The NetVanta®5305 is an access router
designed for cost-effective Internet access,
corporate Frame Relay, point-to-point
connectivity, and VPN for large-bandwidth
applications supporting T3 networks.
Modular Hardware
Residing in a 3U high, 19” rackmountable
metal enclosure, the NetVanta 5305 is a single
platform that offers six interface slots and dual
10/100Base-T Ethernet LAN ports for true LAN
segmentation or DMZ applications. A single
slot within the NetVanta 5305 will house an
Unchannelized T3, Octal T1/E1, or HSSI
Wide Module.
Standard Protocols
The versatile hardware platform of the
NetVanta 5305 is further complemented by
the AOS. The AOS allows for the support of
static and default routes, demand and policy-
based routing, and allows for fast, accurate
network convergence using routing protocols
such as BGP, OSPF, RIP, and PIM Sparce Mode
for multicast routing. In addition, the AOS
terminates MPLS, Frame Relay, Multilink
Frame Relay, PPP, Multilink PPP, PPPoE,
PPPoA, RFC 1483, 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 5305 uses Low Latency Queuing,
Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ), Class-based
WFQ, and DiffServ marking to establish priority
of IP packets routed over the WAN.
VoIP Ready
In combination with the QoS features, a
specialized Session Initiation Protocol (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.
The NetVanta 5305 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
For added security, the AOS provides a powerful,
high-performance stateful inspection firewall.
The firewall 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 5305 also adds the support
for IPSec-compliant VPN. The NetVanta 5305
supports up to 2,000 simultaneous VPN tunnels,
while also supporting encryption algorithms
like DES, 3DES, and AES. With this upgrade,
the NetVanta 5305 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.
