ADTRAN Router Firewall

Compatible NetVanta routers include stateful inspection firewall functionality.

A stateful firewall tracks active network sessions and evaluates traffic against configured security policies.

Integrated firewall functionality can help protect business networks from unwanted inbound and outbound traffic.

ADTRAN Stateful Inspection Firewall

Stateful inspection analyzes traffic in the context of established connections rather than evaluating individual packets independently.

This can provide stronger traffic control than simple stateless filtering for many business internet deployments.

ADTRAN VPN Routers

VPN functionality allows businesses to securely connect networks across public internet services.

NetVanta VPN applications can include:

  • Branch-to-headquarters connectivity
  • Site-to-site networking

ADTRAN Ethernet Routers

Current NetVanta platforms use Gigabit Ethernet interfaces for flexible WAN and LAN connectivity.

Ethernet-based WAN services are common for:

  • Fiber internet handoffs
  • Carrier Ethernet
  • Business cable internet
  • Private WAN circuits
  • Internal routed links

ADTRAN Gigabit Ethernet Routers

Gigabit Ethernet interfaces allow ADTRAN routers to connect to modern business WAN and LAN infrastructure.

However, Gigabit interfaces do not automatically mean that every router can process a full Gigabit of inspected, encrypted, or routed traffic.

Router Port Speed vs. Router Throughput

Ethernet port speed and routing throughput describe different things.

Port speed: Maximum supported Ethernet interface rate.

Routing throughput: The amount of traffic the router can process under supported conditions.

Router performance can be influenced by:

  • Firewall inspection
  • VPN encryption
  • QoS
  • eSBC functionality

ADTRAN NetVanta 3148P PoE Budget

ADTRAN identifies a 200-watt PoE budget on the NetVanta 3148P.

The total required PoE power should be calculated before connecting multiple endpoints.

ADTRAN Routers and Wireless Access Points

A PoE-capable NetVanta router can provide direct network and power connectivity to compatible access points in smaller deployments.

Larger wireless environments will typically use separate PoE switches for greater port density and power capacity.

ADTRAN Routers and Network Switches

Routers and switches serve different roles in a network.

Router: Connects separate IP networks and provides WAN or internet connectivity.

Switch: Connects Ethernet devices within the local network.

A typical business architecture can include:

Internet or WAN → ADTRAN Router → ADTRAN Switches → Users, Phones, Access Points & Other Devices

ADTRAN Router Cellular Backup

  • Spare router hardware

ADTRAN Static Routing

Static routes manually define where traffic should be forwarded.

Static routing can be appropriate for smaller networks with predictable routing requirements.

ADTRAN Dynamic Routing

Selected NetVanta routers support standards-based dynamic routing protocols.

Dynamic routing allows network devices to exchange route information and adapt to topology changes automatically.

ADTRAN Routing Protocols

Supported routing protocols vary by model, software version, and licensing.

Organizations should verify protocol requirements when selecting a replacement or upgrade router.

ADTRAN VLAN Routing

ADTRAN routers can route between VLANs and network segments on compatible configurations.

VLAN routing can support separation between:

  • Users
  • Voice
  • Wireless
  • Security devices
  • Servers
  • IoT

ADTRAN 802.1Q VLAN Support

Compatible NetVanta routers support IEEE 802.1Q VLAN trunking.

This allows multiple VLANs to travel across one physical Ethernet interface.

ADTRAN NAT Routers

Network Address Translation allows internal private IP addresses to access external networks through public addressing.

NAT is widely used in business internet routing environments.

ADTRAN DHCP

Compatible NetVanta routers can provide DHCP services for local network clients.

DHCP can automatically distribute:

Fiber internet services commonly terminate with an Ethernet handoff.

Compatible NetVanta routers can accept these Ethernet services directly when interface type and performance requirements match.

ADTRAN Routers and Cable Internet

Business cable internet can connect to an Ethernet WAN interface on compatible NetVanta routers.

The router then provides firewall, NAT, QoS, VPN, and internal network connectivity.

ADTRAN Routers and Dual ISP Connections

Organizations requiring greater internet resilience can use supported designs involving multiple WAN connections.

Dual-provider deployments can help reduce dependence on a single ISP.

ADTRAN Routers and UPS Backup

Business routers can be connected to an appropriately sized UPS to maintain connectivity during short power interruptions.

UPS protection can be especially valuable when the router supports:

  • VoIP
  • VPN
  • Cloud applications
