New hardware architecture, high-speed data forwarding

1. A new generation of high-performance hardware architecture

The TL-NR9208B-7C-BU adopts a new hardware architecture, with a single TL-NR9208B-7C-BU built-in one Tiger Lake i7 processor network-specific processor, with 32MB flash memory and 16GB DDRIV high-speed memory, greatly improving the packet processing capacity and effectively meeting the high-speed data forwarding requirements in high-bandwidth environments. In the actual environment, the typical number of units of the whole machine is as high as 20,000 units.

Each TL-NR9208B-7C-BU provides 2 10 Gigabit SFP+ fiber module expansion ports, 6 10/100/1000M RJ45 ports, can customize the port type, bind a variety of logical interfaces, configure multiple different types of lines, and provide 1 console port, 1 MGMT port and 2 USB 2.0 ports to adapt to more complex networking environments.

2. Comprehensive security protection mechanism

Access control: Support access control policies, and set firewall rules to control internal and external network communication security.

Quadernary binding: supports quadruple binding of IP addresses, MAC addresses, VLANs, and ports to filter data packets.

ARP protection: ARP protection is supported against ARP spoofing and ARP flood attacks, such as gateway spoofing and man-in-the-middle attacks, which are common in LANs.

IP source protection: IP source protection is supported to prevent illegal address spoofing, including MAC address spoofing, IP spoofing, and MAC/IP spoofing.

DoS protection: DoS protection is supported, such as Land Attack, Scan SYNFIN, Xmascan, and Ping Flooding.

3. A variety of VPNs to ensure the security of remote data transmission

Support IPSec VPN to encrypt confidential data of enterprises and branches to ensure data security; A single TL-NR9208B-7C-BU can support up to 200 IPSec VPN tunnels.

It supports PPTP/L2TP VPN, which is convenient for employees on business trips and mobile workers to remotely access the internal server of the enterprise and realize remote work. A single TL-NR9208B-7C-BU can establish 200 PPTP/L2TP VPN tunnels.

4. Powerful access authentication mode

It supports account binding and automatic translation functions, and can translate local accounts into carrier accounts and submit them to the dialing device

Web authentication: Local authentication, Radius authentication, and one-click Internet access are supported, and you can customize jump pages to implement ad pushing.

SMS authentication: It meets the requirements of real-name authentication and can be used for secondary marketing based on mobile phone numbers.

IPoE and PPPoE servers: meet the requirements of intranet users for unified dial-up Internet access.

The authentication function is optimized for more powerful performance.

Third-party authentication system: You can access a third-party authentication system.

5. Efficient online behavior management

Built-in database of common Internet applications, which can control various desktop and mobile Internet applications with one click, including social software, video software, music software, shopping and leisure software, news and information software, P2P software, financial software, online games, app stores, basic applications, etc.

One-click control of common applications: Built-in 4 categories, 36 sub-categories, and 3,500 kinds of applications, which can control various PC and mobile Internet applications with one click, and standardize Internet behavior.

One-click restriction of website access: Built-in database of more than 300 URLs in 13 categories, one-click restriction of users' access to the corresponding website.

Prohibit web submissions: Restrict users from logging in to various web-based forums, microblogs, emails, etc., to publish information to avoid the leakage of sensitive data.

Filter file expansion type: Efficiently filter all kinds of small files embedded in web pages to prevent viruses and Trojan horses from invading the network and endangering network security.

Behavior audit: Comprehensively record online behaviors and output audit results in a report.

6. Flexible flow control strategy

Intelligent IP bandwidth control: Two-way bandwidth control can be performed for each host (IP) in the network to ensure smooth network operation at all times.

Multi-line load balancing and line backup: WAN/LAN interfaces can be flexibly configured, and rich traffic balancing functions are supported: intelligent traffic steering, special application traffic steering, ISP traffic steering, and interface line backup is supported.

IP-based connection limit: You can limit the number of connections on each computer and reasonably allocate the limited number of NAT connection resources.

7. Integration of wired and wireless applications

Built-in AC function: AC wireless control, which is both a router and a wireless controller, can manage 3000 TP-LINK AP products in a unified manner to form an enterprise-level wireless network.

It can automatically discover the TP-LINK AP in the network, and uniformly configure and manage the AP, so as to realize zero-configuration AP access and plug-and-play. At the same time, it supports AP status monitoring and upgrade, and is easy to maintain.

Support optical fiber access: support gigabit and 10 gigabit optical interfaces, and flexibly match network access.

Copper cable access is supported.

8. More practical functions

DDNS & Virtual Server: TP-LINK DDNS*, Peanut Shell, Kemai, and 3322 dynamic domain name services are supported, making it easy to build intranet servers and private websites.

UPnP and ALG service functions: ensure that special network applications can smoothly penetrate NAT.

Full Chinese WEB management interface: management and maintenance are more convenient and fast.

Log list: records the network running status in detail.

Ping and Tracert fault detection tools help you quickly find and troubleshoot network faults.

RTC: Real-Time Clock (RTC) is supported to ensure that the device time is normal after the power is turned off and restarted.

File sharing: Provide 2 USB 2.0 ports for easy file sharing.
