Model 2884 Features

2/4 port Channelized T1/E1--Support up to 124 PPP sessions with up to 4 channelized T1/E1 ports.

ML-PPP Expands Bandwidth--Bind any number of channels or T1/E1 ports to create up to an 8Mbps WAN link.

Dual Gigabit Ethernet Ports--With Dual 10/100/1000, auto-MDI ports easily connect to any LAN infra- structure.

Per Flow QoS--Traffic rates are set through ACLs that shape and police VLAN and IP traffic.

Stateful Firewall Inspection--Stateful firewall inspection is accomplished through ACLs that filter by source and destination IP address, IP port and protocol.

Layer 2/3 Traffic Filtering--Assign an ACL to any interface and filter an IP port, VLAN ID or priority bits, and MAC addresses.

VLAN Tagging--VLAN tagging and processing is configurable on any T1/E1 channel or Ethernet port.

Easy Management--Easily manage the 2884 router via an HTTP/web interface, a CLI accessible via the VT100 console or through Telnet/SSH, via SNMP, or via CORBA.

Model 2888 Features

2/4-port T1/E1 Inverse Mux--Using ML-PPP bond from 2-4 T1/E1 ports to create a high bandwidth WAN link over TDM.

ML-PPP Expands Bandwidth--Bind any number of channels or T1/E1 ports to create up to an 8Mbps WAN link.

Dual Gigabit Ethernet Ports--With Dual 10/100/1000, auto-MDI ports easily connect to any LAN infra- structure.

End-to-endQoS--Inspect, set and preserve VLAN priority to effect end-to-end QoS for traffic flowing through the Mux.

VLAN Trunk Extension--Tag untagged traffic, preserve VLAN QoS, or simply transparently forward VLAN traffic.

VLAN Tagging--VLAN tagging and processing is configurable on any T1/E1 channel or Ethernet port.
