LevelOne FBR-4000 has four WAN ports that allow you to provide network connectivity and proven ultimate redundancy for higher performance improvement. You can join your network to different Internet Service Providers in order to prevent at any single point of failure thus providing better reliable network interfacings.

Multiple WAN Ports
Contemporary trends towards strongly increased access of graphically rich Internet web sites and multimedia applications are resulting in higher consumption of Internet link resources. Thus bandwidth-starving users are constantly seeking ways to expand their bandwidths. The FBR-4000 enables up to 4 WAN ports to connect to the Internet for broadband services, based on users’ network environment, to increase total bandwidth. Also through bandwidth aggregation, your IT manager can seamlessly combine four WAN links into a virtual single high bandwidth line to the LAN.

Multi-Homing Structure
The FBR-4000 is able to determine the available bandwidth to a remote subnet through an access link, assign incoming and outgoing Internet traffic to the available access link, and detect failed access links and divert Internet traffic around them.

The benefit of FBR-4000’s multihoming feature is to achieve outbound load balancing and failover with NAT techniques instead of defining BGP routing tables or configuring any complicated routing protocols. This process will give your network administrator an easy way to manage their heavy-duty networks.

Smart WAN Load Balancing and Failover Solution
WAN load balancing is focused on WAN fault tolerance. The FBR-4000 Multi-WAN port router can provide reliable outgoing Internet access for employees and incoming access redundancy for public customers. Many load balancing types allow administrators to manage the load balancing methods best suited to the LAN environment and to maximize bandwidth across different connections. These load-balancing methods include: Least load, auto-learning, priority, round robin and weight round robin. The FBR-4000 also supports failover functions for connection redundancy. When a physical/logical link failure occurs or a routing failure happens or whenever the ISP goes down, FBR-4000 will automatically locate the problem and redirect the outgoing traffic to the other running WAN Link to ensure continuation of services.

VPN and QoS
The FBR-4000 provides corporate customers with secure, and end-to-end private network connection by public access, like Internet, to connect remote locations. This device supports IPSec server with brilliant throughput. There are different encryption methods to choose from DES, 3DES, GRE with the Autokey IKE, MD5 or SHA-1 authentication while deploying the VPN connections. The Load Balancer of FBR-4000 also supports QoS and traffic shaping by defining rules, which designate the minimum and maximum bandwidth to be allowed for traffic. With QoS features, businesses can allocate the bandwidth for critical traffic or applications.
