Kentrox Q2200 T1 QoS Access Router
Description
Combining the features of an IP router, QoS appliance, IPSec VPN appliance, firewall, T1 DSU/CSU, and Ethernet switch, the Q2200 QoS Access Router saves you money right out of the box. Setup and maintenance become far less time-consuming and expensive with an integrated device. And the Q2200 router's intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) helps remote offices get up and running quickly
Features
Simple, low-cost installation
Traditional routers, security devices, and network access equipment can be difficult to set up, and often require special training. That can be problematic for many branch offices and small businesses that are trying to reduce support costs or do not have on-site expertise.
The Kentrox Q2200 router is designed to simplify installation with its intuitive GUI, making it faster and easier for both network administrators and less experienced installers. Advanced feature configurations, such as VPN tunnels, firewall, and QoS policies, are also made simpler by the router's GUI.
The graphical user interface contains powerful tools to troubleshoot problems, run QoS reports, make configuration changes, set up traffic-shaping policies, or just check the health of the network. Accomplishing these tasks with command-line driven products can be difficult and time-consuming. Arranged logically and intuitively by function, the router's GUI is point-and-click easy.
To protect internal networks from outside intrusion, the router conceals LAN IP addresses using Network Address Translation (NAT). It also has an integrated Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) firewall. The router firewall includes Intrusion Detection System (IDS) capability, which identifies and blocks the most common attacks. Application Layer Gateways (ALGs) pass common traffic types while preventing unwanted traffic from entering the LAN.
With Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), you can take advantage of the cost savings associated with transmitting communications over IP services. The Q2200 secures up to 100 VPN tunnels with standards-based IPSec encryption (DES/3DES/AES) and authentication.
Its VPN support is designed for Virtual Private Networks Consortium interoperability and conformance. Dedicated hardware accelerates DES/3DES encryption to ensure full wire-speed performance.
Mission-critical applications and delay-sensitive traffic, such as VoIP and video, often suffer when competing with bursty Web traffic for WAN bandwidth. To ensure these applications get the necessary level of performance, the router provides Quality of Service (QoS) traffic shaping via industry-standard DiffServ queuing, supporting all six of the primary DiffServ QoS priority levels. QoS settings are even maintained through VPN tunnels. To prioritize traffic and generate traffic-specific reports, you can establish QoS policies by IP source and destination address, application and DiffServ class.
The Q2200's graphical reports let you monitor traffic performance at each established QoS priority level to see whether the critical traffic flows are getting the bandwidth they need. The report data helps you identify performance problems and modify your QoS policies appropriately. To reduce bandwidth pinches, for example, you would simply view the current and historical performance reports, and adjust QoS policies as necessary to provide the appropriate amount of bandwidth for high-priority applications.
The router also provides T1 circuit information to help you identify the source of performance degradation or a network outage. You can remotely determine port status, set loopbacks, view performance reports and change configuration -- all through the easy-to-use GUI or via command line using the optional dial-up modem.
