EdgeRouters can easily be congured

for routing, security, and management

features required to efciently run

your network. For advanced network
professionals, an integrated CLI is
available for quick and direct access
using familiar commands.

Manage Your Network

DHCP Server Set up multiple DHCP

servers to assign IP ranges in different
subnets on the different interfaces.
Easily control dynamic and static IP
addressing for your network devices.

Monitoring Tools Conveniently track
network activity and devices from
tools such as Ping, Trace, Discover,
Packet Capture, and Log Monitor.

User Accounts Manage access
to the EdgeRouter using unique
administrator and operator accounts.

Firewall Policies Organize the rules

you apply in the order you specify.

Firewall Groups Apply the policies to

groups ltered by IP address, network

address, or port number.

NAT Rules The EdgeRouter changes
packet addressing based on your
customized source and destination
NAT rules.

Interfaces Each Gigabit port
functions as an independent interface.

You can also congure Virtual Local
Area Network (VLAN) interfaces for

network segmentation.

Routing Congure static routes

and dynamic routing protocols to
effectively manage the routes used by
the EdgeRouter.

With these capabilities and more, the
