Dynamic Dns Support; Pptp Encapsulation - ZyXEL Communications ZyAIR User Manual

ZyAIR Wireless Gateway Series User's Guide
connection start with "https" instead of "http". The ZyAIR allows SSL connections to take place through
the ZyAIR.
Firewall
The ZyAIR employs a stateful inspection firewall with DoS (Denial of Service) protection. By default,
when the firewall is activated, all incoming traffic from the WAN to the LAN is blocked unless it is
initiated from the LAN. The ZyAIR firewall supports TCP/UDP inspection, DoS detection and prevention,
real time alerts, reports and logs.
IEEE 802.1x Network Security
The ZyAIR supports the IEEE 802.1x standard to enhance user authentication. Use the built-in user profile
database to authenticate up to 32 users using MD5 encryption. Use an EAP-compatible RADIUS
(RFC2138, 2139 - Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) server to authenticate a limitless number of
users using EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol). EAP is an authentication protocol that supports
multiple types of authentication.
Wireless LAN MAC Address Filtering
Your ZyAIR checks the MAC address of the wireless station against a list of allowed or denied MAC
addresses.
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
Using the standard TCP/IP protocol, the ZyAIR and other UPnP-enabled devices can dynamically join a
network, obtain an IP address and convey its capabilities to other devices on the network.

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.
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 ZyAIR 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 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. Use PPTP to connect to a broadband modem to achieve access to high-speed data networks via a
familiar "dial-up networking" user interface.
