Smartmax Manual 8.5 4. SUPPPORTED PROTOCOLS & ENCRYPTIONS 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. For example, your Internet service provider may provide you with a PPP connection so that the provider's server can respond to your requests, pass them on to the Internet, and forward the requested Internet responses back to you.
Smartmax Manual 8.5 to keep track of which user traffic should go to and which user should be billed. PPPoE provides for each user-remote site session to learn each other's network addresses (during an initial exchange called "discovery"). Once a session is established between an individual user and the remote site (for example, an Internet service provider), the session can be monitored for billing purposes.
Smartmax Manual 8.5 incoming packets back into local IP addresses. This helps ensure security since each outgoing or incoming request must go through a translation process that also offers the opportunity to qualify or authenticate the request or match it to a previous request. NAT also conserves on the number of global IP addresses that a company needs and it lets the company use a single IP address in its communication with the world.
Smartmax Manual 8.5 SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) is a protocol that is used to synchronize computer clock times in a network of computers. In common with similar protocols, SNTP uses Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to synchronize computer clock times to a millisecond, and sometimes to a fraction of a millisecond.
Smartmax Manual 8.5 network paths are used to ensure reliability and accuracy. In addition to client/server synchronization, SNTP also supports broadcast synchronization of peer computer clocks. SNTP is designed to be highly fault-tolerant and scalable. ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) is a message control and error-reporting protocol between a host server and a gateway to the Internet.
Smartmax Manual 8.5 IKE (Internet Key Exchange) Internet Key Exchange (IKE or IKEv2) is the protocol used to set up a security association (SA) in the IPSec protocol suite. IKE uses a Diffie-Hellman key exchange to set up a shared session secret, from which cryptographic keys are derived. Public key techniques or, alternatively, a pre-shared key, are used to mutually authenticate the communicating parties.
Smartmax Manual 8.5 SHA (Secure Hash Algorithm) SHA stands for Secure Hash Algorithm. The three SHA algorithms are structured differently and are distinguished as SHA-0, SHA-1, and SHA-2. The SHA-2 family uses an identical algorithm with a variable digest size which is distinguished as SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512.
Smartmax Manual 8.5 RIP (Routing Information Protocol) RIP is a distance-vector routing protocol, which employs the hop count as a routing metric. The hold down time is 180 seconds. RIP prevents routing loops by implementing a limit on the number of hops allowed in a path from the source to a destination. The maximum number of hops allowed for RIP is 15.
