The following table describes the labels not previously discussed.

7.9 Traffic Redirect

Traffic redirect forwards WAN traffic to a backup gateway when the ZyWALL cannot
connect to the Internet through its normal gateway. Connect the backup gateway on the WAN
so that the ZyWALL still provides firewall protection.

LABEL

DESCRIPTION

ISP Parameters for

Internet Access

Encapsulation

Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a network protocol that enables

secure transfer of data from a remote client to a private server, creating a Virtual

Private Network (VPN) using TCP/IP-based networks. PPTP supports on-

demand, multi-protocol, and virtual private networking over public networks, such

as the Internet. The ZyWALL supports only one PPTP server connection at any

given time. To configure a PPTP client, you must configure the User Name and

Password fields for a PPP connection and the PPTP parameters for a PPTP

connection.

Nailed-up

Select Nailed-Up if you do not want the connection to time out.

Idle Timeout

This value specifies the time in seconds that elapses before the ZyWALL

automatically disconnects from the PPTP server.
