Key Features

Intelligent UDP Packet Broker: According to the vendor, ZoneRanger acts as an intelligent UDP packet broker, aggregating, inspecting, and validating network management traffic across firewall boundaries. It enables secure remote airgap network monitoring and enhances security through deep packet inspection (DPI).

Application Firewall Proxy: The vendor states that ZoneRanger serves as a firewall proxy, allowing the extension of network management coverage to any device, regardless of its location. It enables confident deployment of management applications in traditional DMZ, hybrid-trust, and zero trust networks.

Automated Network Address Translation: According to the vendor, ZoneRanger supports application-level Network Address Translation (NAT) to resolve duplicate or overlapping IP networks. It automates the translation of network addresses, ensuring seamless communication between devices with overlapping IP addresses/ranges.

TLS Encryption: The vendor claims that all management traffic aggregated by ZoneRanger is transmitted via an encrypted 256-bit TLS tunnel, ensuring secure transmission and protecting sensitive data from unauthorized access.

TCP and UDP Protocol Connections: The vendor states that ZoneRanger supports a wide range of TCP and UDP protocol connections, enabling seamless communication between management applications and devices using different protocols, such as FTP, HTTPS, ICMP, Netflow, NTP, RADIUS, SCP, sFlow, SFTP, SNMP, SSH, Syslog, TACACS+, and TFTP.

SNMPv3 Translation: According to the vendor, ZoneRanger can be configured to translate SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c requests to SNMPv3 requests, enhancing security and compliance with SNMPv3 standards.

Statistical Analysis of UDP Traffic: The vendor claims that ZoneRanger provides statistical analysis of UDP traffic, allowing network operations teams to gain insights into network performance and identify potential issues.

Accelerated Network Onboarding: According to the vendor, ZoneRanger offers accelerated network onboarding, simplifying the process of integrating new devices into the network and reducing deployment time.

Minimized Attack Surface: The vendor states that ZoneRanger minimizes the attack surface by reducing the need for rule change management and decreasing the likelihood of human error, enhancing overall network security.

Transparent Management Application: According to the vendor, ZoneRanger provides transparency to management applications and end-devices, ensuring smooth and efficient communication between them.
