NETBuilder® software lies at the heart of the SuperStack® II
NETBuilder SI, OfficeConnect® NETBuilder, SuperStack II NETBuilder, and
NETBuilder II® product families. And as a key element of the 3Com TranscendWare™
strategy, it reduces WAN costs and provides network security and ease of
management. The software accommodates every size network, from two nodes to
thousands. It supports major WAN technologies to let you choose from a range of
public and private carriers, offering dial-in access to ISDN and the level of
security required for your network environment. In addition, NETBuilder software
delivers a wealth of robust bridging and routing features, including Boundary
Routing® system architecture and conventional routing of all LAN and WAN
protocols. For cost-effective full bridge/router functionality and security,
NETBuilder software is a must.
• The Remote Access Services (RAS) feature, available in
NETBuilder software encryption packages, gives users with Microsoft Windows
clients secure tunneling capabilities for savings on long-distance calling
charges
• Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) offers dynamic
fail-over mechanism, eliminating the single point of failure inherent in static
default-routed environments
• Virtual private network (VPN) tunnels with IP security (IPsec), Network
Address Translation (NAT), and built-in IP firewall meet your Internet,
intranet, and extranet security requirements and protect your network from
unauthorized access
• NETBuilder software supports all major routable
protocols—TCP/IP, Novell IPX, OSI, DECnet Phases IV and V, Banyan VINES,
AppleTalk Phase II, and APPN/HPR
• Sophisticated bandwidth grooming features, including bandwidth
aggregation, application reservation, and data prioritization let you maximize
use of WAN links while ensuring the timely delivery of delay-sensitive traffic
Included with each software package below is core software
consisting of bridging,
Boundary Routing system architecture, IP, IPX, PPP, data compression, dial
services, WAN services (Frame Relay, X.25, and SMDS), and ISDN
NETBuilder Platform Multiprotocol Software
For customers who need multiple LAN protocols and all WAN
protocols (including PPP, Frame Relay, X.25, and SMDS); software ships with
