Quad-WAN Ports for Increased Reliability and Load Balancing
The VPN firewall provides four broadband WAN ports. These WAN ports allow you to
connect additional broadband Internet lines that can be configured to:
•Load-balance outbound traffic between up to four lines for maximum bandwidth
efficiency.
•Provide backup and rollover if one line is inoperable, ensuring that you are never
disconnected.
See Appendix B, Network Planning for Multiple WAN Ports (IPv4 Only) for the planning
factors to consider when implementing the following capabilities with multiple WAN port
gateways:
•Single or multiple exposed hosts.
•Virtual private networks (VPNs).
Advanced VPN Support for Both IPSec and SSL
The VPN firewall supports IPSec and SSL virtual private network (VPN) connections:
•IPSec VPN delivers full network access between a central office and branch offices, or
between a central office and telecommuters. Remote access by telecommuters requires
the installation of VPN client software on the remote computer.
-IPSec VPN with broad protocol support for secure connection to other IPSec
gateways and clients.
-Up to 125 simultaneous IPSec VPN connections.
-Bundled with a 30-day trial license for the ProSafe VPN Client software (VPN01L).
•SSL VPN provides remote access for mobile users to selected corporate resources
without requiring a preinstalled VPN client on their computers.
-Uses the familiar Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol, commonly used for
e-commerce transactions, to provide client-free access with customizable user
portals and support for a wide variety of user repositories.
-Up to 50 simultaneous SSL VPN connections.
