Translation (NAT), providing translation of IP
addresses from the internal private network to the
public IP network. Only one actual IP address is
needed for Internet connection, all other IP addresses
used by LAN users are generated for internal use.
This enables simultaneous Internet connectivity for

The built-in DHCP server, DHCP relay agent and DNS

proxy server functions eliminate the need to manage
IP addressing for all network users.

The Internet gateways provide a simple firewall for
home and office users against outside attacks. Only
one IP address is known to the Internet, all other
internally generated IP addresses for LAN users are
unknown to the Internet . This helps prevent hackers
from targeting a specific workstation or server IP
addresses on the network.
