ProSafe Gigabit Quad WAN SSL VPN Firewall SRX5308 Reference Manual
Introduction 1-3
v1.0, April 2010
Quad-WAN Ports for Increased Reliability and
Outbound Load Balancing
The SRX5308 provides four broadband WAN ports. These WAN ports allow you to connect
additional broadband Internet lines that can be configured to:
• Load-balance between up to four lines for maximum bandwidth efficiency.
• Provide backup and rollover if one line is inoperable, ensuring that you are never
disconnected.
See “Network Planning for Multiple WAN Ports” on page B-1 for the planning factors to consider
when implementing the following capabilities with multiple WAN port gateways:
• Single or multiple exposed hosts.
• Virtual private networks (VPNs).
Advanced VPN Support for Both IPsec and SSL
The SRX5308 supports IPsec and SSL VPN connections.
• IPsec VPN delivers full network access between a central office and branch offices, or
between a central office and telecommuters. Remote access by telecommuters requires the
installation of VPN client software on the remote computer.

clients.
– Bundled with a single-user license of the NETGEAR ProSafe VPN Client software
(VPN01L).

• SSL VPN provides remote access for mobile users to selected corporate resources without
requiring a pre-installed VPN client on their computers.
– Uses the familiar Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol, commonly used for e-commerce
transactions, to provide client-free access with customizable user portals and support for a
wide variety of user repositories.
– Browser-based, platform-independent, remote access through a number of popular
browsers, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Apple Safari.
