Product Description
The BayStack Access Node (AN) routers cost-effectively connect small remote offices and ensure network availability while minimizing network-operating costs. The serial interfaces provide remote office network design flexibility. For mission-critical applications, they facilitate Dial Backup and Bandwidth-on-Demand support. In addition, Dial-on-Demand functionality enables ANs to extend network availability on an as-needed basis to small remote sites, minimizing WAN service costs. Optionally, Synchronous interfaces can be used for SDLC, allowing both IBM SNA and multiprotocol LAN traffic over one consolidated WAN link to the internetwork backbone. The AN easily integrates with the enterprise internetwork by supporting Bay Networks Routing Services (BayRS), which provides support for all major LAN and WAN protocols. The microprocessor, used in the AN's highly integrated design, easily maintains high forwarding and filtering rates regardless of the number of protocols and network interfaces used - even when processing SNMP management inquiries.
