MP2800 extends features of Maipu broadband-narrowband routers and provides several high-speed multi-function slots to access Nx64K, 2M and Nx2M narrowband lines and realize MODEM, ISDN and ADSL dial backup schemes. The fast-forwarding engine technology developed by Maipu makes WAN 100M line interface reach wire-speed forwarding supporting the extension of WAN line bandwidth to 100M in advance.

 

Lower MP2800 series router assigns traffic to balance load by providing two or above lines on access/network nodes to reach one upper server. When some lines become invalid, traffics can be re-assigned to other lines.

Inbuilt dial-up modem/console port is connected to an external dial-up modem for remote login. Switch to remote configuration mode via button. Then users and manufacturers can maintain devices anywhere via telephone line dial-up to realize "Zero-spot service". MP2800 supports Maipu intelligent NMS for diagnosing and fixing router faults, automatically generating a record for users to query. In this way, it reduces management and maintenance work of users considerably.

 

The router provides inbuilt and highly efficient hardware encryption engine. The encrypting data does not occupy bandwidth and CPU of the router system realizing that high-speed encryption does not affect data forwarding efficiency. For widely-used IP private line, encrypting data via WAN is the safest method of ensuring the security of important data.

 

All Ethernet interfaces of MP2800 support L2/L3 technology to realize the control for different networking modes and services, avoiding poor control capacity caused by using Layer-2 switch and the problem that adopting routers occupies lots of IP addresses. In this way, we can simplify network configuration and strengthen management and control capacity of network for services.

 

MP2816 and MP2818 models are configured with 2+24 100M Ethernet ports to access network terminals, PC and video terminals. Users do not need to purchase Ethernet switches, saving network investment and reducing faults. Considering there are some dumb terminals to access, MP2800 has extension slots which can be extended to up to 64 asynchronous interfaces to access traditional terminals and large-capacity Ethernet devices in network nodes/branch offices.

 

The priorities of various services can be realized on specified bandwidth of MSTP 100M port. MP2800 supports narrowband lines and MSTP/MPLS broadband lines. For MSTP/MPLS, the lines are for 100M interfaces, but in fact, the bandwidth applied by users is only a part such as 2M, 5M, 10M, 20M and 50M. Inconsistency between interface bandwidth and practical bandwidth results in traditional QoS becoming invalid. S0 MP2800 router adopts hierarchical QoS on Ethernet ports to realize bandwidth control first, and then secondary bandwidth allocation for different services. The QoS service of MP2800 router supports RSVP, CAR and queue policies such as FIFO, PQ, CQ, FQ, CBWFQ and LLQ to ensure priorities of key services.

 

MP2800 supports MPLS, L2TP and IPsec, which can be used to deploy VPN networks from Layer 2 to Layer 3. When branch offices are inter-connected by various lines, multiple services can be born on a single physical network to ensure the security and save cost.

 

MP2800 integrates routing, switching, transmission, security, local storage and wireless. The series leads ways of edge routers - "Faster, more intelligent, more powerful". The inbuilt intelligent switch, firewall, VPN (including MPLS VPN, IPsec VPN and L2TP VPN), VoIP and transmission service modules construct a powerful intelligent platform for different service applications.

 

MP2800 is configured with inbuilt 802.1X and firewall. The series provides access authentication of users and network devices in branch offices and supports ACL packet filtering, NAT, certification audit, routing verification, callback and refusing service protection. The router is the first in China to realize SNA, DLSw and LLC2 protocols. It is compatible with network devices of main manufacturers in the industry.
