02. CMG technical training
CMG technical training (PPT slides).
This session briefly explains and highlights the key features of CMG. It doesn't go in-depth with some of the common features that also exist in other existing products (eg. firewall, OSPF/BGP, etc). The differentiating features are:
Multi-WAN link balancing
Bandwidth control (QoS)
CMG technical training LAB 1. - getting started with mbox
This video is part of the mbox Cloud Managed Gateway (CMG) lab training series. There're 2 keys points in this video:
how to access to mbox for configuration (console, SSH, mfusion)
familiarize mbox command line interface (CLI)
CMG technical training LAB 2. - basic network settings
This video continues with LAB 1 to proceed with CMG basic configurations to bring up a CMG online for a typical enterprise network
Interface configuration
route configuration (for active/standby ISP links)
DHCP server setting
Firewall rules and NAT settings
(optional) DNS rewrite configuration for URL filtering.
CMG technical training LAB 3. - traffic shaping (QoS)
This video continues with LAB 2 to configure mbox bandwidth control capabilities. The configurations are done on the PE routers in this case.

CMG technical training LAB 4. - Multi-WAN link balancing
This video demonstrates mbox Multi-WAN (MWAN) link balancing feature configuration. mbox can connect to multiple ISP links and balance traffic across each link, keeping all links active. MWAN enables enterprises to fully utilize the aggregated total bandwidth from all ISP links, while providing seamless fail-over between links.

CMG technical training LAB 5. - dynamic routing
This lab extends earlier sessions to elaborate CMG dynamic routing capabilities, OSPF and BGP. mbox CMG and HSG support both OSPF and BGP dynamic routing protocols for exchanging network routes, for both IPv4 and IPv6.
mbox Cloud Managed Gateway (CMG) has been running and working fine in some of the largest ISP backbone networks, absorbing more than 1 million IPv4 routes and more than 300,000 IPv6 routes.
