This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the ZyWALL.
1.1 ZyWALL Internet Security Appliance Overview
The ZyWALL is loaded with security features including VPN, firewall, content filtering and
certificates. The ZyWALL’s De-Militarized Zone (DMZ) increases LAN security by
providing separate ports for connecting publicly accessible servers. The ZyWALL is designed
for small and medium sized business that need the increased throughput and reliability of dual
WAN interfaces and load balancing.The ZyWALL provide the option to change port roles
from LAN to DMZ.
You can also deploy the ZyWALL as a transparent firewall in an existing network with
minimal configuration.
The ZyWALL provides bandwidth management, NAT, port forwarding, policy routing,
DHCP server and many other powerful features.
The ZyWALL has a built-in wireless card that allows IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b or IEEE
802.11g compatible clients to securely communicate with the ZyWALL and access the wired
network behind it. You can use the wireless card as part of the LAN, DMZ or WLAN.
Note: Only use firmware for your ZyWALL’s specific model.
See Appendix A on page 245 for a complete list of features.
1.2 Ways to Manage the ZyWALL
Use any of the following methods to manage the ZyWALL.
• Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the ZyWALL
using a (supported) web browser.
• Command Line Interface. Line commands are mostly used for troubleshooting by service
engineers.
• SMT. System Management Terminal is a text-based configuration menu that you can use
to configure your device.
• FTP for firmware upgrades and configuration backup/restore.
• SNMP. The device can be monitored by an SNMP manager. See the SNMP chapter in this
User’s Guide.
ZyWALL 2WG User’s Guide
51
Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your ZyWALL
• Vantage CNM (Centralized Network Management). The device can be remotely managed
using a Vantage CNM server.
1.3 Good Habits for Managing the ZyWALL
Do the following things regularly to make the ZyWALL more secure and to manage the
ZyWALL more effectively.
• Change the password. Use a password that’s not easy to guess and that consists of
different types of characters, such as numbers and letters.
• Write down the password and put it in a safe place.
• Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an
earlier working configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even
crashes. If you forget your password, you will have to reset the ZyWALL to its factory
default settings. If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to
totally re-configure the ZyWALL. You could simply restore your last configuration.
1.4 Applications for the ZyWALL
Here are some examples of what you can do with your ZyWALL.
1.4.1 Secure Broadband Internet Access via Cable or DSL Modem
For Internet access, connect the WAN Ethernet port to your existing Internet access gateway
(company network, or your cable or DSL modem for example). Connect computers or servers
to the LAN, DMZ or WLAN ports for shared Internet access.
The ZyWALL guarantees not only high speed Internet access, but secure internal network
protection and traffic management as well.
Figure 1 Secure Internet Access via Cable or DSL Modem

ZyWALL 2WG User’s Guide
1.4.2 VPN Application
ZyWALL VPN is an ideal cost-effective way to securely connect branch offices, business
partners and telecommuters over the Internet without the need (and expense) for leased lines
between sites.
Figure 2 VPN Application
1.4.3 3G WAN Application
Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your ZyWALL
Insert a 3G card to have the ZyWALL (in router mode) wirelessly access the Internet via a 3G
base station. See Section 8.12 on page 152 for more information about 3G.
With both the primary WAN (physical WAN port) and 3G WAN connections enabled, you
can use load balancing to improve quality of service and maximize bandwidth utilization or set
one of the WAN connections as a backup.

Introducing the Web
Configurator
This chapter describes how to access the ZyWALL web configurator and provides an
overview of its screens.
2.1 Web Configurator Overview
The web configurator is an HTML-based management interface that allows easy ZyWALL
setup and management via Internet browser. Use Internet Explorer 6.0 and later or Netscape
Navigator 7.0 and later versions. The recommended screen resolution is 1024 by 768 pixels.
In order to use the web configurator you need to allow:
• Web browser pop-up windows from your device. Web pop-up blocking is enabled by
default in Windows XP SP (Service Pack) 2.
• JavaScripts (enabled by default).
• Java permissions (enabled by default).
See Appendix C on page 641 if you want to make sure these functions are allowed in Internet
Explorer or Netscape Navigator.
2.2 Accessing the ZyWALL Web Configurator
"By default, the packets from WLAN to WLAN/ZyWALL are dropped and users
cannot configure the ZyWALL wirelessly.
1 Make sure your ZyWALL hardware is properly connected and prepare your computer/
computer network to connect to the ZyWALL (refer to the Quick Start Guide).
2 Launch your web browser.

ZyWALL 2WG User’s Guide
2.3 Resetting the ZyWALL
If you forget your password or cannot access the web configurator, you will need to reload the
factory-default configuration file or use the RESET button on the back of the ZyWALL.
Uploading this configuration file replaces the current configuration file with the factorydefault configuration file. This means that you will lose all configurations that you had
previously and the speed of the console port will be reset to the default of 9600bps with 8 data
bit, no parity, one stop bit and flow control set to none. The password will be reset to 1234,
also.
2.3.1 Procedure To Use The Reset Button
Make sure the SYS LED is on (not blinking) before you begin this procedure.
1 Press the RESET button for ten seconds, and then release it. If the SYS LED begins to
blink, the defaults have been restored and the ZyWALL restarts. Otherwise, go to step 2.
2 Turn the ZyWALL off.
3 While pressing the RESET button, turn the ZyWALL on.
4 Continue to hold the RESET button. The SYS LED will begin to blink andflicker very
quickly after about 20 seconds. This indicates that the defaults have been restored and
the ZyWALL is now restarting.
5 Release the RESETbutton and wait for the ZyWALL to finish restarting.
Chapter 2 Introducing the Web Configurator
2.3.2 Uploading a Configuration File Via Console Port
1 Download the default configuration file from the ZyXEL FTP site, unzip it and save it in

2.4.4 HOME Screen: Bridge Mode
The following screen displays when the ZyWALL is set to bridge mode. In bridge mode, the
ZyWALL functions as a transparent firewall (also known as a bridge firewall). The ZyWALL
bridges traffic traveling between the ZyWALL's interfaces and still filters and inspects
packets. You do not need to change the configuration of your existing network.
In bridge mode, the ZyWALL cannot get an IP address from a DHCP server. The LAN, WAN,
DMZ and WLAN interfaces all have the same (static) IP address and subnet mask. You can
configure the ZyWALL's IP address in order to access the ZyWALL for management. If you
connect your computer directly to the ZyWALL, you also need to assign your computer a
static IP address in the same subnet as the ZyWALL's IP address in order to access the
ZyWALL.
You can use the firewall and VPN in bridge mode. See the user’s guide for a list of other
features that are available in bridge mode.

Chapter 3 Wizard Setup
3.2.1 ISP Parameters
The ZyWALL offers three choices of encapsulation. They are Ethernet, PPTP or PPPoE.
The wizard screen varies according to the type of encapsulation that you select in the
Encapsulation field.
3.2.1.1 Ethernet
For ISPs (such as Telstra) that send UDP heartbeat packets to verify that the customer is still
online, please create a WAN-to-WAN/ZyWALL firewall rule for those packets. Contact your
ISP to find the correct port number.
Choose Ethernet when the WAN port is used as a regular Ethernet.

3.2.1.2 PPPoE Encapsulation
Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) functions as a dial-up connection. PPPoE is an
IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) standard specifying how a host personal computer
interacts with a broadband modem (for example DSL, cable, wireless, etc.) to achieve access
to high-speed data networks.

3.2.1.3 PPTP Encapsulation
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a network protocol that enables transfers of data
from a remote client to a private server, creating a Virtual Private Network (VPN) using TCP/
IP-based networks.
PPTP supports on-demand, multi-protocol, and virtual private networking over public
networks, such as the Internet.

The following applies if the My ZyWALL field is configured as 0.0.0.0:
When the WAN interface operation mode is set to Active/Passive, the ZyWALL uses
the IP address (static or dynamic) of the WAN interface that is in use.
When the WAN interface operation mode is set to Active/Active, the ZyWALL uses
the IP address (static or dynamic) of the primary (highest priority) WAN interface to
set up the VPN tunnel as long as the corresponding WAN1 or WAN2 connection is
up. If the corresponding WAN1 or WAN2 connection goes down, the ZyWALL uses
the IP address of the other WAN interface.
If both WAN connections go down, the ZyWALL uses the dial backup IP address for
the VPN tunnel when using dial backup or the LAN IP address when using traffic
redirect. See the chapter on WAN for details on dial backup and traffic redirect.

When DES is used for data communications, both sender and receiver must
know the same secret key, which can be used to encrypt and decrypt the
message or to generate and verify a message authentication code. The DES
encryption algorithm uses a 56-bit key. Triple DES (3DES) is a variation on DES
that uses a 168-bit key. As a result, 3DES is more secure than DES. It also
requires more processing power, resulting in increased latency and decreased
throughput. This implementation of AES uses a 128-bit key. AES is faster than
3DES.
MD5 (Message Digest 5) and SHA1 (Secure Hash Algorithm) are hash
algorithms used to authenticate packet data. The SHA1 algorithm is generally
considered stronger than MD5, but is slower. Select MD5 for minimal security

LABELDESCRIPTION
Pre-Shared KeyType your pre-shared key in this field. A pre-shared key identifies a
communicating party during a phase 1 IKE negotiation. It is called "pre-shared"
because you have to share it with another party before you can communicate
with them over a secure connection.
Type from 8 to 31 case-sensitive ASCII characters or from 16 to 62
hexadecimal ("0-9", "A-F") characters. You must precede a hexadecimal key
with a "0x (zero x), which is not counted as part of the 16 to 62 character range
for the key. For example, in "0x0123456789ABCDEF", 0x denotes that the key
is hexadecimal and 0123456789ABCDEF is the key itself.
Both ends of the VPN tunnel must use the same pre-shared key. You will
receive a PYLD_MALFORMED (payload malformed) packet if the same preshared key is not used on both ends.

Tunnel mode encapsulates the entire IP packet to transmit it securely. A Tunnel
mode is required for gateway services to provide access to internal systems.
Tunnel mode is fundamentally an IP tunnel with authentication and encryption.
Transport mode is used to protect upper layer protocols and only affects the
data in the IP packet. In Transport mode, the IP packet contains the security
protocol (AH or ESP) located after the original IP header and options, but before
any upper layer protocols contained in the packet (such as TCP and UDP).
Both AH and ESP increase ZyWALL processing requirements and
communications latency (delay).

CHAPTER 4
Tutorial
This chapter describes how to apply security settings to VPN traffic and how to set up a 3G
WAN connection.
4.1 Security Settings for VPN Traffic
The ZyWALL can apply the firewall and content filtering to the traffic going to or from the
ZyWALL’s VPN tunnels. The ZyWALL applies the security settings to the traffic before
encrypting VPN traffic that it sends out or after decrypting received VPN traffic.
"The security settings apply to VPN traffic going to or from the ZyWALL’s VPN
tunnels. They do not apply to other VPN traffic for which the ZyWALL is not
one of the gateways (VPN pass-through traffic).
You can turn on content filtering for all of the ZyWALL’s VPN traffic (regardless of its
direction of travel). You can apply firewall security to VPN traffic based on its direction of
travel. The following examples show how you do this for the firewall.
4.2 Firewall Rule for VPN Example
The firewall provides even more fine-tuned control for VPN tunnels. You can configure
default and custom firewall rules for VPN packets.
Take the following example. You have a LAN FTP server with IP address 192.168.1.4 behind
device A. You could configure a VPN rule to allow the network behind device B to access
your LAN FTP server through a VPN tunnel. Now, if you don’t want other services like chat
or e-mail going to the FTP server, you can configure firewall rules that allow only FTP traffic
to come from VPN tunnels to the FTP server. Furthermore, you can configure the firewall rule
so that only the network behind device B can access the FTP server through a VPN tunnel (not
other remote networks that have VPN tunnels with the ZyWALL).

4.2.1 Configuring the VPN Rule
This section shows how to configure a VPN rule on device A to let the network behind B
access the FTP server. You would also have to configure a corresponding rule on device B.

icon.

2 Use this screen to set up the connection between the routers. Configure the fields that are
Figure 37 SECURITY > VPN > VPN Rules (IKE): With Gateway Policy Example
4 Use this screen to specify which computers behind the routers can use the VPN tunnel.
Configure the fields that are circled as follows and click Apply. You may notice that the
example does not specify the port numbers. This is due to the following reasons.
• While FTP uses a control session on port 20, the port for the data session is not fixed.
So this example uses the firewall’s FTP application layer gateway (ALG) to handle
this instead of specifying port numbers in this VPN network policy.
• The firewall provides better security because it operates at layer 4 and checks traffic
sessions. The VPN network policy only operates at layer 3 and just checks IP
addresses and port numbers.
Suppose you have several VPN tunnels but you only want to allow device B’s network to
access the FTP server. You also only want FTP traffic to go to the FTP server, so you want to
block all other traffic types (like chat, e-mail, web and so on). The following sections show
how to configure firewall rules to enforce these restrictions.
