Seamless Incorporation into your network
Using Transparent (Bridge Mode) Firewall
If user wants to insert a firewall into current network, IP setting of hosts and servers may need to change.
Following example illustrates an example of current deployment: servers and other hosts sit in the same IP
segment.
If a router mode firewall is inserted into existing network, user may need to reassign the IP of all servers and hosts and related setting of applications. However, it may be a huge task to admi nistrators.
All contents copyright (c) 2006 ZyXEL Communications Corporation.
18
ZyWALL 2WG Support Notes
Deploying a transparent mode firewall doesn’t require any changes of settings on the original network topology. It works as bridge/switch; therefore, all the hosts can communicate with each other as without firewall in between. At the same time, the transparent firewall can check the packets passing through it and block attacks and limit unauthorized access through access control right.
In the following section, we will explain how to configure ZyWALL as bridge firewall. Therefore, all hosts and servers can keep using the same IP as that of current network.
All contents copyright (c) 2006 ZyXEL Communications Corporation.
19
ZyWALL 2WG Support Notes
User can configure ZyWALL to act as a router mode firewall or bridge (transparent) firewall. The default is router mode firewall.
Step1. Before changing ZyWALL to bridge mode, if admin wants to make the ZyWALL’s LAN PC be able to get DHCP IP address assignment from the DHCP server or the gateway upper than the ZyWALL, there is one firewall rule needs to be activated.
Go to Firewall >> Rule Summary; choose ‘WAN to LAN’ from ‘Packet Direction’. You will see a rule to permit the service type, ‘BOOTP_CLIENT(UDP:68)’, to pass firewall. It’s INACTIVE by default. Admin can activate the rule by clicking the ‘N’ as following picture. Then the rule will be activated right away.
Step2. To change the device mode, go to MAINTENANCE >> Device Mode. Select ‘Bridge’ and

ZyWALL 2WG Support Notes
assign a management IP for ZyWALL. The Gateway IP Address is used as next-hop of default route. ZyWALL will restart after applying the change.
(Note: Here we suggest admin to dedicate an IP address to ZyWALL itself at the same subnet as original one (like 210.242.82.X/24 in this example). In this way, admin doesn’t need to change his PC’s IP address when he wants to access Internet and ZyWALL’s web GUI at the same time.)
21
All contents copyright (c) 2006 ZyXEL Communications Corporation.
ZyWALL 2WG Support Notes
Step3. After rebooting, login ZyWALL’s GUI by accessing ZyWALL’s management IP address. (Accessing ZyWALL by the PC with a static IP address configured in the same subnet or with an IP from DHCP server (refer to step1 for the pre-configured firewall rule).
Step4. In this example, since we want to apply a DMZ zone for servers. So for ZyWALL 2 Plus which the ports of LAN & DMZ can be configured, user can decide the roles of each port.
Go to Network >> LAN (or DMZ or WLAN) >> Port Roles. By default, 4 ports are assigned to LAN. In this example, we use port 1 & 2 assigned to LAN and Port 3 & 4 assigned to DMZ as following picture.
Step5. Furthermore, to configure firewall rule to control the access of your network, go to SECURITY >> FIREWALL as you do in router mode firewall. For example, user wants to block the access from a FTP server (210.242.82.2) in DMZ zone to LAN hosts (210.242.82.31~34) (Note that they all sits in the same IP segment 210.242.82.0/24). Edit the firewall rule via Firewall >> Rule Summary and with packet direction: DMZ to LAN.
And enter 210.242.82.2 as the source address and 210.242.82.31~34 as destination address. And then select the service and set the action for ‘Matched Packet’ to ‘BLOCK’.

ZyWALL
Internet
LAN
WAN
Step1. First of all, Select Home menu and click Internet Access Wizard to configure your WAN connection. Click “Internet Access” under Home >> Wizards for Internet Access Quick Setup
A pop-up window as below will indicate you to enter ISP Parameters for Internet Access .
There are three kinds of encapsulation which are supported by ZyWALL: Ethernet, PPPoE & PPTP. Select the correct encapsulation type from the drop-down menu. The wizards will requests related information needed. These fields vary depending on what you select in the Encapsulation field. Fill them in with the information exactly as given by the ISP or network administrator.

Following picture is an example while PPPoE is selected.
Once the required information is correctly configured, click on the “Finish” button to apply the setting and then you have finished configuring Internet Access on WAN link.
DHCP server/client/relay
ZyWALL supports
(1) DHCP client on the WAN port
User can choose either a static IP or a dynamic IP address for WAN port. When choosing dynamic IP,
ZyWALL will get a DHCP IP address from ISP or upper layer DHCP server.
(2) DHCP server/relay/none on the LAN ports
ZyWALL supports DHCP server for LAN ports, but also
1. When choosing DHCP setting as ‘None’, the LAN will NOT assign IP address to the associated hosts. Client PCs need to configure IP address manually.

25
ZyWALL 2WG Support Notes
2. When choosing DHCP setting as a ‘Server’, the LAN will automatically assign IP, subnet, gateway and DNS to the associated clients.
3. When choosing DHCP setting as a ‘Relay’, the LAN will forward the DHCP request to another DHCP server.

Application -- Non NAT-Friendly Support
What is Multi-NAT?
NAT (Network Address Translation-NAT RFC 1631) is the translation of an Internet Protocol address used
within one network to a different IP address known within another network. One network is designated the
inside
network and the other is the
outside
. Typically, a company maps its local inside network addresses to one
or more global outside IP addresses and "unmaps" the global IP addresses on incoming packets back into local
IP addresses. The IP addresses for the NAT can be either fixed or dynamically assigned by the ISP. In addition,
you can designate servers, e.g., a web server and a telnet server, on your local network and make them
accessible to the outside world. If you do not define any servers, NAT offers the additional benefit of firewall
protection. In such case, all incoming connections to your network will be filtered out by the ZyWALL, thus
preventing intruders from probing your network.
The SUA feature that the ZyWALL supports previously operates by mapping the private IP addresses to a
global IP address. It is only one subset of the NAT. The ZyWALL supports the most of the features of the NAT
based on RFC 1631, and we call this feature as 'Multi-NAT'. For more information on IP address translation,
please refer to RFC 1631,
The IP Network Address Translator (NAT)
.

How NAT works
If we define the local IP addresses as the Internal Local Addresses (ILA) and the global IP addresses as the
Inside Global Address (IGA), see the following figure. The term 'inside' refers to the set of networks that are
subject to translation. NAT operates by mapping the ILA to the IGA required for communication with hosts on
other networks. It replaces the original IP source address (and TCP or UDP source port numbers) and then
forwards each packet to the Internet ISP, thus making them appear as if they had come from the NAT system
itself (e.g., the ZyWALL router). The ZyWALL keeps track of the original addresses and port numbers so
incoming reply packets can have their original values restored.
NAT Mapping Types
NAT supports five types of IP/port mapping. They are:
1. One to One
In One-to-One mode, the ZyWALL maps one ILA to one IGA.
2. Many to One
In Many-to-One mode, the ZyWALL maps multiple ILA to one IGA. This is equivalent to SUA (i.e., PAT, port address translation), ZyXEL's Single User Account feature that previous ZyNOS routers supported (the SUA only option in today's routers).
3. Many to Many Overload
In Many-to-Many Overload mode, the ZyWALL maps the multiple ILA to shared IGA.
4. Many One to One
In Many One to One, the ZyWALL maps each ILA to unique IGA.

5. Server
In Server mode, the ZyWALL maps multiple inside servers to one global IP address. This allows us to specify multiple servers of different types behind the NAT for outside access. Note, if you want to map each server to one unique IGA please use the One-to-One mode.
The following table summarizes these types.
NA T Type IP Mapping
One-to-One ILA1<--->IGA1
Many-to-One (SUA/PAT)
Many-to-Many Overload
Many One-to-One
Server
ILA1<--->IGA1 ILA2<--->IGA1 ...
ILA1<--->IGA1 ILA2<--->IGA2 ILA3<--->IGA1 ILA4<--->IGA2 ...
ILA1<--->IGA1 ILA2<--->IGA2 ILA3<--->IGA3 ILA4<--->IGA4 ...
Server 1 IP<--->IGA1 Server 2 IP<--->IGA1
SUA Versus Multi-NAT
SUA (Single User Account), if you get only one public IP address from your ISP, then you should use SUA.
With SUA, PCs on ZyWALL's LAN side can access Internet without further configuration. If you have internal
servers to be accessed by remote users on Internet, you need to go to ADVANCED -> SUA/NAT -> SUA
Server to setup which service, or port numbers, you would like to forward to which Internal server.
Multi-NAT, if you get multiple public IP addresses from your ISP, then you may use Multi-NAT. With
Multi-NAT, you can choose different types of NAT mapping methods to utilize the public IP addresses. You
should define each NAT mapping rules clearly in ADVANCED -> SUA/NAT -> Address Mapping, so that
internal PCs can access Internet and internal servers can be accessed by remote uses on Internet.
