Virtual Private Networking (Vpn); Auto Sensing And Auto Uplink™ Lan Ethernet Connections - NETGEAR DG834GUv5 Reference Manual

• PPP over ATM (PPPoA)
PPP over ATM is a protocol for connecting remote hosts to the Internet over an ADSL
connection by simulating an ATM connection.
• Dynamic DNS
Dynamic DNS services allow remote users to find your network using a domain name when
your IP address is not permanently assigned. The ADSL modem router contains a client that
can connect to many popular Dynamic DNS services to register your dynamic IP address.
• Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
UPnP is a networking architecture that provides compatibility between networking
technologies. UPnP compliant routers provide broadband users at home and small businesses
with a seamless way to participate in online games, videoconferencing and other peer-to-peer
services.

Virtual Private Networking (VPN)

The Wireless ADSL Modem Router provides a secure encrypted connection between your local
area network (LAN) and remote networks or clients. It includes the following VPN features:
• Supports 8 VPN connections.
• Supports industry standard VPN protocols
The Wireless ADSL Modem Router supports standard Manual or IKE keying methods,
standard MD5 and SHA-1 authentication methods, and standard DES and 3DES encryption
methods. It is compatible with many other VPN products.
• Supports 3DES encryption for maximum security.
• VPN Wizard based on VPNC recommended settings.
Auto Sensing and Auto Uplink™ LAN Ethernet Connections
With its internal 4-port 10/100 switch, the DG834G can connect to either a 10 Mbps standard
Ethernet network or a 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet network. The local LAN ports are autosensing and
capable of full-duplex or half-duplex operation.
The ADSL modem router incorporates Auto Uplink
automatically sense whether the Ethernet cable plugged into the port should have a 'normal'
connection such as to a computer or an 'uplink' connection such as to a switch or hub. That port
will then configure itself to the correct configuration. This feature also eliminates the need to
worry about crossover cables, as Auto Uplink will accommodate either type of cable to make the
right connection.
