WLAN Zones Settings
Use the "WLAN Zones" settings to configure your gateprotect Firewall as a wireless
access point.
Under "LAN > WLAN Zones" , you can edit an existing WLAN zone.
The "WLAN Zone" settings allow you to configure the following elements:
Field Description
"On" / "Off" A slider switch indicates whether the WLAN zone is active ( "On" ) or inactive
( "Off" ). By clicking the slider switch, you can toggle the state of the WLAN
zone.
On the "General" tab:
Field Description
"IP Address/Netmask" Enter the IP address and the netmask in CIDR notation (IP address followed by
a slash »/« and the number of bits set in the subnet mask, for example
192.168.50.1/24). You can only enter an IP address which has not already
been configured on a different Ethernet, WLAN or VLAN zone.
"Enable DNS Cache" Select the checkbox to activate DNS caching.
"Log Refused Connec-
tion Attempts"
Optional: Select this checkbox to create an entry in the System log (see "Sys-
tem Log" on page 41) whenever a connection attempt from the outside to this
WLAN zone fails. Filtering the System log by "Program" ulogd, the log entries
for refused connection attempts are displayed.
Configure a DHCP server to assign IP addresses to devices that are to be interconnec-
ted via WLAN. The "DHCP Server" tab provides the following options:
Field Description
"On" / "Off" A slider switch indicates whether the DHCP server is active ( "On" ) or inactive
( "Off" ). By clicking the slider switch, you can toggle the state of the DHCP
server. If the DHCP server is disabled, no other settings can be configured on
this tab.
"Domain Name" Optional: Enter a custom domain name that the DHCP server assigns to the cli-
ents.
"Lease Time" Enter the default and maximum lease time (in seconds) to determine the
amount of time that a computer will have a valid IP address.
"DNS Servers" Specify the primary and secondary DNS servers to be used by computers that
receive an IP address from the enabled DHCP server in the WLAN zone.
Note: To be able to specify the DNS servers, you need to clear the "Enable
DNS Cache" checkbox in the "General" tab.
"DHCP Relay" Enable DHCP relay by selecting the checkbox if gateprotect Firewall is to be
used as a proxy server, passing on the task of assigning IP addresses to clients
to a remote DHCP server.
"Mark" Select this checkbox to append an agent option field (adds IDs to requests).
"Port" Specify the port that is used to listen for and transmit queries. This is useful for
debugging purposes. The default port for DHVPv4/BOOTP is port 67.
