Quick Eagle Networks 5842 Specification Sheet

Quick Eagle Networks’ 5842 and 5844 Multiport Routers are ideal for medium-

sized businesses and enterprise branch offices that require high performance

and high port density at lower cost. 

The 5842 Multiport Router

TM

comes standard with 2 x T1/E1 WAN ports

enabled. However, its unique design allows your network to grow with your

business: it can be upgraded to 4 x T1/E1 WAN ports through software. No

waiting for hardware, no engineering time to perform the upgrade, and no

lengthy system downtime is required. The 5844 Multiport Router

TM

comes with

all 4 T1/E1 WAN ports activated

1.

Both routers deliver all the functions that 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 routers to link small and

large 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. 

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

provide the 5842 and 5844 Multiport Routers with the capability to bond multiple

T1/E1s into a single high-speed virtual link or enable load balancing

applications. The 5842 and 5844 Multiport Routers can also be deployed as a

MAC Learning Bridge (IEEE 802.1d) over Frame Relay or PPP.

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

Service) capabilities the 5842 and 5844 Multiport Routers allow 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 their virtually wire-speed performance, scalability in routing protocols,

breadth of features, and competitive pricing, there are now alternatives to those

traditional, high cost, proprietary branch office routers. 

When price and performance count.

Main Benefits:

•

Lowers cost of ownership through

integrated routing, CSU/DSU,

optional Quality of Service, and

network monitoring capabilities

•

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
