Table 119 Firmware Features

FEATURE	DESCRIPTION
Firewall	You can configure firewall on the NBG-460N for secure Internet
	access. When the firewall is on, by default, all incoming traffic
	from the Internet to your network is blocked unless it is
	initiated from your network. This means that probes from the
	outside to your network are not allowed, but you can safely
	browse the Internet and download files for example.
Content Filter	The NBG-460N blocks or allows access to web sites that you
	specify and blocks access to web sites with URLs that contain
	keywords that you specify. You can define time periods and
	days during which content filtering is enabled. You can also
	include or exclude particular computers on your network from
	content filtering.
	You can also subscribe to category-based content filtering that
	allows your NBG-460N to check web sites against an external
	database.
IPSec VPN	This allows you to establish a secure Virtual Private Network
	(VPN) tunnel to connect with business partners and branch
	offices using data encryption and the Internet without the
	expense of leased site-to-site lines. The NBG-460N VPN is
	based on the IPSec standard and is fully interoperable with
	other IPSec-based VPN products.
Bandwidth Management	You can efficiently manage traffic on your network by reserving
	bandwidth and giving priority to certain types of traffic and/or
	to particular computers.
Wireless LAN Scheduler	You can schedule the times the Wireless LAN is enabled/
	disabled.
Time and Date	Get the current time and date from an external server when
	you turn on your NBG-460N. You can also set the time
	manually. These dates and times are then used in logs.
Port Forwarding	If you have a server (mail or web server for example) on your
	network, then use this feature to let people access it from the
	Internet.
DHCP (Dynamic Host	Use this feature to have the NBG-460N assign IP addresses, an
Configuration Protocol)	IP default gateway and DNS servers to computers on your
	network.
Dynamic DNS Support	With Dynamic DNS (Domain Name System) support, you can
	use a fixed URL, www.zyxel.com for example, with a dynamic
	IP address. You must register for this service with a Dynamic
	DNS service provider.
IP Multicast	IP Multicast is used to send traffic to a specific group of
	computers. The NBG-460N supports versions 1 and 2 of IGMP
	(Internet Group Management Protocol) used to join multicast
	groups (see RFC 2236).
IP Alias	IP Alias allows you to subdivide a physical network into logical
	networks over the same Ethernet interface with the NBG-460N
	itself as the gateway for each subnet.
Logging and Tracing	Use packet tracing and logs for troubleshooting. You can send
	logs from the NBG-460N to an external syslog server.
PPPoE	PPPoE mimics a dial-up Internet access connection.
