Networking Compatibility; Network Management - ZyXEL Communications Prestige 652H series User Manual

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows the individual clients (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. It can assign IP addresses, an IP default gateway and
DNS servers to DHCP clients. The Prestige can now also act as a surrogate DHCP server (DHCP
Relay) where it relays IP address assignment from the actual real DHCP server to the clients.
♦ IP Alias
IP Alias allows you to partition a physical network into logical networks over the same Ethernet
interface. The Prestige supports three logical LAN interfaces via its single physical Ethernet
interface with the Prestige itself as the gateway for each LAN network.
♦ IP Policy Routing (IPPR)
Traditionally, routing is based on the destination address only and the router takes the shortest path
to forward a packet. IP Policy Routing (IPPR) provides a mechanism to override the default routing
behavior and alter the packet forwarding based on the policy defined by the network administrator.
♦ PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) link layer protocol.
♦ Transparent bridging for unsupported network layer protocols.
♦ RIP I/RIP II
♦ IGMP Proxy
♦ ICMP support
♦ ATM QoS support
♦ MIB II support (RFC 1213)

Networking Compatibility

Your Prestige is compatible with the major ADSL DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer)
providers, making configuration as simple as possible for you.
Multiplexing
The Prestige supports VC-based and LLC-based multiplexing.
Encapsulation
The Prestige supports PPPoA (RFC 2364 - PPP over ATM Adaptation Layer 5), RFC 1483 encapsulation
over ATM, MAC encapsulated routing (ENET encapsulation) as well as PPP over Ethernet (RFC 2516).

Network Management

♦ Menu driven SMT (System Management Terminal) management
♦ Embedded web configurator
