4 . P R O T O C O L S & E N C R Y P T I O N S PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) is a protocol for communication between two computers using a serial interface, typically a personal computer connected by phone line to a server.
an individual user and the remote site (for example, an Internet service provider), the session can be monitored for billing purposes. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a communication protocol that lets network administrators centrally manage and automate the assignment of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses in an organization's network.
NAT is included as part of a router and is often part of a corporate firewall. Network administrators create a NAT table that does the global-to-local and local-to-global IP address mapping. NAT can also be used in conjunction with policy routing. NAT can be statically defined or it can be set up to dynamically translate from and to a pool of IP addresses.
systems provide a graphic illustration of the need for coordinated times, since flight paths require very precise timing (imagine the situation if air traffic controller computer clock times were not synchronized). UTC time is obtained using several different methods, including radio and satellite systems.
NAT-T NAT-T (NAT Traversal in the IKE) is a method of enabling IPSec-protected IP datagram’s to pass through a Network address translator (NAT). An IP packet is modified while passing through a network address translator device in a manner that is incompatible with Internet Protocol Security (IPSec).
RIP can support. A hop count of 16 is considered an infinite distance and used to deprecate inaccessible, inoperable, or otherwise undesirable routes in the selection process. There are three versions of RIP. Unimax+ supports RIPv2.
Due to the deficiencies of the original RIP specification, RIP version 2 (RIPv2) was developed in 1993 and last standardized in 1998. It included the ability to carry subnet information, thus supporting Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR). To maintain backward compatibility, the hop count limit of 15 remained. RIPv2 has facilities to fully interoperate with the earlier specification if all Must Be Zero protocol fields in the RIPv1 messages are properly specified.

[Figure 61: Port Forwarding Setup] Note: If you forward port 80 to a web server/camera, you won’t be able to access the Unimax+ web page unless you change the Web Access port on the Unimax+ from 80 to 8080 (for example).
After changing the Web access port Setting DMZ Host DMZ page allows one IP address in Demilitarized Zone which is exposed to internet without sacrificing unauthorized access to the local private network.
