There are advanced features supporting secure network management (Firewall & CSM), bandwidth management (QoS, Session Limitation & Bandwidth Control), remote data access (VPN & SSL VPN), etc., making this router ideal broadband access devices for SOHO and business users.
The USB port allows connection with 3.5G USB modem as 2nd WAN and USB printer for printer sharing.
The 5 x Gigabit switch allowing faster sharing of larger files, such as video or media documents among network users.
The Vigor2955 is designed with object-based SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) firewall to detect malicious packets, such as Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, and prevent these from jeopardizing the internal home or office network thus ensuring upmost network security and reliability.
The Content Security Management (CSM) feature allows control of access to websites based on their content; for instance, websites with obscene or objectionable content can be blocked by the parents to ensure safe browsing by young children in the family. Furthermore, peer-to-peer applications that tend to consume big bandwidth and sessions can be managed easily by ticking the CSM options.
The Vigor2955 supports 200 x LAN-to-LAN VPN tunnels secure remote data access, such as inter office, or home-office communication with strong VPN functionality with all major VPN protocols: PPTP, IPSEC, L2TP and L2TP over IPSEC, including advanced DES, 3DES encryption engine and IKE automated key management, etc.
The dual WAN feature allows to create dual VPN tunnel for VPN load balance and fail-over.
Without the necessity of installing VPN client, Remote Desktop application, or File Explore on individual PC, the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) virtual private network (VPN) facility lets remote workers connect to the office network at any one time. SSL is supported by standard web browsers such as Firefox and Internet Explore. For users of small offices and teleworkers who need to access head office internal applications, file server and file sharing, Vigor2955 allows up to 50 concurrent SSL sessions.
The Vigor2955 supports up to 100 PC users for Smart Monitor. It can capture, filter and analyze network information for different purposes by integrating with Vigor2955. With Smart Monitor, the administrator can adopt the content that user cares and restore the data to readability information and produce various reports for reference.

| Authentication | Hardware-based MD5, SHA-1 | ||||
| Encryption | MPPE and hardware-based AES/DES/3DES | ||||
| RADIUS Client | Authentication for PPTP remote dial-in | ||||
| DHCP over IPSec | Because DrayTek add a virtual NIC on the PC, thus, while connecting to the server via IPSec tunnel, PC will obtain an IP address from the remote side through DHCP protocol, which is quite similar with PPTP | ||||
| Dead Peer Detection (DPD) | When there is traffic between the peers, it is not necessary for one peer to send a keep-alive to check for liveness of the peer because the IPSec traffic serves as implicit proof of the availability of the peer | ||||
| Smart VPN software Utility | Provided free of charge for teleworker convenience ( Windows environment) | ||||
| Easy of Adoption | No additional client or remote site licensing required | ||||
| Industrial-standard Interoperability | Compatible with other leading 3rd party vendor VPN devices | ||||
| Firewall | Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) | Outgoing/Incoming traffic inspection based on connection information | |||
| Content Security Management (CSM) | Appliance-based gateway security and content filtering | ||||
| Multi-NAT | You have been allocated multiple public IP address by your ISP. You hence can have a one-to-one relationship between a public IP address and an internal/private IP address. This means that you have the protection of NAT(see earlier) but the PC can be addressed directly from the outside world by its aliased public IP address, but still by only opening specific ports to it (for example TCP port 80 for an http/web server) | ||||
| Port Redirection | The packet is forwarded to a specific local PC if the port number matches with the defined port number. You can also translate the external port to another port locally | ||||
| Open Ports | As port redirection (above) but allows you to define a range of ports | ||||
| DMZ Host | This opens up a single PC completely. All incoming packets will be forwarded onto the PC with the local IP address you set. The only exceptions are packets received in response to outgoing requests from other local PC or incoming packets which match rules in the other two methods. The precedence is as follows : Port Redirection > Open Ports > DMZ |
||||
| Policy-based IP Packet Filter | The header information of an IP packet (IP or MAC source/destination addresses; source/destination ports; DiffServ attribute; direction dependent, bandwidth dependent, remote-site dependent | ||||
| DoS/DDoS Prevention | Act of preventing customers, users, clients or other computers from accessing data on a computer | ||||
| IP Address Anti-spoofing | Source IP address check on all interface: only IP address classified within the defined IP networks are allowed | ||||

| CLI (Command Line Interface, Telnet/SSH) | Remotely administer computers via the telnet | ||||
| DHCP Client/Relay/Server | Provides an easy-to configure function for your local IP network | ||||
| Dynamic DNS | When you connect to your ISP, by broadband you are normally allocated an dynamic IP address. i.e. the public IP address your router is allocated changes each time you connect to the ISP. If you want to run a local server, remoter users cannot predict your current IP address to find you | ||||
| Administration Access Control | The password can be applied to authentication of administrators | ||||
| Configuration Backup/Restore | If the hardware breaks down, you can recover the failed system within an acceptable time. Through TFTP, the effective way is to backup and restore configuration between remote hosts | ||||
| Port-based VLAN | Create separate groups of users via segmenting each of the Ethernet ports. Hence, they can or can't communicate with users in other segments as required | ||||
| Built-in Diagnostic Function | Dial-out trigger, routing table, ARP cache table, DHCP table, NAT sessions table, data flow monitor, traffic graph, ping diagnosis, trace route | ||||
| NTP Client/Call Scheduling | The Vigor has a real time clock which can update itself from your browser manually or more conveniently automatically from an Internet time server (NTP). This enables you to schedule the router to dial-out to the Internet at a preset time, or restrict INternet access to certain hours. A schedule can also be applied to LAN-to-LAN profiles (VPN or direct dial) or some of the content filtering options | ||||
| Firmware Upgrade via TFTP/HTTP/FTP | Using the TFTP server and the firmware upgrade utility software, you may easily upgrade to the latest firmware whenever enhanced features are added | ||||
| Remote Maintenance | With Telnet/SSL, SSH (with password or public key), browser (HTTP/HTTPS). TFTP or SNMP, firmware upgrade via HTTP/HTTPS or TFTP | ||||

| NTP | NTP client, automatic adjustment for daylight-saving time | ||||
| Policy-based Routing | Based on firewall rules, certain data types are marked for specific routing, e.g. to particular remote sites or lines | ||||
| Dynamic Routing | It is with routing protocol of RIP v2. Learning and propagating routes; separate settings for WAN and LAN | ||||
| Static Routing | An instruction to re-route particular traffic through to another local gateway, instead of sending it onto the Internet with the rest of the traffic. A static route is just like a 'diversion sign' on a road | ||||

Figure 3. SSL VPN with LDAP/RADIUS authentication Application
Without the necessity of installing VPN client on individual PC, the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) virtual private network (VPN) facility lets remote workers connect to the office network at any time. SSL is supported by standard web browsers such as FireFox and IE. For users of small offices and tele-workers who need to access enterprises' internal applications, file server and file sharing, Vigor2955 security router series allow up to 50 concurrent SSL sessions.
Figure 4. Extendability Application
Maximum degree of operational reliability
It allows users to access Internet and combine the bandwidth of the dual WAN to speed up the transmission through the network. Each WAN port can connect to different ISPs, even if the ISPs use different technology to provide telecommunication service (such as DSL, cable modem, etc.). If any connection problem occurred on one of the ISP connections, all the traffic can be guided and switched to the normal communication port for proper operation.
Figure 5. Dual WAN Application
Security without compromise
The Vigor2955 also provides high-security firewall options with both IP-layer and content based protection. The DoS/DDoS prevention and URL/Web content filter strengthen the security outside and inside the network. The enterprise-level CSM (Content Security Management) enables users to control and manage IM (Instant Messenger) and P2P (Peer to Peer) applications more efficiently. The CSM hence prevents inappropriate content from distracting employees and impeding productivity. Furthermore, the CSM can keep office networks threat-free and available. With CSM, you can protect confidential and essential data from modification or theft.
