NetVanta 3200
Modular Access Router Supporting up to an E1 of Bandwidth
The NetVanta 3000 Series of modular access
routers is designed for cost-effective Internet
access, corporate Frame Relay, point-to-point
connectivity, ADSL, and VPN. The NetVanta
3000 Series currently consists of the NetVanta
3200, 3205, and 3305 with a variety of inter-
changeable NIMs and DIMs.
Modular Hardware
The NetVanta 3200 is a single-slot, single-
Ethernet standalone unit in a plastic housing.
A single slot within any of the NetVanta 3000
Series will house a variety of NIMs and DIMs,
which include an E1/FE1, E1/FE1 with G.703,
ADSL, SHDSL, Serial, T1/FT1, T1/FT1 with
DSX-1, Dual T1s, or a 56/64k interface.
For dial backup, an ISDN BRI U-Interface
DIM or an S/T-Interface DIM is available
for preventing downtime by dialing around
a failed circuit to any PPP-compliant device.
Standards Protocols
The versatile hardware platform of the
NetVanta 3200 is further complemented
with the AOS. The AOS allows for the support of
static and default routes, demand routing, and
allows for fast, accurate network convergence
using routing protocols such as BGP, OSPF, and
RIP. In addition, the AOS terminates Frame
Relay, Multilink Frame Relay, PPP, Multilink PPP,
and HDLC WAN protocols. Multihoming is
also available to provide redundant or backup
Wide Area Network (WAN) links to multiple
ISPs, guaranteeing a wide-area connection.
Security
For added security, the AOS provides a
powerful, high performance stateful inspec-
tion firewall. It will examine all incoming and
outgoing packets against the security policies
established by the IT manager. In addition,
the firewall can identify and protect against
common Denial of Service (DoS) attacks like
TCP syn flooding, IP spoofing, ICMP redirect,
ping-of-death, and IP reassembly problems.
With the AOS Enhanced Feature Pack Upgrade,
the NetVanta 3000 Series adds the support
for IPSec-compliant VPN. The NetVanta 3200
supports up to five simultaneous VPN tunnels,
while supporting encryption algorithms like
DES, 3DES, and AES. With this upgrade, the
NetVanta 3200 is fully compatible with other
IPSec VPN-equipped NetVanta products.
QoS
QoS is also supported for delay-sensitive
traffic like VoIP or video. To prioritize mission-
critical traffic and control network congestion,
the NetVanta 3200 uses Low Latency Queuing,
Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ), Class-based
WFQ, and DiffServ marking to establish
priority of IP packets routed over the WAN.
VoIP Ready
In combination with the QoS features, a
specialized Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
Application Layer Gateway (ALG) allows SIP
traffic to traverse Network Access Translation
(NAT)-enabled firewalls. For an enterprise
network, this interoperability allows IP PBXs,
phones, and other SIP-based devices to set
up, tear down, and pass voice and call control
messages seamlessly through the integral
NAT-enabled firewall.
Administration
AOS offers a standard CLI that mimics the
widely adopted, industry de facto standard.
The sequence of commands required to
configure similar devices is almost identical,
eliminating training costs typically associated
with learning a new operating system
or obtaining costly industry certifications.
The CLI also allows for configuration scripts
to be used, saved, and downloaded for a
quick-and-easy recovery mechanism. In
addition, an intuitive GUI provides step-
by-step configuration wizards, management
capability, and the ability to upload
firmware updates.
ADTRAN, the leader in WAN connectivity,
offers reliable equipment that increases
network performance, lowers cost, and
positions networks for the future. In
addition, these products are backed by
an industry-leading warranty, free firmware
downloads, and world-class technical
support from ADTRAN.
