· Security enhancement using a firewall
Security can be enhanced by combining an upper-level protocol having the encryption function,
such as IPSec or PPTP, and a firewall.

Example of configuration using a firewall

1.

Separate the network (intranet) to be protected from the network having access points,

and place a firewall between them.

2.

Install protocols doing encryption, such as IPSec or PPTP, in the stations and network

resources (such as shared servers) in the intranet. Define the system so that

communication is always performed through these protocols.

3.

For communication between stations and network resources in the intranet, the firewall

filters protocols to prevent any protocols other than IPSec and PPTP from passing

through.
