Central Network Management

Central Network Management (CNM) allows an enterprise or service provider network
administrator to manage your ZyWALL. The enterprise or service provider network
administrator can configure your ZyWALL, perform firmware upgrades and do
troubleshooting for you.
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).
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).
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.
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 ZyWALL
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.

Full Network Management

The embedded web configurator is an all-platform web-based utility that allows you to easily
access the ZyWALL's management settings and configure the firewall.

RoadRunner Support

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