Field Description
"Destinations" Add up to three desired URLs or IP addresses and click "Add" after each entry.
You can edit or delete each single entry in the list by clicking the appropriate
button next to an entry.
Note: If you edit the URL or the IP address of a destination, a check mark
appears on the right of the input field. You have to click the check mark before
being able to save the settings of the connection monitoring profile.
"Minimum Destination
Success Count"
From the drop-down list, select how many destinations are to be accessed suc-
cessfully to set the profile to OK.
The interface enters CRITICAL state and is switched over by the failover only when
the number of tests specified in "Tolerated Error Rate" has failed and the correspond-
ing test intervals and response times have elapsed. For this reason, make sure that the
selected values are suitable and not too great.
The buttons at the bottom right of the editor panel depend on whether you add a new
connection monitoring profile or edit an existing profile. For a newly configured connec-
tion monitoring profile, click "Create" to add the profile to the list of available connection
monitoring profiles or "Cancel" to discard your changes. To edit an existing profile, click
"Save" to store the reconfigured profile or "Reset" to discard your changes. You can
click "Close" to shut the editor panel as long as no changes have been made on it.
Click "
Activate" in the toolbar at the top of the desktop to apply your configuration
changes.
3.4.4.2 DynDNS Accounts
To be able to connect from the external network to your gateprotect Firewall, for exam-
ple via a VPN connection, the IP address of your device has to be recognized on the
Internet.
Using dynamic DNS (»DynDNS«), your gateprotect Firewall gets a fixed host name (for
example yourcompany.dyndns.org) on the Internet, even if it has no fixed IP
address for the dial-in procedure by ISDN or DSL, for example. This is accomplished
by sending the current IP address to a DynDNS provider that maps it to a domain
name so that the firewall is accessible using that domain name. If the IP address
changes due to a DSL reset, it is re-sent to the DynDNS provider. This ensures that
the dynamic DNS always points to the current IP address.
To set up DynDNS on your gateprotect Firewall, you require a configured DynDNS
account with a DynDNS provider. Further information on dynamic DNS and the regis-
tration for the dynamic DNS process can be found at, for example, www.dyndns.org.
For more detailed information on DynDNS accounts, see the following sections.
