Internet and WAN Configuration Tasks
Note: For information about configuring the DSL interface of the UTM9S,
see Appendix A, xDSL Module for the UTM9S. The information in
this chapter does also apply to the WAN interfaces of the UTM9S.
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 67 or Manually Configure the Internet Connection on page 71.
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 75.
3. Configure secondary WAN addresses on the WAN ports (optional). Configure aliases
for each WAN port. See Configure Secondary WAN Addresses on page 85.
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 87.
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 90.
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 419.
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 71).
