The IPLink Model 3210 Series G.SHDSL VPN Router (see figure 1) is a next generation business-class
G.SHDSL router that addresses both the security and the traffic prioritization needs of enterprises while providing complete broadband integration with existing DSLAM neteworks. VPN routers enable the secure communication between remote offices, home offices, and mobile users across insecure IP networks such as the
Internet. The 3210 takes it one step further and integrates quality of service (QoS).
Figure 1. IPLink G.SHDSL VPN Router
The Model 3210 provides two 10/100Base-T Ethernet ports and one G.SHDSL port to deliver a managed virtual-private-network (VPN) connection over the Internet or any unsecured IP network.
The IPlink 3210 Router supports Frame-Relay and PPP networking with VPN and firewall functionality.
Authentication and firewall services protect against unauthorized users while encryption, and anti-replay capabilities preserve data confidentiality. Patton's powerful CoS and QoS mechanisms provide traffic-shaping and
prioritization to guarantee your mission-critical data is delivered promptly and unimpeded by traffic from
other users on the same LAN. Besides assuring first priority for key information, Patton's advanced QoS technology enhances the quality and clarity of realtime application such as live voice and video communications
with the main office. These compact VPN Routers support PPP/PPPoE and Frame Relay services over the
serial WAN link.
The IPLink VPN Router performs the following major functions:
• Routed LAN-to-WAN connectivity between two 10/100 Ethernet LAN ports and one G.SHDSL port.
• IP Routing with class-of-service/quality-of-service (CoS/QoS) support for Internet or IP-WAN access with
traffic shaping and prioritization.
• VPN tunneling for secure traversal of unsecured IP networks
• IPSec payload encryption with authentication header (AH, specified in RFC 2402) and encapsulating secu-
rity payload (ESP, specified in RFC 2406) protects data integrity and confidentiality and prevents unauthorized data-replay.
IPLink Model 3210 Series overview

IPLink 3210 Series Getting Started Guide 1 • General information
Applications overview
Patton’s IPLink managed VPN routers deliver the features you need for secure, optimized communication over
non-secured IP networks. Combining VPN tunneling, standard IPSec encryption, and firewall capabilities
with Patton’s powerful quality of service technology, IPLink VPN routers deliver private, prioritized networking
for business, government, and military applications.
Banking, insurance, retail, utilities, railroads, or government, any organization with more than one site can
benefit from the security and traffic-shaping advantages of the IPLink family of VPN routers. As traffic
traverses unsecured networks, VPN tunneling with standard IPSec encryption plus firewall capabilities preserve
data security and integrity. Meanwhile, IPLink’s ToS/Qos traffic-shaping and prioritization prevent critical
information getting blocked or impeded by less important traffic while enhancing the quality of real-time
applications such as voice and video.
IPLink 3210 Series models provide dual 10/100Base-T Ethernet ports with a G.SHDSL port. The two Ethernet ports provide full-featured IP routing plus Ethernet and IP-layer QoS services. The G.SHDSL port provides WAN access by means of a leased-line connection to the network. The following sections show some
typical applications for the IPLink 3210 Series.
This chapter describes typical applications for which the IPLink 3210 Series series is uniquely suited.
Branch-Office virtual private network over Frame Relay service
Featuring VPN tunneling combined with built-in frame-relay support and a selection of standard serial interfaces on-board, the IPLink 3210 Series offers the remote-branch office a secure, private and prioritized network
connection to another location over virtually any available network service and any standard WAN interface.
Figure 5. Branch-office virtual private network over a Frame-Relay service network
Figure 5 shows a branch-to-branch VPN connection through a frame-relay service network as delivered on
serial lines. The IPLink 3210 Series can support a similar scenario with network service delivered via an Ethernet WAN interface. For remote sites where PPP service is available, the 3210 Series also supports PPP network
access over all the standard WAN interface options mentioned above.
In this specific application, all traffic between the branch and corporate offices is carried in an IPSec tunnel. All
of the IPSec VPN traffic is encapsulated in Frame Relay for transport over the Frame Relay service network.
The serial port is configured for Frame Relay.
Applications overview 23
IPLink 3210 Series Getting Started Guide 1 • General information
To configure this application, you need to configure the following features:
• The WAN port with Frame Relay as the encapsulation protocol
• An IPSec VPN between the two endpoints.
See chapter 4 on page 40 to configure the serial port and chapter 5 on page 45 to configure the VPN.
Corporate multi-function virtual private network
The IPLink 3210 Series can deliver both private corporate intranet service and public Internet access to multiple remote sites by leveraging IPLink’s multiple frame-relay PVC support (see figure 6). The enterprise enjoys
the benefits of secure multi-office virtual private networking with QoS for prioritized traffic flow for missioncritical information.
Figure 6. Corporate multi-function virtual private network
In figure 6, the blue pipes represent VPN connections for private traffic within the corporate intranet, while
the green pipes represent the Internet traffic. The red pipe is a Frame Relay PVC transporting Internet traffic
and private corporate traffic over the VPN. Each of the three remote sites is connected with headquarters via an
IPLink VPN router. Each remote site can take advantage of the most convenient and locally available interface
the WAN service can offer.
Applications overview 24
IPLink 3210 Series Getting Started Guide 1 • General information
The corporate multi-function application carries two types of traffic between each remote office and corporate’s central office:
• Private corporate traffic (the intranet/extranet)
• Internet traffic
The service provider offers a Frame Relay network for access, so both the private corporate traffic and the Internet traffic is transported over a Frame Relay PVC with one DLCI. The corporate traffic is transported within
IPSec VPN that is in the Frame Relay PVC. The separation of corporation and Internet traffic is managed by
using an ACL using IP addresses as the watershed.
To configure this application, you must configure the following features:
• A serial Frame Relay link as the WAN service which will carry both private corporate traffic and public
Internet traffic
• An IPSec VPN for private corporate traffic
• An ACL to distinguish between the two types of traffic so only the private corporate traffic is carried over
the VPN.
See chapter 4 on page 40 to configure the serial port, chapter 5 on page 45 to configure the VPN, and chapter
6 on page 57 to configure the ACL. Chapter 7 on page 71 provides more in-depth explanations of scheduling
various types of traffic. Various techniques are also described, including QoS and TOS.
