Functions and features
The G4051 is a VPN concentrator (Central Site Gateway) with a capacity of up to 400 simultaneous VPN tunnel connections. This means that up to 400 branch offices can be securely and authentically connected to the host environment.
Its modular and therefore highly flexible architecture allows expansion with additional interfaces, e.g. Ethernet and fibre.
The intelligent backup management, the complex firewall and various routing and authentication protocols provide a secure network connection for the host systems.
The high availability of the VPN concentrator is ensured by VRRP and the redundant power supply unit installed as standard.
The G4051, in a 19" design, is conveniently installed in a server rack in conjunction with a rack mount system.
Thanks to the quad-core CPU and the 4 GB main memory, the G4051 has sufficient performance reserves to connect even large networks at any time without any problems.
With the built-in LCD display, the most important device parameters are always in the foreground.
With the SFP port, you can expand the connection options flexibly and future-proof at any time.
All features in detail
- Modular software structure
The modular software structure offers the option of integrating customised/custom-developed software. - DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
A communication protocol that enables clients to retrieve and servers to assign the network configuration (client/relay/server) - Protocols
z. E.G. IP, TCP, UDP, PPP, ARP, RARP, ICMP - DNS (Domain Name System)
It manages the name space in networks, e.g. for converting domain names into IP addresses (client/relay/server). - Dynamic DNS
Dynamic DNS: It is used to dynamically update the IP address of a computer so that it can always be reached under the same name. - NTP (Network Time Protocol)
Standard for time synchronisation via networks (client/server) - Routing
Static routing (IPv4 forwarding)
Static routing (IPv6 forwarding)
Policy-based routing (PBR) - NAT (Network Address Translation)
Source and destination NAT/NAPT and masquerading - QoS (Quality of Service)
For prioritising data packets to meet the quality standard, especially for time-critical transmissions/applications - Real-time statistics and log function
- Syslog client
- TPM (Trusted Platform Module)
The TPM chip is comparable to a permanently installed smart card. The TPM protects cryptographic keys; these can be generated, used and securely stored within the TPM. It offers protection against software and hardware attacks (physical manipulation results in the destruction of the stored keys). In addition, the integrated random number generator (RNG) provides secure number sequences as the basis for securely encrypted communication. - Firewall
Zone-based stateful inspection firewall (IPv4/IPv6) with packet filter and demilitarised zone (DMZ);
Bridging firewall - OpenVPN
Free software based on OpenSSL for setting up a secure VPN via an encrypted connection. Both routed and bridged tunnels (client/server) are supported. - IPSec
Internet Protocol Security: for secure VPN communication via potentially insecure - L2TP (Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol), passthrough
Tunnelling protocol for transmitting the data link layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model between two networks - WireGuard
WireGuard uses the latest, particularly powerful cryptographic algorithms, e.g. the Noise Protocol Framework, Curve25519, ChaCha20, Poly1305, BLAKE2, SipHash24 or HKDF. WireGuard gets a further performance boost from the fact that the software is executed on the server side as a Linux kernel module. WireGuard uses only public keys for identification and encryption and can therefore dispense with a certificate infrastructure. - Hash algorithms
MD5, SHA1, SHA2 256/512 - Diffie Hellman Groups
Schlüsselaustausch zum Sichern: 1, 2, 5, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18

AES 128/192/256, Blowfish, Twofish 128/256, Serpent 128/256 - Number of VPN tunnels
The number of configurable VPN tunnels is not limited by the software. Depending on the application, up to
- 30 VPN tunnels (VR2020 series),
- 400 VPN tunnels (G3000 & G4000 series) and
- 5000 VPN tunnels (G5000 series) are possible.

- Management/configuration
Via the network using Command Line (SSH) and HTTPS as well as via Command Line (SSH) using the console port - Remote configuration/maintenance
If required, remote configuration/maintenance can be carried out using the TR-069 standard. Configuration via TDT C.O.R.E. is also possible. - Firmware update
Firmware updates can be realised via SSH, HTTPS and (TR-069). - SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)
SNMP is a network protocol that was developed to monitor and control network elements from a central station. - Checkmk agent
