Chapter 1 About the Vanguard 342 Overview Introduction This chapter describes the hardware and software functions, and the target applications for the Vanguard® 342 device.
Vanguard 342 Description Vanguard 342 Description Introduction This section describes the Vanguard 342 device. Description The Vanguard 342 is a member of the 340 family. The Vanguard 342 expands the capabilities of the 340 by providing enhanced performance, increased memory and support for new applications and services to meet the growing demands of the small branch office. It’s high performance architecture and features enable new WAN services such as G.
Features and Functionality Features and Functionality Introduction This section describes the features available with your Vanguard 342 device. For descriptions of the software running on your Vanguard 342, refer to the appropriate protocol document. These documents can be found on the VanguardMS Web site: http://www.
Features and Functionality Daughtercard Functionality The Vanguard 342 is available with the optional components listed below as factory-installed or as separate add-in daughtercards: • FXS/FXO Voice • 4-Port FXS • 4-Port FXO • Voice FXS • FT1/FE1 • Dual E&M • ISDN BRI-U Data • ISDN & enhanced ISDN BRI-S/T Data • ISDN BRI Voice • DSU • DIMM • ECC DIMM • V.90 • G.SHDSL For additional information about these cards, refer to the “Vanguard Daughtercards” section in Chapter 2.
Target Applications Target Applications Introduction This section describes the various target applications for the Vanguard 342. These examples are shown: • • • • • • • • • About the Vanguard 342 Virtual Private Network IP and Serial Protocols over Frame Relay Video and Serial Protocols over Public or Private Networks Branch Office to Central Office over Public or Private Networks SOHO and Branch Office to Central Office over ISDN DSL and Cable Modem G.
Target Applications Virtual Private Network Introduction This section provides a general description of features and applications within the Vanguard Virtual Private Network (VPN). These topics are discussed: • Cost-effective VPN Solutions • Hardware-based Encryption and Compression • Standard-based Tunneling and Encryption for IP Traffic • Multi-protocol Tunneling and Encryption • Frame Relay and X.
Target Applications • Address Management - The Addresses of the clients on each of the private sites should not be the ones used in the public domain, however, packets sent out onto the public network must have public source/destination addresses. • Multiprotocol Support - The solution must be able to handle common protocols used in the corporate network.
Target Applications Standard-based Tunneling and Encryption for IP Traffic IPSec IPSec is the predominant tunneling and security standard for IP Networks. It defines protocols required for site-to-site as well as remote access VPN implementations at layer 3 of the OSI model. Vanguard Applications Ware release 5.5 and greater supports these IPSec features: • Authentication Header (AH) and Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) for user authentication and encryption.
Target Applications Frame Relay and X.25 Encryption Frame Relay and X.25 Networks Another value-added feature in Vanguard Managed Solutions VPN implementation is the ability to encrypt LAN traffic and serial legacy protocols (SNA, SDLC, SLAC, and TBOP) and transport them over Frame Relay and X.25 networks. This is particularly useful in the financial industry where SNA traffic going out into the branches and ATM machines require a high level of security.
Target Applications IP and Serial Protocols over Frame Relay Introduction The Vanguard 342 supports multi protocol encapsulation of IP traffic and serial protocols over frame relay as specified by RFC 1490. As shown in Figure 1-3, a SNA cluster controller connects to a serial port on the Vanguard 342 and the Ethernet LAN connects to the 10/100BaseT Ethernet port. The Vanguard is fully interoperable with third party routers via RFC 1490.
Target Applications Video and Serial Protocols over Public or Private Networks Introduction As shown in Figure 1-4, the Vanguard 342 can support encapsulation of video and serial protocols over public or private networks. This use of Vanguard 342 suits banking applications such as Automated Bank Machines (ABMs). With Dial on Demand software feature enabled, the Vanguard 342 initiates a connection only when there is a data transfer, that is only for the duration of a bank transaction.
Target Applications Branch Office to Central Office over Public or Private Networks Introduction The Vanguard 342 offers an ideal solution for branch office to central office connectivity over a public or private network as shown in Figure 1-5. The Vanguard 342 is equipped with a FT1 supports connectivity to the network at fractional T1 speeds. PC’s Running Host Vanguard 342 2 Security Monitoring Video Workstation Application RemoteVu Guardian IP/FR/X.
Target Applications Application Matrix Application Type This table describes the application types shown in Figure 1-5 and lists the various daughtercards used for connectivity over a private or public frame relay network: Daughtercard Used Application Description Branch access to Central Office DSU DIM, FXS/FXO The Vanguard 342 supports voice, video and data traffic and ISDN between the branch and central office over private or Daughtercards public network.
Target Applications SOHO and Branch Office to Central Office over ISDN Introduction The Vanguard 342 equipped with optional daughtercards provide a wide range of network solutions for companies with small branch offices or telecommuting employees working from a home office. A dial in or dedicated ISDN link provides network connection for the home and branch as shown in Figure 1-6.
Target Applications Office Type Daughtercard Used Description Small Home Office FXS/FXO and ISDN Daughtercard Equipped with a Vanguard supporting the FXS/FXO and ISDN daughtercard, a work-at-home employee can stay fully connected to the corporate backbone and PBX via an ISDN link. A telecommuter can easily access file servers, email servers, voice mail and the Internet from home. The Voice Over IP (VoIP) software feature provides voice support.
Target Applications DSL/Cable Modem Introduction The Vanguard 342 enables connectivity to high-speed broadband services such as DSL and Cable by connecting the 10/100BaseT port on the Vanguard 342 to the Ethernet port on the DSL or Cable modem. Cable modem speeds vary in the downstream direction. Network speeds can reach 27 Mbps., but this is an aggregate amount of bandwidth that is shared by users. Few computers will be capable of connecting at such high speeds, so a more realistic number is 1 to 3 Mbps.
Target Applications G.SHDSL Daughtercard Introduction The Vanguard 342 enables connectivity to high-speed broadband services such as G.SHDSL by installing a Vanguard G.SHDSL daughtercard in the Vanguard 342. Remote Branches Head Office PBX LAN 2 LAN 1 Cable/DSL 10/100 auto-sensing 340 342 G.SHDSL Daughtercard Installed VANGUARD 6435 Sales, Marketing, Engineering Figure 1-8. LAN Over WAN (G.SHDSL Daughtercard Installed) G.SHDSL Daughtercard About the Vanguard 342 The G.
Target Applications LAN Segmentation Introduction Traditional LAN segmentation allows grouping users and avoiding common problem where packets are forwarded to LANs with no need for them. It allows also isolating a secure area from a public one. When separate networks are needed or if a network has reached its physical limitations, segmentation is used. Segmenting a LAN can extend the network, reduce congestion, isolate network problems, and improve security.
Target Applications Virtual LAN (VLAN) VLAN In this application Vanguard 342 is directly connected to a VLAN switch. Switches are data link-layer devices that, like bridges, enable multiple physical LAN segments to be interconnected into a single larger network. The WAN traffic consists of data destined to remote resources. There should be virtually no traffic between local devices. Figure 1-10.
Clocking Limitations Vanguard 342 Clocking Limitations Vanguard 342 Limitation Listed below are the clocking issues relating to Port 3 of the Vanguard 342: Vanguard 342 DCE INT --> VG6560/VG320/VG64xx EXT at 1.5 Mbps When a Vanguard 342 Port 3 is configured as internally clocked and is connected to a 6560/320/64xx which is configured as EXT clocked, and the Vanguard 342 internal clock is configured at 1.5 Mbps, the link has clock slippage and CRC errors.
