for traffic separation. The Cisco RV 120W implements WPA2-PSK, WPA2-ENT, and WEP encryption, along with other security features including the disabling of SSID broadcasts, MACbased filtering, and allowing or denying “time of day” access per SSID. The Cisco RV 120W supports Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) and Wi-Fi Multimedia Power Save (WMM-PS) for wireless Quality of Service (QoS). It supports 802.1p, Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP), and Type of Service (ToS) for wired QoS, which can improve the quality of your network when using delay-sensitive Voice over IP (VoIP) applications and bandwidth-intensive video streaming applications.

With the Cisco RV 120W’s embedded web server, its settings can be configured using the browser-based Device Manager. The Cisco RV 120W supports Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari web browsers. The Cisco RV 120W also provides a setup wizard and VPN wizard. The setup wizard allows you to easily configure the Cisco RV 120W’s basic settings. You can use the VPN wizard to easily configure VPN tunnels.
