Chapter 1

Introduction

The ProSafe Dual WAN Gigabit Firewall with SSL & IPsec VPN connects your local area network (LAN) to the Internet through one or two external broadband access devices such as cable modems or DSL modems. Dual wide area network (WAN) ports allow you to increase throughput to the Internet by using both ports together, or to maintain a backup connection in case of failure of your primary Internet connection.

As a complete security solution, the FVS336G incorporates a powerful and flexible firewall to safeguard your network, while providing advanced IPsec and SSL VPN technologies for secure and simple remote connections.

The use of Gigabit Ethernet LAN and WAN ports ensures extremely high data transfer speeds The FVS336G is a plug-and-play device that can be installed and co nfigured within minutes. This chapter contains the following sections:

• “Key Features” on page 1-1

• “Package Contents” on page 1-5

• “Front Panel Features” on page 1-6

• “Rear Panel Features” on page 1-7

• “Default IP Address, Login Name, and Password Location” on page 1-8

• “Qualified Web Browsers” on page 1-8

Key Features

The VPN firewall provides the following key features:

• Dual 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet WAN ports for load balancing or failover protection of your Internet connection, providing increased system reliability or increased throughput.

• Built-in four-port 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet LAN switch for extremely fast data transfer between local network resources.

• Advanced IPsec and SSL VPN support.

• Advanced stateful packet inspection (SPI) firewall with multi-NAT support.

1-1

v1.2, June 2008

ProSafe Dual WAN Gigabit Firewall with SSL & IPsec VPN FVS336G Reference Manual

• Easy, web-based setup for installation and management.

• Front panel LEDs for easy monitoring of status and activity.

• Flash memory for firmware upgrade.

• Internal universal switching power supply.

Dual WAN Ports for Increased Reliability or Outbound Load Balancing

The FVS336G has two broadband WAN ports. The second WAN port allows you to connect a second broadband Internet line that can be configured on a mutually-exclusive basis to:

• Provide backup and rollover if one line is inoperable, ensuring you are never disconnected.

• Load balance, or use both Internet lines simultaneously for outgoing traffic. The firewall balances users between the two lines for maximum bandwidth efficiency.

See “Network Planning for Dual WAN Ports” on page C-1 for the planning factors to consider when implementing the following capabilities with dual WAN port gateways:

• Single or multiple exposed hosts.

• V irtual private networks.

Advanced VPN Support for Both IPsec and SSL

The VPN firewall supports IPsec and SSL 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.

– IPsec VPN with broad protocol support for secure connection to other IPsec gateways and

clients.

– Bundled with the single-user license of the NETGEAR ProSafe VPN Client software

(VPN01L)

– Supports 25 concurrent IPsec VPN tunnels.

• SSL VPN provides remote access for mobile users to selected corporate resources without requiring a pre-installed VPN client on their computers.

– Uses the familiar Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol, commonly used for e-commerce

transactions, to provide client-free access with customizable user portals and support for a wide variety of user repositories.

1-2 Introduction

v1.2, June 2008

ProSafe Dual WAN Gigabit Firewall with SSL & IPsec VPN FVS336G Reference Manual

– Browser based, platform-independent, remote access through a number of popular

browsers, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Apple Safari.

– Provides granular access to corporate resources based upon user type or group

membership.

– Supports 10 concurrent SSL VPN sessions.

A Powerful, True Firewall with Content Filtering

Unlike simple Internet sharing NAT routers, the FVS336G is a true firewall, using stateful packet inspection (SPI) to defend against hacker attacks. Its firewall features include:

• Automatically detects and thwarts denial of service (DoS) attacks such as Ping of Death and SYN Flood.

• Blocks unwanted traffic from the Internet to your LAN.

• Blocks access from your LAN to Internet locations or services that you specify as off-limits.

• Prevents objectionable content from reaching your PCs. You can control access to Internet content by screening for Web services, Web addresses, and keywords within Web addresses. You can configure the firewall to log and report attempts to access objectionable Internet sites.

• Permits scheduling of firewall policies by day and time.

• Logs security events such as blocked incoming traffic, port scans, attacks, and administrator logins. You can configure the firewall to email the log to you at specified intervals. You can also configure the firewall to send immediate alert messages to your email address or email pager whenever a significant event occurs.

Autosensing Ethernet Connections with Auto Uplink

With its internal 4-po rt 10/100/1000 Mbps switch and dual 10/100/1000 WAN ports, the FVS336 G can connect to either a 10 Mbps standard Ethernet network, a 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet network, or a 1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet network. The four LAN and two WAN interfaces are autosensing and capable of full-duplex or half-duplex operation.

The FVS336G incorporates Auto Uplink sense whether the Ethernet cable plugged into the port should have a “normal” connection such as to a PC or an “uplink” connection such as to a switch or hub. That port will then configure itself to the correct configuration.

Extensive Protocol Support

The VPN firewall supports the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and Routing Information Protocol

Configuration Requirements” on page C-4.

• IP Address Sharing by NAT. The VPN firewall allows many networked PCs to share an Internet account using only a single IP address, which may be statically or dynamically assigned by your Internet service provider (ISP). This technique, known as NAT, allows the use of an inexpensive single-user ISP account.

• Automatic Configuration of Attached PCs by DHCP. The VPN firewall dynamically assigns network configuration information, including IP, gateway, and domain name server (DNS) addresses, to attached PCs on the LAN using the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This feature greatly simplifies configuration of PCs on your local network.

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

• PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE). PPPoE is a protocol for connecting remote hosts to the Internet over a DSL connection by simulating a dial-up connection. This feature eliminates the need to run a login program such as EnterNet or WinPOET on your PC.

• Quality of Service (QoS) support for traffic prioritization.

(RIP). For further information about TCP/IP, refer to “Internet
