Add VLAN Port
Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) can be described as a tag‐based LAN multiplexing
technology’because through the use of IP header tagging, VLANs can simulate multiple
LAN’s within a single physical LAN. Just as two physically distinct, disconnected LAN’s are
wholly separate from one another, so too are two different VLANs, however the two VLANs
can exist on the very same wire. VLANs require VLAN aware networking devices to offer this
kind of virtualization – switches, routers and firewalls that have the ability to recognize,
process, remove and insert VLAN tags in accordance with the network’s design and security
policies.
VLAN in 802.1Q is supported.

SLB
Server load balancing (SLB) features are designed to give you flexible options to maximizing
performance of your applications.
Overview
The XPoint series of application delivery, load balancing and DDoS protection solutions
accelerate, optimize and secure global applications.
Server Loading Balancer
Complete solution for server load balancing. Monitoring the health status of servers to ensure
high availability by automatically distributing application requests to servers with optimal
performance.
SSL Offloading
SSL offloading takes all the processing of SSL encryption and decryption off the main Web
server and moves it to XPoint AppScaler system which allows the performance of the main
Web server to increase and it handles the SSL certificate efficiently. SSL Offloading is
CPU-intensive, in our hardware models with specialized ASIC chip SSL accelerator you don't
need to worry about the performance.
Single Sign On
Provide credential proxying for the end users to enter their credential once to access their
secured web applications. Upon successful completion of the access policy, the user identity is
saved. The SSO feature can eliminates the need for users to enter their credentials multiple
times.
Content Switching
Provide the advanced content switching to requests sent to the same Web host to different
servers with different content.
Web Application Firewall
Provide protection against a broad range of threats – including known malware signatures,
advanced persistent threats, intrusion attempts, zero-day attacks and more..
AppScaler Administrator User Guide
Optimized Application Delivery
Provide enhanced application performance through various application optimization
technologies including tcp multiplexing, content compression, built-in cache system and much
more.
Flexible Network Integration
Support inline and one-arm physical deployment mode as either Layer 2 device or packet
forwarder device. It can be deployed in multiple networks like VLAN, VXLAN. Also it
provides full IPv6 support.
