Linksys RV016 Overview:
10/100 16-Port VPN Router
The Linksys 10/100 16-Port VPN Router is an advanced
Internet-sharing network solution for your small business
needs. Like any router, it lets multiple computers in
your office share an Internet connection, but the 16
ports on this Router feature unprecedented versatility.
Two are dedicated Internet ports that let you connect
a second Internet line as a backup to ensure that you're
never disconnected. Or, you can use both Internet ports
at the same time, and let the router balance your office's
requirements between them for maximum bandwidth efficiency.
Not enough? Up to five of the thirteen full-duplex switched
10/100 Ethernet ports can be reconfigured as Internet
ports, for an up to seven-port failover or load balanced
redundancy! Finally, a dedicated DMZ port gives you
a publicly accessible channel so you can set up a web
or FTP server, unimpeded by the powerful security features
of the Router.
The Virtual Private Network (VPN) capability creates
encrypted "tunnels" through the Internet, allowing up
to 50 remote office or traveling users to securely connect
into your office network from off-site. Users connecting
through a VPN tunnel are attached to your company's
network -- with secure access to files, e-mail, and
your intranet -- just as if they were in the building.
You can also use the VPN capability to allow users on
your small office network to securely connect out to
a corporate network.
The 10/100 16-Port VPN Router can serve as a DHCP
Server, and has a powerful SPI firewall to protect your
PCs against intruders and most known Internet attacks.
It can be configured to filter internal users' access
to the Internet, and has IP address filtering so you
can specify exactly who has access to your network.
Configuration is a snap with the web browser-based configuration
utility.
As the heart of your small office network, the connection-redundant
Linksys 10/100 16-Port VPN Router gives you the connection
reliability your business needs.
