Cisco RV315W

The Cisco® RV315W Wireless-N VPN Router provides highly integrated and reliable connectivity, with central management, to small businesses and franchises. The Cisco RV315W (Figure 1) integrates dual Gigabit Ethernet (GE) WAN ports, eight Fast Ethernet (FE) LAN ports with Wireless-N, and USB to fulfill the evolving requirements of small business customers. With TR-069, Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), and remote access capability, the Cisco RV315W can be quickly deployed, monitored, and maintained with central management tools in remote locations without local IT support. Dual WAN and 3G uplink with well-designed VPN redundancy help ensure a reliable connection anywhere, at any time. With a limited lifetime warranty, the RV315W offers the ideal combination of reliability and performance to support a growing business. Product Overview The Cisco RV315W Wireless-N VPN Router features: All-in-one network connectivity With eight FE LAN ports, dual GE WAN ports, and USB supporting a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) and Wideband CDMA (WCDMA) dongle, the Cisco RV315W is the perfect router to connect all the devices in a small business or franchise to the Internet, securely and reliably, with just a single device. Integrated 802.11n wireless with support for multiple service set identifiers (SSIDs) helps improve employee productivity and customer satisfaction by enabling employee mobility and Internet access for guests. Highly available VPN service With a hardware acceleration engine, the Cisco RV315W supports up to 50 VPN tunnels with nearly 100-Mbps throughput. In addition to this high level of scalability, the RV315W is designed with VPN redundancy to support continuous business operation over the VPN connection. The RV315W is able to keep VPN connections operational by switching between GE WAN and 3G connections in case of link failure, and switching over to a backup server in case of headend failure. Central management capability As your business grows, you need to manage an increasing number of remote sites or satellite locations. With TR-069, SNMP, and remote access capability, the Cisco RV315W can be quickly deployed, monitored, and maintained with central management tools without local IT support. Information on device status and the ability to push configuration parameters and perform remote firmware upgrades enables IT personnel at headquarters to proactively manage the network at all remote sites. Product Specifications Figures 2 and 3 show the front and back panels, respectively, of the Cisco RV315W. cenarios The following are some typical scenarios for the Cisco RV315W: Internet access with integrated VPN for small businesses Dual WAN for Internet connectivity: GE0 and GE1 can connect to the same or different Internet service providers (ISPs), for load balancing or redundancy in case of failure. Single WAN for Internet connectivity: GE0 can connect to an ISP, and GE1 can be configured as a GE LAN port, connecting to switches for more endpoint devices. 3G mobile wireless connectivity: The 3G capability can serve as emergency backup for the GE WAN ports or as an independent WAN connection when the RV315W is deployed in places where a landline Internet connection is not available. VPN access: Several locations can be connected through site-to-site VPN. Employees can also access the office network and resources with remote-access VPN. Branch VPN router for franchises Site-to-site VPN with dynamic public IP: The Cisco RV315W can serve as an Internet gateway with dynamic address (Point-toPoint Protocol over Ethernet [PPPoE], Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol [DHCP]) connecting to a VPN concentrator at corporate headquarters. Site-to-site VPN through Network Address Translation (NAT): The RV315W can be located behind the Internet gateway with a private IP address, connecting through NAT to a VPN concentrator at corporate headquarters. Site-to-site VPN over 3G: For remote locations where landline Internet is not available, the RV315W can provide VPN tunnels over 3G to enable deployment flexibility.
