The NetVanta ®3430 is a modular access 
router that uses RapidRoute technology to 
deliver the high-packet throughput required 
for IP telephony, corporate connectivity, and 
Internet access. This performance-enhanced 
platform delivers wire-speed throughput, even 
with advanced services enabled like Quality of 
Service (QoS), NAT, firewall, and VPN.
Modular Hardware
The NetVanta 3430 is a modular, 1U-high, 
rackmountable metal chassis that offers two 
10/100Base-T Ethernet interfaces for WAN 
access LAN segmentation, DMZ, or even 
broadband backup. The single slot houses 
any of the NetVanta Series Network Interface 
Modules (NIMs) and Dial Backup Interface 
Modules (DIMs). For dial backup, an analog 
modem DIM or an ISDN BRI DIM is avail -
able, preventing downtime by dialing around a 
failed circuit to any PPP-compliant device. 
Standards Protocols
Complementing the versatile hardware, 
the AOS allows for the support of standards-
based switching, Virtual LAN (VLAN) tagging, 
static and default routes, and demand routing. 
This enables fast, accurate network conver -
gence using routing protocols such as BGP, 
OSPF, and RIP. In addition, the AOS terminates 
MPLS, Frame Relay, Multilink Frame Relay, 
PPP, Multilink PPP, and HDLC Wide Area 
Network (WAN) protocols. Multihoming is 
also available to provide redundant or backup 
WAN links to multiple ISPs, guaranteeing a 
wide-area connection.
QoS
QoS is also supported for delay-sensitive traffic 
like VoIP or video. To prioritize mission-critical 
traffic and control network congestion, the 
NetVanta 3430 uses Low Latency Queuing, 
Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ), Class-based 
WFQ, and DiffServ marking to establish the 
priority of IP packets routed over the WAN. 
NetVanta 3430
Modular Access Router VoIP Ready
In combination with the QoS features, a 
specialized SIP ALG allows SIP traffic to 
traverse NAT-enabled firewalls. For enterprise 
networks, 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. 
The NetVanta 3430 also deploys VQM to 
capture MOS, jitter, delay, and packet loss 
statistics necessary to troubleshoot VoIP calls 
over the WAN. This powerful, yet graphically 
intuitive, diagnostic tool allows for quick 
isolation of network issues to ensure 
superior call quality.
Security
The AOS provides a powerful, high perfor -
mance stateful inspection firewall that can 
identify and protect against common Denial 
of Service (DoS) attacks like TCP syn flooding, 
IP spoofing, ICMP redirect, ping of death, and 
IP reassembly problems. 
In addition, the AOS is capable of providing 
an inherent URL-filtering package without 
the use of an external server. URL-filtering is 
another level of security that allows system 
administrators to restrict Internet access by 
permitting or denying specific URLs. This 
URL filtering feature also includes the ability 
to produce top website reports of the most 
frequently requested websites, allowing 
system administrators to modify the URL 
filter lists.
The NetVanta 3430 also supports up to 500 
simultaneous IPSec VPN tunnels and encryp -
tion algorithms like DES, 3DES, and AES. By 
supporting IPSec, the NetVanta 3430 is fully 
compatible with other IPSec VPN-equipped 
NetVanta products.
Administration
The AOS offers both a CLI that mimics the 
widely deployed industry de facto standard 
and an intuitive Web-based GUI with step- 
by-step configuration wizards.
