ProSafe Dual WAN Gigabit Firewall with SSL & IPsec VPN FVS336Gv2 Reference Manual
- For load balancing mode, decide which protocols should be bound to a
specific WAN port.
- You can also add your own service protocols to the list.
2. Set up your accounts
a. Obtain active Internet services such as cable or DSL broadband accounts and locate
the Internet Service Provider (ISP) configuration information.
• In this document, the WAN side of the network is presumed to be provisioned as
shown in , with two ISPs connected to the VPN firewall through separate physical
facilities.
• Each WAN port must be configured separately whether you are using a separate
ISP for each WAN port or are having the traffic of both WAN ports routed through
the same ISP.
Figure B-1
• If your ISP charges by the volume of data traffic each month, consider enabling a
traffic meter to monitor or limit your traffic.
b. Contact a Dynamic DNS Service and register fully qualified domain names for one or
both WAN ports.
3. Plan your network management approach
• The VPN firewall can be managed remotely, but this feature must be enabled locally
after each factory default reset.
You are strongly advised to change the default management password to a strong
password before enabling remote management.
• You can choose a variety of WAN options if the factory default settings are not
suitable for your installation. These options include enabling a WAN port to respond to
a ping, and setting MTU size, port speed, and upload bandwidth.
4. Prepare to physically connect the VPN firewall to your cable or DSL modems and a
computer. Instruction for connecting your VPN firewall are in the Installation Guide,
FVS336G ProSafe Dual WAN Gigabit Firewall with SSL & IPsec VPN.
Cabling and Computer Hardware Requirements
To use the VPN firewall on your network, each computer must have an installed Ethernet
Network Interface Card (NIC) and an Ethernet cable. If the computer will connect to your
