Quick Eagle Networks 5840 Specification Sheet

Quick Eagle’s 5840 Multiport Router

TM

is ideal for medium-sized businesses and

enterprise branch offices that need routers that can scale as the network

requirements grow without having to add more hardware. 

With its high port density, the 5840 Multiport Router delivers all the functions you

need in a branch office router: The ability to configure static routes, and one or

more dynamic routing protocols like RIP1, RIP2, OSPF, and optional BGP-4,

enables the router to link enterprise networks with advanced IP routing services,

such as multipaths and path redundancy.

Static NAT, dynamic NAT, and overloading (NAPT) lets you access the Internet

using your private IP addresses. A stateful inspection firewall permits or denies

access based on source and destination IP addresses. The embedded network

performance monitoring features enable protocols and applications monitoring

(RMON-1, RMON-2) and Frame Relay Service Level Verification. 

In addition to its wealth of standard features, the 5840’s unique architecture

provides the flexibility to meet the most demanding and evolving business

requirements: Enabling your network to grow with your business, the 5840

Multiport Router can be upgraded for added bandwidth (up to 12 Mbps with 8 T1

or 16 Mbps with 8 E1 WAN ports) through software. No waiting for hardware, no

engineering time to perform the upgrade, and no lengthy system downtime is

required. 

Multilink PPP (RFC1990) and Multilink Frame Relay (FRF.16.1) protocols

provide the 5840 Multiport Router with the capability to bond multiple T1/E1s

into a single high-speed virtual link or enable load balancing applications. The

5840 Multiport Router can also be deployed as a MAC Learning Bridge (IEEE

802.1d) over Frame Relay or PPP.

With its optional standard-based DiffServ QoS (Differentiated Services/Quality Of

Service) capability the 5840 Multiport Router allows you to control and manage the

bandwidth on your WAN connection, eliminating bottlenecks for your business-

critical applications such as ERP and CRM. In addition, DiffServ QoS enables

delay-sensitive voice and video-over-IP services, while dedicating enough

bandwidth for lower priority traffic.

With its excellent performance, scalability in routing protocols, breadth of

features, and competitive pricing

, there is now an alternative to those

traditional, high cost, proprietary branch office routers. 

When port density counts.

Main Benefits:

•

Uses software feature keys to

scale WAN port configuration

without the need for expensive

hardware upgrades

•

Improves network reliability and

performance through load sharing

and load balancing in a

multihoming environment

•

Offers flexible interfaces that can

be deployed as independent links

or bundled into one or more

MLPPP or MLFR bundles

•

Supports broad range of routing

protocols such as static routing,

RIP1, RIP2, OSPF, optional 

BGP-4, IGMPv3, and GRE

•

Reduces access cost by

integrating NAT services for

Internet access 

•

Better performance than many

traditional branch office routers

due to integrated hardware and

software architecture

•

Lowers cost of ownership through

integrated routing, CSU/DSU,

optional Quality of Service, and

network monitoring capabilities
