Replacement Guide

Cisco 2851, 3825, 3845 and 7200 NPE-G1

The newly redesigned Rebel Router™ is Case Communication's entry level router for DS3/E3, BGP, and demanding ethernet applications. The new Rebel provides a 1U 19-inch steel rackmount chassis with embedded main board, high-performance memory, reliable flash storage, six 10/100/1000 ethernet ports, and two PCI expansion slots.

Each onboard GigE port has a dedicated x1 PCI Express bus for high throughput in demanding applications with pure VoIP and other small packet traffic. With the optional dual core CPU upgrade and Linux operating system, the new Rebel can forward over 1,000,000 PPS, which is up to 10 times faster than the previous design.

The PCI expansion slots accept Industrial Series network cards with ethernet, sync serial, T1/E1, DS3/E3, analog FXO/FXS, BRI, PRI, and 56K dial-up interfaces. With these add-on cards, the Rebel can connect different data and voice networks using a wide range of communications standards.

The base Rebel is guaranteed to route two DS3/E3 circuits at wire speed, 16 T1/E1 circuits at wire speed, or more than 100 Mbps full duplex with 64-byte packets over ethernet. With the optional CPU upgrade, the Rebel can deliver up to 70% higher ethernet throughput with VoIP traffic, and over 6 Gbps aggregate or 3 Gbps full duplex with large packets.

The Rebel takes advantage of a Linux™ router distribution, which provides support for NAT firewall security, IPsec and SSL virtual private networks (VPNs), quality of service (QoS), VoIP Gateway and SoftPBX, lawful intercept including CALEA, VLAN tagging, VRRP for LAN failover, dynamic routing, packet filtering, bridging, peer-to-peer traffic control, DSL aggregation, link bonding, Powercode OSS, and Netsweeper Web filtering. With the optional hard drive, the Rebel also supports Web caching and voicemail.

The Linux O/S also includes the Inetics platform, which provides a tightly integrated Linux kernel, management software, and the Inetics Driver Component Architecture (IDCA). IDCA supports WAN protocols including PPP, Cisco HDLC, frame relay, ATM, and SoftCell™ ATM and IMA. Inetics also makes it easy to troubleshoot LAN and WAN connections by providing real-time port status and performance monitoring.

The Rebel can be used by service providers at the network core, edge, or customer premise. Businesses can deploy the Rebel as an Internet gateway or WAN router with firewall security, VPN support, and VoIP gateway/SoftPBX services. The Rebel delivers superior performance and reliability in a low-cost 1U package that can be used where most Cisco 2800, 3800, and 7200 series routers are used. The Rebel is our lowest cost router for high-speed multihomed networks, DS3/E3 premise installations, and many other midrange networking applications.
