management, monitoring, and high-availability traffic.
For flash-based appliances, you can purchase optional 2.5-inch hard-disk drives to use for
logging.
The IP560 security platform is designed to meet other mid- to high-end availability
requirements, including port density for connections to redundant internal, external, DMZ, and
management networks. In addition, the IP560 security platform provides N + 1 cooling.
As a network device, the IP560 security platform supports a comprehensive suite of IP-routing
functions and protocols.
The integrated router functionality eliminates the need for separate intranet and access routers in
security applications.

Managing the Nokia IP560 Security Platform

You can manage the IP560 security platform by using the following interfaces:
Nokia Network Voyager—an SSL-secured, Web-based element management interface to
Nokia IP security platforms. Network Voyager is preinstalled on the IP560 security platform
and enabled through the IPSO operating system. With Network Voyager, you can manage,
monitor, and configure the IP560 security platform from any authorized location within the
network by using a standard Web browser. Use one of the four Ethernet ports to access the
Network Voyager interface.
