This global Internet address can be a static address, or a dynamic address provided by the ISP when the connection is established. As NAPT will only allow outgoing connections from the internal network to the Internet, the internal network will automatically be secured from break-ins from the Internet. Although NAPT only allows outgoing connections, the IP Routing software option provides controlled access to particular internal servers from the Internet, through the use of IP Port Forwarding. This allows for example a customer to have secured access to an internal Web Server from the Internet. The standard configuration installs a default route to the ISDN dialup or FE1 leased line.
Port forwarding allows access to internal servers when masquerading is active.
Remote management includes a Telnet console interface, Web access through the built-in HTTP Web server and SNMP management.
