Features

The following sections describe ZyWALL features. Features vary by ZyWALL model.

1.2.1 Physical

Features

Auto-negotiating 10/100 Mbps Ethernet LAN

The LAN interface automatically detects if it’s on a 10 or a 100 Mbps Ethernet.

Auto-crossover 10/100 Mbps Ethernet LAN

The LAN interface automatically adjusts to either a crossover or straight-through Ethernet cable. This feature
is not available on all models.

Auto-negotiating 10/100 Mbps Ethernet DMZ

Public servers (Web, FTP, etc.) attached to the DeMilitarized Zone (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. This feature is not available on all models.

10/100 Mbps Ethernet WAN

The 10/100 Mbps Ethernet WAN port attaches to the Internet via broadband modem or router. This feature is
not available on all models.

Backup WAN or Auxiliary

The Dial Backup or Auxiliary port can be used in reserve as a traditional dial-up connection when/if ever the
broadband connection to the WAN port fails. This feature is not available on all models.

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. The Real Time Chip (RTC) keeps track of the time and date
