Functional Concepts Overview

The Avaya G700 Media Gateway and P330 switch can be stacked together to provide a comprehensive converged data and VoIP solution.

Small/Medium Business Connectivity Directly to a Service Provider

X330WAN enables SMEs to connect their LAN directly to an ISP, using a P330 switch. This solution provides independence and flexibility to the SMEs for data flow and other Internet services.

Functional Concepts Overview

Combining resources is an important component for success for today’s businesses. X330WAN supplies you with combined required access functionality for branch offices and SMEs. X330WAN includes all functions necessary for branch office and SME connectivity.

X330WAN is designed to incorporate the following concepts:

WAN access

Routing

Security

Convergence

WAN Access

WAN access enables data and VoIP transfer by providing a link for routing packets between the WAN and Ethernet/LAN interfaces. WAN access enables connecting branch offices to headquarters, and providing fast access to the Internet and e-mail. VoIP services are enhanced when X330WAN is combined with the Avaya G700 Media Gateway or to the Avaya DEFINITY® Communications Server.

Routing

The X330WAN access router modules provide routing capabilities to a P330 switch. X330WAN routes packets between the WAN and LAN interfaces in the access router module. X330WAN provides support for the major routing protocols, as well as a Layer 3/Layer 4 Policy classifier. The Policy classifier works per Layer 2 interface and per direction, controlling access and QoS (tagging and mapping to internal queuing mechanism). X330WAN independently controls the traffic flow in the P330 from the LAN to the WAN. For more information about these features, refer to Chapter 4: Operational Concepts and Configuration Examples.
