BANDIT™ is a
Virtual Private Network (VPN) gateway that provides router/FRAD,
firewall and IPSec VPN functionality, dial backup, and legacy
protocol support on one platform.
The BANDIT™ is a secure broadband
access router, ideally suited for branch offices, that combines
Virtual Private Network (VPN) security, remote diagnostics, dial
backup, and extended network management tools in a single compact
device. The BANDIT™ offers the best combination of price and
performance as an all-in-one solution for IP routing, VPN,
firewall security, legacy data protocols, and diagnostics,
combined with SNMP based network management for carrier,
enterprise, and small business customers.
Designed as a product for Managed
Network Services (MNS), the BANDIT™ brings together a combination
of legacy data protocols, security functions, and management tools
into a broadband VPN access device attractive to both enterprise
users and service providers.
Extensive support for legacy data
protocols, such as X.25, SNA, and BiSync, together with IP data
and Voice over IP, enables the BANDIT™ to handle a combination of
VPN applications with its standard dual Ethernet connections and
the optional serial port. IPsec encryption, firewall with stateful
packet inspection, and network address translation (NAT) protect
both critical enterprise traffic and servers. Remote configuration
and monitoring tools, built into the BANDIT™, dramatically speed
deployment and reduce operating expense.
For high availability, each BANDIT™
contains an integral V.90 modem that provides automatic dial
backup and restore capability. To minimize toll charges, the
BANDIT™ can drop the dialed call after the main network connection
recovers from a failure or a pre-determined idle time. The
operator also can configure the unit to wait for a command to
return to normal operation.
Positioned between the IP core
network and the Local Area Network (LAN), the BANDIT™ provides the
conduit for communication between regional/branch offices and
corporate headquarters over a Virtual Private Network (VPN). The
BANDIT™ is a small but powerful tool for a variety of networking
functions.
