The LB-2 is Dual Wan Redundant Firewalla firewall that combines high bandwidth
sharing solutions, network security, load balance and
redundancy. It's a perfect choice for small and medium
businesses. It also has network management features that
are essential for an efficient and safe security policy.
All at a price that you can afford.
Integrated
firewall and network solution in one device. The
LB-2 comes with packet inspection, NAT, intruder
detection, URL filter, control and block access features
and distinct user policies (5 different user groups).
The LB-2 supports most of the popular high bandwidth
connections, including cable, DSL, static and dynamic IP
and PPPoE. It is a 4-port switch and DHCP server/client
that provides safe internet connection
sharing.
Economy, speed and
stability The LB-2 has 2 redundant WAN ports that
offer a powerful load balance function. It allows you to
trade a high cost internet connection for two high
bandwidth connections (more economical). With
both connections working at the same, the LB-2 will take
advantage of the two connections speeds simultaneously
with load balancing. It can offer connection failover so
that every time one connection fails the LB-2 will use
the other automatically. It is also an ideal product for
those who need QoS (Quality of Service), being
able to establish priority traffic for critical
applications.
The LB-2 uses dual high
performance WAN ports. Those 2 WAN ports allow:
Redundancy and automatic failover on both high bandwidth
connections QoS (Quality of Service), being able to
assign how internet sharing is divided between both
connections. Load Balance Internet
Traffic
The LB-2 is a 4 LAN 10/100
port switch for you to share your cable/DSL connection
with up to 253 users on your LAN (using additional
switches and/or hubs).
The LB-2 incorporates a
high performance firewall to protect your business or
home network. It features SPI packet inspection which
detects and blocks DoS (Denial of Service) and
other malicious attacks.
The NAT (Network Address
Translation) feature performs the translation of
network addresses and ports. This ensures the privacy of
your internal network IPs and requires only one internet
IP for your entire network.
The LB-2 allows you to
block and control access to undesirable sites. This
prevents users from improperly using the internet at
work.
The DMZ (demilitarized
zone) feature supports applications that demand
bidirectional data transmission over the internet, and
also allows a server/PC on the LAN to act as an
independent node that communicates with the internet in
both directions, like web servers. Except for the DMZ,
bidirectional communication with the internet is not
allowed by the firewall.
The Virtual Server feature,
with port forwarding, allows sharing LAN services, such
as email and FTP. With this feature external users can
access specific services on your
LAN.
The LB-2 supports multiple
IP addresses for each WAN port and can map internet IPs
to a LAN computer.
With the LB-2 you can
create up to 5 distinct user groups with distinct
internet access and policies. For example, you can
create a group with full access, one that can access
only the internet and email, and another that doesnt
have any kind of internet
connection.
The LB-2 can act as a DHCP
server for your network. It can manage up to 253
IPs.
The LB-2 allows passing VPN
connections (PPTP, L2TP, IPSec) through the equipment.
It does not interfere with VPN tunnels between internal
and external users/servers.
The LB2 supports internet
communication applications such as games, VoIP, and
conferences that are usually hard to use behind a
firewall. The support for special applications allows
the use of some non-standard applications, where each
port used to respond is different from the port used to
issue a request.
If you have a dynamic IP
address, which changes at each connection or some other
interval, the DDNS feature stops you from having to
change the IP address manually on your equipment. This
way remote access, VPNs, and other services that depend
on IP addresses are not
interrupted.
