Features
The HP AdvanceStack Router 650 provides high-performance local/
remote bridging and multiprotocol routing for interconnecting LANs and
WANs. It supports the following routing services:
TCP/IP
Novell IPX
DECnet Phase IV
AppleTalk Phase 2
Xerox XNS
Transparent Bridging with Spanning Tree
Translational Bridging
Source Route Bridging
Synchronous Pass-Through
If a packet arrives with an unsupported protocol, the router uses its
bridging capability to send the packet toward its destination. This allows
full support for environments where non-routable, uncommon, or
unsupported protocols may exist.
The router can accomodate up to four interface cards, such as the HP
J2434A 4-Port WAN Interface. This interface card includes four WAN
ports supporting RS-232/V.24/V.28, RS-422/RS-449/V.36, V.35, or X.21
interfaces. These provide direct point-to-point, PPP, and ISDN connec-
tions to other routers. WAN support includes private, public, or hybrid
networks using X.25, Frame Relay, SMDS, and ISDN, over point-to-point
and/or switched circuits, with support for dial connections.
For a list of all interface cards that can be installed in the router, refer to
the HP Network Connectivity Product Catalog.
A console port allows access to the router by a terminal, or by a terminal
emulator on a personal computer. Through this interface, you can
configure, monitor, and troubleshoot the routers. This RS-232 console
interface can be accessed either locally, or remotely through a modem.
The baud rate is automatically detected. Also, enhancements to the
router’s operating system can be downloaded to the router through this
port.
