Enterprise Edge Communications Manager Data Capabilities
Data Module Objectives After the completion of this module you will be able to describe the following Data components of the Enterprise Edge Communications Manager: Integrated Quality of Service IP Router WAN Protocols WAN Access Services LAN Services Network Services IP Services Security Services 2 CM 2.0 Data Capabilities 4.25.00
Integrated Quality of Service IP Router- Protocols Integrated QoS IP Router Diffserv queuing IPX support via LAN segment Static Routing: Individual Routing Table entries programmed for each route Used for router deployment in star-topology and limited meshnetworks. IP WAN Network RIP v1&v2 (Routing Information Protocol): Routing Table entries are dynamically updated in each router using a distance vector algorithm. Used for router deployment in star-topology networks and larger mesh-networks. Used for routed networks with less than 16 hops Edge-to- Edge IP WAN Network OSPF (Open Shortest Path First): Routing Table entries are dynamically updated in each router using a link state algorithm. Used for router deployment in star-topology networks and large mesh-networks. Used for routed networks with multiple autonomous areas IP WAN Network IP WAN Network IP WAN Network 3 CM 2.0 Data Capabilities 4.25.00
WAN Protocols Frame Relay (FR) Cost effective Widely available Point-to-Point (PPP) The workhorse connection for TCP/IP and IP networks MultiLink Point-to-Point (MLPP) Compliments PPP service by enabling the router to service a PPP connection spread over more than one physical interface 4 CM 2.0 Data Capabilities 4.25.00
Wide Area Network (WAN) Connection The Enterprise Edge Communications Manager has an integrated Quality of Service router that can be configured with a Wide Area Network Interface Card (NIC), eliminating the need for external routing hardware. 5 CM 2.0 Data Capabilities 4.25.00
Net Link Manager Promotes the resiliency and redundancy of the Enterprise Edge Communications Manager By monitoring the primary WAN link status The router provides PPP dial back-up capabilities via V.90 modem ISDN BRI or PRI B channels 6 CM 2.0 Data Capabilities 4.25.00
WAN Backup with Dial-on-Demand Monitors primary WAN T-1 to Frame Relay The WAN T-1 FR link fails and automatically the back-up V.90 modem or ISDN BRI/PRI connection is established The WAN T1 FR service is restored and automatically the back-up V.90 or ISDN BRI/PRI connection is terminated WAN T-1 WAN T-1 Frame Relay ISDN BRI/PRI PSTN 7 CM 2.0 Data Capabilities 4.25.00
Corporate Network via Dial-on-Demand Dial-on-Demand to other sites Dedicated T-1/FT-1 is not needed for Corporate Network Remote sites can be accessed through voice PRI on a dial-up basis Dial up occurs automatically at 64K or N*64K (Check w/your service provider) T-1 T-1 PSTN To Digital Trunk Media Bay Module (Voice T-1) 8 CM 2.0 Data Capabilities 4.25.00
Internet Access via Dial-on-Demand Dedicated T-1/FT-1 is not needed for Internet access Internet can be accessed through channels of voice PRI on a dial up basis Dial up occurs automatically at 64K or N*64K (Check w/your service provider Multiple users can access the Internet simultaneously Internet PRI PSTN To Digital Trunk Media Bay Module (Voice T-1) 9 CM 2.0 Data Capabilities 4.25.00
LAN Connections The Enterprise Edge Communications Manager can be configured with either one or two 10/100 auto-sensing LAN Network Interface Cards (NIC) 10 CM 2.0 Data Capabilities 4.25.00
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Built-in DHCP server Allows for easier configuration of customers networks. Administered through Unified Manager. Built-in DHCP Relay Agent Allows pass through of DHCP traffic to and from LAN connected devices 11 CM 2.0 Data Capabilities 4.25.00
Domain Name Server (DNS) & Web Caching DNS Caching: Allows domain names to be resolved on the Enterprise Edge Communications Manager via Unified Manager Reduces traffic on the WAN by caching previously looked up names Proxy provides higher degree of security Web Caching: Stores previously surfed web pages on the Enterprise Edge to reduce WAN traffic Managed via Unified Manager 12 CM 2.0 Data Capabilities 4.25.00
Integrated Voice over Internet Protocol Gateway H.323 v2 VoIP compliant Industry standard codecs - G711 - G.723.1 - G.729 with Annex B (Silence Suppression) and Annex A Interworking Voice Codecs run on DSP hardware to ensure voice quality - Offload processing intensive tasks from processor and Windows NTE Inter-working Meridian 1 Internet Telephony Gateway (ITG) and Peer-to-Peer H.323 client devices treated as IP trunk calls - e.g. NetMeeting Client IP Network VoIP Trunks are treated as simply another Route Dynamic routing via IP or PSTN based on Routing codes or number dialed (Automatic Route Selection) User flexibility in route choice or by administration Fallback to PSTN on call setup via Least Cost Routing during network congestion Toll Bypass and Improved Bandwidth Management 13 CM 2.0 Data Capabilities 4.25.00
Voice over IP Quality of Service (QoS) Customer controlled QoS Thresholds set in administration on per link basis - translation of Delay and Packet Loss to Measure of Service (MoS) on scale of 1-5 QoS Operation MoS performance verified for each link prior to call setup If MoS threshold not met, call is routed to next least cost route (i.e. PSTN) 1. Network is checked prior to call setup Data (VoIP) Corporate Frame Relay Data (VoIP) 2. Calls automatically overflow PSTN across PSTN 14 CM 2.0 Data Capabilities 4.25.00
Rock-Solid Security Five Proxy Firewall Security Systems HTTP, SOCKS, IPX-WINSOCK, NAT and DNS Single IP address to the Internet (Network Address Translation-NAT) Blocks all other Internet packets from entering network Internet TCP/IP Private LAN becomes invisible to Internet Virtually unhackable LAN 15 CM 2.0 Data Capabilities 4.25.00
Summary Reduction in communications costs Reduction in hardware Robust Data Services Firewall: NAT Routing IP, IPX Protocols: Static, RIP1, RIP2, OSPF WAN access: Dial up on demand using PSTN Nail up via X21 & V.35 PPP CHAP, PAP Frame Relay: 1008 DCLIs Performance 120 kps, LAN to LAN IP Packet Filtering by: TCP port, UDP port, IP Protocol ID, Source address, Destination address, ICMP type and ICMP code Stateful Packet Filters for: H.323, Telnet, HTTP, POP3, SMTP, FTP, SNMP and ICMP 16 CM 2.0 Data Capabilities 4.25.00
