NETGEAR ProSAFE VPN Firewall FVS318G v2
DNS Proxy
When the DNS proxy option is enabled for a VLAN, the VPN firewall acts as a proxy for all
DNS requests and communicates with the ISP’s DNS servers (as configured on the
Broadband ISP Settings screens). All DHCP clients receive the primary and secondary DNS
IP addresses along with the IP address where the DNS proxy is located (that is, the VPN
firewall’s LAN IP address). When the DNS proxy option is disabled for a VLAN, all DHCP
clients receive the DNS IP addresses of the ISP but without the DNS proxy IP address.
LDAP Server
A Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server allows a user to query and modify
directory services that run over TCP/IP. For example, clients can query email addresses,
contact information, and other service information using an LDAP server. For each VLAN,
you can specify an LDAP server and a search base that defines the location in the directory
(that is, the directory tree) from which the LDAP search begins.
Configure a VLAN Profile
For each VLAN on the VPN firewall, you can configure its profile, port membership, LAN
TCP/IP settings, DHCP options, DNS server, and inter-VLAN routing capability.
After you complete the LAN setup, all outbound traffic is allowed
and a
ll inbound traffic is
discarded except responses to requests from the LAN side.
To add a VLAN profile:
1. Log in to the unit:
a. In the address field of any of the qualified web browsers, enter

n button.
The Router Status screen displays. After five minutes of inactivity
, which is the default
login time-out, you are automatically logged out.
