Did anyone use the centralized management station (ConfigMaker) of Cisco? Can
the router be managed securly from an un-trusted network with the management
station? Do you need to work from the console on the management station or can
this be done remotely? How does Context-based access control compare to
statefull inspection? Did anyone try out any of the DoS defenses, where alarms
generated? 

Any experiences appreciated!
