NETBuilder II

®

Intelligent Routers

Scalability, high bandwidth, and port capacity for today’s mission-critical networks

NETBuilder II routers provide high performance, network availability, and scalable growth, along with VPN tunneling and security applications to build secure remote access, intranets, and extranets. The platforms offer flexibility with 4-slot, 8-slot, and 8-slot extended chassis that all accept regular and extended format modules

Key Benefits:

High performance.

Multiprocessing architecture in the Dual-Processor Engine (DPE)

plus module provides added intelligence by offloading the

WAN grooming tasks to the coprocessor, and adds control over the WAN links without compromising packet-processing performance.

Hardware and software resiliency for high availability.

Dual power supplies, hot swap, hot plug and play, and dual PC

Card slots provide the flexibility and reliability needed for mission-critical environments, and disaster recovery features provide quick network recovery, reducing costly downtime.

Proven scalability.

Boundary Routing ® architecture provides a simple mechanism for network growth.

Legacy support.

The comprehensive suite of protocols to support IBM customers includes DLSw

Version 2, APPN/HPR, SDLC, and BSC.

Low cost of ownership.

WAN grooming, which includes compression, lowers your WAN service cost, and VPN technology lets you set up a cost-saving public IP-based intranet/extranet infrastructure.

3Com’s powerful NETBuilder II

®

routers combine leading-edge technology with a flexible, modular design to satisfy your internetworking needs today and in the future. The routers integrate both

WAN (Frame Relay, ISDN, leased lines, and ATM) and LAN

(Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Token

Ring, FDDI, and ATM) technologies, delivering the most effective solution for LAN/WAN bandwidth mismatch. The platforms support virtual private network (VPN) applications for secure remote access and intranet/extranet connectivity.

NETBuilder

®

feature-rich software provides the flexibility and intelligence required to meet today’s rapidly changing internetworking requirements. It delivers a full set of protocols, including IP, IPX,

AppleTalk, SNA, Vines, and

DECnet. In addition, the valueadded functions such as compression, encryption, prioritization, and disaster recovery provide the most efficient options to maximize the utilization of WAN connectivity.

With its selection of chassis sizes, hot-swappable interface modules, full-featured software packages, and management facilities, the

NETBuilder II router provides unsurpassed WAN value.

Extending Network Reach with 3Com’s

Boundary Routing System Architecture

3Com’s Boundary Routing ® system architecture lets you add remote sites to your network without adding complexity or administrative costs.

The system works in small to midsize remote offices having one LAN segment and one active WAN connection to a main site. Boundary Routing architecture delivers complete routing functionality to each remote location, easily and affordably. Installing a router at the remote site becomes a plug-and-play operation. Software updates and configuration changes are handled transparently over the WAN by a NETBuilder II ® router or any other central-site capable NETBuilder ® routing platform at the main site. Centrally located administrators manage the routing complexity for many remote sites.

Included in the Boundary Routing solution are the

SNA boundary routers. These routers provide the same functionality as the other boundary routers, but have been optimized for SNA traffic. The routing architecture automatically prioritizes SNA traffic over other protocol traffic providing predictable SNA performance.

With its cost-saving and time-reducing benefits,

Boundary Routing architecture is the ideal choice for leveraging administrative expertise in growing organizations.

Data Compression

3Com’s history-based or perpacket link compression reduces the size of both headers and data in packets sent over serial lines, letting the lines carry two to four times as much traffic at no additional charge. With the

DPE, the second processor is dedicated to data compression leaving the main processor to do packet processing.
