The Cisco 1020 router connects small office Ethernet LANs to corporate networks through standard telephone dial-up or leased telephone lines. After it is configured, the router will automatically route packets to and from remote destinations based on Internet Protocol (IP) or Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) addresses. The remote dial-up network routing connections can be on-demand, continuous, or manual.

Supported Network Connections
The Cisco 1020 has three ports for local and wide area network connections:
- 1 RJ-45 10BaseT port (Ether 0) for connection to your Ethernet network
- 1 RJ-45 Serial port (Console or Async 1) for configuration, or connecting an external modem
- 1 Type-2 PCMCIA modem slot (Async 2) for integrated modem connection
Note The Cisco 1020 ships with an RJ-45 to DB-25 (female) cable for connecting the console port to a PC serial port. You may also connect a standard ASCII terminal or an external modem to this port. See the appendix "Cabling Specifications" for kit information.
The Cisco 1020 can be configured through the console port, from a personal computer (PC) serial port, standard ASCII terminal, or via telnet. Configuration options include:
- Full command line configuration
- Telnet login support for command line configuration
- All communications parameters configurable online
- Network downloadable software upgrades and configuration
Security Features
Security is enhanced through the following:
- IP filtering on source/destination addresses, protocol, source/destination ports, and established status of connection
- IPX filtering on source/destination network, source/destination host, source/destination socket
- Point-to-Point protocol (PPP), Password Authentication Protocol (PAP), and Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP)
Note CHAP is preferred.
- Password security for administrative access
- Host security for Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) access
- Username/password for connection establishment
Routing Capabilities
The Cisco 1020 provides the following routing capabilities:
- On-demand, continuous, and manual dial-out
- For security, all dial-out connections may use Point-to-Point Protocols PAP or CHAP
- All dial-out connections may use a "chat script"
- Dynamic Routing on a per interface basis using Routing Information Protocol (RIP) for IP and IPX
Wide-Area Network (WAN) Connectivity
The following WAN connections are supported:
- PPP with Address/Control Field compression, Protocol Field compression, PAP & CHAP authentication protocols, Magic Number loopback detection, Maximum Receive Unit negotiation, Async Control Character Map negotiation, IP control protocol, IP address negotiation and assignment (negotiated or specified), Van Jacobsen TCP/IP header compression, IPX control protocol, and IPX PPP.
- Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP)
- Compressed Serial Line IP (CSLIP)
- IPXWAN
Supported Standards and RFCs
The following standards and Request for Comments (RFCs) are supported:
- Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), Internet Protocol (IP), Internet Packet Exchange (IPX), Sequenced Packet Exchange (SPX), Service Advertising Protocol (SAP), Routing Information Protocol (RIP), Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP), Compressed Serial Line Internet Protocol (CSLIP), Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP), User Datagram Protocol (UDP), Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), and Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP)
