Linksys RVS4000 User Manual

Secure, smart Gigabit networking for
growing business

Protection of your network is a mission critical activity. At Linksys, we build powerful
security into every product, to keep your wired and wireless networks safe. Linksys
Small Business Series systems have advanced firewall, encryption and authentication
features to protect you from network threats – threats that can seriously disrupt or
damage your business by stealing your valuable data, slowing down your network and
interfering with business-critical applications. Our systems ensure maximum application
availability enabling you to meet corporate governance and business continuance
requirements. The Linksys Small Business Series is the affordable, reliable, high quality
networking solution that helps you do business smarter. Secure and easy to install and
maintain, it’s built to grow with your business.

With broadband speeds increasing beyond 20Mbps, many of the existing 10/100 gateways
do not have the processing power to support these higher data rates, becoming the
bottleneck in the network. The RVS4000 10/100/1000 4-Port VPN Router operates at Gigabit
speeds to meet the demands of today’s networks. It features Linksys’ proven SPI Firewall with
an integrated Intrusion Detection and Prevent System (IDS/IPS).

Its built-in 4-port, full-duplex 10/100/1000 Ethernet switch can connect up four PCs directly,
or additional hubs and switches. The QoS features provide consistent voice and video quality
throughout your business.

In addition the RVS4000 features a Virtual Private Network (VPN) security engine that creates
encrypted “IPSec tunnels” through the Internet. The IPSec VPN tunnels enable remote users from
at home, or on the road to easily, and securely connect to the office network through a typical
wired or wireless broadband connection. When used with another RVS4000 or other Linksys VPN
router, “branch-to-branch” connections can be established allowing users in a remote office to
connect to the corporate network.
