ZyWALL 10/50 Internet Security Gateway

Network Address Translation (NAT)

NAT (Network Address Translation - NAT, RFC 1631) allows the translation of an Internet Protocol address used within one network to a different IP address known within another network.

Port Forwarding

Use this feature to forward incoming service requests to a server on your local network. You may enter a single port number or a range of port numbers to be forwarded, and the local IP address of the desired server.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows the individual clients (workstations) to obtain the TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a centralized DHCP server. The ZyWALL has built-in DHCP server capability, enabled by default, which means it can assign IP addresses, an IP default gateway and DNS servers to Windows 9X, Windows NT and other systems that support the DHCP client. The ZyWALL can now also act as a surrogate DHCP server (DHCP Relay) where it relays IP address assignment from the actual real DHCP server to the clients.

Full Network Management

This feature allows you to access the SMT (System Management Terminal) through the console port or telnet connection.

RoadRunner Support

In addition to standard cable modem services, the ZyWALL supports Time Warner’s RoadRunner Service.

Time and Date

The ZyWALL has a Real Time Chip (RTC) that keeps track of the time and date. The ZyWALL allows you to get the current time and date from an external server when you turn on your ZyWALL. You can also set the time manually.

Logging and Tracing

Built-in message logging and packet tracing.

Unix syslog facility support.

Upgrade ZyWALL Firmware via LAN

The firmware of the ZyWALL 10/50 can be upgraded via the LAN.

Embedded FTP and TFTP Servers

The ZyWALL’s embedded FTP and TFTP Servers enable fast firmware upgrades as well as configuration file backups and restoration.
