USER MANUAL ZYWALL 2WG ZYXEL

ENGLISH Overview The ZyWALL 2WG is a firewall with VPN, bandwidth management, content filtering and many other features. You can use it as a transparent firewall and not reconfigure your network nor configure the ZyWALL's routing features. When the ZyWALL is in router mode, you can also insert a 3G wireless card to add a second WAN. The ZyWALL increases network security by adding the option to change port roles from LAN to DMZ for use with publicly accessible servers. This guide covers the initial connections and configuration needed to start using the ZyWALL in your network. See the User's Guide for more information on all features. You may need your Internet access information. DMZ This guide is divided into the following sections. 1 Hardware Connections 2 Accessing the Web Configurator 3 Bridge Mode 4 Internet Access Setup and Product Registration 5 DMZ 1 Hardware Connections You need the following. ZyWALL Computer

ENGLISH Do the following to make hardware connections for initial setup.

1 Use an Ethernet cable to connect the LAN/DMZ port to a computer. If you configure these ports as DMZ ports in the LAN or DMZ screen through the web configurator, you can also use Ethernet cables to connect public servers (web, e-mail, FTP, etc.) to the LAN/DMZ ports. 2 Use another Ethernet cable to connect the WAN port to an Ethernet jack with Internet access. Æ Use the blue console cable if you want to connect the CONSOLE port to your computer. Use the black dial backup cable if you want to connect the AUX port to an analog modem. 3 Insert a 3G wireless card into the card slot on the side panel to access the Internet wirelessly via a 3G network. At the time of writing, you can only use the Sierra AC850/860 3G wireless card in the ZyWALL. 4 Use the included power adaptor to connect the power socket (on the rear panel) to a power outlet. 5 Look at the front panel. The PWR LED turns on. The CARD, LAN/DMZ and WAN LEDs turn on and stay on if the corresponding connections are properly made.

ENGLISH ? If none of the LEDs are on, check your connections, and inspect your cables for damage. Make sure that you have the power adaptor connected to the ZyWALL and plugged in to an appropriate power source. Make sure the power source is turned on. If the LEDs are still off, contact your local vendor. 2 Accessing the Web Configurator Use this section to configure the WAN 1 interface for Internet access. 1 Launch your web browser.

? If the login screen does not display, check your browser’s security settings and make sure your computer's Ethernet card is installed and functioning properly. Your computer should be also set to get an IP address automatically from a DHCP server. See Set Up Your Computer's IP Address for more information.

. If you changed the password and have forgotten it, you need to return the ZyWALL to the defaults (password is 1234, LAN IP address is 192.168.1.1, etc.). Press the RESET button (on the rear panel) until the PWR LED starts to blink, then release it. 5 The HOME screen opens. The ZyWALL is in router mode by default. Continue to the next step if you want to use routing features such as NAT, DHCP and VPN. Go to section 3 if you prefer to use the ZyWALL as a transparent firewall. 6 Check the network status table. If the WAN 1 status is not Down and there is an IP address, go to section

Ifthe WAN 1 status is Down (or there is not an IP address), click the Wizard icon and use section 4 to configure WAN 1.

Make sure the Internet gateway device (such as a DSL modem) is working properly. Click WAN in the navigation panel to verify your settings.

ENGLISH 5 DMZ The DebMilitarized Zone (DMZ) allows public servers (web, e-mail, FTP, etc.) to be visible to the outside world and still have firewall protection from DoS (Denial of Service) attacks. You can assign TCP/IP configuration via DHCP to computers connected to the DMZ ports. Otherwise, configure the computers with static IP addresses (in the same subnet as the DMZ port's IP address) and DNS server addresses. Use the ZyWALL's DMZ IP address as the default gateway. Do the following to configure the DMZ if the ZyWALL is in routing mode. Note: You do not need to configure DMZ with bridge mode, skip to section 7. 1 Click NETWORK > DMZ in the navigation panel. 2 Specify an IP address and subnet mask for the DMZ interface. Dem suuconer rats Par rotes If you use private IP addresses on the DMZ, use ns ps er NAT to make the servers publicly accessible (see ul 2

To configure a port as a DMZ port, click the ve suc oner 1 Port Roles tab, select its radio button next to DMZ and click Apply. = nl 6 NAT NAT (Network Address Translation - NAT, RFC 1631) means the translation of an IP address in one network to a different IP address in another. You can use the NAT Address Mapping screens to have the ZyWALL translate multiple public IP addresses to multiple private IP addresses on your LAN (or DMZ). The following example allows access from the WAN1 to an HTTP (web) server on the DMZ. The server has a private IP address of 10.0.0.20.

ENGLISH 1 Click ADVANCED, NAT in the navigation panel and then Port Forwarding. 2 Select the WAN connection (WAN1) for which you want to configure port forwarding rules. 3 Select the Active check box. 4 Type a name for the rule. 5 Type the port number that the service uses. 6 Type the HTTP server's IP address. 7 Click Apply. 7 Firewall NAT overvien Address Mapping Por FRERE en am Fa Deux server Jo... crane [ilactive) nome [ rncoming Port(s) | port Translation _| server 1P adüress 1 Dre De fe F No. E [: En F Fr F F Pos so.

You can use the ZyWALL without configuring the firewall. The ZyWALL's firewall is pre-configured to protect your LAN from attacks from the Internet. By default, no traffic can enter your LAN unless a request was generated on the LAN first. The ZyWALL allows access to the DMZ from the WAN or LAN, but blocks traffic from the DMZ to the LAN. If you are using the ZyWALL in router mode, continue with the next section. For bridge mode, you are done With initial configuration. 8 VPN Rule Setup A VPN (Virtual Private Network) tunnel gives you a secure connection to another computer or network.

Select Aggressive Mode to allow more incoming connections from dynamic IP addresses to use separate passwords.

Authentication Algorithm: Select MDS5 for minimal security or SHA-1 for higher security. Key Group: Select DH2 for higher security. SA Life Time: Set how often the ZyWALL renegotiates the IKE SA (minimum 180 seconds). A short SA life time increases security, but renegotiation temporarily disconnects the VPN tunnel. Pre-Shared Key: Use 8 to 31 case-sensitive ASCII characters or 16 to 62 hexadecimal ("0-9", "A-F") characters. Precede a hexadecimal key with a "Ox" (zero x), which is not counted as part of the 16 to 62 character range for the key. Encapsulation Mode: Tunnel is compatible with NAT, Transport is not. IPSec Protocol: ESP is compatible with NAT, AH is not. Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS): None allows faster IPSec setup, but DH1 and DH2 are more secure.

8.1 Using the VPN Connection

Use VPN tunnels to securely send and retrieve files, and allow remote access to corporate networks, web servers and e-mail. Services work as if you were at the office instead of connected through the Internet.

ENGLISH For example, the “test” VPN rule allows secure access to an web server on a remote corporate LAN. Enter the server's VPN Rules (IKE) VPN Rules (Manual) DSK Global Setting IP address (10.0.0.23 in this example) as your browser's URL. The ZyWALL BE automatically builds the VPN tunnel when [ol:| me 2168207) 100007 | runmel ESPOES-sHa you attempt to use it. Click SECURITY > VPN in the navigation Fetresh, Disconrect panel and then the SA Monitor tab to display a list of connected VPN tunnels (the “test” VPN tunnel is up here). ? If you cannot establish a VPN connection, make sure the ZyWALL and the remote IPSec router use the same VPN settings. Click VPN in the navigation panel to configure advanced settings. Access a web site to check that you have a successful Internet connection. Set Up Your Computer’s IP Address This section shows you how to set up your computer to receive an IP address in Windows 2000, Windows NT and Windows XP. This is ensures that your computer can communicate with your ZyWALL. 1 In Windows XP, click Start, Control Panel.
