Chapter 8 WAN 8.3.1 Configuring Your Internet Connection Encapsulation Method Encapsulation is used to include data from an upper layer protocol into a lower layer protocol. To set up a WAN connection to the Internet, you need to use the same encapsulation method used by your ISP (Internet Service Provider).
Chapter 8 WAN Multicast Traditionally, IP packets are transmitted in one of either two ways - Unicast (1 sender - 1 recipient) or Broadcast (1 sender - everybody on the network). Multicast delivers IP packets to a group of hosts on the network - not everybody and not just 1. Figure 26 Multicast Example In the multicast example above, systems A and D comprise one multicast group. In multicasting, the server only needs to send one data stream and this is delivered to systems A and D.

C HAPTER 12 NAT 12.1 Overview NAT (Network Address Translation - NAT, RFC 1631) is the translation of the IP address of a host in a packet. For example, the source address of an outgoing packet, used within one network is changed to a different IP address known within another network. The figure below is a simple illustration of a NAT network.
Chapter 12 NAT • Use the Port Forwarding screen to set a default server and change your EMG2926-Q10A’s port forwarding settings to forward incoming service requests to the server(s) on your local network (Section 12.3 on page 101). • Use the Port Trigger screen to change your EMG2926-Q10A’s trigger port settings (Section 12.5.3 on page 106). 12.1.2 What You Need To Know The following terms and concepts may help as you read through this chapter.
Chapter 12 NAT network and make them accessible to the outside world. If you do not define any servers, NAT offers the additional benefit of firewall protection. With no servers defined, your EMG2926-Q10A filters out all incoming inquiries, thus preventing intruders from probing your network. For more information on IP address translation, refer to RFC 1631, The IP Network Address Translator (NAT). How NAT Works Each packet has two addresses – a source address and a destination address.
Chapter 12 NAT The following table describes the labels in this screen. Table 38 Network > NAT > General LABEL DESCRIPTION Network Address Translation (NAT) Network Address Translation (NAT) allows the translation of an Internet protocol address used within one network (for example a private IP address used in a local network) to a different IP address known within another network (for example a public IP address used on the Internet).

Chapter 12 NAT 12.5 Technical Reference The following section contains additional technical information about the EMG2926-Q10A features described in this chapter. 12.5.1 NATPort Forwarding: Services and Port Numbers A port forwarding set is a list of inside (behind NAT on the LAN) servers, for example, web or FTP, that you can make accessible to the outside world even though NAT makes your whole inside network appear as a single machine to the outside world.
Chapter 12 NAT 12.5.3 Trigger Port Forwarding Some services use a dedicated range of ports on the client side and a dedicated range of ports on the server side. With regular port forwarding you set a forwarding port in NAT to forward a service (coming in from the server on the WAN) to the IP address of a computer on the client side (LAN). The problem is that port forwarding only forwards a service to a single LAN IP address.
Chapter 12 NAT 12.5.5 Two Points To Remember About Trigger Ports 1 Trigger events only happen on data that is coming from inside the EMG2926-Q10A and going to the outside. 2 If an application needs a continuous data stream, that port (range) will be tied up so that another computer on the LAN can’t trigger it.

Chapter 15 Firewall What is a Firewall? Originally, the term “firewall” referred to a construction technique designed to prevent the spread of fire from one room to another. The networking term "firewall" is a system or group of systems that enforces an access-control policy between two networks. It may also be defined as a mechanism used to protect a trusted network from a network that is not trusted. Of course, firewalls cannot solve every security problem.
Chapter 15 Firewall 3 Limit who can access your router. 4 Don't enable any local service (such as NTP) that you don't use. Any enabled service could present a potential security risk. A determined hacker might be able to find creative ways to misuse the enabled services to access the firewall or the network. 5 For local services that are enabled, protect against misuse.
