Wireless Lan Mac Address Filtering; Content Filtering; Packet Filtering - ZyXEL Communications ZyXEL ZyWALL 2WE User Manual

ZyWALL 2 and ZyWALL 2WE
RADIUS (RFC2138, 2139)
The ZyWALL 2WE uses RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) to have a server handle
authentication, authorization and accounting for your wireless network.
IEEE 802.1x for Network Security
The ZyWALL 2WE supports the IEEE 802.1x standard that works with the IEEE 802.11 to enhance user
authentication. With the local user profile, the ZyWALL allows you to configure up to 32 user profiles
without a network authentication server. In addition, centralized user and accounting management is possible
on an optional network authentication server.

Wireless LAN MAC Address Filtering

The ZyWALL 2WE allows you to use MAC Address Filtering together with ESSID (Extended Service Set
IDentifier) and WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) to provide security for your wireless LAN.
Brute-Force Password Guessing Protection
The ZyWALL has a special protection mechanism to discourage brute-force password guessing attacks on
the ZyWALL's management interfaces. You can specify a wait-time that must expire before entering a fourth
password after three incorrect passwords have been entered. Please see the appendices for details about this
feature.

Content Filtering

The ZyWALL can block web features such as ActiveX controls, Java applets and cookies, as well as disable
web proxies. The ZyWALL can block specific URLs by using the keyword feature. It also allows the
administrator to define time periods and days during which content filtering is enabled.

Packet Filtering

The packet filtering mechanism blocks unwanted traffic from entering/leaving your network.
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
Using the standard TCP/IP protocol, the ZyWALL and other UPnP enabled devices can dynamically join a
network, obtain an IP address and convey its capabilities to other devices on the network.
Call Scheduling
Configure call time periods to restrict and allow access for users on remote nodes.
PPPoE
PPPoE facilitates the interaction of a host with an Internet modem to achieve access to high-speed data
networks via a familiar "dial-up networking" user interface.
PPTP Encapsulation
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a network protocol that enables secure transfer of data from a
remote client to a private server, creating a Virtual Private Network (VPN) using a TCP/IP-based network.
