Cisco Configuration Professional is a graphical user interface (GUI) device management tool for Cisco IOS software-based access routers. Cisco Configuration Professional simplifies router, security, unified communications, wireless, WAN and basic LAN configuration through GUI-based easy-to-use wizards. The workflows in Cisco Configuration Professional help medium-sized business and enterprise customers and Cisco partners to quickly and easily deploy, configure, and monitor a Cisco router without requiring knowledge of the command-line interface (CLI).Cisco Configuration Professional is a valuable productivity-enhancing tool for network administrator and channel partners deploying routers in medium-sized businesses and enterprise branch offices. Cisco Configuration Professional allows them to implement router, unified communications, security, and wireless network configurations with reduced cost and increased confidence and ease. Cisco Configuration Professional configurations have been approved by the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC), which means that configuration checks built into Cisco Configuration Professional reduce errors. Cisco Configuration Professional also helps customers avoid potential network issues by proactively monitoring router performance statistics, system logs, and security logs in real time.Cisco Configuration Professional offers smart wizards and advanced configuration support for Cisco LAN and WAN interfaces, Network Address Translation (NAT), stateful and application firewall policy, IPS, IPSec VPN, QoS, and NAC policy features.Cisco Configuration Professional is the device manager for the ISRs and will replace SDM (Cisco router and Security Device Manager) over time. Like SDM, Cisco Configuration Professional assumes a general understanding of networking technologies and terms but assists individuals unfamiliar with the Cisco CLI. Over time Cisco Configuration Professional functionality will expand to include more voice features and other technologies.
