ZyWALL 10/10 II/50 Internet Security Gateway
You can configure most features of the ZyWALL via SMT but we recommend you
configure the firewall and Content Filters using the ZyWALL web configurator.
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 also block specific URLs by using the keyword feature.
Packet Filtering
The Packet Filtering mechanism blocks unwanted traffic from entering/leaving your 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.
PPTP supports on-demand, multi-protocol and virtual private networking over public networks, such as the
Internet. The ZyWALL supports one PPTP server connection at any given time.
Dynamic DNS Support
With Dynamic DNS support, you can have a static hostname alias for a dynamic IP address, allowing the
host to be more easily accessible from various locations on the Internet. You must register for this service
with a Dynamic DNS client to use this service.
IP Multicast
Deliver IP packets to a specific group of hosts (only) using IP multicast. IGMP (Internet Group Management
Protocol) is the protocol used to support multicast groups. The latest version is version 2 (see RFC 2236); the
ZyWALL supports both versions 1 and 2.
IP Alias
IP Alias allows you to partition a physical network into logical networks over the same Ethernet interface.
The ZyWALL supports three logical LAN interfaces via its single physical Ethernet interface with the
ZyWALL itself as the gateway for each LAN network.
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 ZyWALL supports SNMP
agent functionality, which allows a manager station to manage and monitor the ZyWALL through the
network. The ZyWALL supports SNMP version one (SNMPv1).
