Data Sheet
AR18-2x
Access VPN provides secure tunnels for small-sized users like SOHO to access the resources of
company headquarters via PSTN/ISDN. AR 18-2x Series Router is mainly used at the access end of
VPN. It can provide a lot of VPN solutions, such as dynamic VPN, L2TP, GRE, IPSec, IKE as well as
MPLS VPN and will greatly reduce customers costs.
l Densest Ethernet Interface
AR 18-2x Series Routers provide densest 10/100MBASE-T Ethernet WAN interface. By configuring
Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE), hosts in LAN can access the Internet via Ethernet and
the monitoring and accounting functions can be implemented on every access host. Therefore, AR
18-2x Series is cost-effective and can be widely used in the construction of campus broadband
networks.
l High performance
AR 18-2X series router adopts advanced CPU and delivers high forwarding performance. It provides
wire-speed forwarding on Ethernet interface. In addition, the built-

The H3C AR 18-2x Series Ethernet Router is Ethernet broadband SOHO router. With plentiful fast
Ethernet interfaces, robust packet processing capability, abundant services and a streamline outlook,
H3C AR 18-2x Series Router features high cost-effective performance and can be applied in SOHO
solutions and SME as a branch router. This series includes AR 18-21/22/22S-8/22-24/18-21Amodels.
Currently, H3C AR 18-2x Ethernet Routers consist of three types in terms of LAN interface density:
l AR 18-21/18-22/18-21A (four LAN interfaces)
l AR 18-22S-8(eight LAN interfaces) features hardware encryption with high density LAN
interfaces.
l AR 18-22-24 (twenty-four LAN interfaces) has the densest LAN interfaces.
H3C AR 18-2x Series are Ethernet access routers, which provide 10/100BASE-Tx interface in the
uplink direction and 10/100BASE-T Ethernet interface in the downlink direction. Data exchange
between these ports is a layer 2 switching and port isolation can be implemented. In addition, the
built-in hardware encryption chip of AR 18-22S-8 greatly enhances the encryption performance.
