NetV anta1224STR
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. The
NetVanta 1224STR is a unique, all-in-one
access platform that combines a 24-port
Ethernet switch, an IP access router, a modular
WAN interface with built-in NTU, a stateful
inspection firewall, and the option for Virtual
Private Networking (VPN), all in a single
1U chassis. The NetVanta 1224STR provides
24-port Ethernet, Fast Ethernet switching,
and 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 E1/FE1, E1/
FE1 with G.703, ADSL, SHDSL, Serial, T1/FT1,
T1/FT1 with DSX-1, Dual T1, or a 56/64K
interface. The optional Analog or ISDN BRI
Dial Backup Modules (DIMs) support a solid
business continuity 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 applica-
tions 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 1224STR your
network is protected. It comes standard with
a stateful inspection firewall to stop intruders
and common Denial of Service (DoS) attacks.
NetVanta 1224STR also offers a variety of data
security features including MAC-based port
security, multilevel user passwords, 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, it offers a VPN upgrade
supporting up to 500 IPSec tunnels using
DES, 3DES, or AES encryption.
Quality of Service (QoS)
This switch-router supports QoS to prioritize
mission critical traffic and control network
congestion at various layers of the OSI model.
On 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 provides 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 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.
For a centralized enterprise-wide manage-
ment 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).
