47 from probing your network. For more information on IP add ress translation, refer to RFC 1631, The IP Network Address Translator (NAT). Inside/outside indicates where a hos t is loc ated relative to t he RO UTER. The computers hosts of your LAN are inside, while t he W eb servers on t he Internet are outside.

55 RIP-1 is universa ll y supp orted, but RIP-2 carries more information. R IP-1 is adequate for most networks. Only consider RI P-2 if your network has unusual topology. Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M sends the routing data i n RIP-2 format. RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting while RIP-2M uses multicasting.
56 Firewall : Select this option can automaticall y detect and block Denial of S ervice (DoS) attacks, such as Ping of Death, SYN Flood, Port S can and Land Attack.
57 AWG American Wire Gauge - The measurement of thickness of a wire Bridge A device connects two or more physical networks and forward packets between them.
58 Dynamic IP Addresses A dynamic IP address is an IP address that is automatically assigned to a client statio n (computer, printer, etc.) in a TCP/IP network. Dynamic IP addresses are typically assigned by a DHCP server, which can be a computer on the network or another piece of hardware, such as the Router.
59 ICMP Internet Control Message Protocol - The protocol handle errors and control messages at the IP layer. ICMP is actually part of the IP protocol. Internet address An IP address is assigned in blocks of numbers to user organizations accessing the Internet.
60 PAP Password Authentication Protocol PORT The abstraction used in Internet transport protocols to disti nguish among multiple simultaneous connections to a single destination host. POTS Plain Old Telephone Service - This is the term describe basic telephone service.
61 Information stored within a router that contains network path and status information. It is used to select the most appropriate route to forward information along. Routing Information Protocol Routers periodically exchange information with one another so that the y can determine minimum distance paths between sources and destinations.
62 during your Router' s configuration. Subnet For routing purposes, IP networks can be divided into logical subnets b y using a subnet mask. Values below those of the mask are valid addresses on the subnet.
63 reality, the data is delivered across a network via the most appropriate route. The sending and receiving devices do not have to be aware of the options and the route is chosen only when a message is sent. There is no pre-arrangement, so each vi rtual connection exists onl y fo r the duration of that one transmission.
