ZyAIR B-5000 User's Guide
1.1.10 Network Address Translation (NAT) /(PAT)
NAT (Network Address Translation - NAT, RFC 1631) or PAT (Port Address Translation) allows the
translation of an IP address used within one network to different IP addresses known within another network.
1.1.11 DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows the individual clients (computers) to obtain the
TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a centralized DHCP server. The ZyAIR has built-in DHCP server
capability disabled by default. This can be changed at the initial configuration to enable DHCP. It can assign
IP addresses, an IP default gateway and DNS servers to DHCP clients.
1.1.12 SNMP
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol used for exchanging management information
between network devices. SNMP is a member of the TCP/IP protocol suite. Your ZyAIR supports SNMP
agent functionality, which allows a manager station to manage and monitor the ZyAIR through the network.
The ZyAIR supports SNMP version 1 (SNMPv1) and version 2c (SNMPv2c).
1.1.13 Full Network Management
The embedded web configurator is an all-platform web-based utility that allows you to easily access the
ZyAIR's management settings. Most functions of the ZyAIR are also software configurable via the SMT
(System Management Terminal) interface. The SMT is a menu-driven interface that you can access from a
terminal emulator through the console port or over a telnet connection.
1.1.14 Embedded TFTP Client Address
The ZyAIR's embedded TFTP Client address facility enables fast firmware upgrades as well as configuration
file backups and restoration.
