VSG-1200 V2 User's Guide PPPoE Support (RFC2516) PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) emulates a dial-up connection. It allows your ISP to use their existing network configuration with newer broadband technologies such as ADSL. The PPPoE driver on the VSG is transparent to the computers on the LAN, which see only Ethernet and are not aware of PPPoE; thus saving you from having to manage PPPoE clients on individual computers. PPTP Support Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a network protocol that enables secure transfer of data from a remote client to a private server, creating a Virtual Private Network (VPN) using a TCP/IP-based network. PPTP supports on-demand, multi-protocol and virtual private networking over public networks, such as the Internet. Subscribers can use PPTP to connect to a broadband modem to achieve access to high-speed data networks via a familiar "dialup networking" user interface. Reset Button Use the reset button to restore the VSG back to its factory defaults. Plug-and-Play Internet Access The VSG provides Internet access to attached computer(s) without extra software installation or computer configuration. In addition, with transparent proxy, the VSG resolves any incompatible proxy settings. Port Forwarding Use this feature to forward incoming service requests to a server on your local network. DHCP Support DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows the individual computers (DHCP clients) to obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a centralized DHCP server. The VSG has built-in DHCP server capability. It can assign IP addresses, an IP default gateway and DNS servers to DHCP clients. The VSG can also act as a surrogate DHCP server (DHCP Relay) where it relays IP address assignment from the actual real DHCP server to the DHCP clients. RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) The VSG allows you to maintain a central subscriber database on an external RADIUS server. Subscriber accounting and authentication is then done through the external RADIUS server. In addition, the VSG supports Vendor Specific Attributes (VSAs) that allows enforcement of upload/download bandwidth limits or specific advertisement web page per subscriber. 33 Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your VSG
