As a multiservice access router, the
NetVanta®3448 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 3448 is a modular, 1U-high,
rackmountable metal chassis that offers a
single slot to house 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 available, preventing downtime
by dialing around a failed circuit to any PPP-
compliant device. The NetVanta 3448 also
includes two 10/100Base-T Ethernet interfaces
and a fully managed, non-blocking, eight-port
switch which can be separately powered
to yield an 802.3af-compliant PoE switch
delivering a full 15.4 watts per port.
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 3448 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.
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 3448 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 3448 also supports up to 500
simultaneous IPSec VPN tunnels and encryp-
tion algorithms like DES, 3DES, and AES. By
supporting IPSec, the NetVanta 3448 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.
