The Kentrox Q2300 router makes low-cost broadband services practical for business
The Q2300 router makes low-cost broadband services practical for business. Until now, business-class routers have been expensive and overly complex to set up and use, while consumer-level DSL and cable-modem routers have lacked business-quality monitoring, control, and security capabilities. The Q2300 router changes all this by combining the features of an IP router, QoS appliance, IPSec VPN appliance, firewall, and Ethernet switch into one easy-to-use network access device.
Mission-critical applications and delay-sensitive traffic, such as VoIP and video, can degrade significantly when competing with bursty web traffic for WAN bandwidth. The Q2300 is pre-configured to provide priority queuing and traffic shaping to ensure high-priority traffic takes precedence over less critical applications. Traffic can be classified with user-created policies, making it easy to prioritize traffic to meet your needs.
The Kentrox Q2300 router is designed to simplify installation with its intuitive GUI, making it faster and easier for both network administrators and less experienced installers. Advanced feature configurations, such as VPN tunnels, firewall, and QoS policies, are also made simpler by the router’s GUI.
The graphical user interface contains powerful tools to
troubleshoot problems, run QoS reports, make configuration
changes, set up traffic-shaping policies, or just check the health of the network. Accomplishing these tasks with command line-driven products can be difficult and time-consuming. Arranged logically and intuitively by function, the router’s GUI is point-and-click easy.
To protect internal networks from outside intrusion, the
router conceals LAN IP addresses using Network Address
Translation (NAT). It also has an integrated Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) firewall. The router firewall includes Intrusion Detection System (IDS) capability, which identifies and blocks common attacks. Application Layer Gateways (ALG) pass common traffic types while preventing unwanted traffic from entering the LAN.
With Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), you can take
advantage of the cost savings associated with transmitting
communications over IP services. The Q2300 secures up to
100 VPN tunnels with standards-based IPSec encryption
(DES/3DES/AES) and authentication.
The Q2300's graphical reports let you monitor traffic
performance at each established QoS priority level to see
whether the critical traffic flows are getting the bandwidth they need. The report data helps you identify performance problems and modify your QoS policies appropriately. To reduce bandwidth pinches, for example, you would simply view the current and historical performance reports, and adjust QoS policies as necessary to provide the appropriate amount of bandwidth for high-priority applications.
