Robust, Easy-to-Use Management
The RouteFinder security appliance includes robust management support allowing
a network administrator to securely manage the devices either through a web
browser or at the command line. The browser-based option uses the HTTP or HTTPS
protocol, also known as SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), to provide 128-bit encryption
to secure the management session. The command line interface is accessible via
SSH (Secure Shell) and supports SCP (Secure Copy).
User Authentication
To increase the level of security, user identity can be verified before access to Internet
services is permitted. The RouteFinder security appliance supports authentication
at a local user database as well as at external user databases, like Windows 2000
or Radius server.
Automatic Dial Backup
The RouteFinder security appliance provides a serial port that, when connected
to a dial-up modem or ISDN terminal adaptor, can serve as a backup resource
for Internet access and VPN tunneling if your cable or DSL service goes down.
In addition, the RouteFinder RF860 model includes a built-in modem.
QoS/Bandwidth Allocation
Enabling QoS on the RouteFinder security appliances allows administrators to
customize upstream and downstream bandwidth allocation. Custom priority
rules allow administrators to assign a percentage of available bandwidth based
on the packet's protocol. These packet filter rules help mold traffic and set
preferential treatment for certain services or host IPs.
Dual WAN Load Balancing, Internet and VPN Failover
The DMZ port, on the RouteFinder security appliance, can also function as a second
WAN port for Internet access. This allows for two separate ISP connections giving
administrators the ability to balance traffic by distributing it over the two links. In
addition, if one port were to go down, the RouteFinder security appliance would
automatically re-route all Internet and VPN traffic to the other connection. The
second WAN port greatly enhances performance and system uptime.
High Availability
Redundancy is the primary method of increasing any systems' availability. To achieve
high availability, the RouteFinder security appliance utilizes a clustering solution,
where two RouteFinder appliances act in conjunction with each other with one
appliance acting as the main system providing the services and the other acting
as a standby system. If the main system were to go down, it would automatically
failover to the standby system to provide continuous availability without an
interruption of service
RouteFinder SOHO
The RouteFinder SOHO security appliance is ideal
for the small branch office or telecommuter who
needs secure access to the corporate LAN. In addition to
providing one or two WAN Ethernet port(s) for DSL or cable broadband Internet
access, it also offers both client-to-LAN and LAN-to-LAN VPN connectivity based
on the IPSec or PPTP protocols. The RouteFinder SOHO security appliance provides
3DES and AES encryption to ensure that your information remains private.
