Network Planning for Dual WAN Ports (Multiple WAN Port Models Only)

ProSecure Unified Threat Management (UTM) Appliance
Note: When the UTM’s WAN port rolls over, the VPN tunnel collapses and
need to be reestablished using the new WAN IP address. However,
you can configure automatic IPSec VPN rollover to ensure that an
IPSec VPN tunnel is reestablished.

• Dual WAN ports in load balancing mode. A dual WAN port load balancing gateway
configuration is the same as a single WAN port configuration when you specify the IP
address of the VPN tunnel endpoint. Each IP address is either fixed or dynamic based on
the ISP: You need to use FQDNs when the IP address is dynamic, and FQDNs are
optional when the IP address is static.

VPN Road Warrior (Client-to-Gateway)
The following situations exemplify the requirements for a remote PC client with no firewall to
establish a VPN tunnel with a gateway VPN firewall such as an UTM:
• Single-gateway WAN port
• Redundant dual-gateway WAN ports for increased reliability (before and after rollover)
• Dual-gateway WAN ports for load balancing
VPN Road Warrior: Single-Gateway WAN Port (Reference Case)
In a single WAN port gateway configuration, the remote PC client initiates the VPN tunnel
because the IP address of the remote PC client is not known in advance. The gateway WAN
port needs to function as the responder.
