ProSafe™ VPN Firewall 200

LAN and Dual WAN Port Switch

At the heart of your office network, NETGEAR's high performance security appliance, ProSafe™ VPN
Firewall 200 offers a complete security solution for small and medium sized companies. This rack-
mountable, Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) firewall is equipped with support for up to 200 security
associations (VPN tunnels). The FVX538 can serve as a DHCP Server, supports Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP), Quality of Service (QoS) and has a powerful SPI firewall to protect
your PCs against intruders and most common Internet attacks.  With support for Trend Micro 
anti-virus policy enforcement functionality, the FVX538 ships with a 60 day evaluation copy of
Trend Micro

™

Client/Server Suite for SMB and Trend Micro Client/Server/Messaging Suite for SMB

for customers without current licenses. Designed with small businesses in mind, the Trend Micro CS
and CSM combine workstation and server virus protection (including Trojans, worms, and hackers,
plus spyware, grayware, and blended threats) into a single solution, empowering small business
owners to deploy and manage an effective antivirus strategy with limited IT investment. 

Featuring eight auto-sensing 10/100 Mbps LAN ports, one Gigabit LAN port and two 10/100
WAN ports, the ProSafe VPN Firewall FVX538 lets multiple computers in your office share two
Internet connections. The dual WAN ports let you connect a second Internet line as a backup to
insure that you're never disconnected. One LAN port can be dedicated as a hardware DMZ port
for safely providing services to the Internet without compromising security on your LAN. 

This powerful VPN Firewall extends security from the network core to the perimeter by preventing
unauthorized network access using a SPI firewall, blocking denial of service (DoS) and other attacks,
encrypting traffic traveling across the Internet and added support for anti-virus and anti-spam policy
enforcement.  

Dual WAN ports support two broadband connections. A second WAN port supports an additional
broadband connection. This second WAN connection may be configured as a failover connection in
case the primary connection fails or can be used to balance the workload by distributing traffic
across the two connections for optimal per user bandwidth. 

Competitively priced and SNMP manageable, convenient VPN Wizard gathers basic information
about your networks and recommends a VPN solution with supporting instructions. Bundled with
NETGEAR's ProSafe VPN client software (VPN05L) — a five user license is included. Virtual
Private Network Consortium (VPNC) certified VPN supports secure data connectivity and trans-
mission over the Internet and ensures interoperability with many other popular security products.
