The following list, which is not exhaustive, illustrates the standards supported in the NBG-
318S.
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.
Time and Date Get the current time and date from an external server when you turn on
your NBG-318S. 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
Configuration Protocol)
Use this feature to have the NBG-318S assign IP addresses, an 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-318S 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-318S itself as the
gateway for each subnet.
Logging and Tracing Use packet tracing and logs for troubleshooting. You can send logs from
the NBG-318S to an external UNIX syslog server.
PPPoE PPPoE mimics a dial-up over Ethernet Internet access connection.
PPTP Encapsulation Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) enables secure transfer of
data through a Virtual Private Network (VPN). The NBG-318S supports
one PPTP connection at a time.
Universal Plug and Play
(UPnP)
The NBG-318S can communicate with other UPnP enabled devices in a
network.
