Vigor 2600/X/W/We Info Vigor2600 ADSL Router Range The DrayTek Vigor 2600 range features highly specified ADSL routers combined with Firewall & Security facilities and packed with so many other advanced facilities not normally found in a router in this price range. Just compare the feature set ! Vigor 2600 Highlights Built-in ADSL modem - plugs directly into your ADSL-enabled line Universal Plug'n'Play (uPnP) for support of MSN Messenger (Downloadable f/w) Comprehensive Firewall - with keepstate facility, DoS/DDoS protection, IP anti-spoofing and user-configurable packet-filtering. Built-in native VPN facility with PPTP, L2TP, 3DES IPSec and MPPE encryption NAT Port redirection, forwarding and DMZ Multi-NAT facility - enables a one-to-one mapping of public to private IP addresses, with individual DMZ and port-formwarding. LAN-to-LAN linking via ISDN or VPN with support for multiple remote private subnets via single gateway VPN Passthrough for VPN client/server running behind the router 4-Port 10/100BaseT Ethernet Switch (with automatic uplink detection) for PC/Mac connection NAT port forwarding (For individual ports, ranges and DMZ) Support for non-NAT public subnets (multiple public IP addresses) WAN-Side IP address is selectable from all available addresses LAN Side IP address range fully configurable Automatic support for popular multimedia applications including Netmeeting & MSN Messenger for multiple LAN users. SNMP & Syslog control/logging/monitoring Dynamic DNS Posting, compatible with popular services Easy configuration, monitoring & control from web-interface Wireless Access Point (802.11b Ethernet) for wireless LAN (Vigor 2600We/W only) DNS Proxy/Cache & DHCP Server (with ability to fix allocations) ISDN Interface for dial-up access and ISP backup for ADSL (Vigor2600W/X only) ADSL Compatibility The Vigor2600 router has direct ADSL support - it plugs directly into an ADSL-enabled line with the supplied cable (normally via splitter/microfilter). No additional modem is required and the Vigor2600 will automatically adjust for regular ADSL, RADSL and downstream rates up to 8Mb/s. The Vigor2600 is suitable for both self-install ADSL (also known as 'wires only') and original-style BT-installed ADSL lines. The Vigor2600 is compatible with all ISPs in the UK and Channel Islands (excluding AOL & Compuserve who use their own proprietary authentication methods). The ISDN models (Vigor2600X / Vigor2600W - see later) are also ideal if you have ISDN now but expect to get ADSL at a later date - the same router will work on both types of lines. Bandwidth Utilisation Display The Vigor2600's LED indicators let you know what's happening. As well as LEDs to indicate line status, activity and switch port status/speed, four LEDs show the current broadband bandwidth utilisation. From left to right each LED indicates 0-128, 128-256, 256-512 and >512 Kilobits per second. You can also check router status, and adjust the configuration from your LAN or remotely from the Internet. Vigor2600 Enhanced Firewall The Vigor2600 includes full packet-level firewall facilities, not just the inherrent 'NAT' security and port-blocking of other routers. This includes 'keep state' packet methods; put simply, this means that when a packet is sent out, a reciprocal record is kept to allow a packet coming back in the opposite direction, but a default 'deny' policy means that any packet arriving which appears unsolicited won't get through. The Vigor2600 series also features automatic protection from Dos/DDos (Denial of Service/Distributed Denial of Service) attacks and IP anti-spoofing. User-definable filters also allow you to add additional protection to your connection. For added confidence, potential or foiled attacks are logged and can be reported via the router's syslog facility. Windows UPnP™ Compatible The Vigor2600 support Microsoft's uPnP technology. This is a protocol to enable applications behind the firewall to open ports necessary to communicate with remote users. This is of particular use with Peer-to-Peer (P2P) applications such as MSN Messenger. This enables users to make full use of user-to-user audio and video teleconferencing and application/screen sharing without having to manually set up 'open ports' or port redirections for each application and each user. Currently Microsoft offer uPnP on Windows XP only. uPnP is different from PnP, which Windows users have used for several years to enable PCs to recognise attached peripherals automatically. uPnP is about 'firewall discovery', gateway awareness at the O/S level, and automatic opening for traffic for applications. Multimedia Support Routers operating in 'NAT' mode often prevent users from operating the full features of multimedia communications programs such Microsoft Netmeeting™ and MSN Messenger™ V4.6. The Vigor2600 has special features to enable users to appreciate the full facilities of these programs, including voice/video calls and file transfer and regardless of the operating system in use. There is also support for ICQ and CuSeeMe, Vigor2600 VPN The Vigor2600's VPN facility enables you to connect your network (LAN) to another private network, via the public Internet, or for remote teleworkers to access your LAN securely via the Internet. A secure 'tunnel' is established and as you are making use of an existing Internet connection, there are no long distance phone charges or huge leased line costs typical of LAN links. The Vigor2600 supports industry standard PPTP and IPSec VPN protocols, with DES/3DES encryption. Each VPN tunnel can route to multiple private subnets at the remote site. Built-in Test & Diagnostics The Vigor2600 has a plethora of diagnostic and logging tools to help you monitor your router, line and keep it all running at top performance. The internal logs of the Vigor can be viewed at any time (via the telnet interface) as well as real-time reporting of NAT/DHCP allocations/mappings and line quality from the web interface. Vigor2600 Ethernet Switch The Vigor2600 has a built-in four-port Ethernet switch to connect to your PCs. It is auto-sensing (10/100BaseT) and can run full or half-duplex. Additionally, any of the ports will automatically detect a crossover cable, or uplink to another switch/hub and switch to 'uplink' mode when required - no need for crossover cables or special ports. If you have more than four PCs, you can easily uplink into a larger switch or hub. The Wireless models (W/We) have two aerials on the rear panel. Wireless Ethernet (2600W/We only) If you prefer the wireless approach, the Vigor2600We version has all of the Vigor2600's facilities plus a built-in Wireless Access Point. This means that any PC with a compatible Wireless adaptor can access both the Internet and other PCs on the network (wired or wireless). The Access Point supports the 802.11b Wireless Ethernet standard, 40 or 128bit encryption, MAC Address locking security, SSID stealthing and an enhanced 2.5Ghz bandwidth. ISDN Interface (Vigor2600X & 2200W only) The Vigor2600X and W variants adds an ISDN interface to the impressive feature list; this plugs directly into your ISDN digital line. If you do not have ADSL, the ISDN connection can be used as the router's primary internet connection; ideal if you have ISDN now but expect to get ADSL at a later late. The ISDN interface provides : Compatible with ISDN2e, & BT's Home/Business Highway lines Uses ISDN for shared Internet access (dial-on-demand) Automatic backup for Internet access during ADSL failure Direct Dial-up LAN-to-LAN connectivity (to another ISDN site) Remote 'teleworker' direct dial-in access to your LAN (via ISDN) Virtual TA facility for faxing and other CAPI facilities Syslog & SNMP For monitoring router activity, you can run a Syslog Daemon which will capture the activity output from the router. This Daemon program can run on a local PC or a remote one elsewhere on the Internet. DrayTek's own syslog daemon software for Windows is supplied with the router. The example syslog log below is a simulated example; exact reporting capabilities vary with model, but for example, DNS lookups by the Vigor can be monitored & logged. The Vigor2600 series also supports SNMP allowing an SNMP client to monitor the router's LAN activity, again locally or remotely.
