Content Filtering
With its content filtering feature, the FVS328 prevents objectionable content from reaching your
computers. The firewall allows you to control access to Internet content by screening for keywords
within Web addresses. You can configure the firewall to log and report attempts to access
objectionable Internet sites.
Configurable Auto Uplink™ Ethernet Connection
With its internal 8-port 10/100 switch, the FVS328 can connect to either a 10 Mbps standard
Ethernet network or a 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet network. Both the local LAN and the Internet WAN
interfaces are 10/100 Mbps, autosensing, and capable of full-duplex or half-duplex operation.
The firewall incorporates Auto Uplink
TM
technology. Each local Ethernet port will automatically
sense whether the Ethernet cable plugged into the port should have a ‘normal’ connection such as
to a PC or an ‘uplink’ connection such as to a switch or hub. That port will then configure itself to
the correct configuration. This feature also eliminates the need to worry about crossover cables, as
Auto Uplink will accommodate either type of cable to make the right connection.
Protocol Support
The FVS328 supports the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and Routing
Information Protocol (RIP).
Appendix C, “Networks, Routing, and Firewall Basics”
provides
further information on TCP/IP. Supported protocols include:
•
The Ability to Enable or Disable IP Address Sharing by NAT
The FVS328 allows several networked computers to share an Internet account using only a
single IP address, which may be statically or dynamically assigned by your Internet service
provider (ISP). This technique, known as NAT, allows the use of an inexpensive single-user
ISP account. This feature can also be turned off completely for using the FVS328 in settings
where you want to manage the IP address scheme of your organization.
•
Automatic Configuration of Attached computers by DHCP
The FVS328 dynamically assigns network configuration information, including IP, gateway,
and domain name server (DNS) addresses, to attached computers using Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This feature greatly simplifies configuration of computers on
your local network.
