OnSite Model 2884 User Manual 1 • General information
OnSite Model 2884 Overview
The Model 2884 Series T1/E1 Channelized Gigabit Routers (figure 1) are a family of multi-media routers that
terminate up to 124 PPP channels as well as perform Layer 2 bonding of T1/E1 WAN ports with multi-link
PPP. Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports ensure connection to any LAN infrastructure.
The OnSite™ Channelized Gigabit Routers offer pre-set priorities for voice and video traffic on a per port
basis up to a user configurable bandwidth. QoS configurations ease the bandwidth management of ports and
applications through the creation of QoS classes and profiles. Traffic can be shaped and policed to provide full
QoS control over both the egress and ingress directions. ToS/DiffServ bits can be re-striped to ensure networkwide QoS enforcement. VLAN priority bits can be used for QoS enforcement.
Stateful Firewall inspection of traffic is accomplished through the creation of Access Control Lists (ACLs) that
enable the filtering of traffic based on numerous criteria including source and destination IP address, port and
protocol.
Logical and physical ports are selectable for bridging or routing. Advanced IP features such NAT/NAPT and
VLANs are likewise configurable on a per port basis. By supporting the latest version of PPP/BCP, the OnSite
transparently negotiates the passing of VLAN traffic over PPP based WAN links. Bridged traffic can be tagged
and prioritized according to user defined parameters.
The 2884 Model Series boasts easy installation, offering CLI configuration via Console/VT-100 or Telnet/SSH, and HTTP web based management, and SNMP. Patton's series of high-speed access routers offer the
versatility and reliability demanded for business-class applications at the most affordable price..

• 2/4 port Channelized T1/E1--Support up to 124 PPP sessions with up to 4 channelized T1/E1 ports.
• ML-PPP Expands Bandwidth--Bind any number of channels or T1/E1 ports to create up to an 8Mbps
WAN link.
• Dual Gigabit Ethernet Ports--With Dual 10/100/1000, auto-MDI ports easily connect to any LAN infra-
structure.
• Per Flow QoS--Traffic rates are set through ACLs that shape and police VLAN and IP traffic.
• Stateful Firewall Inspection--Stateful firewall inspection is accomplished through ACLs that filter by
source and destination IP address, IP port and protocol.
• Layer 2/3 Traffic Filtering--Assign an ACL to any interface and filter an IP port, VLAN ID or priority bits,
and MAC addresses.
• VLAN Tagging--VLAN tagging and processing is configurable on any T1/E1 channel or Ethernet port.
• Easy Management--Easily manage the 2884 router via an HTTP/web interface, a CLI accessible via the
VT100 console or through Telnet/SSH, via SNMP, or via CORBA.
