NETGEAR UTM5 User Manual

Manually Configuring Internet and WAN Settings
66
ProSecure Unified Threat Management (UTM) Appliance
Generally, five steps are required to complete the WAN Internet connection of your UTM.
 Complete these steps:
1. Configure the Internet connections to your ISPs. During this phase, you connect to
your ISPs. See Automatically Detecting and Connecting the Internet Connections on
page 66 or Manually Configure the Internet Connection on page 70.
2. Configure the WAN mode (required for multiple WAN port models). For all models,
select either NAT or classical routing. For the multiple WAN port models, select dedicated
(single WAN) mode, auto-rollover mode, or load balancing mode. For load balancing, you
can also select any necessary protocol bindings. See Configure the WAN Mode on page 74.
3. Configure secondary WAN addresses on the WAN ports (optional). Configure aliases
for each WAN port. See Configure Secondary WAN Addresses on page 84.
4. Configure Dynamic DNS on the WAN ports (optional). Configure your fully qualified
domain names during this phase (if required). See Configure Dynamic DNS on page 85.
5. Configure the WAN options (optional). Optionally, you can enable each WAN port to
respond to a ping, and you can change the factory default MTU size and port speed.
However, these are advanced features, and changing them is not usually required. See
Configure Advanced WAN Options on page 89.
Each of these tasks is detailed separately in this chapter.
Note: For information about how to configure the WAN meters, see Enable
the WAN Traffic Meter on page 434.
Automatically Detecting and Connecting the Internet
Connections
To set up your UTM for secure Internet connections, the web management interface provides
the option to automatically detect the network connections and configure the WAN port or
ports. You can also manually configure the Internet connections and ports (see Manually
Configure the Internet Connection on page 70).
 To automatically configure the WAN ports for connection to the Internet:
1. Select Network Config > WAN Settings. The WAN screen displays. (The following
figure shows the UTM50.)
