Dynamic NAT
See
NAT
and
address translation
.
Dynamic PAT
Dynamic Port Address Translation. Dynamic PAT lets multiple outbound sessions appear to originate
from a single IP address. With PAT enabled, the security appliance chooses a unique port number from
the PAT IP address for each outbound translation slot (
xlate
). This feature is valuable when an
ISP
cannot allocate enough unique IP addresses for your outbound connections. The global pool addresses
always come first, before a PAT address is used. See also

EGP
Exterior Gateway Protocol. Replaced by BGP. The security appliance does not support EGP. See also
BGP
.
EIGRP
Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol. The security appliance does not support EIGRP.
EMBLEM
Enterprise Management BaseLine Embedded Manageability. A syslog format designed to be
consistent with the Cisco IOS system log format and is more compatible with CiscoWorks
management applications.
encryption
Application of a specific algorithm or cipher to data so as to render the data incomprehensible to those
unauthorized to see the information. See also
decryption
.
ESMTP
Extended
SMTP
. Extended version of
SMTP
that includes additional functionality, such as delivery
notification and session delivery. ESMTP is described in RFC 1869, SMTP Service Extensions.
ESP
Encapsulating Security Payload. An
IPSec
protocol, ESP provides authentication and encryption
services for establishing a secure tunnel over an insecure network. For more information, refer to
RFCs 2406 and 1827.
F
failover, failover
mode
Failover lets you configure two security appliances so that one will take over operation if the other
one fails. The security appliance supports two failover configurations, Active/Active failover and
Active/Standby failover. Each failover configuration has its own method for determining and
performing failover. With Active/Active failover, both units can pass network traffic. This lets you
configure load balancing on your network. Active/Active failover is only available on units running
in multiple context mode. With Active/Standby failover, only one unit passes traffic while the other
unit waits in a standby state. Active/Standby failover is available on units running in either single or
multiple context mode.
Fixup
See
inspection engine
.
Flash, Flash
memory
A nonvolatile storage device used to store the configuration file when the security appliance is
powered down.
FQDN/IP
Fully qualified domain name/IP address.
IPSec
parameter that identifies peers that are security
gateways.
