Description |
|
Multiple Internet Connection |
Virtually unlimited support for multiple Internet connections. Limited physically by onboard NIC's or throughput capability of single NIC if using VLAN's. The NB-i-Series are capable of expanding to 10 physical GigE NIC's. |
|
Load Balancing |
Ability to cluster multiple physical WAN connections together to balance outgoing connections. Each link can be weighted to provide intelligent load balancing. Seamless routing failover and failback if a link in the cluster fails. |
|
High Availability |
Provide pure HA where a back-up link is only activated on the detection of a failure on the primary link. On detection the primary link is active the back-up link is again deactivated. |
|
Integrated configuration |
Configuration interface allows for the combination of Load Balancing with HA. Hence a cluster of links configured for load balancing and a single connection configured for absolute fallback. |
|
High Availability NetBox VPN |
When this feature is combined with the NetBox-VPN it provides HA site-to-site VPN. The NetBox VPN provides a hearbeat mechanism that detects when a link is down and will re-establish the VPN on an active link. |
