Quick Eagle Networks 5840 User Manual

Quick Eagle’s 5840 Multiport RouterTMis ideal for medium-sized businesses and
enterprise branch offices that need routers that can scale as the network
requirements grow without having to add more hardware.

With its high port density, the 5840 Multiport Router delivers all the functions you
need in a branch office router: The ability to configure static routes, and one or
more dynamic routing protocols like RIP1, RIP2, OSPF, and optional BGP-4,
enables the router to link enterprise networks with advanced IP routing services,
such as multipaths and path redundancy.

Static NAT, dynamic NAT, and overloading (NAPT) lets you access the Internet
using your private IP addresses. Astateful inspection firewall permits or denies
access based on source and destination IP addresses. The embedded network
performance monitoring features enable protocols and applications monitoring
(RMON-1, RMON-2) and Frame Relay Service Level Verification.

In addition to its wealth of standard features, the 5840’s unique architecture
provides the flexibility to meet the most demanding and evolving business
requirements: Enabling your network to grow with your business, the 5840
Multiport Router can be upgraded for added bandwidth (up to 12 Mbps with 8 T1
or 16 Mbps with 8 E1 WAN ports) through software. No waiting for hardware, no
engineering time to perform the upgrade, and no lengthy system downtime is
required.

Multilink PPP (RFC1990) and Multilink Frame Relay (FRF.16.1) protocols
provide the 5840 Multiport Router with the capability to bond multiple T1/E1s
into a single high-speed virtual link or enable load balancing applications. The
5840 Multiport Router can also be deployed as a MAC Learning Bridge (IEEE

802.1d) over Frame Relay or PPP.

With its optional standard-based DiffServ QoS (Differentiated Services/Quality Of
Service) capability the 5840 Multiport Router allows you to control and manage the
bandwidth on your WAN connection, eliminating bottlenecks for your business­critical applications such as ERP and CRM. In addition, DiffServ QoS enables
delay-sensitive voice and video-over-IP services, while dedicating enough
bandwidth for lower priority traffic.

With its excellent performance, scalability in routing protocols, breadth of
features, and competitive pricing

1

, there is now an alternative to those

traditional, high cost, proprietary branch office routers.

When port density counts.

Main Benefits:

• Uses software feature keys to

scale WAN port configuration
without the need for expensive
hardware upgrades

• Improves network reliability and

performance through load sharing
and load balancing in a
multihoming environment

• Offers flexible interfaces that can

be deployed as independent links
or bundled into one or more
MLPPP or MLFR bundles

• Supports broad range of routing

protocols such as static routing,
RIP1, RIP2, OSPF, optional
BGP-4, IGMPv3, and GRE

•

Reduces access cost by
integrating NAT services for
Internet access

• Better performance than many

traditional branch office routers
due to integrated hardware and
software architecture

• Lowers cost of ownership through

integrated routing, CSU/DSU,
optional Quality of Service, and
network monitoring capabilities

The 5840 Multiport Router

1

Please refer to Quick Eagle’s 5842 and 5844 Multiport Routers if you require a lower port density router with an even lower cost.

The 5840 Multiport Router provides the following features:

• Support for a wide variety of WAN protocols such as PPP, Frame Relay, Multilink PPP,

Multilink Frame Relay FRF.16.1, and MAC Learning Bridging for point-to-point and point­to-multipoint applications to the Internet, private or public Frame Relay networks

• Advanced IP / Frame Relay Router capabilities with:

• Standard-based IP-over-Frame Relay encapsulation, RFC-2427 compliant

• Link Management Interface (LMI): ANSI AnnexD, ITU Annex A, and FRF Rev 1.0

• Static and dynamic configuration of up to 1024 DLCIs

• Static and dynamic mapping of DLCI to IP Subnets using InverseARP

• Dynamic routing protocols RIP1, RIP2, OSPF or optional BGP-4 (I-BGP and E-BGP)

• Dynamic load balancing, using OSPF or optional BGP-4 (I-BGP and E-BGP)

• Optional DiffServ-compliant QoS capabilities:

• Ability to assign maximum bandwidth to each traffic class

• Traffic metering, shapes or drops “out-of-profile” traffic

• Prevents lower classes of traffic from being bandwidth starved

• Enables QoS per routing interface in incoming and outgoing direction

• Novice user configuration with presets; advanced user to optimize resources and
throughput; statistics reports on QoS

• Network Address Translation (NAT) and port translation (NAPT)

• Remote configuration and management through Telnet (Terminal User Interface menus),

Command Line Interface (CLI), and SNMPv3

• MAC Bridging features: VLAN MPLS tag transparency

• Basic device configuration and T1/E1 loopback diagnostics through front panel

• Full range of network performance monitoring and troubleshooting features that enable

you to accurately measure end-to-end performance of the network, including RMON-1
statistics, RMON-2 applications and protocol monitoring, and Frame Relay SLA FRF.13.

• Multilink Frame Relay (FRF.16.1) and MLPPP (RFC1990) support

• Stateful Inspection Firewall with TCP, UDP, ICMP, DNS, SMTP, FTP, and HTTP protocol

handling capabilities

• Menu access for layer-3 and above statistics

• Multiple multilink bundles and support of MLPPP / MLFR bundle classes A, B & C

• Support of DHCP server and DHCP relay agent

A sophisticated product architecture.
