NETGEAR SRX5308 - ProSafe® Quad WAN Gigabit SSL VPN Firewall

ProSafe Gigabit Quad WAN SSL VPN Firewall SRX5308 Reference Manual
B-2 Network Planning for Multiple WAN Ports
v1.0, April 2010
• Protocol binding.
– For auto-rollover mode, protocol binding does not apply.
– For load balancing mode, decide which protocols should be bound to a specific
WAN port.
– You can also add your own service protocols to the list.
2. Set up your accounts.
a. Obtain active Internet services such a DSL broadband accounts and locate the Internet
Service Provider (ISP) configuration information.
• In this manual, the WAN side of the network is presumed to be provisioned as shown
in Figure B-1, with two ISPs connected to the VPN firewall through separate physical
facilities.
• Each WAN port must be configured separately, whether you are using a separate ISP
for each WAN port or you are using the same ISP to route the traffic of both WAN
ports.
• If your ISP charges by the volume of data traffic each month, consider enabling the
VPN firewall’s traffic meter to monitor or limit your traffic.
b. Contact a Dynamic DNS service and register FQDNs for one or both WAN ports.
3. Plan your network management approach.
• The VPN firewall is capable of being managed remotely, but this feature must be enabled
locally after each factory default reset.
NETGEAR strongly advises you to change the default management password to a strong
password before enabling remote management.
