NetVanta 3430

Modular Access Router

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 convergence 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 avail-
able to provide redundant or backup WAN
links to multiple ISPs, guaranteeing a
wide-area connection.

QoS
QoS is also supported for delay-sensi-
tive 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.

VoIP Ready
In combination with the QoS features, a
specialized SIP ALG allows SIP traffic to
traverse NAT-enabled firewalls. For enter-
prise 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
encryption 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.
