The NetVanta® 1000 Series from ADTRAN® is a standards-based, non-blocking Layer 2 switching solution available at a cost up to 50 percent less than competing switches.
These devices are suitable for converged LAN/ WAN access, interconnecting LAN devices, or for network segmentation. The NetVanta 1224R and 1224STR are unique, all-in-one access plat- forms that combine a 24 port Ethernet switch, an IP access router, a modular WAN interface with built-in DSU/CSU, a stateful inspection firewall, and the option for Virtual Private Networking (VPN), all in a single 1U chassis. The 1224R and STR provide 24-port Ethernet and Fast Ethernet switching, with the STR offering an extra 1000Base-T/SFP Gigabit port for uplink or stacking capability.
Modular Hardware
A single WAN access slot in the back of the NetVanta chassis supports a variety of Network Interface Modules (NIMs) including ADSL, 56/64k, T1/FT1, T1/FT1 with DSX-1, E1/FE1, E1/FE1 with G.703, Dual T1, or a serial interface. The optional Analog or ISDN BRI Dial Backup Modules (DIMs) support a solid business conti- nuity plan by dialing around a failed circuit to any PPP-compliant device. The ADSL NIM may also be used for broadband backup, allowing for larger bandwidth applications and faster data rates.
Standard-based Protocols
Based on the ADTRAN Operating System (AOS), these devices offer support for 802.1Q Virtual LANs (VLANs), Port-based switching features include Broadcast Storm Control, 802.1D and 802.1w Spanning/Rapid Spanning Tree, Link Aggregation, Port Mirroring, and GVRP. Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) auto-discovers neighboring Ethernet devices, simplifying integration into multi-vendor envi- ronments. In addition the integral IP router provides cost-effective Internet access, corpo- rate Frame Relay or point-to-point connectivity using standard routing protocols such as BGP, OSPF and RIP.
Security
Rest assured, with the NetVanta 1224R and STR your network is protected. Each platform comes standard with a stateful inspection firewall to
stop intruders and common Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. These products also offer a variety of data security features including MAC-based port security, multilevel user pass- words, Secure Shell (SSH) and Secure Socket Layer (SSL) for encrypted user login, and Access Authentication and Authorization (AAA) with RADIUS, RSA SecurID or TACACS+. For added security, these platforms offer a VPN upgrade supporting up to 500 IPSec tunnels using DES, 3DES or AES encryption.
Quality of Service (QoS)
These switch-routers support QoS to prioritize mission critical traffic and control network congestion at various layers of the OSI model. Ont the LAN, the NetVanta 1000 Series offers 802.1p and DiffServ Class of Service (CoS).
To assign priority to traffic, Weighted Round Robin and Strict Priority Queuing is used with four egress queues per port. For the WAN, DiffServ marking, Low Latency Queuing, Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ), and Class- based WFQ provide priority for IP packets routed over the WAN. Together these features offer a powerful end-to-end QoS story.
VoIP Ready
In combination with the QoS features, a specialized SIP Application Layer Gateway (ALG) allows SIP traffic to traverse 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 seam- lessly through the integral NAT-enabled firewall.
Administration
The AOS offers both a Command Line Interface (CLI) that mimics the widely deployed, industry de facto standard and an intuitive web-based GUI with step-by-step configuration wizards. Together these interfaces allow you to admin- ister and control your network in the best method that meets your needs. For a centralized enterprise-wide management scheme, ADTRAN offers n-Command®, an intuitive, scalable soft- ware suite for managing firmware revisions, push firmware upgrades and configuration changes, backup and restore configurations, and manage security policies and Access Control Lists (ACLs).
