Rapier Layer 3 Gigabit Switch Software Release 2.1.0 55
Rapier Switch Software Release 2.1.0
C613-10200-01 Rev A
Layer 3 LAN/WAN Routing
In addition to Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, the Rapier switch implements
almost all of the AR routing software suite from Allied Telesyn’s AR series of
routers, providing a wide array of multiprotocol routing, security and network
management features.
IP routing is performed at wire-speed. Other Layer 3 routing is performed by the CPU,
and increasing the routing load on the CPU decrease its performance.
Some features require the addition of WAN interfaces via NSMs and PICs
installed in the NSM bay on the rear of the switch.
Features provided by the AR routing software suite include:
■
IP routing
■
Network Address Translation (NAT) (not between switch ports)
■
Dynamic IP Address Assignment

IP Dynamic Filtering Firewall
■
IP Multihoming
