What Is the NETGEAR ProSAFE VPN Firewall FVS318G v2?
The NETGEAR ProSAFE VPN Firewall FVS318G v2, hereafter referred to as the VPN
firewall, connects your local area network (LAN) to the Internet through an external
broadband access device such as a cable or DSL modem, satellite or wireless Internet dish,
or another router.
The VPN firewall routes both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic. A powerful, flex
IPv4 and IPv6 networks from denial of service (DoS) attacks, unwanted traffic, and traffic with
objectionable content. IPv6 traffic is supported through 6to4 and Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel
Addressing Protocol (ISATAP) tunnels.
The VPN firewall provides advanced IPSec VPN technologies with support
VPN tunnels, as well as L2TP support for easy and secure remote connections. The use of
Gigabit Ethernet WAN and LAN ports ensures high data transfer speeds.

Advanced VPN Support for IPSec
The VPN firewall supports IPSec virtual private network (VPN) connections. IPSec VPN
delivers full network access between a central office and branch offices, or between a central
office and telecommuters. Remote access by telecommuters requires the installation of VPN
client software on the remote computer. Advantages include:
•IPSec VPN with broad p

•Up to 12 simult
•Bundled with a 30-da

y trial license for the ProSafe VPN Client software (VPN01L)
A Powerful, True Firewall
Unlike simple NAT routers, the VPN firewall is a true firewall, using stateful packet inspection
(SPI) to defend against hacker attacks. Its firewall features provide the following capabilities:

Security Features
The VPN firewall is equipped with several features designed to maintain security:
•Computers hidden by
originating from the local network. Requests originating from outside the LAN are
discarded, preventing users outside the LAN from finding and directly accessing the
computers on the LAN.
•Port forwarding with NA

traffic to specific computers based on the service port number of the incoming request.
•DMZ port.
unless the traffic is a response to one of your local computers or a service for which you
configured an inbound rule. Instead of discarding this traffic, you can use the dedicated
demilitarized zone (DMZ) port to forward the traffic to one computer on your network.
Incoming traffic from the Internet is usually discarded by the VPN firewall

Autosensing Ethernet Connections with Auto Uplink
With its internal eight-port 10/100/1000 Mbps switch and 10/100/1000 WAN port, the VPN
firewall can connect to either a 10 Mbps standard Ethernet network, a 100 Mbps Fast
Ethernet network, or a 1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet network. The LAN and WAN interfaces
are autosensing and capable of full-duplex or half-duplex operation.
Introduction
10
NETGEAR ProSAFE VPN Firewall FVS318G v2
The VPN firewall incorporates Auto UplinkTM technology. Each Ethernet port automatically
senses whether the Ethernet cable plugged into the port should use a normal connection
such as to a computer or an uplink connection such as to a switch or hub. That port then
configures itself correctly. This feature eliminates the need for you to think about crossover
cables, as Auto Uplink accommodates either type of cable to make the right connection.
Extensive Protocol Support
The VPN firewall supports the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and
Routing Information Protocol (RIP). The VPN firewall provides the following protocol support:
P address sharing by NAT. The VPN firewall

•DNS proxy. When DHCP is enabled and no DNS addresses are specified, the firewa
provides its own address as a DNS server to the attached computers. The firewall obtains
actual DNS addresses from the ISP during connection setup and forwards DNS requests
from the LAN.

Requirements for Entering IP Addresses
To connect to the VPN firewall, your computer must be configured to obtain an IP address
automatically from the VPN firewall, either an IPv4 address through DHCP or an IPv6
address through DHCPv6, or both.
Introduction
22
NETGEAR ProSAFE VPN Firewall FVS318G v2
IPv4 Addresses
The fourth octet of an IP address must be between 0 and 255 (both inclusive). This
requirement applies to any IP address that you enter on a screen of the web management
interface.
IPv6 Addresses
IPv6 addresses are denoted by eight groups of hexadecimal quartets that are separated by
colons. Any four-digit group of zeros within an IPv6 address can be reduced to a single zero
or altogether omitted.
The following errors invalidate an IPv6 address:
•More than eight groups of hexadecimal quartets
•More than four hexadecimal characters in a quartet
•More than two colons in a row

Internet and WAN Configuration Tasks
The tasks that are required to complete the Internet connection of your VPN firewall depend
on whether you use an IPv4 connection or an IPv6 connection to your Internet service
provider (ISP). The VPN firewall supports simultaneous IPv4 and IPv6 connections.
IPv4 Internet Connections
Setting up an IPv4 Internet connection to your ISP includes five tasks, three of which are
optional.
To set up an IPv4 Internet connection:

Network Address Translation
Network Address Translation (NAT) allows all computers on your LAN to share a single public
Internet IP address. From the Internet, only a single device (the VPN firewall) and a single IP
address exist. Computers on your LAN can use any private IP address range, and these IP
addresses are not visible from the Internet.
Note the following about NAT:
•The VPN firewall uses NAT to select the correct computer (on your L

NAT (the default setting).
Classical Routing
In classical routing mode, the VPN firewall performs routing, but without NAT. To gain Internet
access, each computer on your LAN must be assigned a valid static Internet IP address.

If your ISP allocated a number of static IP addresses to you, and
addresses to each computer, you can choose classical routing. Or you can use classical
routing for routing private IP addresses within a campus environment.
