Kentrox Q2200 QoS Access Router
For Ethernet / DSL / Cable services
Product Description
The Q2300 router makes low-cost broadband services
practical for business. Until now, business-class routers have been
expensive and overly complex to set up and use, while consumer level
DSL and cable-modem routers have lacked business-quality monitoring,
control, and security capabilities. The Q2300 router changes all this
by combining the features of an IP router, QoS appliance, IPSec
VPN appliance, firewall, and Ethernet switch into one easy-to-use
network access device.
Simple, low-cost installation
Traditional routers, security devices, and network access equipment
can be difficult to set up, and often require special training. That can
be problematic for many branch offices and small businesses that are
trying to reduce support costs or do not have on-site expertise.
The Kentrox Q2300 router is designed to simplify installation with
its intuitive GUI, making it faster and easier for both network
administrators and less experienced installers. Advanced feature
configurations, such as VPN tunnels, firewall, and QoS policies, are
also made simpler by the router’s GUI.
Embedded, Web-style GUI simplifies management
The graphical user interface contains powerful tools to
troubleshoot problems, run QoS reports, make configuration
changes, set up traffic-shaping policies, or just
check the health of the network. Accomplishing these
tasks with command-line driven products can be difficult
and time-consuming. Arranged logically and intuitively by
function, the router's GUI is point-and-click easy.
Protect internal system from intrusion
To protect internal networks from outside intrusion, the
router conceals LAN IP addresses using Network Address
Translation (NAT). It also has an integrated Stateful Packet
Inspection (SPI) firewall. The router firewall includes
Intrusion Detection System (IDS) capability, which identifies
and blocks common attacks. Application Layer Gateways
(ALGs) pass common traffic types while preventing
unwanted traffic from entering the LAN.
VPN support
With Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), you can take
advantage of the cost savings associated with transmitting
communications over IP services. The Q2300 secures up
to 100 VPN tunnels with standards-based IPSec
encryption (DES/3DES/AES) and authentication.
Its VPN support is designed for Virtual Private Networks
Consortium interoperability and conformance. Dedicated
hardware accelerates DES/3DES encryption to ensure full
wire-speed performance.
Deliver quality performance for critical business applications
Mission-critical applications and delay-sensitive traffic,
such as VoIP and video, often suffer when competing
with bursty Web traffic for WAN bandwidth. To ensure
these applications get the necessary level of performance,
the router provides Quality of Service (QoS) traffic shaping
via industry-standard DiffServ queuing, supporting
all six of the primary DiffServ QoS priority levels. QoS settings are even maintained through VPN tunnels. To
prioritize traffic and generate traffic-specific reports, you
can establish QoS policies by IP source and destination
address, application and DiffServ class.
Fine-tune network performance with QoS monitoring and reports
The Q2300's graphical reports let you monitor traffic
performance at each established QoS priority level to see
whether the critical traffic flows are getting the bandwidth
they need. The report data helps you identify performance
problems and modify your QoS policies appropriately.
To reduce bandwidth pinches, for example, you would
simply view the current and historical performance
reports, and adjust QoS policies as necessary to provide
the appropriate amount of bandwidth for high-priority
applications.
