What are the advanced features of the Gateway?

The Gateway's advanced features include IP filtering, IP forwarding, dynamic routing, static routing, DMZ hosting, and MAC address cloning.

Is IPSec Pass-Through supported by the EtherFast Gateway?

Yes, it is a built-in feature that the Gateway automatically enables.

Does the Gateway support IPX or AppleTalk?

No. TCP/IP is the only protocol standard for the Internet and has become the global standard for communications. IPX, a NetWare communications protocol used only to route messages from one node to another, and AppleTalk, a communications protocol used on Apple and Macintosh networks, can be used from LAN to LAN connections, but those protocols cannot connect from WAN to LAN.

Does the WAN connection of the Gateway support 100 Mbps Ethernet?

Since broadband Internet connections like cable and DSL do not exceed 10 Mbps, the Gateway’s current hardware design only supports 10 Mbps Ethernet on its WAN port. It does support 100 Mbps through the built-in auto-sensing Fast Ethernet 10/100 switch on the LAN side of the Gateway.

Does the Gateway support SPI?

Stateful packet inspection (SPI) is a new feature of the Gateway.
