ZyAIR B-5000 User’s Guide

Getting to know your ZyAIR
The ZyAIR may be prone to RF (Radio Frequency) interference from other 2.4 GHz
devices such as microwave ovens, wireless phones, Bluetooth enabled devices,
and other wireless LANs.
1.1.4 Firewall
The ZyAIR’s firewall provides DoS (Denial of Service) protection. By default, when the firewall is activated,
all incoming traffic from the WAN to the LAN is blocked unless it is initiated from the LAN. The ZyAIR
firewall supports TCP/UDP inspection.
1.1.5 IEEE 802.1x Network Security
The ZyAIR supports the IEEE 802.1x standard to enhance user authentication. Use the built-in user profile
database to authenticate users using MD5 encryption. Use an EAP-compatible RADIUS (RFC2138, 2139 -
Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) server to authenticate a limitless number of users using EAP
(Extensible Authentication Protocol). EAP is an authentication protocol that supports multiple types of
authentication.
1.1.6 Wireless LAN MAC Address Filtering
On a local area network (LAN) or other network, the MAC (Media Access Control) address is a wireless
LAN client’s unique hardware number (On an Ethernet LAN, it's the same as your Ethernet address). Your
ZyAIR checks the MAC address of a wireless station against a list of allowed or denied MAC addresses.
1.1.7 WEP Encryption
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encrypts data frames before transmitting them over the wireless network to
help keep network communications private.
1.1.8 Deny Clients
You can set the ZyAIR to block access for wireless LAN clients that have the SSID set to “any” or
“ANY”.
1.1.9 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
ZyAIR 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.
