Dynamic Dns Support; Traffic Redirect - ZyXEL Communications ZyAir G-2000 PlusV2 User Manual

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
Using the standard TCP/IP protocol, the ZyXEL device 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 ZyXEL device 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.
Network Address Translation (NAT)
NAT (Network Address Translation - NAT, RFC 1631) allows the translations of multiple IP
addresses used within one network to different IP addresses known within another network.
NAT supports popular Internet applications such as MS traceroute, CuSeeMe, IRC,
RealPlayer, VDOLive, Quake, and PPTP. No configuration is needed to support these
applications.

Traffic Redirect

Traffic Redirect forwards WAN traffic to a backup gateway on the LAN when the ZyXEL
device cannot connect to the Internet, thus acting as an auxiliary backup when your regular
WAN connection fails.
