Prestige 334 User's Guide

1.2.2.14 SNMP

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol used for exchanging
management information between network devices. SNMP is a member of the TCP/IP
protocol suite. Your Prestige supports SNMP agent functionality, which allows a manager
station to manage and monitor the Prestige through the network. The Prestige supports SNMP
version one (SNMPv1) and version two (SNMPv2).

1.2.2.15 Network Address Translation (NAT)

Network Address Translation (NAT) allows the translation of an Internet protocol address
used within one network (for example a private IP address used in a local network) to a
different IP address known within another network (for example a public IP address used on
the Internet).

1.2.2.16 Traffic Redirect

Traffic Redirect forwards WAN traffic to a backup gateway on the LAN when the Prestige
cannot connect to the Internet, thus acting as an auxiliary backup when your regular WAN
connection fails.

1.2.2.17 Port Forwarding

Use this feature to forward incoming service requests to a server on your local network. You
may enter a single port number or a range of port numbers to be forwarded, and the local IP
address of the desired server.

1.2.2.18 DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows the individual client computers to
obtain the TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a centralized DHCP server. The Prestige has
built-in DHCP server capability, enabled by default, which means it can assign IP addresses,
an IP default gateway and DNS servers to all systems that support the DHCP client.

1.2.2.19 Full Network Management

The embedded web configurator is an all-platform web-based utility that allows you to easily
access the Prestige's management settings and configure the firewall. Most functions of the
Prestige are also software configurable via the SMT (System Management Terminal)
interface. The SMT is a menu-driven interface that you can access over a telnet connection.

1.2.2.20 RoadRunner Support

In addition to standard cable modem services, the Prestige supports Time Warner's
RoadRunner Service.

1.2.2.21 Logging and Tracing
