SSL Passthrough

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) uses a public key to encrypt data that's

 

 

transmitted over an SSL connection. Both Netscape Navigator and

 

 

Internet Explorer support SSL, and many Web sites use the protocol to

 

 

obtain confidential user information, such as credit card numbers. By

 

 

convention, URLs that require an SSL connection start with “https”

 

 

instead of “http”. The ZyXEL Device allows SSL connections to take

 

 

place through the ZyXEL Device.

configuration file from a TFTP server at start up or after renewing DHCP

 

 

client information.

 

 

 

 

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 ZyXEL Device supports

 

 

SNMP agent functionality, which allows a manger station to manage and

 

 

monitor the ZyXEL Device through the network. The ZyXEL Device

 

 

supports SNMP version one (SNMPv1) and version two c (SNMPv2c).

 

 

 

 

DFS (NWA-3160 only)
