Key Benefits
MSR 20-1x is developed on the concept of multiple services and expansible application; therefore, it embodies abundant characteristics to meet the demand of various circumstances. The main features and benefits can be concluded as follows:
Advanced Hardware Architecture
- Embedded Service Modules for Security and Voice
MSR 20-1x adopts brand new hardware structure to support enhanced security and voice functions. By using embedded modules of VPM (Voice Processing Module), the voice functions have been greatly improved. VPM serves as a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) to provide voice communication. The voice module supports mainstream voice protocols such as SIP, H.323 etc. Moreover, different VPMs are available in according to the number of supported telephone lines. Therefore, it is quite flexible for the users to configure voice functions, thus reducing the investment. For security, embedded hardware encryption modules are provided.
- USB Interface
Considering security and future application, MSR 20-1x adopts Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface. USB is a universal standard interface, with which routers will enjoy many powerful functions. MSR 20-1x support USB memory disk to download and upload configuration files. In the future, it will support e-token and other more advanced and practical applications such as USB console, wireless functions etc.
Brand New Software Architecture
MSR 20-1x adopts the Comware V5 network operating platform, on which products fully support the previous software features of the AR 18/28/46 Series, e.g. providing abundant network security features, supporting the Systems Network Architecture (SNA)/Data-Link Switching (DLSw) etc. In addition, this unified platform provides the backup solution based on the backup center technology and VRRP, supports MPLS L3/L2 VPN and ADSL access, PPPoE Server/Client and IP multicast and offers abundant Quality of Service (QoS) features. Meanwhile, the Comware V5 operating platform supports IPv6，MPLS TE and other abundant features.
-IPv6
By using Comware V5 software platform, MSR 20-1x supports the cutting edge technology of IPv6. As a fundamental of the next-generation network, IPv6 is widely recognized with its striking technical advantages. Major IPv6 features of MSR 20-1x include:
Support the IPv6 addresses
Support IPv6 Neighbor Discovery
Support the IPv6 ACL
Support the IPv6 routing protocols
Support evolution from IPv4 to IPv6
NAT-PT (Network Address Translation-Protocol Translation)
Packet and message translation
-MPLS TE
MPLS TE is a QoS technology based on the Int-Serv model. By integrating the traffic engineering and MPLS technologies, it can establish the LSP tunnel to a specified path, make resources reservation and enable the network traffic to bypass the congestion nodes, thus balancing the network traffic. Therefore, MSR 20-1x makes more flexible use of the QoS technology in the MPLS network.
-Powerful Forwarding Performance
The IP packet forwarding performance is a key parameter for evaluating a router. MSR 20-1x adopts advanced technologies to ensure rapid forwarding in the multiple concurrent services situation. MSR 20-1x not only provides fast forwarding on various high-speed link interfaces, but forwards packets rapidly in collaboration with the QoS and firewall functions.
Multi-Service Integration & Concurrence
For enterprises of different sizes, MSR 20-1x can be used to build the network that integrates data, voice and VoIP services on a single platform. The single platform offers a higher integrated density of data and voice, developing the enterprise IP voice application into a new stage. Compared with the routers of same level,MSR 20-1x improve dramatically in terms of the forwarding performance, security performance and voice performance.
-Voice Services
MSR 20-1x supports the mainstream VoIP protocols such as SIP, H.323 etc. By adopting scalable embedded voice processing modules, and provides high density multiple interface modules for the VoIP applications, such as FXS/FXO/ISDN BRI voice.
-Complete Convergence of Routing and Switching
The newly developed modules support high density switching. In particular, MSR 20-1x series supports the 4/9-port SIC switching modules and integrated with a fixed 4-port L2 switching module. The Ethernet switching modules support relatively sound L2 Ethernet switch features and relevant protocols, for instance, VLAN, MAC address management, STP, port trunking LACP, 802.1X, QOS/ACL etc.
-Comprehensive VPN and Security Features:
In addition to the traditional VPN and security features such as L2TP VPN, GRE VPN, RADIUS, ASPF (Application Specific Packet Filtering), Portal etc, the Comware V5 software platform further expands and improves VPN and security features such as Firewall, IPSec VPN, MPLS VPN, CA, Secure Shell (SSH) protocol 2.0, intrusion protection, Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP v3) etc.
Investment Protection
Considering customers’ investment and based on the concept of investment protection, MSR 20-1x are designed with high performance price ratio. While compatible with the former SIC modules of AR 28, users can achieve significant and smooth upgrade with relatively cost-effective investment. In addition, MSR 20-1xprovides high default hardware configuration, for example, the memory, the fixed switching port etc.
Integrated Wireless LAN Capability
MSR 20-1x Series fixed-configuration routers offer models with an integrated wireless access point, providing secure router and secure wireless LAN services in one device, helping businesses reduce total cost of ownership with simplified WLAN deployment and management capabilities. The integrated wireless access point supports IEEE 802.11b/g simultaneously to provide high-speed wireless capability and flexibility to support 2.4 GHz operation, making them ideal choices for wireless hotspot deployments and wireless office solutions.
High Reliability
The MSR 20-1x provides the Backup Center and VRRP technologies, ensuring the provision of the backup scheme in case of communication line failure or equipment failure. In this way, smooth data communication is ensured and the robustness, reliability of the network is enhanced. The backup center supports the backup load sharing function.
Easy maintenance and efficient deployment
MSR 20-1x can provide more customized management solutions.
- Auto-config can automatically detect and configure all its interfaces upon its first use and starts Telnet, FTP, or Web service.
- Easy Deployment: Based on Auto-config and Serial Number for each router, MSR 20-1x can realize the branch devices zero-touch and centralized management by the central management system.
- Configuration Rollback: If any error occurs during the configuration deploying process, the device will inform the NMS and the configuration file will get rollback, which ensures the reliability of configuration deployment.
- NetStream can provide the packet statistics function. It differentiates traffic flows through the destination IP address, source IP address, destination port Number, source port Number, protocol ID, ToS, input/output interface of packets and makes independent data statistics for different flows.
- NQA delivers network quality and analysis function, detecting the state and service type of DLSw, DHCP, FTP, HTTP or SNMP servers, realizing the service status monitoring and network quality analysis.
