The DFL-1600 VPN Firewall delivers complete network protection and Virtual Private Network (VPN) services for large businesses. Through robust security features, flexible configuration and maximum network protection, it offers a high return on investment to businesses that demand high performance at competitive prices.

Within an industrial chassis, the DFL-1600 VPN firewall offers an impressive set of hardware features that include a high-speed processor, a large database and a powerful firewall engine that can handle up to 400,000 concurrent sessions. The DFL-1600 includes multiple user-configurable Gigabit ports for flexible, scalable and cost effective network deployments with fail-over and outbound load balancing1. In addition, two DFL-1600 firewalls can be installed in parallel for redundancy: the passive one serving as back-up in case of the failure of the active one (High Availability). 1functionality available in an upcoming firmware update

The DFL-1600 includes a special feature called ZoneDefense - a mechanism that operates seamlessly with D-Link xStack switches to perform proactive network security. ZoneDefense automatically quarantines infected computers on the network and prevents them from flooding the network with malicious traffic.

The DFL-1600 offers two levels of Intrusion Prevention: - Basic: countering well-known threats and periodically updated, this level is included free of charge. - Advanced: using component-based signature technology, designed to detect unknown network attacks (zero-day protection) and updated in real time via the D-Link NetDefend Centre, which is included free of charge for a 3 month period and which is then available after this time as a purchase subscription.

The DFL-1600 provides advanced traffic shaping technology, allowing administrators to prioritise and differentiate network traffic and set bandwidth limits. Furthermore, the DFL-1600 supports Server Load Balancing (SLB), which allows network service demands to be shared among multiple servers, thus improving application performance and scalability.

The DFL-1600 can be remotely managed via a web-based interface or CLI through the RS-232 console port or a Secure Shell (SSH) connection. It includes flexible features to monitor and maintain a healthy and secure network, such as e-mail alerts, system log and real-time statistics. These features, along with the ability for firmware upgrade, ensure that your firewall can provide and maintain maximum performance and security for your network.

The DFL-1600 has passed rigorous testing by ICSA Labs, to achieve both Corporate-Level Firewall Certification and IPSec 1.2 Enhanced Certification. These are recognised worlwide as the benchmark for network security industry excellence. Testing is performed against an industry-approved set of criteria and is periodically reviewed to ensure that the vendor has continued to develop a secure product that meets all the criteria. In addition, the DFL-1600 has passed the Virtual Private Network Consortium (VPNC) AES Interoperability test, ensuring that the firewall is generally interoperable with other IPsec systems when using the AES encryption algorithm.

As competition grows for customers in the marketplace, enterprises are relying on technology to help them differentiate their business. Many of the applications used to provide services and increase productivity require reliable, secure communications. Network resiliency, security of data, and application-driven performance are the mainstays of a network built to provide services.

Aggregating network traffic from wiring closets and servers provides increased network performance and aids in troubleshooting. By aggregating wiring closet traffic into a hardware-based routing switch, inter-network traffic can be routed at wire-speed, ensuring application response times, required by bandwidth-sensitive applications, are met. Additionally, fewer high-speed router ports are required since high-speed wiring closet links are consolidated before connecting to the WAN router. Troubleshooting is made easier by providing clear distinctions for traffic segmentation.

The Passport 1600 series is a high-performance fixed port Layer 3 solution that provides the resilience, performance, and security required by today's application and competition-driven enterprise networks. Delivering application performance with proven reliability allows businesses to differentiate themselves with tools for everything from customer service to productivity or collaboration. Resiliency delivers maximum availability critical for bandwidth-sensitive and revenue-generating applications. Application performance decreases the chance that data will be dropped when traffic load increases on the switch. Security features provide added protection for switch configuration data, while packet filtering helps secure and segment sensitive traffic or network access.
