The Vigor2955 SSL VPN Security Firewall is a broadband router with high throughput, high capacity VPN capabilities and dual-WAN interface. It provides policy-based load-balance, fail-over and BoD (Bandwidth on Demand) , and also integrates IP layer QoS, NAT session/bandwidth management to help users control and allocate the bandwidth on networks. With a dedicated VPN co-processor, the hardware encryption of AES/DES/3DES and hardware key hash of SHA-1/MD5 are seamlessly handled, thus maintaining maximum router performance. For remote teleworkers and inter-office links, the Vigor2955 supports up to 200 simultaneous VPN tunnels (such as IPSec/PPTP/L2TP protocols)and 50 sessions of SSL VPN.

It allows users to access Internet and combine the bandwidth of the dual WAN to speed up the transmission through the network. Each WAN port can connect to different ISPs, Even if the ISPs use different technology to provide telecommunication service (such as DSL, Cable modem, etc.). If any connection problem occurred on one of the ISP connections, all the traffic will be guided and switched to the normal communication port for proper operation.

Without the necessity of installing VPN client on individual PC, the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) virtual private network (VPN) facility lets remote workers connect to the office network at any one time. SSL is supported by standard web browsers such as FireFox and IE. For users of small offices and teleworkers who need to access enterprises's internal applications, file server and file sharing, Vigor2955 security router series allow up to 50 concurrent SSL sessions.

The Vigor2955 also provides high-security firewall options with both IP-layer and content based protection. The DoS/DDoS prevention and URL/Web content filter strengthen the security outside and inside the network. The enterprise-level CSM (Content Security Management) enables users to control and manage IM (Instant Messenger) and P2P (Peer to Peer) applications more efficiently. The CSM hence prevents inappropriate content from distracting employees and impeding productivity. Furthermore, the CSM can keep office networks threat-free and available. With CSM, you can protect confidential and essential data from modification or theft.
