NetVanta 1224STR DC
All-in-One Network Access: Modular WAN Interface, Firewall,
Ethernet Switch, IP Router, and Optional VPN
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. This series
includes the NetVanta 1224R, 1224STR, and
1224STR DC, 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 1224STR and STR DC provide 24-port
Ethernet and Fast Ethernet switching and a
1000Base-T/SFP Gigabit port for uplink or
stacking capability. The 1224STR DC is ideal for
carrier networks requiring +24/-48VDC power.
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 environments.
In addition the integral IP router provides cost-
effective Internet access, corporate 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) for
authentication with a RADIUS or RSA SecurID
server. 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, and
Weighted Fair Queuing 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 special-
ized SIP Application Layer Gateway (ALG)
allows SIP traffic to traverse NAT-enabled
firewalls. For an enterprise network, this inter-
operability allows IP PBXs, phones, and other
SIP-based devices to set up, tear down, and
pass voice and call control messages seamlessly
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 central-
ized enterprise-wide management scheme,
ADTRAN offers n-Command
, an intuitive,
scalable software suite for managing firmware
revisions, push firmware upgrades and
configuration changes, backup and restore
configurations, and manage security policies
and Access Control Lists (ACLs).
