xx WatchGuard Firebox SOHO 6 Wireless

CHAPTER 1 Introduction

This manual shows how to use your WatchGuard® Firebox®
SOHO 6 Wireless or SOHO 6tc Wireless security appliance for
secure access to the Internet.

User Guide 1

The only difference between these two appliances is the VPN
feature. VPN is available as an upgrade option for the SOHO 6
Wireless. The SOHO 6tc Wireless includes the VPN upgrade
option.

The SOHO 6 Wireless provides security and wireless networking
when your computer is connected to the Internet with a high­speed cable modem, DSL modem, leased line, or ISDN.

The newest installation and user information is available from the
WatchGuard Web site:

How does a firewall work?

The Internet connects your network to resources. Some examples
of resources are the World Wide Web, email and video/audio

How does a firewall work?

conferencing. A connection to the Internet is dangerous to the
privacy and the security of your network. A firewall divides your
internal network from the Internet to reduce this danger. The
appliances on the trusted side of your SOHO 6 Wireless firewall
are protected. The illustration below shows how the SOHO 6
Wireless physically divides your trusted network from the
Internet.

The SOHO 6 Wireless controls all traffic between the external
network (the Internet) and the trusted network (your computers).
All suspicious traffic is stopped. The rules and policies that
identify the suspicious traffic are shown in “Configure incoming
and outgoing services” on page 71.

User Guide 3

How does information travel on the Internet?

The data that is sent through the Internet is divided into packets.
To make sure that the packets are received at the destination,
information is added to the packets. The protocols for these tasks
are called TCP and IP. TCP disassembles and reassembles the data,
for example an email message or a program file. IP adds
information to the packets, which includes the destination and the
handling requirements.

IP addresses

An IP address identifies a computer on the Internet that sends and
receives packets. Each computer on the Internet has an address.
The SOHO 6 Wireless is also a computer and has an IP address.
When you configure a service behind a firewall, you must include
the trusted network IP address for the computer that supplies the
service.

A URL (Uniform Resource Locator) identifies each IP address on
the Internet. An example of a URL is:

http://www.watchguard.com/.

Protocols

A protocol defines how a packet is assembled and transmitted
through a network. The most frequently used protocols are TCP
and UDP (User Datagram Protocol). There are other IP protocols
that are less frequently used.

Port numbers

During the communication between computers, port numbers
identify which programs or applications are connected.

How does the SOHO 6 Wireless process
information?

Services

A service is the group of protocols and port numbers for a
specified program or type of application. The standard
configuration of the SOHO 6 Wireless contains the correct settings
for many standard services.

Network Address Translation

All connections from the trusted network to the external network
through a SOHO 6 Wireless use dynamic NAT. Dynamic NAT
prevents that private IP addresses from your trusted network are
sent through the Internet.

The SOHO 6 Wireless replaces the private IP addresses with the
public IP address to protect the trusted network. Each packet sent
through the Internet contains IP address information. Packets sent
through the SOHO 6 Wireless with Dynamic NAT include only the
public IP address of the SOHO 6 Wireless and not the private IP
address of the computer in the trusted network. Because only the
IP address of the SOHO 6 Wireless is sent to the external network,
unauthorized access by the computers in the public network to the
computers in the trusted network is prevented.

How Does Wireless Networking Work?

Wireless networking creates a network by transmitting and
receiving data as radio-frequency signals between your computers
and the SOHO 6 Wireless using the 802.11b standard defined by

User Guide 5

the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and is
part of a series of wireless standards.

Unless adequately protected, a wireless network is susceptible to
access from the outside by unauthorized users to compromise your
machine or simply to access a free Internet connection.

Increase your corporate network security by forcing users to
authenticate with a Mobile User VPN client, creating a secure
IPSec tunnel from the wireless computer to the SOHO 6 Wireless.
Separation of the trusted network from the optional network
further protects the connection from the wireless computer to the
SOHO 6 Wireless. For information on how to configure this, see
Chapter 11 “MUVPN Clients” on page 119.

SOHO 6 Wireless hardware description

The hardware of the SOHO 6 Wireless uses newer technology than

Understanding IEEE 802.11b Wireless Communication

In general, transmitted RF power and signal bandwidth place an
upper limit on the rate that data can be transmitted over a wireless
link. The basic equation to determines the maximum data rate is:

Channel Capacity =
Channel Bandwidth x Log2(1 + Signal Strength/Noise Level

This equation says the maximum amount of data (bits/s) that can
be transmitted over a given channel depends on:

• The Channel Bandwidth: (22Mbits/s) for 802.11b

• The Signal Strength: (15dBm transmitted) for Soho6 Wireless

• The Noise Level: Depends on the channel environment and
the receiver design.

Data rate cannot exceed channel capacity. Channel capacity
depends on signal strength, noise, and transmitted power.

User Guide 7

Noise Level (watts)

The more in-band RF noise there is the less data can be
transmitted over a given channel (wireless link). The noise
level is primarily due to three factors:

First, there is a minimum level of background noise due to
the ambient temperature of the channel (atmosphere) and
the bandwidth.

Second, the 802.11b receiver will have an innate noise level
due to its own components operating temperature.

Third, there are many unlicensed transmitters using the
same frequency bands as 802.11. Some of these are:

- Cordless phones,

- Other 802.11b devices operating on adjacent channels.

Note that only channels 1, 6, and11 are unique. All other
channels overlap because while the center frequencies
increment by 5MHz per channel, the bandwidths are
22MHz.

-Microwave ovens,

- Sodium type lighting systems (fusion lamps),

- Arc welders (broadband spark gap transmitters)

- Blue-Tooth transmitters. Note that a Blue-Tooth

transmitter operates at lower power levels and would
need to be near an 802.11b receiver to interfere with it.

- Industrial, Scientific, and Medical equipment can also use

these bands.

Signal Strength (watts)

The signal strength depends primarily on:

- How much RF signal power is transmitted

8 WatchGuard Firebox SOHO 6 Wireless

SOHO 6 Wireless hardware description

- How much directional antenna gain there is at the

transmitter and receiver

- The signal attenuation (path-loss) between the transmitter

and receiver.

Path Loss:

The path-loss is directly proportional to line-of-site
distance between transmitter and receiver, and inversely
proportional to the wavelength of the transmitted signal.
The equation for Signal Loss is:

Loss = 20xLog10(4xpi x(Distance/Wavelength)).

- Wavelength = (speed-of-light/ frequency). This means

that the higher the frequency the shorter the wavelength
and the greater the path-loss will be for a given frequency.

- For an average office environment, a rule-of-thumb is that

line-of-sight signal loss will only pertain to about the first
20 feet and will then increase by about 30 dB per 100 feet,
due the effect of walls, and cubicles and widows, etc.

Second, the signals can arrive by different paths depending
on how many surfaces reflect the signal. This is called
multi-path. Many surfaces will reflect a signal at 2.4 GHz.
The problem is that some combinations of reflected signals
will result in cancellation at a given point, thus by moving a
receiver by as little as ½ wavelength, the signal could vary
by as much as 30dB. The effect is called fading due to
multi-path reflections.

The signal fading effect is highly dependent on antenna
position, so the SOHO 6 Wireless uses antenna receiver
diversity (2 antennas spaced more than ½ wavelength
apart) to reduce the effect of multi-path fading. On the
SOHO 6 Wireless the antenna receiving the stronger signal
is selected automatically.

User Guide 9

NOTE

Laptop computers typically have one antenna, which is more susceptible
to signal fading depending on position. This can lead to a situation where
the SOHO 6 Wireless hears the laptop’s signal, but the laptop doesn’t
hear the access point.

Antenna Directional Gain:

Antenna Gain is the result of how directional the radiation
(transmit/receive signal strength) pattern is. The higher the
gain, then the more directional the antenna is.

The SOHO 6 Wireless ships with 5dBi antennas. This
means they have a maximum 5 dBi gain pattern
perpendicular to the antenna position. A laptop computer
antenna gain will vary but might be as low as -10dBi for
embedded wireless antennas.

Transmitted Power:

SOHO 6 Wireless transmits at 15dBm (0.032 watts), which
is compatible with US and European and other
requirements. In the USA 802.11b devices may transmit at
up to (1 watt) and up to (0.1 watt) in Europe. Allocated
channels vary for USA and Europe.

Signal strength is a function, both of how much power was
transmitted, and how much power was received. This is impacted
by the antenna gain at the transmitter and receiver as well as the
distance and the environment in between them. Due principally to
the effect of cluttered environment, signal loss increases faster in
an office building than it would for line-of-sight transmission.

Channel Bandwidth:

This varies with the type of modulation scheme. 802.11b devices
use CCK (11 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps), DQPSK (2 Mbps), and DBPSK

10 WatchGuard Firebox SOHO 6 Wireless

SOHO 6 Wireless hardware description

(1Mbps). The factor that determines which modulation scheme is
used is the Packet Error Rate (PER). The modulation scheme
switches automatically to maintain the PER at or below 8% by
using slower data rates (different modulation schemes) as
necessary.

CHAPTER 4 Configure the

Network Interfaces

External Network Configuration

When you configure the external network, you select the method
of communication between the SOHO 6 Wireless and the ISP.
Make this selection based on the method of network address
distribution in use by your ISP. The possible methods are static
addressing, DHCP, or PPPoE.

Network addressing

To connect to a TCP/IP network, each computer must have an IP
address. The assignment of IP addresses is dynamic or static.

• If the assignment is dynamic, the ISP assigns a different IP
address to a computer each time the computer connects to
the network. When the computer disconnects, the IP address
is made available to a different computer.

User Guide 37

• If the assignment is static, all computers on the network have
a permanently assigned IP address. There are no computers
that have the same IP address.

Most ISPs make dynamic IP address assignments through DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). When a computer
connects to the network, a DHCP server at the ISP assigns that
computer an IP address. The manual assignment of IP addresses is
not necessary with this system.

Some ISPs assign the IP addresses through PPPoE (Point-to-Point
Protocol over Ethernet). PPPoE emulates a standard dial-up
connection to provide some of the features of Ethernet and PPP.
This system allows the ISP to use the billing, authentication, and
security systems designed for dial-up, DSL modem and cable
modem service. When the SOHO 6 Wireless is configured to use
PPPoE, a button on the System Status page controls the connection
to the external network.

Your ISP can tell you how their system assigns the IP addresses.

Configure the SOHO 6 Wireless external network
for dynamic addressing

The default configuration sets the SOHO 6 Wireless to get the
external address information through DHCP. If your ISP supports
this method, the SOHO 6 Wireless gets IP address information
from the ISP when the SOHO 6 Wireless reboots and connects to
the Internet. The SOHO 6 Wireless does not require any additional
configuration.

Configure the SOHO 6 Wireless external network
for static addressing

If your ISP assigns static IP address, you must move the IP address
data from your computer to the SOHO 6 Wireless. This

38 WatchGuard Firebox SOHO 6 Wireless

Configure the Trusted Network

The DHCP Server option sets the SOHO 6 Wireless to assign IP
addresses to the computers on the trusted network. The SOHO 6
Wireless uses DHCP to make the assignments. When the SOHO 6
Wireless receives a request from a new computer on the trusted
network, the SOHO 6 Wireless assigns the computer an IP address.

Configure the Wireless Network

Configure the Wireless Network

Once you turned on the wireless network by enabling the optional
network, you can set up the security setting for your wireless
connection.

Configure Security

The SOHO 6 Wireless uses the industry standard security protocol,
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), specified by the IEEE standard

802.11b. WEP is designed to provide a wireless local area network
(WLAN) with a level of security and privacy comparable to that
usually expected of a wired local area network (LAN). A wired
LAN is generally protected by physical security, such as login
credentials, that are only effective for a controlled physical
environment, because the radio transmissions of a WLAN are not
bound by the walls containing the network. WEP achieves security
by encrypting the data transmitted over the WLAN. Data
encryption protects the vulnerable wireless connection between
computers and access points; once this measure has been taken,
other typical LAN security mechanisms such as password
protection, virtual private networks (VPNs), and authentication
can be used to ensure privacy.

Follow these instructions to set up wireless security:

connect to the SOHO 6 Wireless through a secure (IPSec)
VPN tunnel. The MUVPN client creates an encrypted
tunnel to your trusted or optional network depending on if
it is a wired or wireless connection. A wired connection
goes to the trusted and the wireless connection goes to the
optional. If you have a wireless network, you can configure
the wireless network to require wireless computers to have
an encrypted MUVPN connection to access the SOHO 6
Wireless. The SOHO 6 Wireless includes several MUVPN
client licenses. You can add more MUVPN connections

communication channel between a computer on the external
network and a computer on the trusted network. To use a SOCKS­compatible application, configure the application with the
necessary information about the SOHO 6 Wireless.

The SOHO 6 Wireless supports SOCKS version 5 only. The
SOHO 6 Wireless does not support authentication or DNS
(Domain Name System) resolution.
