ProSafe Gigabit Quad WAN SSL VPN Firewall SRX5308
• Automatic configuration of attached computers by DHCP. The VPN firewall
dynamically assigns network configuration information, including IP, gateway, and
Domain Name Server (DNS) addresses, to attached computers on the LAN using the
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This feature greatly simplifies
configuration of computers on your local network.
• DNS proxy. When DHCP is enabled and no DNS addresses are specified, the VPN
firewall provides its own address as a DNS server to the attached computers. The VPN
firewall obtains actual DNS addresses from the ISP during connection setup and
forwards DNS requests from the LAN.
• PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE). PPPoE is a protocol for connecting remote hosts to the
Internet over a DSL connection by simulating a dial-up connection. This feature
eliminates the need to run a login program.
• Quality of Service (QoS). The VPN firewall supports QoS, including traffic prioritization
and traffic classification with Type of Service (ToS) and Differentiated Services Code
Point (DSCP) marking.
Easy Installation and Management
You can install, configure, and operate the VPN firewall within minutes after connecting it to
the network. The following features simplify installation and management tasks:
• Browser-based management. Browser-based configuration allows you to easily
configure the VPN firewall from almost any type of operating system, such as Windows,
Macintosh, or Linux. Online help documentation is built into the browser-based web
management interface.
• Autodetection of ISP. The VPN firewall automatically senses the type of Internet
connection, asking you only for the information required for your type of ISP account.
• IPSec VPN Wizard. The VPN firewall includes the NETGEAR IPSec VPN Wizard so you
can easily configure IPSec VPN tunnels according to the recommendations of the Virtual
Private Network Consortium (VPNC) to ensure that the IPSec VPN tunnels are
interoperable with other VPNC-compliant VPN routers and clients.
• SNMP. The VPN firewall supports the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to
let you monitor and manage log resources from an SNMP-compliant system manager.
The SNMP system configuration lets you change the system variables for MIB2.
• Diagnostic functions. The VPN firewall incorporates built-in diagnostic functions such
as ping, traceroute, DNS lookup, and remote reboot.
• Remote management. The VPN firewall allows you to log in to the web management
interface from a remote location on the Internet. For security, you can limit remote
management access to a specified remote IP address or range of addresses.
• Visual monitoring. The VPN firewall’s front panel LEDs provide an easy way to monitor
its status and activity.
