Chapter 1: Introduction
As Internet becomes essential for your business, the only way to prevent your Internet connection from failure
is to have more than one connection. PLANET’s Gigabit Multi-Homing VPN Security Router, MH-3400,
reduces the risks of potential shutdown if one of the Internet connections fails. Moreover, it allows you to
perform load-balancing by distributing the traffic through three or four WAN connections.
In addition to a multi-homing device, PLANET’s Gigabit Multi-Homing VPN Security Router provides a
complete security solution in a box. The policy-based firewall, content filtering function and VPN connectivity
with 3DES and AES encryption make it a perfect product for your network security. No more complex
connection and settings for integrating different security products on the network is required.
Bandwidth management function is also supported to offers network administrators an easy yet powerful
means to allocate network resources based on business priorities, and to shape and control bandwidth
usage.
