Nortel DM1401A28: Contivity Extranet Switch 2500, 400 tunnels, 3 PCI slots, 56-bit encryption.
The Nortel DM1401A28 is a Contivity Extranet Switch 2500, configured for 400 concurrent VPN tunnels with three PCI expansion slots, dual 10/100 Ethernet LAN ports, server software with 56-bit encryption, and an unlimited-seat licence for the IPsec client software. The Contivity 2500 is a mid-range member of Nortel’s Contivity VPN gateway family, providing IPsec and other remote-access/site-to-site VPN termination for enterprise extranets; this 400-tunnel, 3-slot configuration sits between the smaller 1500-series units and the larger 4000/6000-series chassis in the same range. Contivity gateways of this generation remain in service in networks that have not migrated to a newer VPN platform, and genuine hardware/licence-matched spares are needed to maintain an existing deployment’s tunnel capacity. Confirm the exact tunnel count and encryption/licence configuration your deployment needs before ordering, since Contivity 2500 units shipped in several distinct configurations. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) stocks Nortel Contivity components to support ongoing network maintenance projects.
