Managed Service Providers
For service providers, these new routers
revolutionize the traditional business model
for DSL value-added services by making it
possible to deploy intelligent DSL customer
premise equipment in a constantly changing
environment. Because 3Com routers offer the
same user interface, staff learning curves are
minimal, which expedites deployments and
maximizes revenue streams.
When it comes to management and remote
provisioning, the Router 3000 DSL family
continues 3Com's tradition of simplicity and
ease-of-use. The routers lower the total cost
of ownership and expedite service delivery
by providing service providers with the
necessary tools required to minimize truck
rolls and installation and maintenance time,
sustaining a high quality of service for
customers. Configuration and deployment is
available locally or remotely via a Telnet,
Rlogin or Secure Shell protocol to the router.
When managed with 3Com Network
Director, bulk-updating of remote router
code, configuration backup, auto-trap setup,
and historical reporting are all just a mouse
click away. Advanced remote diagnostics are
accomplished using the embedded diagnostic
tools to quickly isolate problem conditions.
For service providers provisioning service
level agreements, models available with ISDN
backup can offer a resilient solution for
customers requiring the benefits of broadband
with the security of a fail-safe and always-on
connection.
Enterprise-Class Features
The 3Com Router 3000 family supports
enterprise-level routing with:
• Standards-based interoperability
• Advanced security and control
• Voice and data integration
• Easy deployment and management
• World-class service, support and training
Standards-Based and Interoperable
3Com routers can be confidently used in a
mixed-vendor network, as they have been
designed to be standards-compliant and
interoperable.
Advanced Security and Control
Operating across a broadband internet
connection opens up the network to potential
security breaches. However, by deploying a
solution that is broadband Internet aware,
businesses can take advantage of this low-cost,
yet high-speed, business tool.
The 3Com Router 3000 DSL family helps
secure and safeguard sensitive client and
company information against unauthorized
access by incorporating 3Com's layered
approach to security.
These security and control features include:
AAA, RADIUS authentication support,
stateful packet inspection firewall, denial of
service blocking (DoS), Access Control Lists
(ACLs), and others. L2TP and IPSec VPNs,
with 3DES and AES encryption, further help
provide secure networks.
The embedded stateful packet inspection
firewall also includes support for ACLs,
GRE (generic routing encapsulation), NAT
(network address translation), NAT traversal
and application layer gateways, allowing
mission-critical business applications to
operate through the firewall and across
the VPN.
Voice and Data Integration
The Router 3000 DSL family delivers advanced
Quality of Service (QoS), including DiffServ
support for traffic management capabilities.
Utilizing IP differentiated services for
applications and ATM QoS for traffic and
physical layer prioritization, the routers are
equipped to handle the most demanding voice
and data networking, helping assure the level
of service required for business operations.
Bundled with IEEE 802.1p prioritization
and IEEE 802.1Q VLAN support, the routers
help provide the service levels required to
maintain expected quality and productivity;
for example, just the right bandwidth and
frame latency for delay-sensitive traffic and
applications such as voice over IP or video.
This allows the network to effectively
expedite application and data delivery—
even during times of heavy network use.
