SG565 only.
The CyberGuard SG appliance’s wireless interface may be configured as a wireless
access point, accepting connections from 802.11b (11mbit/s) or 802.11g (54mbit/s)
capable wireless clients.
Typically, the CyberGuard SG appliance’s wireless interface is configured in one of two
ways; with strong wireless security (WPA) to bridge wireless clients directly onto your
LAN, or with weak wireless security as a Guest connection. The latter requires wireless
clients to establish a VPN tunnel on top of the wireless connection to access the LAN,
DMZ and Internet, to compensate for the security vulnerabilities WEP poses.
Configuring a wireless connection
Select Direct Connection from the Change Type pull down box of the wireless network
interface. Enter appropriate IP address information for the wireless network, and from
the Firewall Class pull down menu, select whether your wireless network is a Guest,
DMZ, LAN or Internet connection.
