Cisco IOS Firewall Feature Overview Stateful firewall: Full Layer 3 through 7 deep packet inspection Flexible embedded application layer gateway (ALG) Dynamic (ALG): D i protocol t l and d application li ti engines i for seamless granular control Application inspection and control (AIC): Visibility into both control and data channels to help ensure protocol and application conformance Virtual firewall: Separation between virtual contexts, addressing overlapping IP addresses
Selected List of Recognized Protocols HTTP, HTTPS, and JAVA E-mail: POP, SMTP, ESMTP, IMAP P2P and IM ((AIM,, MSN,, and Yahoo!) FTP, TFTP, and Telnet
Transparent (Layer 2) firewall: Deploy in existing network without changing the statically defined IP addresses
Voice: H.323, SIP, and SCCP
Intuitive GUI management: Easy policy setup and refinement with CCP and CSM
Citrix: ICA and CitrixImaClient
Resiliency: R ili Hi h availability High il bilit ffor users and d applications with stateful firewall failover
IPSec VPN: GDOI and ISAKMP
Interfaces: Most WAN and LAN interfaces
Database: Oracle, SQL, and MYSQL Multimedia: Apple pp and RealAudio Microsoft: MSSQL and NetBIOS Tunneling: L2TP and PPTP

Cisco IOS Firewall Common Deployments Scenarios Internal firewall: branch or small office Example: Retail outlet IOS Firewall Fi ll segments t the th network t k for f compliance li requirements i t in i transparent t t or routed t d environments, wireless to wired segments
Internet connected location: branch or small office Example: p Retail store with wi-fi hotspot p IOS Firewall separates VPN traffic to corporate headquarters and Internet traffic
Virtual firewall: location with co-located partners Example: p retail location with co-located p photo kiosk or p pharmacy y IOS Firewall supports partners’ overlapping IP addresses and secures the shared WAN connection between business partners
Transparent p firewall: large g to medium sized branch office Example: branch office with many existing network nodes IOS Firewall provides network protection without disrupting the existing network scheme
Securing Unified Communications: branch location with unified communications i ti Example: any branch office with Voice over IP IOS Firewall enables trusted media control and helps to prevent impersonation attacks Presentation_ID
