Nortel VPN Router Configuration — Basic Features 

 

This chapter introduces the Nortel VPN Router. The Nortel VPN Router is a 
family of products that deliver security and IP services in a single integrated 
platform. With IP routing, Virtual Private Networking (VPN), stateful firewall, 
policy management and QoS services, a single Nortel VPN Router device offers 
the IP services that normally require multiple purpose devices. Designed for 
enterprise networks, the Nortel VPN Router leverages the cost advantages of the 
Internet while providing secure communications across the public IP 
infrastructure.

As a highly scalable device, the Nortel VPN Router can address the security and 
IP services needs of the smallest branch site or largest headquarters environment. 
A Nortel VPN Router can be installed as an IP access router or stateful packet 
firewall.

The Nortel VPN Router incorporates Nortel’s Secure Routing Technology (SRT). 
SRT is a software framework that provides a security structure through all Nortel 
VPN Router operational components, including IP routing, VPN, firewall, and 
policy services. This allows for management consistency and scalable 
performance even when running multiple IP services in the same device. SRT also 
provides dynamic routing (RIP/OSPF) over secure IPsec tunnels, uniform security 
policies across VPN, routing, and firewall services and a flexible software 
licensing scheme.

With its combination of secure, manageable, and scalable features, you can shift 
information technology resources from solving the current remote user access 
problems to other, more proactive administrative and management areas. And you 
can eliminate modem-management pool problems from your organization and 
shift them to your Nortel VPN Router provider.
