Chapter 2 Connecting the FVS336G to the Internet The initial Internet configuration of the ProSafe Dual WAN Gigabit Firewall with SSL & IPsec VPN is described in this chapter. This chapter contains the following sections: • “Understanding the Connection Steps” • “Logging into the VPN Firewall Router” • “Navigating the Menus” • “Configuring the Internet Connections” • “Configuring the WAN Mode (Required for Dual WAN)” • “Configuring Dynamic DNS (Optional)” • “Configuring the Advanced WAN Options (Optional)” Understanding the Connection Steps Typically, six steps are required to complete the basic Internet connection of your VPN firewall. 1. Connect the firewall physically to your network. Connect the cables and restart your network according to the instructions in the installation guide. See the Installation Guide, FVS336G ProSafe Dual WAN Gigabit Firewall with SSL & IPsec VPN for complete steps. A PDF of the Installation Guide is on the NETGEAR website at: http://kbserver.netgear.com. 2. Log in to the VPN Firewall. After logging in, you are ready to set up and configure your VPN firewall. You can also change your password and enable remote management at this time. See “Logging into the VPN Firewall Router” on page 2-2. 3. Configure the Internet connections to your ISP(s). During this phase, you will connect to your ISPs. You can also program the WAN traffic meters at this time if desired. See “Configuring the Internet Connections” on page 2-5. 2-1 v1.0, October 2007 ProSafe Dual WAN Gigabit Firewall with SSL & IPsec VPN FVS336G Reference Manual 4. Configure the WAN mode (required for dual WAN operation). Select either dedicated (single WAN) mode, auto-rollover mode, or load balancing mode. For load balancing, you can also select any necessary protocol bindings. See “Configuring the WAN Mode (Required for Dual WAN)” on page 2-12. 5. Configure dynamic DNS on the WAN ports (optional). Configure your fully qualified domain names during this phase (if required). See “Configuring Dynamic DNS (Optional)” on page 2-18. 6. Configure the WAN options (optional). Optionally, you can enable each WAN port to respond to a ping, and you can change the factory default MTU size and port speed. However, these are advanced features and changing them is not usually required. See “Configuring the Advanced WAN Options (Optional)” on page 2-20. Each of these tasks is detailed separately in this chapter. The configuration of firewall and VPN features is described in later chapters. Logging into the VPN Firewall Router To connect to the VPN firewall, your computer needs to be configured to obtain an IP address automatically from the VPN firewall by DHCP. For instructions on how to configure your computer for DHCP, refer to the link in Appendix B, “Related Documents. To connect and log in to the VPN firewall follow these steps: 1. Start any of the qualified browsers, as detailed in “Qualified Web Browsers” on page 1-8. 2. Enter https://192.168.1.1 in the address field. 2-2 Connecting the FVS336G to the Internet v1.0, October 2007 ProSafe Dual WAN Gigabit Firewall with SSL & IPsec VPN FVS336G Reference Manual The Manager login features appear in the browser.

Figure 2-5 The WAN Status window should show a valid IP address and gateway. If the configuration was not successful, skip ahead to “Manually Configuring the Internet Connection” following this section, or see “Troubleshooting the ISP Connection” on page 10-4. Note: If the configuration process was successful, you are connected to the Internet through WAN port 1. If you intend to use the dual WAN capabilities of the VPN firewall, continue with the configuration process for WAN port 2. 4. Click the WAN2 ISP Settings tab. 5. Repeat the previous steps to automatically detect and configure the WAN2 Internet connection. 6. Open the WAN Status window and verify a successful connection If your WAN ISP configuration was successful, you can skip ahead to “Configuring the WAN Mode (Required for Dual WAN)” on page 2-12. If one or both automatic WAN ISP configurations failed, you can attempt a manual configuration as described in the following section, or see “Troubleshooting the ISP Connection” on page 10-4. 2-8 Connecting the FVS336G to the Internet v1.0, October 2007 ProSafe Dual WAN Gigabit Firewall with SSL & IPsec VPN FVS336G Reference Manual Manually Configuring the Internet Connection Unless your ISP automatically assigns your configuration automatically via DHCP, you will need to obtain configuration parameters from your ISP in order to manually establish an Internet connection. The necessary parameters for various connection types are listed in Table 2-1. To manually configure your WAN1 ISP Settings: 1. Select Network > WAN Settings > WAN1 ISP Settings and enter the following: 2. In the ISP Login options, choose one of these options: • If your ISP requires an initial login to establish an Internet connection, click Yes (this is the default). • If a login is not required, click No and ignore the Login and Password fields. Figure 2-6 3. If you clicked Yes, enter the ISP-provided Login and Password information. 4. In the ISP Type options, select the type of ISP connection you use from the three listed options. (By default, “Other (PPPoE)” is selected, as shown below. Figure 2-7 (If your connection is PPPoE, PPTP or BigPond Cable, your ISP will require an initial login.) 5. If you have installed login software such as WinPoET or Enternet, then your connection type is PPPoE. If your ISP uses PPPoE as a login protocol: Connecting the FVS336G to the Internet v1.0, October 2007 2-9 ProSafe Dual WAN Gigabit Firewall with SSL & IPsec VPN FVS336G Reference Manual a. Select Other (PPPoE). Figure 2-8 b. Configure the following fields: • Account Name. Valid account name for the PPPoE connection • Domain Name.

Click Apply to save any changes to the WAN1 ISP Settings. (Or click Reset to discard any changes and revert to the previous settings.) 13. Click Test to evaluate your entries. The VPN firewall will attempt to connect to the NETGEAR Web site. If a successful connection is made, NETGEAR’s Web site appears. 14. If you intend to use a dual WAN mode, click the WAN2 ISP Settings tab and configure the WAN2 ISP settings using the same steps as WAN1. When you are finished, click Logout or proceed to additional setup and management tasks. Configuring the WAN Mode (Required for Dual WAN) The dual WAN ports of the ProSafe Dual WAN Gigabit Firewall with SSL & IPsec VPN can be configured on a mutually exclusive basis for either auto-rollover (for increased system reliability) or load balancing (for maximum bandwidth efficiency), or one port can be disabled. • Auto-Rollover Mode. The selected WAN interface is made primary and the other is the rollover link. As long as the primary link is up, all traffic is sent over the primary link. Once the primary WAN interface goes down, the rollover link is brought up to send the traffic.Traffic will automatically roll back to the original primary link once the original primary link is back up and running again. 2-12 Connecting the FVS336G to the Internet v1.0, October 2007 ProSafe Dual WAN Gigabit Firewall with SSL & IPsec VPN FVS336G Reference Manual If you want to use a redundant ISP link for backup purposes, select the WAN port that will act as the primary link for this mode. Ensure that the backup WAN port has also been configured and that you configure the WAN Failure Detection Method to support Auto-Rollover. • Load Balancing Mode. The VPN firewall distributes the outbound traffic equally among the WAN interfaces that are functional. Note: Scenarios could arise when load balancing needs to be bypassed for certain traffic or applications. If certain traffic needs to travel on a specific WAN interface, configure protocol binding rules for that WAN interface. The rule should match the desired traffic. • Single WAN Port Mode. The selected WAN interface is made primary and the other is disabled. For whichever WAN mode you choose, you must also choose either NAT or classical routing, as explained in the following sections. Network Address Translation Network Address Translation (NAT) allows all PCs on your LAN to share a single public Internet IP address. From the Internet, there is only a single device (the VPN firewall) and a single IP address. PCs on your LAN can use any private IP address range, and these IP addresses are not visible from the Internet. • The VPN firewall uses NAT to select the correct PC (on your LAN) to receive any incoming data. • If you only have a single public Internet IP address, you MUST use NAT. (the default setting). • If your ISP has provided you with multiple public IP addresses, you can use one address as the primary shared address for Internet access by your PCs, and you can map incoming traffic on the other public IP addresses to specific PCs on your LAN. This one-to-one inbound mapping is configured using an inbound firewall rule. Classical Routing In classical routing mode, the VPN firewall performs routing, but without NAT. To gain Internet access, each PC on your LAN must have a valid static Internet IP address. If your ISP has allocated a number of static IP addresses to you, and you have assigned one of these addresses to each PC, you can choose classical routing. Or, you can use classical routing for routing private IP addresses within a campus environment. Connecting the FVS336G to the Internet v1.0, October 2007 2-13 ProSafe Dual WAN Gigabit Firewall with SSL & IPsec VPN FVS336G Reference Manual To learn the status of the WAN ports, you can view the Router Status page (see “Monitoring VPN Tunnel Connection Status” on page 9-15) or look at the LEDs on the front panel (see “Front Panel Features” on page 1-6). Configuring Auto-Rollover Mode To use a redundant ISP link for backup purposes, ensure that the backup WAN port has already been configured. Then select the WAN port that will act as the primary link for this mode and configure the WAN Failure Detection Method to support Auto-Rollover. When the VPN firewall is configured in Auto-Rollover Mode, it uses the selected WAN Failure Detection Method to check the connection of the primary link at regular intervals to detect router status. Link failure is detected in one of the following ways: • By sending DNS queries to a DNS server, or • By sending a Ping request to an IP address, or • None (no failure detection is performed). From each WAN interface, DNS queries or Ping requests are sent to the specified IP address. If replies are not received, after a specified number of retries, the corresponding WAN interface is considered down. To configure the dual WAN ports for Auto-Rollover 1. Select Network > WAN Settings from the main menu and click the WAN Mode tab. The WAN Mode tab is displayed 2-14 Connecting the FVS336G to the Internet v1.0, October 2007 ProSafe Dual WAN Gigabit Firewall with SSL & IPsec VPN FVS336G Reference Manual Figure 2-11 2. In the Port Mode section, select Auto-Rollover Using WAN port. 3. From the pull-down menu, choose which WAN port will act as the primary link for this mode. 4. In the WAN Failure Detection Method section, select one of the following detection failure methods: • DNS lookup using ISP DNS Servers. DNS queries are sent to the DNS server configured on the WAN ISP pages (see “Configuring the Internet Connections” on page 2-5). • DNS lookup using this DNS Server. Enter a public DNS server. DNS queries are sent to this server through the WAN interface being monitored. • Ping to this IP addresses. Enter a public IP address that will not reject the Ping request and will not consider Ping traffic to be abusive. Queries are sent to this server through the WAN interface being monitored. 5. Enter a Retry Interval in seconds. The DNS query or Ping is sent periodically after every test period. The default test period is 30 seconds. Connecting the FVS336G to the Internet v1.0, October 2007 2-15 ProSafe Dual WAN Gigabit Firewall with SSL & IPsec VPN FVS336G Reference Manual 6. Enter the Failover after count. The WAN interface is considered down after the configured number of queries have failed to elicit a reply. The rollover link is brought up after this. The Failover default is 4 failures. The default time to roll over after the primary WAN interface fails is 2 minutes (a 30-second minimum test period for a minimum of 4 tests). 7. Click Apply to save your settings. Once a rollover occurs, an alert will be generated (see “E-Mail Notifications of Event Logs and Alerts” on page 4-25). When the VPN firewall detects that the failed primary WAN interface has been restored, it will automatically rollover again to the primary WAN interface. Alternatively, you can manually force traffic back on the original primary WAN interface by reapplying the Auto-Rollover settings in the WAN Mode menu. Configuring Load Balancing To use multiple ISP links simultaneously, select Load Balancing. In Load Balancing mode, either WAN port will carry any outbound protocol unless protocol binding is configured. When a protocol is bound to a particular WAN port, all outgoing traffic of that protocol will be directed to the bound WAN port. For example, if the HTTPS protocol is bound to WAN1 and the FTP protocol is bound to WAN2, then the VPN firewall will automatically route all outbound HTTPS traffic from the computers on the LAN through the WAN1 port. All outbound FTP traffic will be routed through the WAN2 port. Protocol binding Protocol binding addresses two issues: • Segregation of traffic between links that are not of the same speed. High volume traffic can be routed through the WAN port connected to a high speed link and low volume traffic can be routed through the WAN port connected to the low speed link. • Continuity of source IP address for secure connections. Some services, particularly HTTPS, will cease responding when a client’s source IP address changes shortly after a session has been established. To configure the dual WAN ports for load balancing with protocol binding: 1. Select Network >WAN Settings, and click the WAN Mode tab. 2. In the Port Mode section, select Load Balancing. 2-16 Connecting the FVS336G to the Internet v1.0, October 2007 ProSafe Dual WAN Gigabit Firewall with SSL & IPsec VPN FVS336G Reference Manual 3. Click view protocol bindings (if required). The WAN1 Protocol Bindings screen is displayed. Figure 2-12 Enter the following data in the Add Protocol Binding options: a. Service. From the pull-down menu, choose the desired Service or application to be covered by this rule. If the desired service or application does not appear in the list, you must define it using the Services menu (see “Services-Based Rules” on page 4-2). b. Source Network. These settings determine which computers on your network are affected by this rule. Select the desired options: • Any. All PCs and devices on your LAN. • Single address. Enter the required address and the rule will be applied to that particular PC. • Address range. If this option is selected, you must enter the start and finish fields. • Group 1-Group 8. If this option is selected, the devices assigned to this group will be affected. (You may also assign a customized name to the group. See Edit Group Names on the Groups and Hosts menu in the LAN Groups sub-menu.) c. Destination Network. These settings determine which Internet locations are covered by the rule, based on their IP address. Select the desired option: • Any. All Internet IP address are covered by this rule. • Single address. Enter the required address in the start field. Connecting the FVS336G to the Internet v1.0, October 2007 2-17 ProSafe Dual WAN Gigabit Firewall with SSL & IPsec VPN FVS336G Reference Manual • Address range. If this option is selected, you must enter the start and finish fields. 4. Click Add to save this rule. The new Protocol Binding Rule will be enabled and added to the Protocol Binding Table for the WAN1 port. 5. Open the WAN2 Protocol Bindings tab and repeat the previous steps to set protocol bindings for the WAN2 port. Configuring Dynamic DNS (Optional) Dynamic DNS (DDNS) is an Internet service that allows routers with varying public IP addresses to be located using Internet domain names. To use DDNS, you must setup an account with a DDNS provider such as DynDNS.org, TZO.com or Iego.net. (Links to DynDNS, TZO and Iego are provided for your convenience on the Dynamic DNS Configuration screen.) The VPN firewall firmware includes software that notifies dynamic DNS servers of changes in the WAN IP address, so that the services running on this network can be accessed by others on the Internet. If your network has a permanently assigned IP address, you can register a domain name and have that name linked with your IP address by public Domain Name Servers (DNS). However, if your Internet account uses a dynamically assigned IP address, you will not know in advance what your IP address will be, and the address can change frequently—hence, the need for a commercial DDNS service, which allows you to register an extension to its domain, and restores DNS requests for the resulting FQDN to your frequently-changing IP address. After you have configured your account information in the firewall, whenever your ISP-assigned IP address changes, your firewall will automatically contact your DDNS service provider, log in to your account, and register your new IP address. • For auto-rollover mode, you will need a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) to implement features such as exposed hosts and virtual private networks regardless of whether you have a fixed or dynamic IP address. • For load balancing mode, you may still need a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) either for convenience or if you have a dynamic IP address. Note: If your ISP assigns a private WAN IP address such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x, the dynamic DNS service will not work because private addresses will not be routed on the Internet. 2-18 Connecting the FVS336G to the Internet v1.0, October 2007 ProSafe Dual WAN Gigabit Firewall with SSL & IPsec VPN FVS336G Reference Manual To configure Dynamic DNS: 1. Select Network > Dynamic DNS from the main menu and click the Dynamic DNS Configuration tab. THe Dynamic DNS Configuration screen is displayed. Figure 2-13 The Current WAN Mode section reports the currently configured WAN mode. (For example, Single Port WAN1, Load Balancing or Auto Rollover.) Only those options that match the configured WAN Mode will be accessible. 2. Select the Dynamic DNS Service you will use. The fields corresponding to the selection you have chosen will be activated. Each DDNS service provider requires its own parameters. Connecting the FVS336G to the Internet v1.0, October 2007 2-19 ProSafe Dual WAN Gigabit Firewall with SSL & IPsec VPN FVS336G Reference Manual 3. Access the Web site of one of the DDNS service providers and set up an account. Links to three DDNS providers are in the tab header. Figure 2-14 4. After registering for your account, return to the Dynamic DNS Configuration menu and fill in the required fields for the DDNS service you selected: a. In the Host and Domain Name field, enter the entire FQDN name that your dynamic DNS service provider gave you (for example:.dyndns.org). b. Enter the User Name, User email Address, or Account Name requested by the DDNS Service to identify you when logging into your DDNS account. c. Enter the Password, or User Key, for your DDNS account. d. If your dynamic DNS provider allows the use of wildcards in resolving your URL, check Use wildcards to activate this feature. For example, the wildcard feature will cause anything.yourhost.dyndns.org to be aliased to the same IP address as yourhost.dyndns.org e. If your dynamic DNS provider requires you to renew your account monthly, check Update every 30 days to have the VPN firewall renew the account automatically. 5. Click Apply to save your configuration. Configuring the Advanced WAN Options (Optional) To configure the Advanced WAN options: 1. Select Network > WAN Settings from the main menu. The WAN! ISP Settings screen will display. 2-20 Connecting the FVS336G to the Internet v1.0, October 2007 ProSafe Dual WAN Gigabit Firewall with SSL & IPsec VPN FVS336G Reference Manual 2. Click the Advanced link to the right of the tabs. The WAN1 Advanced Options tab is displayed (along with the WAN2 Advanced Options tab). Figure 2-15 3. Edit the default information you want to change. a. MTU Size. The normal MTU (Maximum Transmit Unit) value for most Ethernet networks is 1500 Bytes, or 1492 Bytes for PPPoE connections. For some ISPs, you may need to reduce the MTU. This is rarely required, and should not be done unless you are sure it is necessary for your ISP connection. b. Port Speed. In most cases, your VPN firewall can automatically determine the connection speed of the WAN port. If you cannot establish an Internet connection and the WAN Link or Speed LED blinks continuously, you may need to manually select the port speed. AutoSense is the default. If you know the Ethernet port speed that your broadband modem supports, select it; otherwise, select 10M. Use the half-duplex settings unless you are sure your broadband modem supports full duplex. c. Router's MAC Address. Each computer or router on your network has a unique 32-bit local Ethernet address. This is also referred to as the computer's MAC (Media Access Control) address. The default is Use default address. However, if your ISP requires MAC authentication, then select either of these options: • Use this Computer's MAC address to have the VPN firewall use the MAC address of the computer you are now using, or • Use This MAC Address to manually type in the MAC address that your ISP expects. Connecting the FVS336G to the Internet v1.0, October 2007 2-21 ProSafe Dual WAN Gigabit Firewall with SSL & IPsec VPN FVS336G Reference Manual The format for the MAC address is 01:23:45:67:89:AB (numbers 0-9 and either uppercase or lowercase letters A-F). If you select Use This MAC Address and then type in a MAC address, your entry will be overwritten. 4. Click Apply to save your changes. Additional WAN Related Configuration • If you want the ability to manage the firewall remotely, enable remote management at this time (see “Enabling Remote Management Access” on page 8-10). If you enable remote management, we strongly recommend that you change your password (see “Changing Passwords and Administrator Settings” on page 8-8). • At this point, you can set up the traffic meter for each WAN, if desired. See “Enabling the Traffic Meter” on page 9-1. 2-22 Connecting the FVS336G to the Internet v1.0, October 2007
