how to configure NAT on the NBG4615 v2. Note: You must create a firewall rule in addition to setting up NAT, to allow traffic from the WAN to be forwarded through the NBG4615 v2. 18.1.1 What You Can Do • Use the General screen to enable NAT (Section 18.2 on page 169).

RADIUS is based on a client-server model that supports authentication, authorization and accounting. The access point is the client and the server is the RADIUS server. The RADIUS server handles the following tasks: • Authentication Determines the identity of the users. 284 NBG4615 v2 User's Guide - ZyXEL NBG4615 v2 | User Guide - Page 285
• Authorization Determines the network services available to authenticated users once they are connected to which is a password, they both know. The key is not sent over the network.
