1Introduction
The LANCOM 9100 VPN is a high-performance central-site VPN gateway that
supports 200 VPN connections. With the LANCOM VPN Option, it provides
VPN connections for up to 1000 sites. Quality-of-Service, dynamic bandwidth
management and the four Gigabit-Ethernet slots ensure that data is correctly
prioritized in the network and that speeds are maximized. Various connection
possibilities including ISDN, WAN and the USB 2.0 host port facilitate its inte-
gration into the network. Practical: Various information on the device is per-
manently displayed, including temperature, CPU load, and active VPNs. The
fan's function is permanently monitored by LED and, additionally, an acoustic
signal is emitted should the CPU overheat.
The integrated firewall with security functions such as stateful inspection,
intrusion detection and denial-of-service protection is supplemented by
dynamic bandwidth management and comprehensive backup, high-
availability and redundancy functions over ISDN and VRRP.
IPSec-based VPN provides optimal security for connecting branch offices and
home offices thanks to the high-security 3-DES or AES encryption, integrated
hardware acceleration, and support of digital certificates.
The versatile functions for address translation and routing allow different net-
works to be connected over common infrastructure. The LANCOM Advanced
Routing and Forwarding concept ensures that professional network virtuali-
zation is no longer a problem: Existing networks at partner companies, branch
offices, or home-office workstations can be integrated into the VPN without
problem.
