The NetVanta Solution

ADTRAN's NetVanta 2000 Series of virtual private network (VPN) products includes small- to mid-range
IP Security (IPSec) compliant gateways providing all the necessary components required to secure an
integrated VPN solution. With their built-in stateful inspection firewalls, these components protect the
corporate network against attack and provide data security through encryption, authentication, and key
exchange. Table 1 describes the primary uses of the NetVanta 2000 Series.
NetVanta Unit
2050, 2054, 2100 For remote access and site-to-multisite connectivity. Targets the corporate branch
office, the small office/home office (SOHO), and business-to-business application.
2300, 2400 For branch office or mid-sized host security gateway. Provides features similar to
the NetVanta 2100, but with more bandwidth and additional private ports that can
be used for securing multiple LANs.
In this document, the term "NetVanta 2000 Series" means the NetVanta 2050,
NetVanta 2054, NetVanta 2100, NetVanta 2300, and NetVanta 2400. If a statement only
applies to one particular device, the text refers to the device individually.

Security

The NetVanta 2000 Series provides key security and data management features such as IPSec VPN
tunneling, stateful inspection firewall (providing cyber assault protection), authenticated remote user
access, and Network Address Translation (NAT). Adherence to IPSec standards (established and
maintained by the IETF) makes the NetVanta 2000 Series interoperable with many other IPSec-compliant
gateways, allowing for a multivendor VPN solution.

Protection Against Attacks

The NetVanta 2000 Series protects the corporate network against attacks with a built-in firewall and
provides data security through encryption, authentication, and key exchange. The NetVanta 2000 Series
employs a stateful inspection firewall that protects an organization's network from common cyber attacks
including TCP syn-flooding, IP spoofing, ICMP redirect, land attacks, ping-of-death, and IP reassembly
problems.
