3COM 3C8827 OFFICECONNECT NETBUILDER 127K MULTIPROTOCOL ROUTER

The OfficeConnect integrated networking system is designed to take the worry out of building and running a branch office network. The OfficeConnect NETBuilder routers are designed to assist small and branch offices with installation and management, eliminating the need for on-site technical expertise. OfficeConnect NETBuilder routers ship with a built-in ICSA-certified firewall to ensure network security. The firewall includes easy-to-use predefined filters to guard against a number of known types of attacks. You can also define your own filters and use the on-board traffic simulator to send test packets through the firewall to confirm the configuration's security. NAT allows private TCP/IP networks to obtain Internet connectivity without reconfiguring end stations with publicly registered IP addresses. In addition to the security advantages of concealing the internal network address structure from public view, NAT greatly alleviates the administrative burden involved in granting selective Internet access to a large body of end users.
