With
the explosive growth of the Internet, having multiple points of connection
to the Internet is now becoming an essential part of businesses network
strategy. Multiple connections to the Internet, known as multi-homing,
reduce the risk of a potentially catastrophic shutdown if one of the connections
should fail.
In addition to maintaining
a reliable connection, multi-homing allows a company to perform load-balancing
by lowering the number of computers connecting to the Internet through
any single connection. Distributing the load through multiple connections
optimizes the performance and can significantly decrease wait times.
The MH200, designed for
these goals, is a multi-homing Gateway router that provides an integrated
solution with the following advanced features.
1. Real-time automatic backup:
All WAN links backup each other automatically. Internet connection never
fails. Should a WAN link break down, the MH200 detects this situation in
real time, send email notification to MIS, and redirect subsequent traffic
to remaining healthy WAN links. Likewise when a broken link comes back
on line, the MH200 detects its presence instantly and start routing traffic
back to it. Everything is automatic. Neither human involvement nor ISP
reconfiguration is required. You can set the auto-switch time in the range
of 1~99 seconds.
2. Load Balances Traffic
Over 2 WAN Connections: To guarantee the quality of service (QoS) has become
a basic requirement for many enterprises, for which can not afford the
poor quality of the services degraded or even failed due to bandwidth misuse.
Users can easily set up bandwidth policies based on their network configuration
and company's policies. The MH200 can make sure that bandwidth need of
anticipated traffic can be met and bandwidth consumption of unexpected
traffic is monitored and controlled. Bandwidth policies of the MH200 can
be specified based on RoundRobin, Weight Percentage, and Auto modes.
3. Cost-Effective: You can
get rid of a T1 connection with only two two-way 512K ADSL. More economic
and yet more secure.
4. Network Security Protection:
Network Policy, Hacker Alert, Time Schedule, Access Control and Content
Filtering.
5. VPN Gateway: Supports
VPN (VPN Gateway for IP-Sec,PPTP Server/Client); DES/3DES, 200 Tunnels,
and protocols like AutoKey IKE, MD5, SHA-1, etc.
6. The Multi Router Traffic
Grapher (MRTG): Monitor the traffic load on network-links and generates
HTML pages containing graphical images which provides a LIVE visual representation
of this traffic.
