Functional Concepts
One basis for success in today’s business world is combining resources. The 
X330WAN supplies you with combined required access functionality for branch 
offices and SMEs. The X330WAN was designed and developed to include all of the 
functions necessary for branch offices and SMEs.
The following sections describe the overall concepts that together comprise the 
functioning of the X330WAN access router. 
For examples of common configurations using the following concepts, refer to 
Chapter 4: Common Configurations.
WAN Access
WAN access provides a link for routing packets between their WAN and 
Ethernet/LAN interfaces, enabling heavy data transfer. WAN access can connect 
branch offices to headquarters, and provide fast access to the Internet and e-mail. 
When combined with the Avaya G700 Gateway or to the Avaya DEFINITY VoIP 
services are provided.
Routing
The X330WAN access router modules provides routing capabilities in a P330 
device. They route packets between their WAN and Ethernet/LAN interfaces.The 
X330WAN access router modules’ routing software is based on the routing software 
of the Avaya P333R and P333R-LB. It provides support for the major routing 
protocols. It also provides a L3/L4 Policy classifier working per Layer 2 
interface/direction, controlling access and QoS (tagging and mapping to internal 
queuing mechanism). The X330WAN independently controls all traffic flow in the 
P330 from the LAN to the WAN.
Security
The X330WAN currently contains the infrastructure for all security functionality 
planned for future releases, such as Firewall and VPN. Licenses will be issued for 
different security options, when development is completed.
Security currently can be achieved with the X330WAN for the initial release by 
connecting the Fast Ethernet port of the X330WAN via an external firewall to a port 
on the P330 switch. The X330WAN module is connected to the Internet via it’s 
WAN ports. 
Convergence
The X330WAN enables a combined data and VoIP solution when used in 
conjunction with a VoIP gateway, such as the G700. This is achieved by connecting 
the G700 to the LAN’s P330 stack, and inserting the X330WAN in one of the
