NAT

Network Address Translation allows multiple users to access the Internet, while sharing only one public IP.

Address Mapping Allows one or more public IP addresses to be shared by multiple

Virtual Server If you configure the Wireless 54Mbps ADSL Router as a virtual server,

remote users accessing services such as the Internet or FTP at your local site via public IP addresses can be automatically redirected to local servers with private IP addresses. In other words, depending on the requested service (TCP/UDP port number), the Wireless 54Mbps ADSL Router redirects the external service request to the appropriate server (located at another internal IP address).

For example, if you set Type/Public Port to TCP/80 (HTTP or Web) and the Private IP/Port to 192.168.2.2/80, then all HTTP requests from outside users will be transferred to 192.168.2.2 on port 80. Therefore, by just entering the IP address provided by the ISP, Internet users can access the service they need at the local address to which you redirect them.

RIP RIP

(Routing Information Protocol) sends routing-update messages at

regular intervals and when the network topology changes. When a router receives a routing update that includes changes to an entry, it updates its routing table to reflect the new route. RIP routers maintain only the best route to a destination. After updating its routing table, the router immediately begins transmitting routing updates to inform other network routers of the change.

• Stateful Packet Inspection

This is called a “stateful” packet inspection because it examines the contents of the packet to determine the state of the communications; i.e., it ensures that the stated destination computer has previously requested the current communication. This is a way of ensuring that all communications are initiated by the recipient computer and are taking place only with sources that are known and trusted from previous interactions. In addition to being more rigorous in their inspection of packets, stateful inspection firewalls also close off ports until connection to the specific port is requested.

When particular types of traffic are checked, only the particular type of traffic initiated from the internal LAN will be allowed. For example, if the user only selects FTP Service in the Stateful Packet Inspection section, all incoming traffic will be blocked except for FTP connections initiated from the local LAN.

Stateful Packet Inspection allows you to select different application types that are using dynamic port numbers. If you wish to use the Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) to block packets, select Yes in the Enable SPI and Anti-DoS firewall protection field and then select the
