SSL Secure Login
With Secure Socket Layer (SSL) security activated upon login, data exchanged between the
VSG and client computers is encrypted and protected.
PPPoE Support (RFC2516)
PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) emulates a dial-up connection. It allows your
ISP to use their existing network configuration with newer broadband technologies such as
ADSL. The PPPoE driver on the VSG is transparent to the computers on the LAN, which see
only Ethernet and are not aware of PPPoE; thus saving you from having to manage PPPoE
clients on individual computers.
PPTP Support
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. PPTP supports on-demand, multi-protocol and virtual private
networking over public networks, such as the Internet. Subscribers can use PPTP to connect to
a broadband modem to achieve access to high-speed data networks via a familiar "dialup
networking" user interface.
4-Port Switch
A combination of switch and Internet gateway makes your VSG a cost-effective and viable
network solution. You can connect up to four computers to the LAN ports on the VSG without
the cost of a hub. To connect more than four Ethernet devices, attach a hub or switch.
