The router functionality can be grouped into 6 different management blocks. Provisioning each of these
blocks creates a wide range of possible applications for the router. Refer to figure 3.
• General management of the router.
• General LAN functions.
• Bridging or routing between the LAN and the WAN.
• Creation of virtual private networks (VPNs) between the LAN and remote sites over the WAN.
This feature is typically used for secure transfer of information over the Internet.
• The use of a firewall for filtering and translating information from the WAN.
• The protocol used by the WAN.
