You can add additional interfaces to these routers by installing a Port Interface
Card (PIC) in the PIC bay.
The AR450S base unit supports:
■
five 10/100 Mbps full duplex switched Ethernet LAN ports.
■
two 10/100 Mbps full duplex Ethernet WAN port
■
two asynchronous serial ports
■
one built-in encryption processor
The software support for the AR400 Series router and the expansion options
provides wirespeed Layer 2 switching, including support for Virtual LANs. In
addition, the router provides a wide array of multiprotocol routing, security
and network management features.

Management Features

The following features enhance management of the router:
■
A sophisticated and configurable event logging facility for monitoring and
alarm notification to single or multiple management centres.
■
Triggers for automatic and timed execution of commands in response to
events.
■
Scripting for automated configuration and centralised management of
configurations.
■
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) for IP and IPv6. DHCP lets
you automatically assign IP addresses and other configuration information
to PCs and other hosts on TCP/IP networks.
■
Support for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), standard
MIBs and the Allied Telesyn Enterprise MIB, enabling the router to be
managed by a separate SNMP management station.
■
Telnet client and server.
■
Secure Shell remote management.
■
An HTTP client that allows the direct download of files from a web server
to the router's FLASH memory.
For complete descriptions of these software features, see the Software Reference.

Layer 3 and Other Features

AR400 Series routers provide efficient and cost-effective multiprotocol routing,
terminal serving and integrated network management over wide area
networks and LANs. The router can provide multiple functions
simultaneously. Different models run different software suites, and the
available functionality depends on the model and hardware configuration:
■
Wide area networking via Point-to-Point Protocol.
■
Wide area networking via Frame Relay, and X.25, operating over
synchronous links up to 2Mb/s (models with a PIC bay).
■
Basic Rate and Primary Rate access to Integrated Services Digital Network
(ISDN) services, with dial-on-demand and channel aggregation (models
with a PIC bay).
