The SuperStack II NETBuilder SI

5xx series (upper device pictured) and 4xx series (lower device pictured) routers deliver today’s best overall WAN value with all the features and functionality you need for secure VPNs and an affordable, complete remote office solution.

Key Benefits

Security. An easy-to-use ICSAcertified firewall and NAT provide robust security.

VPN ready. Equipped to set up a

VPN for secure connectivity over the Internet, the platforms support industry-standard tunneling protocols and encryption.

Easy installation. 3Com’s unique

Boundary Routing ® architecture,

Autostartup, and Web Link, the embedded Web-based configuration and management tool, provide simple plug-and-play installation for remote offices.

Cost effective. Full-featured yet affordable, the routers optimize

WAN bandwidth and reduce charges with Bandwidth Grooming features such as data prioritization and protocol reservation.

Interoperable.

Based on industryaccepted standards, the routers are interoperable with virtually any vendor’s products.

IBM/legacy support.

With comprehensive legacy support, the platforms function effectively in even the most complex IBM enterprise networks.

Designed to meet today’s network challenges and tomorrow’s growth,

II NETBuilder ® future-proof your network, fitting into any WAN environment and providing all the functionality you need for migrating regional and branch offices to Fast Ethernet and new WAN services. These platforms ensure predictable system performance and offer industry-leading flexibility as the only remote device with two or four WAN ports, two

LAN ports, and a telco connection.

A range of platforms gives you the choice of an integrated 56/64 Kbps

DSU/CSU, FT1/T1 DSU/CSU,

ISDN (U and S/T interfaces), plus two or four serial T1/E1 WAN connections. This provides an easy migration path and comprehensive backup choices to meet the changing needs of your network.

Security is a big concern for today’s system administrators who need to

Ro

WAN Access provide users with informationsharing capabilities and Internet access, while maintaining the integrity of their enterprise networks.

The SuperStack II NETBuilder SI routers provide complete network security with Network Address

Translation (NAT) for internal address security, two 10/100BASE-T ports that segment two LANs from each other, and a flexible easy-to-use

ICSA-certified IP firewall, for secure

WAN access to enterprise networks and the Internet.

The SuperStack II NETBuilder SI platforms are part of 3Com’s comprehensive VPN solutions, offering site-to-site connectivity for remote access and client-to-LAN connectivity for secure corporate intranets and extranets. VPNs are supported through tunneling and encryption technologies, Point-to-Point

Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) and

Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP),

IP Security (IPSec), and Microsoft

Point-to-Point Encryption (MPPE).

The Best WAN Value

The SuperStack II NETBuilder SI platforms deliver today’s best overall

WAN value with built-in, easy-to-use IP firewalls that provide secure LAN-to-

WAN traffic as well as protection from

Internet intrusion. Predictable system performance, robust multiprotocol routing, and integrated telecommunications functionality make the

SuperStack II NETBuilder SI devices the most cost-effective, complete regional office solution for changing wide area networking needs in a secure environment.

The platforms can either be used as a remote office connection or as a central site solution in combination with

3Com OfficeConnect ® NETBuilder routers in remote branch offices.

Cost-Effective Flexibility with Telco Interface Modules

The SuperStack II NETBuilder SI platforms have all the functionality you need right from the day you purchase them. When your network requirements change, or you want to change

WAN services, you can easily and affordably convert the existing interface by replacing the telco modules.

SuperStack II NETBuilder SI

ISDN U Module


ISDN U module provides an integrated solution for ISDN U interfaces by automatically converting an S/T base unit to ISDN U without the need for additional exterior hardware.


56/64 Kbps DSU/CSU Module


56/64 Kbps DSU/CSU module plugs directly into the telco port of the S/T base device, providing an integrated

DSU/CSU solution. The module is standards-based to ensure interoperability with a wide range of vendors’ equipment.


FT1/T1 DSU/CSU Module


FT1/T1 DSU/CSU module plugs directly into the telco port of the S/T base device, providing an integrated

FT1/T1 DSU/CSU solution. The module is standards-based to ensure interoperability with a wide range of vendors’ equipment.

Enterprise OS Software

Features

3Com’s Enterprise OS software provides wide-ranging support for internetworking on all NETBuilder platforms and PathBuilder tunnel switches with standards-based features and functionality.

■

The SuperStack II NETBuilder SI platforms support bridging and multiprotocol routing (IP, IPX,

AppleTalk, SNA) over Frame Relay,

PPP, ISDN, leased and dial lines

(Sync and Async), X.25 and

SMDS.

■

Bandwidth Grooming and data compression features reduce WAN bandwidth utilization and packet transmission time, dramatically reducing usage fees. Features include data prioritization to organize traffic into high-medium-low transmission priority queues, bandwidth aggregation to bundle available links into one flexible pipe, and protocol reservation to assign a fixed percentage of the available bandwidth to a particular protocol or traffic type.

■

Resource Reservation Protocol

(RSVP) provides dynamic quality of service (QoS) for outbound traffic on PPP and Frame Relay virtual ports.

■ Auto-dial backup and disaster recovery features, such as dial on demand (DOD), bandwidth on demand (BOD) and Virtual Router

Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) ensure network reliability and costeffective WAN management.

The platforms offer a complete legacy solution for even the most complex IBM environments, integrating multiple types of SNA/legacy devices onto a TCP/IP backbone with comprehensive legacy features such as

SDLC, Data Link Switching, IBM

NetView support, Binary Synchronous

Communications (BSC) conversion and QLLC conversion.

Robust Security

The platforms provide robust network security with built-in ICSA-certified IP firewalls at every network interface. The firewall includes easy-to-use predefined filters to guard against a number of common intrusions. You can also define your own filters and use the on-board traffic simulator to send test packets through the firewall to confirm the configuration’s security.

For additional security, the platforms support NAT which gives private

TCP/IP networks Internet connectivity without reconfiguring end stations with publicly registered IP addresses. This not only alleviates the administrative burden, but also conceals the internal address structure from public view, preventing direct access to an inside host.

In addition, NAT provides address redirection and load balancing of TCP traffic, smoothing integration with the Internet.

Flexible Modules

SuperStack II NETBuilder SI telco interface modules offer flexibility for changing

WAN needs.

Secure Networking for

Educational Institutions

The SuperStack II NETBuilder SI 4xx platform protects confidential student records from unauthorized access, and provides firewall security to protect the campus from possible

Internet hackers.

Branch Office Networking with

3Com’s VPN Solutions

Establishing secure IP tunnels between branch offices and the central site is easy with 3Com’s standards-based VPN technology with

IPsec encryption support. Set up of the SuperStack II NETBuilder SI 4xx series platforms is simple using

Web Link, 3Com’s Web-based configuration tool.

Virtual Private Networking

3Com offers a comprehensive range of VPN solutions, making it easy for you to utilize a shared IP network such as the

Internet. The SuperStack II NETBuilder SI platforms support

Virtual Leased Line (VLL) to establish a secure corporate intranet to remote/branch offices, a secure extranet for business partners and e-commerce, and secure remote access for mobile workers.

■ The platforms support standards-based PPTP and L2TP,

IPSec, MPPE, plus Internet Key Exchange (IKE), increasing remote access performance and security.

■ With 3Com’s versatile VLL solution you can maintain your business critical applications over the existing WAN and use VLL to send only lower priority traffic, use VLL as a low cost backup for disaster recovery on an existing network, or use VLL for temporary augmentation of overflow traffic.

■ Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS),

Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), and LDAP

Client are available on the platforms to provide authentication support.
