Securing IP Routing and Remote Access on Cisco Routers

Cisco equipment comprises a large part of the Internet's infrastructure and is used by many large companies. Routers provide physical connectivity between networks by virtue of their physical attachments to either local area networks (LANs) or wide area networks (WANs). Cisco router has several vulnerabilities that could allow hackers to disrupt Internet traffic, intercept sensitive information such as passwords and credit card numbers or redirect traffic from web sites. Securing the router is the first thing that system administrator needs to do before any network to be implemented. Securing IP routing and remote access are ways of securing your routers.
