LAN/DMZ Interface
The ZyXEL Device provides a LAN port that can function as a virtual DeMilitarized Zone (DMZ) port. Public servers (Web, FTP, etc.) attached to the DMZ port are visible to the outside world (while still being protected from DoS (Denial of Service) attacks such as SYN flooding and Ping of Death) and can also be accessed from the secure LAN.
IPSec VPN Capability
Establish a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to connect with business partners and branch offices using data encryption and the Internet to provide secure communications without the expense of leased
Traffic Redirect
Traffic redirect forwards WAN traffic to a backup gateway when the ZyXEL Device cannot connect to the Internet, thus acting as an auxiliary if your regular WAN connection fails.
Media Bandwidth Management
ZyXEL’s Media Bandwidth Management allows you to specify bandwidth classes based on an application and/or subnet. You can allocate specific amounts of bandwidth capacity (bandwidth budgets) to different bandwidth classes.
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.

Network Address Translation (NAT)
Network Address Translation (NAT) allows the translation of an Internet protocol address used within one network (for example a private IP address used in a local network) to a different IP address known within another network (for example a public IP address used on the Internet).
