The ZyWALL 10 Internet Security Gateway
The ZyWALL 10 is a dual Ethernet Internet Security Gateway integrated with a robust firewall and network
management features designed for home offices and small businesses to access the Internet via Cable/ADSL
modem or Internet router.
By integrating NAT and firewall capability, ZyXEL's ZyWALL 10 provides not only ease of installation
and Internet access, but also a complete security solution to protect your Intranet and efficiently manage data
traffic on your network.
The ZyWALL Web Configurator is a breeze to operate and totally independent of the operating system
platform you use.
1.2
Features of The ZyWALL 10
The following are the main features of the ZyWALL 10.
Firewall
The ZyWALL is 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 ZyWALL firewall supports TCP/UDP inspection, DoS detection and prevention, real time alerts,
reports and logs.
You can configure most features of the ZyWALL 10 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.
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.
