The NetVanta Solution

ADTRAN’s NetVanta 2000 Series of virtual private network (VPN) products includes small to mid-range

IP Security (IPSec) compliant gateways providing all the necessary components required to secure an

integrated VPN solution. With their built-in stateful inspection firewalls, these components protect the

corporate network against attack and provide data security through encryption, authentication, and key

exchange. Table 1 describes the primary uses of the NetVanta 2000 Series.

Security

The NetVanta 2000 Series provides key security and data management features such as IPSec VPN

tunneling, stateful inspection firewall (providing cyber assault protection), authenticated remote user

access, and Network Address Translation (NAT). Adherence to IPSec standards (established and

maintained by the IETF) makes the NetVanta 2000 Series interoperable with many other IPSec-compliant

gateways, allowing for a multi-vendor VPN solution.

Protection Against Attacks

The NetVanta 2000 Series protects the corporate network against attacks with a built-in firewall and

provides data security through encryption, authentication, and key exchange. The NetVanta 2000 Series

employs a stateful inspection firewall that protects an organization's network from common cyber attacks

including TCP syn-flooding, IP spoofing, ICMP redirect, land attacks, ping-of-death, and IP reassembly

problems.
