Security Features

Introduction

Security Features

•Password - protected Configuration. Optional password protection is provided to prevent unauthorized users from modifying the configuration data and settings.

•NAT Protection. An intrinsic side effect of NAT (Network Address Translation) technology is that by allowing all LAN users to share a single IP address, the location and even the existence of each PC is hidden. From the external viewpoint, there is no network, only a single device - the Broadband VPN Gateway.

•NATT (NAT-Traversal).NAT Traversal is a method to allow IPSec to work through NAT devices. It is encapsulating IPsec ESP packets into UDP packets for passing through routers or firewalls employing Network Address Translation (NAT).

•Stateful Inspection Firewall. All incoming data packets are monitored and all incoming server requests are filtered, thus protecting your network from malicious attacks from external sources.

•IP/MAC Binding. Users cannot change the IP address unless they have the permission of the IT manager.

•Protection against DoS attacks. DoS (Denial of Service) attacks can flood your Internet connection with invalid packets and connection requests, using so much bandwidth and so many resources that Internet access becomes unavailable. The Broadband VPN Gateway incorporates protection against DoS attacks.

•Rule-based Policy Firewall. To provide additional protection against malicious packets, you can define your own firewall rules. This can also be used to control the Internet services available to LAN users.

IPSec VPN Gateway Features

•IPSec. Support for IPSec standards, including IKE and certificates.

•100 Tunnels. Up to 100 VPN tunnels can be created.

•High performance. High performance encryption engine maintains high throughput even when using 3DES.

•DPD Support Dead Peer Detection is a method of detecting a dead Internet Key Exchange (IKE) peer. The method uses IPSec traffic patterns to minimize the number of messages required to confirm the liveness of a peer. DPD is used to reclaim the lost re- sources in case a peer is found dead.

Microsoft VPN Gateway Support

•PPTP Server. The Broadband VPN Gateway emulates a Microsoft PPTP VPN Server, allowing clients to use the Microsoft VPN client provided in Windows.

•Windows Client Support. Remote users can use the Microsoft VPN client (VPN Adapter) provided in recent versions of Windows.

•Easy Setup. For both the Administrator and remote users, the Microsoft VPN is much easier to configure than IPSec VPN.

TW100-BRV324 specifications

The TRENDnet TW100-BRV324 is a versatile broadband router designed to provide small to medium-sized businesses with reliable networking capabilities. One of its key features is its built-in firewall security, which ensures robust protection against unauthorized access and threats from the internet. This appliance uses Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI), providing a comprehensive barrier against a variety of cyber threats.

Equipped with a DHCP server, the TW100-BRV324 simplifies IP address assignment, allowing administrators to manage network resources efficiently. The device supports both DHCP and static IP configurations, making it flexible for various network setups. Additionally, it offers VPN pass-through capabilities, allowing secure remote access for users needing to connect to the corporate network from outside.

The TW100-BRV324 is noted for its impressive NAT (Network Address Translation) capabilities, which enable multiple devices on a local network to access the internet through a single public IP address. This feature is particularly beneficial in saving costs related to IP addresses while enhancing network management. Furthermore, it boasts an integrated 4-port switch, facilitating wired connections for several devices in a local area network (LAN).

In terms of connectivity, the router supports 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, providing sufficient bandwidth for most small business applications. The device is also easy to set up, thanks to its user-friendly web-based interface, which guides users through the configuration process. This simplicity makes it suitable for individuals with varying levels of networking expertise.

The TW100-BRV324 supports multiple connection types, including DSL and cable internet, ensuring compatibility with various ISPs. Additionally, it embeds Quality of Service (QoS) features, allowing network administrators to prioritize traffic. This is crucial for ensuring that bandwidth-intensive applications, such as video conferencing and VoIP, receive the necessary resources for optimal performance.

In summary, the TRENDnet TW100-BRV324 is a robust and feature-rich router well-suited for small to medium-sized businesses. With its combination of security features, flexible configurations, and user-friendly management tools, it offers a powerful solution for those seeking reliable network performance without the need for extensive technical knowledge.
