8. Network and System Management
This chapter describes the tools for managing the network traffic to optimize its performance and
the system management features of the VPN firewall. This chapter contains the following
sections:
Performance Management
System Management
Performance Management
Performance management consists of controlling the traffic through the VPN firewall so that
the necessary traffic gets through when there is a bottleneck and either reducing
unnecessary traffic or rescheduling some traffic to low-peak times to prevent bottlenecks
from occurring in the first place. The VPN firewall has the necessary features and tools to
help the network manager accomplish these goals.
Bandwidth Capacity
The maximum bandwidth capacity of the VPN firewall in each direction is as follows:
LAN side. 4000 Mbps (four LAN ports at 1000 Mbps each)
WAN side
- Load balancing mode. 4000 Mbps (four WAN ports at 1000 Mbps each)
- Auto-rollover mode. 1000 Mbps (one active WAN port at 1000 Mbps)
- Single-WAN port mode. 1000 Mbps (one active WAN port at 1000 Mbps)
In practice, the WAN side bandwidth capacity is much lower when DSL or cable modems are
used to connect to the Internet. At 1.5 Mbps, the WAN ports support the following traffic
rates:
Load balancing mode. 6 Mbps (four WAN ports at 1.5 Mbps each)
Auto-rollover mode. 1.5 Mbps (one active WAN port at 1.5 Mbps)
Single WAN port mode. 1.5 Mbps (one active WAN port at 1.5 Mbps)
As a result, and depending on the traffic that is being carried, the WAN side of the VPN
firewall is the limiting factor to throughput for most installations.
