1.1 Brief Introduction

H3C SecPath V1000-A Security Gateway (referred to as the security gateway
throughout the manual) is new-generation network security device intended for the use
on enterprise networks. It can act as the core security gateway for small-and
medium-sized enterprises or the convergence and network access gateway for large
enterprises.
H3C SecPath V1000-A Security Gateway (the SecPath V1000-A) provides:
Two fixed 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-sensing Ethernet interfaces that can be optical
or electrical
One multifunctional interface module (MIM) extended slot, which can hold
1FE/2FE/1GBE/2GBE
Dual-power redundancy (AC+AC)
Temperature sensing inside the chassis
Network management
With the support to hot-swappable modules, power redundancy and temperature
monitor, the SecPath V1000-A can deliver carrier-level reliability.
The security gateway supports multiple Virtual Private Network (VPN) services, such
as Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) VPN, IP Security (IPsec) VPN, Generic Routing
Encapsulation (GRE) VPN, and Dynamic VPN. It can connect to remote users through
dial-up, leased line, VLAN or tunnel, thus building VPNs in the form of internet, intranet,
or access network. The security gateway brings together the technologies of firewall,
AAA, Network Address Translation (NAT), and Quality of Service (QoS) to provide a
safe and reliable private network over the insecure Internet.
The SecPath V1000-A has the following features:
I. IP VPN solution
Networks benefit enterprises in many ways; one of them is that a company
headquarters can release important information to its branch offices quickly and
conveniently. To interconnect the networks of a company over the Internet, however,
you need VPN technologies. The SecPath V1000-A provides abundant IP VPN
services; among them, L2TP and GRE provide layer 2 and layer 3 tunnels, and IPsec
provides tunnels encapsulated with a security protocol to have a securer network.
The SecPath V1000-A has powerful tunneling capabilities, supporting up to 10000
connections in parallel and with an encryption speed of 250 Mbps.
