Introducing the ZyWALL
This chapter gives an overview of the ZyWALL. It explains the front panel ports, LEDs, introduces the management methods, and lists different ways to start or stop the ZyWALL.
1.1 Overview and Key Default Settings
The ZyWALL is a comprehensive security device designed for medium to large organizations. Its flexible configuration helps network administrators set up the network and enforce security policies efficiently. In addition, the ZyWALL provides excellent throughput, making it an ideal solution for reliable, secure service.
The ZyWALL's security features include VPN, firewall, anti-virus, content filtering, IDP (Intrusion Detection and Prevention), ADP (Anomaly Detection and Protection), and certificates. It also provides bandwidth management, Instant Messaging (IM) and Peer to Peer (P2P) control, NAT, port forwarding, policy routing, DHCP server and many other powerful features. Flexible configuration helps you set up the network and enforce security policies efficiently. See Chapter 2 on page 39 for a more detailed overview of the ZyWALL's features.
The front panel physical Gigabit Ethernet ports (labeled P1, P2, P3, and so on) are mapped to Gigabit Ethernet (ge) interfaces. By default P1 is mapped to ge1, P2 is mapped to ge2 and so on. By default ge1 is the LAN interface, ge2 and ge3 are combined as the WAN_TRUNC. The Ethernet management interface can only be accessed from the LAN side by default. The default LAN IP address is 192.168.1.1; the default administrator login user name and password are "admin" and "1234" respectively. P7 and P8 are GbE dual personality interfaces. A dual personality interface includes one Gigabit port and one slot for a mini-GBIC transceiver (SFP module) with one port active at a time.

ZyXEL ZyWALL USG 2000 UNIFIED SECURITY GATEWAY SECURITY EXTENSION MODULE HDD SLOT CARD SLOT P211 AUX P221 AUX CONSOLE RESET BUZER RESET P1 P2 P3 P4 P5 P6 S7 S8 S9 10/100/1000 USB 1 21.2.1 Dual Personality Interfaces
The ZyWALL's dual personality interfaces are 1000Base-T/mini-GBIC combo ports. For each interface you can connect either to the 1000Base-T port or the mini-GBIC port. The mini-GBIC ports have priority over the 1000Base-T ports. This means that if a mini-GBIC port and the corresponding 1000Base-T port are connected at the same time, the 1000Base-T port will be disabled.
1.2.1.1 1000Base-T Ports
The 1000Base-T auto-negotiating, auto-crossover Ethernet ports support 100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet so the speed can be 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps. The duplex mode can be both half or full duplex at 100 Mbps and full duplex only at 1000 Mbps.
An auto-negotiating port can detect and adjust to the optimum Ethernet speed (100/1000 Mbps) and duplex mode (full duplex or half duplex) of the connected device.
An auto-crossover (auto-MDI/MDI-X) port automatically works with a straight-through or crossover Ethernet cable.
Default Ethernet Settings
The factory default negotiation settings for the Ethernet ports on the ZyWALL are:
- Speed: Auto
- Duplex: Auto
- Flow control: On (you cannot configure the flow control setting, but the ZyWALL can negotiate with the peer and turn it off if needed)
1.2.1.2 Mini-GBIC Slots
These are slots for Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers. A transceiver is a single unit that houses a transmitter and a receiver. Use a transceiver to
connect a fiber-optic cable to the ZyWALL. The ZyWALL does not come with transceivers. You must use transceivers that comply with the Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) Transceiver MultiSource Agreement (MSA). See the SFF committee's INF-8074i specification Rev 1.0 for details.
You can change transceivers while the ZyWALL is operating. You can use different transceivers to connect to devices with different types of fiber-optic connectors.
- Type: SFP connection interface
- Connection speed: 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps)
To avoid possible eye injury, do not look into an operating fiber-optic module's connectors or fiber-optic cable.
Transceiver and Fiber-optic Cable Installation
Use the following steps to install a mini GBIC transceiver (SFP module).
1 Insert the transceiver into the slot with the exposed section of PCB board facing down.

1.4 Starting and Stopping the ZyWALL
Here are some of the ways to start and stop the ZyWALL.
Table 3 Starting and Stopping the ZyWALL
| METHOD | DESCRIPTION |
| Connecting the power | A cold start occurs when you turn on the power to the ZyWALL. The ZyWALL powers up, checks the hardware, and starts the system processes. |
| Rebooting the ZyWALL | A warm start (without powering down and powering up again) occurs when you use the Reboot button in the Reboot screen or when you use the reboot command. The ZyWALL writes all cached data to the local storage, stops the system processes, and then does a warm start. |
| Using the RESET button | If you press the RESET button, the ZyWALL sets the configuration to its default values and then reboots. |
| Using the shutdown command | The shutdown command writes all cached data to the local storage and stops the system processes. It does not turn off the power.You have to turn the power off and on manually to start the ZyWALL again. You should use this command before you turn off the ZyWALL. |
| Disconnecting the power | Power off occurs when you turn off the power to the ZyWALL. The ZyWALL simply turns off. It does not stop the system processes or write cached data to local storage. |
Note: It is recommended you use the shutdown command before turning off the ZyWALL.
When you apply configuration files or running shell scripts, the ZyWALL does not stop or start the system processes. However, you might lose access to network
resources temporarily while the ZyWALL is applying configuration files or running shell scripts.

- Multiple WAN ports and configure load balancing between these ports.
- An auxiliary (backup) Internet connection.
- A backup ZyWALL in the event the master ZyWALL fails (device HA).
Virtual Private Networks (VPN)
Use IPSec, SSL, or L2TP VPN to provide secure communication between two sites over the Internet or any insecure network that uses TCP/IP for communication. The ZyWALL also offers hub-and-spoke IPSec VPN.
Flexible Security Zones
Many security settings are made by zone, not by interface, port, or network. As a result, it is much simpler to set up and to change security settings in the ZyWALL. You can create or remove zones, and you can assign each network, VLAN, or interface to any zone.
Firewall
The ZyWALL's firewall is a stateful inspection firewall. The ZyWALL restricts access by screening data packets against defined access rules. It can also inspect sessions. For example, traffic from one zone is not allowed unless it is initiated by a computer in another zone first.
Intrusion Detection and Prevention (IDP)
IDP (Intrusion Detection and Protection) can detect malicious or suspicious packets and respond instantaneously. It detects pattern-based attacks in order to protect against network-based intrusions. See Section 30.6.1 on page 501 for a list of attacks that the ZyWALL can protect against. You can also create your own custom IDP rules.
Anomaly Detection and Prevention (ADP)
ADP (Anomaly Detection and Prevention) can detect malicious or suspicious packets and respond instantaneously. It can detect:
- Anomalies based on violations of protocol standards (RFCs – Requests for Comments)
- Abnormal flows such as port scans.
The ZyWALL's ADP protects against network-based intrusions. See Section 31.3.4 on page 529 and Section 31.3.5 on page 532 for more on the kinds of attacks that the ZyWALL can protect against. You can also create your own custom ADP rules.
Bandwidth Management
Bandwidth management allows you to allocate network resources according to defined policies. This policy-based bandwidth allocation helps your network to better handle applications such as Internet access, e-mail, Voice-over-IP (VoIP), video conferencing and other business-critical applications.
Content Filter
Content filtering allows schools and businesses to create and enforce Internet access policies tailored to the needs of the organization.
You can also subscribe to category-based content filtering that allows your ZyWALL to check web sites against an external database of dynamically-updated ratings of millions of web sites. You then simply select categories to block or monitor, such as pornography or racial intolerance, from a pre-defined list.
Anti-Virus Scanner
With the anti-virus packet scanner, your ZyWALL scans files transmitting through the enabled interfaces into the network. The ZyWALL helps stop threats at the network edge before they reach the local host computers.
Anti-Spam
The anti-spam feature can mark or discard spam. Use the white list to identify legitimate e-mail. Use the black list to identify spam e-mail. The ZyWALL can also check e-mail against a DNS black list (DNSBL) of IP addresses of servers that are suspected of being used by spammers.
Application Patrol
Application patrol (App. Patrol) manages instant messenger (IM), peer-to-peer (P2P) applications like MSN and BitTorrent. You can even control the use of a particular application's individual features (like text messaging, voice, video conferencing, and file transfers). Application patrol has powerful bandwidth management including traffic prioritization to enhance the performance of delay-sensitive applications like voice and video. You can also use an option that gives SIP priority over all other traffic. This maximizes SIP traffic throughput for improved VoIP call sound quality.
2.2 Packet Flow
This section lists the order in which the ZyWALL applies its features and checks. The following is the key used to describe the packet flow in the ZyWALL.

2.3 Applications
These are some example applications for your ZyWALL. See also Chapter 6 on page 119 for configuration tutorial examples.
2.3.1 VPN Connectivity
Set up VPN tunnels with other companies, branch offices, telecommuters, and business travelers to provide secure access to your network. You can also set up additional connections to the Internet to provide better service.

2.3.2 SSL VPN Network Access
You can configure the ZyWALL to provide SSL VPN network access to remote users. There are two SSL VPN network access modes: reverse proxy and full tunnel.
2.3.2.1 Reverse Proxy Mode
In reverse proxy mode, the ZyWALL is a proxy that acts on behalf of the local network servers (such as your web and mail servers). As the final destination, the ZyWALL appears to be the server to remote users. This provides an added layer of protection for your internal servers.
With reverse proxy mode, remote users can easily access any web-based applications on the local network by clicking on links or entering the provided URL. You do not have to install additional client software on the remote user computers for access.

2.3.2.2 Full Tunnel Mode
In full tunnel mode, a virtual connection is created for remote users with private IP addresses in the same subnet as the local network. This allows them to access network resources in the same way as if they were part of the internal network.

Table 19 VPN Advanced Wizard: Step 3
| LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
| Phase 1 Setting | |
| Secure Gateway | If Any displays in this field, it is not configurable for the chosen scenario. If this field is configurable, enter the WAN IP address or domain name of the remote IPSec router (secure gateway) in the field below to identify the remote IPSec router by its IP address or a domain name. Set this field to 0.0.0.0 if the remote IPSec router has a dynamic WAN IP address. |
| My Address (interface) | Select an interface from the drop-down list box to use on your ZyWALL. |
| Negotiation Mode | Select Main for identity protection. Select Aggressive to allow more incoming connections from dynamic IP addresses to use separate passwords.Note: Multiple SAs (security associations) connecting through a secure gateway must have the same negotiation mode. |
| Encryption Algorithm | When DES is used for data communications, both sender and receiver must know the same secret key, which can be used to encrypt and decrypt the message or to generate and verify a message authentication code. The DES encryption algorithm uses a 56-bit key. Triple DES (3DES) is a variation on DES that uses a 168-bit key. As a result, 3DES is more secure than DES. It also requires more processing power, resulting in increased latency and decreased throughput. AES128 uses a 128-bit key and is faster than 3DES. AES192 uses a 192-bit key and AES256 uses a 256-bit key. Select Null to have no encryption. |
| Authentication Algorithm | MD5 (Message Digest 5) and SHA1 (Secure Hash Algorithm) are hash algorithms used to authenticate packet data. The SHA1 algorithm is generally considered stronger than MD5, but is slower. Select MD5 for minimal security and SHA1 for maximum security. |
| Key Group | You must choose a key group for phase 1 IKE setup. DH1 (default) refers to Diffie-Hellman Group 1 a 768 bit random number. DH2 refers to Diffie-Hellman Group 2 a 1024 bit (1Kb) random number. DH5 refers to Diffie-Hellman Group 5 a 1536 bit random number. |
| SA Life Time (Seconds) | Define the length of time before an IKE SA automatically renegotiates in this field. The minimum value is 60 seconds.A short SA Life Time increases security by forcing the two VPN gateways to update the encryption and authentication keys. However, every time the VPN tunnel renegotiates, all users accessing remote resources are temporarily disconnected. |
| NAT Traversal | Select this check box to enable NAT traversal. NAT traversal allows you to set up a VPN connection when there are NAT routers between the two IPSec routers.Note: The remote IPSec router must also have NAT traversal enabled. See Chapter 21 on page 339 for more information. |
| Dead Peer Detection (DPD) | Select this check box if you want the ZyWALL to make sure the remote IPSec router is there before it transmits data through the IKE SA. If there has been no traffic for at least 15 seconds, the ZyWALL sends a message to the remote IPSec server. If the remote IPSec server responds, the ZyWALL transmits the data. If the remote IPSec server does not respond, the ZyWALL shuts down the IKE SA. |
| Authentication Method | |
| Pre-Shared Key | Type your pre-shared key in this field. A pre-shared key identifies a communicating party during a phase 1 IKE negotiation. It is called "pre-shared" because you have to share it with another party before you can communicate with them over a secure connection.Type from 8 to 31 case-sensitive ASCII characters or from 16 to 62 hexadecimal ("0-9", "A-F") characters. Precede hexadecimal characters with "0x".Both ends of the VPN tunnel must use the same pre-shared key. You will receive a PYLD_MALFORMED (payload malformed) packet if the same pre-shared key is not used on both ends. |
| Certificate | Use the drop-down list box to select the certificate to use for this VPN tunnel. You must have certificates already configured in the My Certificates screen. Click Certificate under the Object menu to go to the My Certificates screen where you can view the ZyWALL's list of certificates. |
| Back | Click Back to return to the previous screen. |
| Next | Click Next to continue. |
4.8.5 VPN Advanced Wizard - Advanced Settings
Phases: IKE (Internet Key Exchange) negotiation has two phases. A phase 1 exchange establishes an IKE SA (Security Association) and phase 2 (Key Exchange) uses the SA to negotiate SAs for IPSec.
Note: Multiple SAs connecting through a secure gateway must have the same negotiation mode.
Negotiation Mode: Select Main for identity protection. Select Aggressive to allow more incoming connections from dynamic IP addresses to use separate passwords.
Proposal: 3DES and AES use encryption. The longer the AES key, the higher the security (this may affect throughput). Null uses no encryption.
Authentication Algorithm: MD5 gives minimal security. SHA-1 gives higher security.
SA Life Time: Set how often the ZyWALL renegotiates the IKE SA. A short SA Life Time increases security, but renegotiation temporarily disconnects the VPN tunnel.
NAT Traversal: Select this if the VPN tunnel must pass through NAT (there is a NAT router between the IPSec devices).
Use Dead Peer Detection (DPD) to have the ZyWALL make sure the remote IPSec router is there before transmitting data through the IKE SA. If the remote IPSec server does not respond, the ZyWALL shuts down the IKE SA.
Phase 2 in an IKE uses the SA that was established in phase 1 to negotiate SAs for IPSec.

| Active Protocol | Select the security protocols used for an SA.Both AH and ESP increase ZyWALL processing requirements and communications latency (delay). |
| Encapsulation | Tunnel is compatible with NAT, Transport is not.Tunnel mode encapsulates the entire IP packet to transmit it securely. Tunnel mode is required for gateway services to provide access to internal systems. Tunnel mode is fundamentally an IP tunnel with authentication and encryption. Transport mode is used to protect upper layer protocols and only affects the data in the IP packet. In Transport mode, the IP packet contains the security protocol (AH or ESP) located after the original IP header and options, but before any upper layer protocols contained in the packet (such as TCP and UDP). |
| Encryption Algorithm | When DES is used for data communications, both sender and receiver must know the same secret key, which can be used to encrypt and decrypt the message or to generate and verify a message authentication code.

Configuration Basics
This section provides information to help you configure the ZyWALL effectively. Some of it is helpful when you are just getting started. Some of it is provided for your reference when you configure various features in the ZyWALL.
- Section 5.1 on page 101 introduces the ZyWALL's object-based configuration.
• Section 5.2 on page 102 introduces zones, interfaces, and port groups. - Section 5.3 on page 104 introduces some differences in terminology and organization between the ZyWALL and other routers, particularly ZyNOS routers.
- Section 5.4 on page 105 identifies the features you should configure before and after you configure the main screens for each feature. For example, if you want to configure a trunk for load-balancing, you should configure the member interfaces before you configure the trunk. After you configure the trunk, you should configure a policy route for it as well. (You might also have to configure criteria for the policy route.)
- Section 5.5 on page 115 identifies the objects that store information used by other features.
- Section 5.6 on page 116 introduces some of the tools available for system management.
5.1 Object-based Configuration
The ZyWALL stores information or settings as objects. You use these objects to configure many of the ZyWALL's features and settings. Once you configure an object, you can reuse it in configuring other features.
When you change an object's settings, the ZyWALL automatically updates all the settings or rules that use the object. For example, if you create a schedule object, you can have firewall, application patrol, content filter, and other settings use it. If you modify the schedule, all the firewall, application patrol, content filter, and other settings that use the schedule automatically apply the updated schedule.
You can create address objects based on an interface's IP address, subnet, or gateway. The ZyWALL automatically updates every rule or setting that uses these objects whenever the interface's IP address settings change. For example, if you
change ge1's IP address, the ZyWALL automatically updates the rules or settings that use the ge1 interface-based, LAN subnet address object.
You can use the Objects screens to create objects before you configure features that use them. If you are in a screen that uses objects, you can also usually select Create Object to open a screen where you can configure a new object.
For a list of common objects, see Section 5.5 on page 115.
5.2 Zones, Interfaces, and Physical Ports
Zones (groups of interfaces and VPN tunnels) simplify security settings. Here is an overview of zones, interfaces, and physical ports in the ZyWALL.

Table 22 Zones, Interfaces, and Physical Ethernet Ports
| Zones(WAN, LAN, DMZ) | A zone is a group of interfaces and VPN tunnels. Use zones to apply security settings such as firewall, IDP, remote management, anti-virus, and application patrol. |
| Interfaces(Ethernet, VLAN,...) | Interfaces are logical entities that (layer-3) packets pass through. Use interfaces in configuring VPN, zones, trunks, device HA, DDNS, policy routes, static routes, HTTP redirect, and virtual server.Port groups combine physical ports into interfaces. |
| Physical Ethernet Ports(P1~P8) | The physical port is where you connect a cable. In configuration, you use physical ports when configuring port groups. You use interfaces and zones in configuring other features. |
5.2.1 Interface Types
There are many types of interfaces in the ZyWALL. In addition to being used in various features, interfaces also describe the network that is directly connected to the ZyWALL.
- Ethernet interfaces are the foundation for defining other interfaces and network policies. You also configure RIP and OSPF in these interfaces.
- Port groups create a hardware connection between physical ports at the layer-2 (data link, MAC address) level.
- PPPoE/PPTP interfaces support Point-to-Point Protocols (PPP). ISP accounts are required for PPPoE/PPTP interfaces.
- VLAN interfaces recognize tagged frames. The ZyWALL automatically adds or removes the tags as needed. Each VLAN can only be associated with one Ethernet interface.
- Bridge interfaces create a software connection between Ethernet or VLAN interfaces at the layer-2 (data link, MAC address) level. Then, you can configure the IP address and subnet mask of the bridge. It is also possible to configure zone-level security between the member interfaces in the bridge.
- Virtual interfaces increase the amount of routing information in the ZyWALL. There are three types: virtual Ethernet interfaces (also known as IP alias), virtual VLAN interfaces, and virtual bridge interfaces.
- The auxiliary interface, along with an external modem, provides an interface the ZyWALL can use to dial out. This interface can be used as a backup WAN interface, for example. The auxiliary interface controls the AUX port.
5.2.2 Default Interface and Zone Configuration
This section explains the ZyWALL's factory default zone and interface configuration. The following figure uses letters to denote public IP addresses or part of a private IP address.

- The LAN zone contains the ge1 interface. The LAN zone is a protected zone. The ge1 interface uses 192.168.1.1.
- The WAN zone contains the ge2 and ge3 interfaces (physical ports P2 and P3). They use public IP addresses to connect to the Internet.
- The DMZ zone contains the ge4, ge5, and ge6 interfaces (physical ports P4, P5, and P6). The DMZ zone has servers that are available to the public. These interface uses private IP addresses 192.168.2.1, 192.168.3.1, and 192.168.4.1.
- Interfaces ge7 and ge8 interfaces (physical ports P7 and P8) are not part of a zone by default. Add them to zones to apply security policies.

5.4 Feature Configuration Overview
This section provides information about configuring the main features in the ZyWALL. The features are listed in the same sequence as the menu item(s) in the web configurator. Each feature is organized as shown below.
5.4.1 Feature
This provides a brief description. See the appropriate chapter(s) in this User's Guide for more information about any feature.
| MENU ITEM(S) | This shows you the sequence of menu items and tabs you should click to find the main screen(s) for this feature. See the web help or the related User's Guide chapter for information about each screen. |
| PREREQUISITES | These are other features you should configure before you configure the main screen(s) for this feature.If you did not configure one of the prerequisites first, you can often select an option to create a new object. After you create the object you return to the main screen to finish configuring the feature.You may not have to configure everything in the list of prerequisites. For example, you do not have to create a schedule for a policy route unless time is one of the criterion. |
| WHERE USED | There are two uses for this.These are other features you should usually configure or check right after you configure the main screen(s) for this feature. For example, you should usually create a policy route for a VPN tunnel.You have to delete the references to this feature before you can delete any settings. For example, you have to delete (or modify) all the policy routes that refer to a VPN tunnel before you can delete the VPN tunnel. |
Example: This provides a simple example to show you how to configure this feature. The example is usually based on the network topology in Figure 50 on page 103.
Note: PREQUISITES or WHERE USED does not appear if there are no prerequisites or references in other features to this one. For example, no other features reference DDNS entries, so there is no WHERE USED entry.
5.4.2 Interface
See Section 5.2 on page 102 for background information.
Note: When you create an interface, there is no security applied on it until you assign it to a zone.
Most of the features that use interfaces support Ethernet, PPPoE/PPTP, VLAN, and bridge interfaces.
| MENU ITEM(S) | Network > Interface (except Network > Interface > Trunk) |
| PREREQUISITES | Port groups (configured in the Interface > Port Grouping screen) |
| WHERE USED | Zones, trunks, IPSec VPN, device HA, DDNS, policy routes, static routes, HTTP redirect, virtual server, application patrol |
Example: Interface ge1 is in the LAN zone and uses a private IP address. To configure ge1's settings, click Network > Interface > Ethernet and then ge1's Edit icon.
5.4.3 Trunks
Use trunks to set up load balancing using two or more interfaces.
| MENU ITEM(S) | Network > Interface > Trunk |
| PREREQUISITES | Interfaces |
| WHERE USED | Policy routes |
Example: See Chapter 6 on page 119.
5.4.4 IPSec VPN
Use IPSec VPN to provide secure communication between two sites over the Internet or any insecure network that uses TCP/IP for communication. The ZyWALL also offers hub-and-spoke VPN.
| MENU ITEM(S) | VPN > IPSec VPN; you can also use the VPN Setup Wizard, which handles most of the prerequisites for you. |
| PREREQUISITES | Interfaces, certificates (authentication), authentication methods (extended authentication), addresses (local network, remote network, NAT), to-ZyWALL firewall, firewall |
| WHERE USED | Policy routes, zones, L2TP VPN |
Example: See Chapter 6 on page 119.
5.4.5 SSL VPN
Use SSL VPN to provide secure network access to remote users.
| MENU ITEM(S) | VPN > SSL VPN |
| PREREQUISITES | Interfaces, SSL application, users, user groups, addresses (network list, IP pool for assigning to clients, DNS and WINS server addresses), to-ZyWALL firewall, firewall |
| WHERE USED | Policy routes, zones |
Example: See Chapter 6 on page 119.
5.4.6 L2TP VPN
Use L2TP VPN to let remote users use the L2TP and IPSec client software included with their computers' operating systems to securely connect to the network behind the ZyWALL.
| MENU ITEM(S) | VPN > L2TP VPN |
| PREREQUISITES | Interfaces, IPSec VPN connection, certificates (authentication), authentication methods (extended authentication), addresses (local network, remote network, NAT, IP pool for assigning to clients, DNS and WINS server addresses), to-ZyWALL firewall, firewall |
| WHERE USED | The IPSec VPN connection used for L2TP VPN can be used in policy routes and zones |
Example: See Chapter 27 on page 415.
5.4.7 Zones
See Section 5.2 on page 102 for background information. A zone is a group of interfaces and VPN tunnels. The ZyWALL uses zones, not interfaces, in many security settings, such as firewall rules and remote management.
Zones cannot overlap. Each interface and VPN tunnel can be assigned to at most one zone. Virtual interfaces are automatically assigned to the same zone as the interface on which they run.
When you create a zone, the ZyWALL does not create any firewall rules, assign an IDP profile, or configure remote management for the new zone.
| MENU ITEM(S) | Network > Zone |
| PREREQUISITES | Interfaces, IPSec VPN, SSL VPN |
| WHERE USED | Firewall, IDP, remote management, anti-virus, ADP, application patrol |
Example: For example, to create the DMZ-2 zone and add ge7, click Network >Zone and then the Add icon.
5.4.8 Device HA
To increase network reliability, device HA lets a backup ZyWALL automatically take over if a master ZyWALL fails.
| MENU ITEM(S) | Device HA |
| PREREQUISITES | Interfaces (with a static IP address), to-ZyWALL firewall |
Example: See Chapter 6 on page 119.
5.4.9 DDNS
Dynamic DNS maps a domain name to a dynamic IP address. The ZyWALL helps maintain this mapping.
| MENU ITEM(S) | Network > DDNS |
| PREREQUISITES | Interface |
5.4.10 Policy Routes
Use policy routes to control the routing of packets through the ZyWALL's interfaces, trunks, and send traffic through VPN connections. You also use policy routes for bandwidth management (out of the ZyWALL), port triggering, and
general NAT on the source address. You have to set up the criteria, next-hops, and NAT settings in other screens first.
| MENU ITEM(S) | Network > Routing > Policy Route |
| PREREQUISITES | Criteria: users, user groups, interfaces (incoming), IPSec VPN (incoming), addresses (source, destination), address groups (source, destination), schedules, services, service groupsNext-hop: addresses (HOST gateway), IPSec VPN, SSL VPN, trunks, interfacesNAT: addresses (translated address), services and service groups (port triggering) |
Example: You have an FTP server connected to ge4 (in the DMZ zone). You want to limit the amount of FTP traffic that goes out from the FTP server through your WAN connection.
1 Create an address object for the FTP server (Object > Address).
2 Click Network > Routing > Policy Route to go to the policy route configuration screen. Add a policy route.
3 Name the policy route.
4 Select the interface that the traffic comes in through (ge4 in this example).
5 Select the FTP server's address as the source address.
6 You don't need to specify the destination address or the schedule.
7 For the service, select FTP.
8 For the Next Hop fields, select Interface as the Type if you have a single WAN connection or Trunk if you have multiple WAN connections.
9 Select the interface that you are using for your WAN connection (ge2 and ge3 are the default WAN interfaces). If you have multiple WAN connections, select the trunk.
10 Specify the amount of bandwidth FTP traffic can use. You may also want to set a low priority for FTP traffic.
Note: The ZyWALL checks the policy routes in the order that they are listed. So make sure that your custom policy route comes before any other routes that would also match the FTP traffic.
5.4.11 Static Routes
Use static routes to tell the ZyWALL about networks not directly connected to the ZyWALL.
| MENU ITEM(S) | Network > Routing > Static Route |
| PREREQUISITES | Interfaces |
5.4.12 Firewall
The firewall controls the travel of traffic between or within zones. You can also configure the firewall to control traffic for virtual server (port forwarding) and policy routes (NAT). You can configure firewall rules based on schedules, specific users (or user groups), source or destination addresses (or address groups) and services (or service groups). Each of these objects must be configured in a different screen.
To-ZyWALL firewall rules control access to the ZyWALL. Configure to-ZyWALL firewall rules for remote management. By default, the firewall allows any computer from the LAN zone to access or manage the ZyWALL. The ZyWALL drops packets from the WAN or DMZ zone to the ZyWALL itself, except for Device HA and VPN traffic.
| MENU ITEM(S) | Firewall |
| PREREQUISITES | Zones, schedules, users, user groups, addresses (source, destination), address groups (source, destination), services, service groups |
Example: Suppose you have a SIP proxy server connected to the DMZ zone for VoIP calls. You could configure a firewall rule to allow VoIP sessions from the SIP proxy server on DMZ to the LAN so VoIP users on the LAN can receive calls.
1 Create a VoIP service object for UDP port 5060 traffic (Object > Service).
2 Create an address object for the VoIP server (Object > Address).
3 Click Firewall to go to the firewall configuration.
4 Select from the DMZ zone to the LAN zone, and add a firewall rule using the items you have configured.
- You don't need to specify the schedule or the user.
- In the Source field, select the address object of the VoIP server.
- You don't need to specify the destination address.
- Leave the Access field set to Allow and the Log field set to No.
Note: The ZyWALL checks the firewall rules in order. Make sure each rule is in the correct place in the sequence.
5.4.13 Application Patrol
Use application patrol to control which individuals can use which services through the ZyWALL (and when they can do so). You can also specify allowed amounts of bandwidth and priorities. You must subscribe to use application patrol. You can subscribe using the Licensing > Registration screens or one of the wizards.
| MENU ITEM(S) | AppPatrol |
| PREREQUISITES | Registration, zones, Schedules, users, user groups, addresses (source, destination), address groups (source, destination). These are only used as criteria in exceptions and conditions. |
Example: Suppose you want to allow vice president Bob to use BitTorrent and block everyone else from using it.
1 Create a user account for Bob (User/Group).
2 Click AppPatrol > Peer to Peer to go to the application patrol configuration screen. Click the BitTorrent application patrol entry's Edit icon.
- Set the default policy's access to Drop.
- Add another policy.
- Select the user account that you created for Bob.
- You can leave the source, destination and log settings at the default.
Note: With this example, Bob would have to log in using his account. If you do not want him to have to log in, you might create an exception policy with Bob's computer IP address as the source.
5.4.14 Anti-Virus
Use anti-virus to detect and take action on viruses. You must subscribe to use anti-virus. You can subscribe using the Licensing > Registration screens or one of the wizards.
| MENU ITEM(S) | Anti-X > AV |
| PREREQUISITES | Registration, zones |
5.4.15 IDP
Use IDP to detect and take action on malicious or suspicious packets. You must subscribe to use IDP. You can subscribe using the Licensing > Registration screens or one of the wizards.
| MENU ITEM(S) | Anti-X > IDP |
| PREREQUISITES | Registration, zones |
5.4.16 ADP
Use ADP to detect and take action on traffic and protocol anomalies.
Use content filtering to block or allow access to specific categories of web site content, individual web sites and web features (such as cookies). You can define which user accounts (or groups) can access what content and at what times. You must have a subscription in order to use the category-based content filtering. You can subscribe using the menu item or one of the wizards.
| MENU ITEM(S) | Anti-X > Content Filter |
| PREREQUISITES | Registration, addresses (source), schedules, users, user groups |
Example: You can configure a policy that blocks Bill's access to arts and entertainment web pages during the workday. You must have already subscribed to the content filter service.
1 Create a user account for Bill if you have not done so already (User/Group).
2 Create a schedule for the work day (Object > Schedule).
3 Click Anti-X > Content Filter > Filter Profile. Click the Add icon to go to the screen where you can configure a category-based profile.
4 Name the profile and enable it.
5 Enable the external web filter service.
6 Decide what to do for matched web sites (Block in this example), unrated web sites and what to do when the category-based content filtering service is not available.
7 Select the Arts/Entertainment category (you need to click Advanced to display it).
8 Click OK.
9 Click General to go to the content filter general configuration screen.
10 Enable the content filter.
11 Add a policy that uses the schedule, the filtering profile and the user that you created.
5.4.18 Anti-Spam
Use anti-spam to detect and take action on spam mail.
| MENU ITEM(S) | Anti-X > Anti-Spam |
| PREREQUISITES | Zones |
5.4.19 Virtual Server (Port Forwarding)
Use this to change the address and/or port number of packets coming in from a specified interface. This is also known as port forwarding.
The ZyWALL does not check to-ZyWALL firewall rules for packets that are redirected by virtual server. It does check regular (through-ZyWALL) firewall rules.
| MENU ITEM(S) | Network > Virtual Server |
| PREREQUISITES | Interfaces, addresses (HOST) |
Example: Suppose you have an FTP server with a private IP address connected to a DMZ port. You could configure a virtual server rule to forwards FTP sessions from the WAN to the DMZ.
1 Click Network > Virtual Server to configure the virtual server. Add an entry.
2 Name the entry.
3 Select the WAN interface that the FTP traffic is to come in through (in this example, ge2 or ge3.)
4 Specify the public WAN IP address where the ZyWALL will receive the FTP packets.
5 In the Mapped IP field, list the IP address of the FTP server. The ZyWALL will forward the packets received for the original IP address.
6 In Mapping Type, select Port.
7 Enter 21 in both the Original and the Mapped Port fields.
5.4.20 HTTP Redirect
Configure this feature to have the ZyWALL transparently forward HTTP (web) traffic to a proxy server. This can speed up web browsing because the proxy server keeps copies of the web pages that have been accessed so they are readily available the next time one of your users needs to access that page.
The ZyWALL does not check to-ZyWALL firewall rules for packets that are redirected by HTTP redirect. It does check regular (through-ZyWALL) firewall rules.
| MENU ITEM(S) | Network > HTTP Redirect |
| PREREQUISITES | Interfaces |
Example: Suppose you want HTTP requests from your LAN to go to a HTTP proxy server at IP address 192.168.3.80.
1 Click Network > HTTP Redirect.
2 Add an entry.
3 Name the entry.
4 Select the interface from which you want to redirect incoming HTTP requests (ge1).
5 Specify the IP address of the HTTP proxy server.
6 Specify the port number to use for the HTTP traffic that you forward to the proxy server.
5.4.21 ALG
The ZyWALL's Application Layer Gateway (ALG) allows VoIP and FTP applications to go through NAT on the ZyWALL. You can also specify additional signaling port numbers.
| MENU ITEM(S) | Network > ALG |
5.5 Objects
Objects store information and are referenced by other features. If you update this information in response to changes, the ZyWALL automatically propagates the change through the features that use the object.
The following table introduces the objects. You can also use this table when you want to delete an object because you have to delete references to the object first.
Table 28 Objects Overview
| OBJECT | WHERE USED |
| user/group | See the User/Group section for details on users and user groups. |
| address | VPN connections (local / remote network, NAT), policy routes (criteria, next-hop [HOST], NAT), firewall, application patrol (source, destination), content filter, virtual server (HOST), user settings (force user authentication), address groups, remote management (System) |

This chapter provides some examples of using the web configurator to set up features in the ZyWALL. See also Chapter 27 on page 415 for an example of configuring L2TP.
6.1 How to Configure Interfaces, Port Grouping, and Zones
This tutorial shows how to configure Ethernet interfaces, port grouping, and zones for the following example configuration (see Section 5.2.2 on page 103 for the default configuration).
- Interface ge8 uses a static IP address of 1.2.3.4 and is in the WAN zone.
- This example uses a limited number of DMZ servers that need full wire speed communication with each other, so ports P4, P5, and P6 are combined into a ge4 interface port group. It uses IP address 192.168.2.1.

In this example, the ZyWALL is router X (1.2.3.4), and the remote IPSec router is router Y (2.2.2.2). Create the VPN tunnel between ZyWALL X's LAN subnet
(192.168.1.0/24) and the LAN subnet behind peer IPSec router Y (172.16.1.0/24).
6.3.1 Set Up the VPN Gateway
The VPN gateway manages the IKE SA. You do not have to set up any other objects before you configure the VPN gateway because this VPN tunnel does not use any certificates or extended authentication.
1 Click VPN > IPSec VPN > VPN Gateway, and then click the Add icon.
2 Give the VPN gateway a name ("VPN_GW_EXAMPLE"). For My Address, select Interface and ge8. For the Peer Gateway Address, select Static Address and enter 2.2.2.2 in field 1. For the Authentication, Select Pre-Shared Key and enter 12345678. Click OK.

To trigger the VPN, either try to connect to a device on the peer IPSec router's LAN or click VPN > IPSec VPN > VPN Connection and use the VPN connection screen's Connect icon.
6.3.4 Configure Security Policies for the VPN Tunnel
You configure security policies based on zones. Assign the new VPN connection to a zone to be able to apply security policies (firewall rules, IDP, and so on) to the VPN connection. Make sure all firewalls between the ZyWALL and remote IPSec router allow UDP port 500 (IKE) and IP protocol 50 (AH) or 51 (ESP). If you enable NAT traversal, all firewalls between the ZyWALL and remote IPSec router should also allow UDP port 4500.
6.4 How to Configure User-aware Access Control
You can configure many policies and security settings for specific users or groups of users. This is illustrated in the following example, where you will set up the following policies. This is a simple example that does not include priorities for different types of traffic. See Bandwidth Management on page 446 for more on bandwidth management.
Table 30 User-aware Access Control Example
| GROUP (USER) | WEB SURFING | WEB BANDWIDTH | MSN | LAN-TO-DMZ ACCESS |
| Finance (Leo) | Yes | 200K | No | Yes |
| Engineer (Steven) | Yes | 100K | No | No |

| Others | No | --- | No | No |
The users are authenticated by an external RADIUS server at 192.168.1.200.
First, set up the user accounts and user groups in the ZyWALL. Then, set up user authentication using the RADIUS server. Finally, set up the policies in the table above.
The ZyWALL has its default settings.
6.4.1 Set Up User Accounts
Set up one user account for each user account in the RADIUS server. If it is possible to export user names from the RADIUS server to a text file, then you might create a script to create the user accounts instead. This example uses the web configurator.
1 Click Object > User/Group > User. Click the Add icon.
2 Enter the same user name that is used in the RADIUS server, and set the User Type to Ext-User because this user account is authenticated by an external server. Click OK.

6.5 How to Configure Service Control
Service control lets you configure rules that control HTTP and HTTPS management access (to the web configurator) and separate rules that control HTTP and HTTPS user access (logging into SSL VPN for example). See Chapter 45 on page 697 for more on service control.
The To-ZyWALL firewall rules apply to any kind of HTTP or HTTPS connection to the ZyWALL. They do not distinguish between administrator management access and user access. If you configure service control to allow management or user HTTP or HTTPS access, make sure the firewall is not configured to block that access.
6.5.1 Allow HTTPS Administrator Access Only From the LAN
This example configures service control to block administrator HTTPS access from all zones except the LAN.
1 Click System > WWW.
2 In HTTPS Admin Service Control, click the Add icon.

6.6 How to Allow Incoming H.323 Peer-to-peer Calls
Suppose you have a H.323 device on the LAN for VoIP calls and you want it to be able to receive peer-to-peer calls from the WAN. Here is an example of how to configure virtual server (port forwarding) and firewall rules to have the ZyWALL
forward H.323 traffic destined for ge2 IP address 10.0.0.8 to a H.323 device located on the LAN and using IP address 192.168.1.56.

Here is an example of using device HA (High Availability) to backup ZyWALL A (the master) with ZyWALL B. ZyWALL B automatically takes over all of A's functions if A fails or loses its ge1 or ge2 connection.
An Ethernet switch connects both ZyWALLs' ge1 interfaces to the LAN. Whichever ZyWALL is functioning as the master uses the default gateway IP address of the LAN computers (192.168.1.1) for its ge1 interface and the static public IP address (1.1.1.1) for its ge2 interface. If ZyWALL A recovers (has both its ge1 and ge2
interfaces connected), it resumes its role as the master and takes over all of its functions again.

Each ZyWALL's ge1 interface also has a separate management IP address that stays the same whether the ZyWALL functions as the master or a backup. ZyWALL A's management IP address is 192.168.1.3 and ZyWALL B's is 192.168.1.5.

6.7.1 Before You Start
ZyWALL A should already be configured. You will use device HA to copy ZyWALL A's settings to B later (in Section 6.7.3 on page 144). To avoid an IP address conflict, do not connect ZyWALL B to the LAN subnet until after you configure its device HA settings and the instructions tell you to deploy it (in Section 6.7.4 on page 145).
6.7.2 Configure Device HA on the Master ZyWALL
1 Log into ZyWALL A (the master) and click Device HA > Active-Passive Mode. Click ge1's Edit icon.
2 Configure 192.168.1.3 as the Management IP and 255.255.255.0 as the Subnet Mask. Click OK.

Connect ZyWALL B's ge1 interface to the LAN network. Connect ZyWALL B's ge2 interface to the same router that ZyWALL A's ge2 interface uses for Internet access. ZyWALL B copies A's configuration (and re-synchronizes with A every
hour). If ZyWALL A fails or loses its ge1 or ge2 connection, ZyWALL B functions as the master.
6.7.5 Check Your Device HA Setup
1 To make sure ZyWALL B copied ZyWALL A's settings, you can log into ZyWALL B's management IP address (192.168.1.5) and check the configuration. You can use the Maintenance > File Manager > Configuration File screen to save copies of the ZyWALLs' configuration files that you can compare.
2 To test your device HA configuration, disconnect ZyWALL A's ge1 or ge2 interface. Computers on LAN should still be able to access the Internet. If they cannot, check your connections and device HA configuration.
Congratulations! Now that you have configured device HA for LAN, you can use the same process for any of the ZyWALL's other local networks. For example, enable device HA monitoring on the DMZ interfaces and use an Ethernet switch to connect both ZyWALLs' DMZ interfaces to your publicly available servers.
6.8 How to Allow Public Access to a Server
This is an example of making an HTTP (web) server in the DMZ zone accessible from the Internet (the WAN zone). You will use a public IP address of 1.1.1.2 on the ge3 interface and map it to the HTTP server's private IP address of 192.168.3.7.

6.8.1 Create the Address Objects
Use Object > Address > Add to create the address objects.
1 Create an address object named DMZ_HTTP for the HTTP server's private IP address of 192.168.3.7.

Configuration Name WAN2_HTTP Address Type HOST IP Address 1.1.1.2 OK Cancel6.8.2 Configure a Virtual Server
You need a virtual server to send HTTP traffic coming to IP address 1.1.1.2 on ge3 to the HTTP server's private IP address of 192.168.3.7. In the Network > Virtual Server screen, click the + symbol and create a new virtual server entry as shown next.
- This virtual server is for traffic coming in on ge3 to IP address 1.1.1.2 (defined in the ge3_HTTP object).
- The virtual server sends this traffic to the HTTP server's private IP address of 192.168.3.7 (defined in the DMZ_HTTP object).
- HTTP traffic and the HTTP server in this example both use TCP port 80. So you set the Port Mapping Type to Port, the Protocol Type to TCP, and the original and mapped ports to 80.
- In this example 1.1.1.2 is not the default IP address for sessions going out through ge3. Select Add corresponding Policy Route rule for NAT 1:1 mapping to send the HTTP server's outgoing sessions through ge3 and use 1.1.1.2 as the source IP address (to match the IP address for accessing it). See NAT 1:1 Example on page 292 for details.
- Select Add corresponding Policy Route rule for NAT Loopback to allow local users to use a domain name to access the HTTP server. See NAT Loopback Example on page 297 for details.

Add corresponding Policy Route rule for NAT Loopback. Configure Firewall OK CancelThe firewall allows traffic from the WAN zone to the DMZ zone by default so your configuration is done. Now the public can go to IP address 1.1.1.2 to access the HTTP server. If a domain name is registered for IP address 1.1.1.2, users can just go to the domain name to access the web server.

Registration
8.1 Overview
Use the Licensing > Registration screens to register your ZyWALL and manage its service subscriptions.
8.1.1 What You Can Do in the Registration Screens
- Use the Registration screen (see Section 8.2 on page 167) to register your ZyWALL with myZyXEL.com and activate a service, such as content filtering.
- Use the Service screen (see Section 8.3 on page 169) to display the status of your service registrations and upgrade licenses.
8.1.2 What you Need to Know About Service Registration
This section introduces the topics covered in this chapter.
myZyXEL.com
myZyXEL.com is ZyXEL's online services center where you can register your ZyWALL and manage subscription services available for the ZyWALL. To update signature files or use a subscription service, you have to register the ZyWALL and activate the corresponding service at myZyXEL.com (through the ZyWALL).
Note: You need to create a myZyXEL.com account before you can register your device and activate the services at myZyXEL.com.
You can directly create a myZyXEL.com account, register your ZyWALL and activate a service using the Registration screen. Alternatively, go to http://www.myZyXEL.com with the ZyWALL's serial number and LAN MAC address to register it. Refer to the web site's on-line help for details.
Note: To activate a service on a ZyWALL, you need to access myZyXEL.com via that ZyWALL.
Subscription Services Available on the ZyWALL
You can have the ZyWALL use anti-virus, IDP/AppPatrol (Intrusion Detection and Prevention and application patrol), and content filtering subscription services. You can also purchase and enter a license key to have the ZyWALL use more SSL VPN tunnels. See the respective User's Guide chapters for more information about these features.
Anti-Virus Engines
Subscribe to signature files for ZyXEL's anti-virus engine or one powered by Kaspersky.
- When using the trial, you can switch from one engine to the other in the Registration screen. There is no limit on the number of times you can change the anti-virus engine selection during the trial, but you only get a total of one anti-virus trial period (not a separate trial period for each anti-virus engine).
- After the trial expires, you need to purchase an iCard for the anti-virus engine you want to use and enter the PIN number (license key) in the Registration > Service screen. You must use the ZyXEL anti-virus iCard for the ZyXEL anti-virus engine and the Kaspersky anti-virus iCard for the Kaspersky anti-virus engine. If you were already using an iCard anti-virus subscription, any remaining time on your earlier subscription is automatically added to the new subscription. Even if the earlier iCard anti-virus subscription was for a different anti-virus engine. For example, suppose you purchase a one-year Kaspersky engine anti-virus service subscription and use it for six months. Then you purchase a one-year ZyXEL engine anti-virus service subscription and enter the iCard's PIN number (license key) in the Registration > Service screen. The one-year ZyXEL engine anti-virus service subscription is automatically extended to 18 months.

10.1 Interface Overview
Use the Interface screens to configure the ZyWALL's interfaces. You can also create interfaces on top of other interfaces.
- Ports are the physical ports to which you connect cables.
- Interfaces are used within the system operationally. You use them in configuring various features. An interface also describes a network that is directly connected to the ZyWALL. For example, You connect the LAN network to the ge1 interface.
- Zones are groups of interfaces used to ease security policy configuration.
10.1.1 What You Can Do in the Interface Screens
- Use the Interface Status screen (Section 10.2 on page 185) to see all of the ZyWALL's interfaces and their packet statistics.
- Use the Port Grouping screens (Section 10.3 on page 188) to create port groups and to assign physical ports and port groups to Ethernet interfaces.
- Use the Ethernet screens (Section 10.4 on page 190) to configure the Ethernet interfaces. Ethernet interfaces are the foundation for defining other interfaces and network policies. RIP and OSPF are also configured in these interfaces.
- Use the PPP screens (Section 10.6 on page 198) for PPPoE or PPTP Internet connections.
- Use the Cellular screens (Section 10.7 on page 205) to configure settings for interfaces for Internet connections through an installed 3G card.
- Use the VLAN screens (Section 10.9 on page 214) to divide the physical network into multiple logical networks. VLAN interfaces receive and send tagged frames. The ZyWALL automatically adds or removes the tags as needed. Each VLAN can only be associated with one Ethernet interface.
- Use the Bridge screens (Section 10.10 on page 222) to combine two or more network segments into a single network.
-
Use the Auxiliary screens (Section 10.11 on page 230) to configure the ZyWALL's auxiliary interface to use an external modem.
-
Use the Virtual Interface screen (Section 10.12 on page 233) to create virtual interfaces on top of Ethernet interfaces to tell the ZyWALL where to route packets. You can create virtual Ethernet interfaces, virtual VLAN interfaces, and virtual bridge interfaces.
- Use the Trunks screens (Chapter 11 on page 239) to configure load balancing.
10.1.2 What You Need to Know About Interfaces
Interface Characteristics
Interfaces generally have the following characteristics (although not all characteristics apply to each type of interface).
- An interface is a logical entity through which (layer-3) packets pass.
- An interface is bound to a physical port or another interface.
- Many interfaces can share the same physical port.
- An interface belongs to at most one zone.
- Many interfaces can belong to the same zone.
- Layer-3 virtualization (IP alias, for example) is a kind of interface.
Types of Interfaces
You can create several types of interfaces in the ZyWALL.
- Port groups create a hardware connection between physical ports at the layer-2 (data link, MAC address) level.
- Ethernet interfaces are the foundation for defining other interfaces and network policies. RIP and OSPF are also configured in these interfaces.
- VLAN interfaces receive and send tagged frames. The ZyWALL automatically adds or removes the tags as needed. Each VLAN can only be associated with one Ethernet interface.
- Bridge interfaces create a software connection between Ethernet or VLAN interfaces at the layer-2 (data link, MAC address) level. Unlike port groups, bridge interfaces can take advantage of some security features in the ZyWALL. You can also assign an IP address and subnet mask to the bridge.
- PPPoE/PPTP interfaces support Point-to-Point Protocols (PPP). ISP accounts are required for PPPoE/PPTP interfaces.
- Virtual interfaces provide additional routing information in the ZyWALL. There are three types: virtual Ethernet interfaces, virtual VLAN interfaces, and virtual bridge interfaces.
- The auxiliary interface, along with an external modem, provides an interface the ZyWALL can use to dial out. This interface can be used as a backup WAN interface, for example. The auxiliary interface controls the AUX port.
- Trunks manage load balancing between interfaces.
Port groups, trunks, and the auxiliary interface have a lot of characteristics that are specific to each type of interface. See Section 10.3 on page 188, Chapter 11 on page 239, and Section 10.11 on page 230 for details. The other types of interfaces--Ethernet, VLAN, bridge, PPPoE/PPTP, and virtual--have a lot of similar characteristics. These characteristics are listed in the following table and discussed in more detail below.
Table 45 Ethernet, VLAN, Bridge, PPPoE/PPTP, and Virtual Interfaces Characteristics
| CHARACTERISTICS | ETHERNET | VLAN | BRIDGE | PPPOE/PPTP | VIRTUAL |
| Name* | gex | vlanx | brx | pppx | ** |

| DHCP | |||||
| DHCP server | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | No |
| DHCP relay | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | No |
| Ping Check | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
* - The format of interface names is strict. Each name consists of 2-4 letters (interface type), followed by a number (x, limited by the maximum number of each type of interface). For example, Ethernet interface names are ge1, ge2, ge3, ...; VLAN interfaces are vlan0, vlan1, vlan2, ...; and so on.
** - The names of virtual interfaces are derived from the interfaces on which they are created. For example, virtual interfaces created on Ethernet interface ge1 are called ge1:1, ge1:2, and so on. Virtual interfaces created on VLAN interface vlan2 are called vlan2:1, vlan2:2, and so on. You cannot specify the number after the colon(:) in the web configurator; it is a sequential number. You can specify the number after the colon if you use the CLI to set up a virtual interface.
Relationships Between Interfaces
In the ZyWALL, interfaces are usually created on top of other interfaces. Only Ethernet interfaces are created directly on top of the physical ports or port groups. The relationships between interfaces are explained in the following table.
* - You cannot set up a PPPoE/PPTP interface, virtual Ethernet interface or virtual VLAN interface if the underlying interface is a member of a bridge. You also cannot add an Ethernet interface or VLAN interface to a bridge if the member interface has a virtual interface or PPPoE/PPTP interface on top of it.

10.3 Port Grouping
This section introduces port groups and then explains the screen for port groups.
10.3.1 Port Grouping Overview
Use port grouping to create port groups and to assign physical ports and port groups to Ethernet interfaces.
Each physical port is assigned to one Ethernet interface. In port grouping, the Ethernet interfaces are called representative interfaces. If you assign more than one physical port to a representative interface, you create a port group. Port groups have the following characteristics:
- There is a layer-2 Ethernet switch between physical ports in the port group. This provides wire-speed throughput but no security.
- It can increase the bandwidth between the port group and other interfaces.
In the example below, you might combine physical ports 3 and 4 into port group ge3.

| General Settings | |
| Enable Interface | Select this to enable this interface. Clear this to disable this interface. |
| Interface Properties | |
| Interface Name | This field is read-only. This is the name of the Ethernet interface. |
| MAC Address | This field is read-only. This is the MAC address that the Ethernet interface uses. |
| Description | Enter a description of this interface. It is not used elsewhere. You can use alphanumeric and ( ) + / : = ? ! * #@$ _% - characters, and it can be up to 60 characters long. |
| IP Address Assignment | These IP address fields configure an IP address on the interface itself. If you change this IP address on the interface, you may also need to change a related address object for the network connected to the interface. For example, if you use this screen to change the IP address of your LAN interface, you should also change the corresponding LAN subnet address object. |
| Get Automatically | Select this to make the interface a DHCP client and automatically get the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address from a DHCP server.You should not select this if the interface is assigned to a VRRP group.See Chapter 35 on page 593. |
| Use Fixed IP Address | Select this if you want to specify the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway manually. |
| IP Address | This field is enabled if you select Use Fixed IP Address.Enter the IP address for this interface. |
| Subnet Mask | This field is enabled if you select Use Fixed IP Address.Enter the subnet mask of this interface in dot decimal notation. The subnet mask indicates what part of the IP address is the same for all computers in the network. |
| Gateway | This field is enabled if you select Use Fixed IP Address.Enter the IP address of the gateway. The ZyWALL sends packets to the gateway when it does not know how to route the packet to its destination. The gateway should be on the same network as the interface. |
| Metric | Enter the priority of the gateway (if any) on this interface. The ZyWALL decides which gateway to use based on this priority. The lower the number, the higher the priority. If two or more gateways have the same priority, the ZyWALL uses the one that was configured first. |
| Interface Parameters | |
| Egress Bandwidth | Enter the maximum amount of traffic, in kilobits per second, the ZyWALL can send through the interface to the network. Allowed values are 0 - 1048576. |
| Ingress Bandwidth | This is reserved for future use.Enter the maximum amount of traffic, in kilobits per second, the ZyWALL can receive from the network through the interface. Allowed values are 0 - 1048576. |
| MTU | Maximum Transmission Unit. Type the maximum size of each data packet, in bytes, that can move through this interface. If a larger packet arrives, the ZyWALL divides it into smaller fragments. Allowed values are 576 - 1500. Usually, this value is 1500. |
| Connectivity Check | The interface can regularly check the connection to the gateway you specified to make sure it is still available. You specify how often the interface checks the connection, how long to wait for a response before the attempt is a failure, and how many consecutive failures are required before the ZyWALL stops routing to the gateway. The ZyWALL resumes routing to the gateway the first time the gateway passes the connectivity check. |
| Enable Connectivity Check | Select this to turn on the connection check. |
| Check Method | Select the method that the gateway allows.Select icmp to have the ZyWALL regularly ping the gateway you specify to make sure it is still available.Select tcp to have the ZyWALL regularly perform a TCP handshake with the gateway you specify to make sure it is still available. |
| Check Period | Enter the number of seconds between connection check attempts. |
| Check Timeout | Enter the number of seconds to wait for a response before the attempt is a failure. |
| Check Fail Tolerance | Enter the number of consecutive failures before the ZyWALL stops routing through the gateway. |
| Check Default Gateway | Select this to use the default gateway for the connectivity check. |
| Check this address | Select this to specify a domain name or IP address for the connectivity check. Enter that domain name or IP address in the field next to it. |
| Check Port | This field only displays when you set the Check Method to tcp. Specify the port number to use for a TCP connectivity check. |
| DHCP Setting | |
| DHCP | Select what type of DHCP service the ZyWALL provides to the network. Choices are:None- the ZyWALL does not provide any DHCP services. There is already a DHCP server on the network.DHCP Relay- the ZyWALL routes DHCP requests to one or more DHCP servers you specify. The DHCP server(s) may be on another network.DHCP Server- the ZyWALL assigns IP addresses and provides subnet mask, gateway, and DNS server information to the network. The ZyWALL is the DHCP server for the network. |
| These fields appear if the ZyWALL is a DHCP Relay. | |
| Relay Server 1 | Enter the IP address of a DHCP server for the network. |
| Relay Server 2 | This field is optional. Enter the IP address of another DHCP server for the network. |
| These fields appear if the ZyWALL is a DHCP Server. | |
| IP Pool Start Address | Enter the IP address from which the ZyWALL begins allocating IP addresses. If you want to assign a static IP address to a specific computer, click Edit static DHCP table.If this field is blank, the Pool Size must also be blank. In this case, the ZyWALL can assign every IP address allowed by the interface's IP address and subnet mask, except for the first address (network address), last address (broadcast address) and the interface's IP address. |
| Pool Size | Enter the number of IP addresses to allocate. This number must be at least one and is limited by the interface's Subnet Mask. For example, if the Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0 and IP Pool Start Address is 10.10.10.10, the ZyWALL can allocate 10.10.10.10 to 10.10.10.254, or 245 IP addresses.If this field is blank, the IP Pool Start Address must also be blank. In this case, the ZyWALL can assign every IP address allowed by the interface's IP address and subnet mask, except for the first address (network address), last address (broadcast address) and the interface's IP address. |
| First DNS Server, Second DNS Server, Third DNS Server | Specify the IP addresses up to three DNS servers for the DHCP clients to use. Use one of the following ways to specify these IP addresses.Custom Defined - enter a static IP address.From ISP - select the DNS server that another interface received from its DHCP server.ZyWALL - the DHCP clients use the IP address of this interface and the ZyWALL works as a DNS relay. |
| First WINS Server, Second WINS Server | Type the IP address of the WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service) server that you want to send to the DHCP clients. The WINS server keeps a mapping table of the computer names on your network and the IP addresses that they are currently using. |
| Lease time | Specify how long each computer can use the information (especially the IP address) before it has to request the information again.Choices are:infinite- select this if IP addresses never expire.days, hours, and minutes- select this to enter how long IP addresses are valid. |
| Enable IP/MAC Binding | Select this option to have this interface enforce links between specific IP addresses and specific MAC addresses. This stops anyone else from manually using a bound IP address on another device connected to this interface. Use this to make use only the intended users get to use specific IP addresses. |

10.6 The PPP Interfaces
This section introduces PPPoE, PPTP, and PPPoE/PPTP interfaces and then explains the screens for PPPoE/PPTP interfaces.
10.6.1 PPPoE/PPTP Overview
Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE, RFC 2516) and Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP, RFC 2637) are usually used to connect two computers over phone lines or broadband connections.
PPPoE is often used with cable modems and DSL connections. It provides the following advantages:
- The access and authentication method works with existing systems, including RADIUS.
- You can access one of several network services. This makes it easier for the service provider to offer the service
- PPPoE does not usually require any special configuration of the modem.
PPTP is used to set up virtual private networks (VPN) in unsecure TCP/IP environments. It sets up two sessions.
1 The first one runs on TCP port 1723. It is used to start and manage the second one.
2 The second one uses Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE, RFC 2890) to transfer information between the computers.
PPTP is convenient and easy-to-use, but you have to make sure that firewalls support both PPTP sessions.
10.6.2 PPPoE/PPTP Interfaces Overview
In the ZyWALL, you may use PPPoE/PPTP interfaces to connect to your ISP. This way, you do not have to install or manage PPPoE/PPTP software on each computer in the network.
Figure 133 Example: PPPoE/PPTP Interfaces

flowchart
graph LR
A["Router"] <--> B["INTERNET"]
B <--> C["ISP"]
PPPoE/PPTP interfaces are similar to other interfaces in some ways. They have an IP address, subnet mask, and gateway used to make routing decisions; they restrict bandwidth and packet size; and they can verify the gateway is available. There are two main differences between PPPoE/PPTP interfaces and other interfaces.
1 You must set up an ISP account before you create a PPPoE/PPTP interface.
Each ISP account specifies the protocol (PPPoE or PPTP), as well as your ISP account information. If you change ISPs later, you only have to create a new ISP account, not a new PPPoE/PPTP interface. You should not have to change any network policies.
2 You do not set up the subnet mask or gateway.
PPPoE/PPTP interfaces are interfaces between the ZyWALL and only one computer. Therefore, the subnet mask is always 255.255.255.255. In addition, the ZyWALL always treats the ISP as a gateway.
At the time of writing, it is possible to set up the IP address of the gateway (ISP) using CLI commands but not in the web configurator.

10.7 Cellular Configuration Screen (3G)
3G (Third Generation) is a digital, packet-switched wireless technology. Bandwidth usage is optimized as multiple users share the same channel and bandwidth is only allocated to users when they send data. It allows fast transfer of voice and non-voice data and provides broadband Internet access to mobile devices.
Note: The actual data rate you obtain varies depending the 3G card you use, the signal strength to the service provider's base station, and so on.
If the signal strength of a 3G network is too low, the 3G card may switch to an available 2.5G or 2.75G network. See the following table for a comparison between 2G, 2.5G, 2.75G and 3G of wireless technologies.

| 2.5G | Packet-switched | GPRS (General Packet Radio Services), High-Speed Circuit-Switched Data (HSCSD), etc. | CDMA2000 is a hybrid 2.5G / 3G protocol of mobile telecommunications standards that use CDMA, a multiple access scheme for digital radio. | |
| 2.75G | Packet-switched | Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE), Enhanced GPRS (EGPRS), etc. | CDMA2000 1xRTT (1 times Radio Transmission Technology) is the core CDMA2000 wireless air interface standard. It is also known as 1x, 1xRTT, or IS-2000 and considered to be a 2.5G or 2.75G technology. | |
| 3G | Packet-switched | UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System), a third-generation (3G) wireless standard defined in ITU specification, is sometimes marketed as 3GSM. The UMTS uses GSM infrastructures and W-CDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) as the air interface. | CDMA2000 EV-DO (Evolution-Data Optimized, originally 1x Evolution-Data Only), also referred to as EV-DO, EVDO, or just EV, is an evolution of CDMA2000 1xRTT and enables high-speed wireless connectivity. It is also denoted as IS-856 or High Data Rate (HDR). | |
| 3.5G | Packet-switched | HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access) is a mobile telephony protocol, used for UMTS-based 3G networks and allows for higher data transfer speeds. | Fast | |

10.9 VLAN Interfaces
This section introduces VLAN and VLAN interfaces and then explains the screens for VLAN interfaces.
10.9.1 VLAN Overview
A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) divides a physical network into multiple logical networks. The standard is defined in IEEE 802.1q.

style C fill:#cfc,stroke:#333
style D fill:#fcc,stroke:#333
In this example, there are two physical networks and three departments A, B, and C. The physical networks are connected to hubs, and the hubs are connected to the router.
Alternatively, you can divide the physical networks into three VLANs.

G --> H["VLAN ID = 1"]
G --> I["VLAN ID = 2"]
G --> J["VLAN ID = 3"]
Each VLAN is a separate network with separate IP addresses, subnet masks, and gateways. Each VLAN also has a unique identification number (ID). The ID is a 12-bit value that is stored in the MAC header. The VLANs are connected to switches, and the switches are connected to the router. (If one switch has enough connections for the entire network, the network does not need switches A and B.)
- Traffic inside each VLAN is layer-2 communication (data link layer, MAC addresses). It is handled by the switches. As a result, the new switch is required to handle traffic inside VLAN 2. Traffic is only broadcast inside each VLAN, not each physical network.
- Traffic between VLANs (or between a VLAN and another type of network) is layer-3 communication (network layer, IP addresses). It is handled by the router.
This approach provides a few advantages.
- Increased performance - In VLAN 2, the extra switch should route traffic inside the sales department faster than the router does. In addition, broadcasts are limited to smaller, more logical groups of users.
- Higher security - If each computer has a separate physical connection to the switch, then broadcast traffic in each VLAN is never sent to computers in another VLAN.
- Better manageability - You can align network policies more appropriately for users. For example, you can create different content filtering rules for each VLAN (each department in the example above), and you can set different bandwidth limits for each VLAN. These rules are also independent of the physical network, so you can change the physical network without changing policies.
In this example, the new switch handles the following types of traffic:
- Inside VLAN 2.
- Between the router and VLAN 1.
- Between the router and VLAN 2.
- Between the router and VLAN 3.
10.9.2 VLAN Interfaces Overview
In the ZyWALL, each VLAN is called a VLAN interface. As a router, the ZyWALL routes traffic between VLAN interfaces, but it does not route traffic within a VLAN interface. All traffic for each VLAN interface can go through only one Ethernet interface, though each Ethernet interface can have one or more VLAN interfaces.
Note: Each VLAN interface is created on top of only one Ethernet interface.
Otherwise, VLAN interfaces are similar to other interfaces in many ways. They have an IP address, subnet mask, and gateway used to make routing decisions. They restrict bandwidth and packet size. They can provide DHCP services, and they can verify the gateway is available.
10.9.3 VLAN Summary Screen
This screen lists every VLAN interface and virtual interface created on top of VLAN interfaces. To access this screen, click Network > Interface > VLAN.

10.10 Bridge Interfaces
This section introduces bridges and bridge interfaces and then explains the screens for bridge interfaces.
10.10.1 Bridge Overview
A bridge creates a connection between two or more network segments at the layer-2 (MAC address) level. In the following example, bridge X connects four network segments.

When the bridge receives a packet, the bridge records the source MAC address and the port on which it was received in a table. It also looks up the destination MAC address in the table. If the bridge knows on which port the destination MAC address is located, it sends the packet to that port. If the destination MAC address is not in the table, the bridge broadcasts the packet on every port (except the one on which it was received).
In the example above, computer A sends a packet to computer B. Bridge X records the source address 0A:0A:0A:0A:0A:0A and port 2 in the table. It also
looks up 0B:0B:0B:0B:0B:0B in the table. There is no entry yet, so the bridge broadcasts the packet on ports 1, 3, and 4.
Table 60 Example: Bridge Table After Computer A Sends a Packet to Computer B
| MAC ADDRESS | PORT |
| OA:OA:OA:OA:OA:OA | 2 |
If computer B responds to computer A, bridge X records the source address 0B:0B:0B:0B:0B:0B and port 4 in the table. It also looks up 0A:0A:0A:0A:0A:0A in the table and sends the packet to port 2 accordingly.

10.10.2 Bridge Interface Overview
A bridge interface creates a software bridge between the members of the bridge interface. It also becomes the ZyWALL's interface for the resulting network.
Unlike the device-wide bridge mode in ZyNOS-based ZyWALLs, this ZyWALL can bridge traffic between some interfaces while it routes traffic for other interfaces. The bridge interfaces also support more functions, like interface bandwidth parameters, DHCP settings, and ping check. To use the whole ZyWALL as a transparent bridge, add all of the ZyWALL's interfaces to a bridge interface.
A bridge interface may consist of the following members:
- Zero or one VLAN interfaces (and any associated virtual VLAN interfaces)
- Any number of Ethernet interfaces (and any associated virtual Ethernet interfaces)
When you create a bridge interface, the ZyWALL removes the members' entries from the routing table and adds the bridge interface's entries to the routing table. For example, this table shows the routing table before and after you create bridge interface br0 (250.250.250.0/23) between ge1 and vlan1.
Table 62 Example: Routing Table Before and After Bridge Interface br0 Is Created
| IP ADDRESS(ES) | DESTINATION |
| 210.210.210.0/24 | ge1 |
| 210.211.1.0/24 | ge1: 1 |
| 221.221.221.0/24 | vlan0 |
| 222.222.222.0/24 | vlan1 |
| 230.230.230.192/26 | ge3 |
| IP ADDRESS(ES) | DESTINATION |
| 221.221.221.0/24 | vlan0 |
| 230.230.230.192/26 | ge3 |
| 241.241.241.241/32 | ge4 |
| 242.242.242.242/32 | ge5 |
| 250.250.250.0/23 | br0 |
Table 62 Example: Routing Table Before and After Bridge Interface br0 Is Created
| IP ADDRESS(ES) | DESTINATION | IP ADDRESS(ES) | DESTINATION |
| 241.241.241.241/32 | ge4 | ||
| 242.242.242.242/32 | ge5 |
In this example, virtual Ethernet interface ge1:1 is also removed from the routing table when ge1 is added to br0. Virtual interfaces are automatically added to or remove from a bridge interface when the underlying interface is added or removed.

10.11 Auxiliary Interface
This section introduces the auxiliary interface and then explains the screen for it.
10.11.1 Auxiliary Interface Overview
Use the auxiliary interface to dial out from the ZyWALL's auxiliary port. For example, you might use this interface as a backup WAN interface.
You have to connect an external modem to the ZyWALL's auxiliary port to use the auxiliary interface.
Note: You have to connect an external modem to the auxiliary port.
The ZyWALL uses the auxiliary interface to dial out in two situations.
1 You click the Connect icon on the ZyWALL Status screen.
2 The load auxiliary interface must connect to satisfy load-balancing requirements. You have to add the auxiliary interface to a trunk first.
When the ZyWALL hangs up the call, it drops the Data Terminal Ready (DTR) signal and issues the command ATH.

10.12 Virtual Interfaces
Use virtual interfaces to tell the ZyWALL where to route packets. Virtual interfaces can also be used in VPN gateways (see Chapter 21 on page 339) and VRRP groups (see Chapter 35 on page 593).
Virtual interfaces can be created on top of Ethernet interfaces, VLAN interfaces, or bridge interfaces. Virtual VLAN interfaces recognize and use the same VLAN ID. Otherwise, there is no difference between each type of virtual interface. Network policies (for example, firewall rules) that apply to the underlying interface automatically apply to the virtual interface as well.
Like other interfaces, virtual interfaces have an IP address, subnet mask, and gateway used to make routing decisions. However, you have to manually specify the IP address and subnet mask; virtual interfaces cannot be DHCP clients. Like other interfaces, you can restrict bandwidth through virtual interfaces, but you cannot change the MTU. The virtual interface uses the same MTU that the underlying interface uses. Unlike other interfaces, virtual interfaces do not provide DHCP services, and they do not verify that the gateway is available.

10.13 Interface Technical Reference
Here is more detailed information about interfaces on the ZyWALL.
IP Address Assignment
Most interfaces have an IP address and a subnet mask. This information is used to create an entry in the routing table.

Table 67 Example: Routing Table Entries for Interfaces
| IP ADDRESS(ES) | DESTINATION |
| 100.100.1.1/16 | ge1 |
| 200.200.200.1/24 | ge2 |
For example, if the ZyWALL gets a packet with a destination address of 100.100.25.25, it routes the packet to interface ge1. If the ZyWALL gets a packet with a destination address of 200.200.200.200, it routes the packet to interface ge2.
In most interfaces, you can enter the IP address and subnet mask manually. In PPPoE/PPTP interfaces, however, the subnet mask is always 255.255.255.255 because it is a point-to-point interface. For these interfaces, you can only enter the IP address.
In many interfaces, you can also let the IP address and subnet mask be assigned by an external DHCP server on the network. In this case, the interface is a DHCP client. Virtual interfaces, however, cannot be DHCP clients. You have to assign the IP address and subnet mask manually.
In general, the IP address and subnet mask of each interface should not overlap, though it is possible for this to happen with DHCP clients.
In the example above, if the ZyWALL gets a packet with a destination address of 5.5.5.5, it might not find any entries in the routing table. In this case, the packet is dropped. However, if there is a default router to which the ZyWALL should send this packet, you can specify it as a gateway in one of the interfaces. For example,
if there is a default router at 200.200.200.100, you can create a gateway at 200.200.200.100 on ge2. In this case, the ZyWALL creates the following entry in the routing table.
Table 68 Example: Routing Table Entry for a Gateway
| IP ADDRESS(ES) | DESTINATION |
| 0.0.0.0/0 | 200.200.200.100 |
The gateway is an optional setting for each interface. If there is more than one gateway, the ZyWALL uses the gateway with the lowest metric, or cost. If two or more gateways have the same metric, the ZyWALL uses the one that was set up first (the first entry in the routing table). In PPPoE/PPTP interfaces, the other computer is the gateway for the interface by default. In this case, you should specify the metric.
If the interface gets its IP address and subnet mask from a DHCP server, the DHCP server also specifies the gateway, if any.
Interface Parameters
The ZyWALL restricts the amount of traffic into and out of the ZyWALL through each interface.
- Egress bandwidth sets the amount of traffic the ZyWALL sends out through the interface to the network.
- Ingress bandwidth sets the amount of traffic the ZyWALL allows in through the interface from the network. ^1
If you set the bandwidth restrictions very high, you effectively remove the restrictions.
The ZyWALL also restricts the size of each data packet. The maximum number of bytes in each packet is called the maximum transmission unit (MTU). If a packet is larger than the MTU, the ZyWALL divides it into smaller fragments. Each fragment is sent separately, and the original packet is re-assembled later. The smaller the MTU, the more fragments sent, and the more work required to re-assemble packets correctly. On the other hand, some communication channels, such as Ethernet over ATM, might not be able to handle large data packets.
DHCP Settings
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP, RFC 2131, RFC 2132) provides a way to automatically set up and maintain IP addresses, subnet masks, gateways, and some network information (such as the IP addresses of DNS servers) on
computers in the network. This reduces the amount of manual configuration you have to do and usually uses available IP addresses more efficiently.
In DHCP, every network has at least one DHCP server. When a computer (a DHCP client) joins the network, it submits a DHCP request. The DHCP servers get the request; assign an IP address; and provide the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and available network information to the DHCP client. When the DHCP client leaves the network, the DHCP servers can assign its IP address to another DHCP client.
In the ZyWALL, some interfaces can provide DHCP services to the network. In this case, the interface can be a DHCP relay or a DHCP server.
As a DHCP relay, the interface routes DHCP requests to DHCP servers on different networks. You can specify more than one DHCP server. If you do, the interface routes DHCP requests to all of them. It is possible for an interface to be a DHCP relay and a DHCP client simultaneously.
As a DHCP server, the interface provides the following information to DHCP clients.
- IP address - If the DHCP client's MAC address is in the ZyWALL's static DHCP table, the interface assigns the corresponding IP address. If not, the interface assigns IP addresses from a pool, defined by the starting address of the pool and the pool size.
Table 69 Example: Assigning IP Addresses from a Pool
| START IP ADDRESS | POOL SIZE | RANGE OF ASSIGNED IP ADDRESS |
| 50.50.50.33 | 5 | 50.50.50.33 - 50.50.50.37 |
| 75.75.75.1 | 200 | 75.75.75.1 - 75.75.75.200 |
| 99.99.1.1 | 1023 | 99.99.1.1 - 99.99.4.255 |
| 120.120.120.100 | 100 | 120.120.120.100 - 120.120.120.199 |
The ZyWALL cannot assign the first address (network address) or the last address (broadcast address) in the subnet defined by the interface's IP address and subnet mask. For example, in the first entry, if the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, the ZyWALL cannot assign 50.50.50.0 or 50.50.50.255. If the subnet mask is 255.255.0.0, the ZyWALL cannot assign 50.50.0.0 or 50.50.255.255. Otherwise, it can assign every IP address in the range, except the interface's IP address.
If you do not specify the starting address or the pool size, the interface the maximum range of IP addresses allowed by the interface's IP address and subnet mask. For example, if the interface's IP address is 9.9.9.1 and subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, the starting IP address in the pool is 9.9.9.2, and the pool size is 253.
- Subnet mask - The interface provides the same subnet mask you specify for the interface. See IP Address Assignment on page 235.
- Gateway - The interface provides the same gateway you specify for the interface. See IP Address Assignment on page 235.
- DNS servers - The interface provides IP addresses for up to three DNS servers that provide DNS services for DHCP clients. You can specify each IP address manually (for example, a company's own DNS server), or you can refer to DNS servers that other interfaces received from DHCP servers (for example, a DNS server at an ISP). These other interfaces have to be DHCP clients.
It is not possible for an interface to be the DHCP server and a DHCP client simultaneously.
WINS
WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service) is a Windows implementation of NetBIOS Name Server (NBNS) on Windows. It keeps track of NetBIOS computer names. It stores a mapping table of your network's computer names and IP addresses. The table is dynamically updated for IP addresses assigned by DHCP. This helps reduce broadcast traffic since computers can query the server instead of broadcasting a request for a computer name's IP address. In this way WINS is similar to DNS, although WINS does not use a hierarchy (unlike DNS). A network can have more than one WINS server. Samba can also serve as a WINS server.
PPPoE/PPTP Overview
Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE, RFC 2516) and Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP, RFC 2637) are usually used to connect two computers over phone lines or broadband connections. PPPoE is often used with cable modems and DSL connections. It provides the following advantages:
- The access and authentication method works with existing systems, including RADIUS.
- You can access one of several network services. This makes it easier for the service provider to offer the service
- PPPoE does not usually require any special configuration of the modem.
PPTP is used to set up virtual private networks (VPN) in unsecure TCP/IP environments. It sets up two sessions.
1 The first one runs on TCP port 1723. It is used to start and manage the second one.
2 The second one uses Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE, RFC 2890) to transfer information between the computers.
PPTP is convenient and easy-to-use, but you have to make sure that firewalls support both PPTP sessions.
11.1 Overview
Use trunks for WAN traffic load balancing to increase overall network throughput and reliability. Load balancing divides traffic loads between multiple interfaces. This allows you to improve quality of service and maximize bandwidth utilization for multiple ISP links.
Maybe you have two Internet connections with different bandwidths. You could set up a trunk that uses spillover or weighted round robin load balancing so time-sensitive traffic (like video) usually goes through the higher-bandwidth interface. For other traffic, you might want to use least load first load balancing to even out the distribution of the traffic load.
Suppose ISP A has better connections to Europe while ISP B has better connections to Australia. You could use policy routes and trunks to have traffic for your European branch office primarily use ISP A and traffic for your Australian branch office primarily use ISP B.
Or maybe one of the ZyWALL's interfaces is connected to an ISP that is also your Voice over IP (VoIP) service provider. You can use policy routing to send the VoIP traffic through a trunk with the interface connected to the VoIP service provider set to active and another interface (connected to another ISP) set to passive. This way VoIP traffic goes through the interface connected to the VoIP service provider whenever the interface's connection is up.
11.1.1 What You Can Do in the Trunk Screens
- Use the Trunk summary screen (Section 11.2 on page 243) to configure link sticking and view the list of configured trunks and which load balancing algorithm each trunk uses.
- Use the Trunk Edit screen (Section 11.3 on page 245) to configure which interfaces belong to each trunk and the load balancing algorithm each trunk uses.
11.1.2 What You Need to Know About Trunks
- Add WAN interfaces to trunks to have multiple connections share the traffic load.
- If one WAN interface's connection goes down, the ZyWALL sends traffic through another member of the trunk.
- For example, you connect one WAN interface to one ISP and connect a second WAN interface to a second ISP. The ZyWALL balances the WAN traffic load between the connections. If one interface's connection goes down, the ZyWALL can automatically send its traffic through another interface.
You can also use trunks with policy routing to send specific traffic types through the best WAN interface for that type of traffic.
- If that interface's connection goes down, the ZyWALL can still send its traffic through another interface.
- You can define multiple trunks for the same physical interfaces.
Link Sticking
You can have the ZyWALL send each local computer's traffic through a single WAN interface for a specified period of time. This is useful when a redirect server forwards a user request for a file and informs the file server that a particular WAN IP address is requesting the file. If the user's subsequent sessions came from a different WAN IP address, the file server would deny the request. Here is an example.
Figure 148 Link Sticking

ge2 -.->|dashed purple arrow| Internet
1 LAN user A tries to download a file from server B on the Internet. The ZyWALL uses ge2 to send the request to server B.
2 However remote server B is actually a redirect server. So server B sends a file list to LAN user A. The file list lets LAN user A's computer know that the desired file is actually on file server (C). At the same time, register server B informs file server C that a computer located at the ge2's IP address will download a file.
3 The ZyWALL is using active/active load balancing. So when LAN user A tries to retrieve the file from file server C, the request goes out through ge3.
4 File server C finds that the request comes from ge3's IP address instead of ge2's IP address and rejects the request.
5 If link sticking had been configured, the ZyWALL would have still used ge2 to send LAN user A's request to file server C and the file server would have given the file to A.
Load Balancing Algorithms
The following sections describe the load balancing algorithms the ZyWALL can use to decide which interface the traffic (from the LAN) should use for a session ^2 . The available bandwidth you configure on the ZyWALL refers to the actual bandwidth provided by the ISP and the measured bandwidth refers to the bandwidth an interface is currently using.
Least Load First
The least load first algorithm uses the current (or recent) outbound bandwidth utilization of each trunk member interface as the load balancing index(es) when making decisions about to which interface a new session is to be distributed. The outbound bandwidth utilization is defined as the measured outbound throughput over the available outbound bandwidth.
Here the ZyWALL has two WAN interfaces connected to the Internet. The configured available outbound bandwidths for WAN 1 and WAN 2 are 512K and 256K respectively.
Figure 149 Least Load First Example

flowchart
graph LR
A["路由器"] -->|WAN1 512K| B["INTERNET"]
A -->|WAN2 256K| B
The outbound bandwidth utilization is used as the load balancing index. In this example, the measured (current) outbound throughput of WAN 1 is 412K and WAN 2 is 198K. The ZyWALL calculates the load balancing index as shown in the table below.
Since WAN 2 has a smaller load balancing index (meaning that it is less utilized than WAN 1), the ZyWALL will send the subsequent new session traffic through WAN 2.
Table 70 Least Load First Example
| INTERFACE | OUTBOUND | LOAD BALANCING INDEX (M/A) | |
| AVAILABLE (A) | MEASURED (M) | ||
| WAN 1 | 512 K | 412 K | 0.8 |
| WAN 2 | 256 K | 198 K | 0.77 |
Weighted Round Robin
The Weighted Round Robin (WRR) algorithm is best suited for situations when the bandwidths set for the two WAN interfaces are different. Similar to the Round Robin (RR) algorithm (see Section 11.4 on page 246), the Weighted Round Robin (WRR) algorithm sets the ZyWALL to send traffic through each WAN interface in turn. In addition, the WAN interfaces are assigned weights. An interface with a larger weight gets more of the traffic than an interface with a smaller weight.
For example, in the figure below, the configured available bandwidth of ge2 is 1M and ge3 is 512K. You can set the ZyWALL to distribute the network traffic between the two interfaces by setting the weight of ge2 and ge3 to 2 and 1 respectively. The ZyWALL assigns the traffic of two sessions to ge2 for every session's traffic assigned to ge3.

S5 --> S4
S2 -->|WAN1 1M| Internet
S3 -->|WAN2 512K| Internet
Internet -->|WAN1 1M| Internet
Spillover
The spillover load balancing algorithm sends network traffic to the first interface in the trunk member list until the interface's maximum allowable load is reached, then sends the excess network traffic of new sessions to the next interface in the trunk member list. This continues as long as there are more member interfaces and traffic to be sent through them.
Suppose the first trunk member interface uses an unlimited access Internet connection and the second is billed by usage. Spillover load balancing only uses the second interface when the traffic load exceeds the threshold on the first interface. This fully utilizes the bandwidth of the first interface to reduce Internet usage fees and avoid overloading the interface.
In this example figure, the upper threshold of the first interface is set to 800K. The ZyWALL sends network traffic of new sessions that exceed this limit to the secondary WAN interface.

11.4 Trunk Technical Reference
Round Robin Load Balancing Algorithm
Round Robin scheduling services queues on a rotating basis and is activated only when an interface has more traffic than it can handle. A queue is given an amount of bandwidth irrespective of the incoming traffic on that interface. This queue then moves to the back of the list. The next queue is given an equal amount of bandwidth, and then moves to the end of the list; and so on, depending on the
number of queues being used. This works in a looping fashion until a queue is empty.
Policy and Static Routes
12.1 Policy and Static Routes Overview
Use policy routes and static routes to override the ZyWALL's default routing behavior in order to send packets through the appropriate the interface or VPN tunnel.
For example, the next figure shows a computer (A) connected to the ZyWALL's LAN interface. The ZyWALL routes most traffic from A to the Internet through the ZyWALL's default gateway (R1). You create one policy route to connect to services offered by your ISP behind router R2. You create another policy route to communicate with a separate network behind another router (R3) connected to the LAN.

You also use policy routes to send traffic through VPN tunnels. Using the VPN wizard automatically configures a corresponding policy route, but you must manually configure a policy route if you use the main VPN screens to configure a VPN connection.
Note: You can generally just use policy routes. You only need to use static routes if you have a large network with multiple routers where you use RIP or OSPF to propagate routing information to other routers.
12.1.1 What You Can Do in the Policy and Static Route Screens
- Use the Policy Route screens (see Section 12.2 on page 251) to list and configure policy routes.
- Use the Static Route screens (see Section 12.3 on page 257) to list and configure static routes.
12.1.2 What You Need to Know About Policy and Static Routing
Policy Routing
Traditionally, routing is based on the destination address only and the ZyWALL takes the shortest path to forward a packet. IP Policy Routing (IPPR) provides a mechanism to override the default routing behavior and alter the packet forwarding based on the policy defined by the network administrator. Policy-based routing is applied to incoming packets on a per interface basis, prior to the normal routing.
How You Can Use Policy Routing
- Source-Based Routing – Network administrators can use policy-based routing to direct traffic from different users through different connections.
- Bandwidth Shaping – You can allocate bandwidth to traffic that matches routing policies and prioritize traffic (however the application patrol's bandwidth management is more flexible and recommended for TCP and UDP traffic). Use policy routes to manage other types of traffic (like ICMP traffic) and send traffic through VPN tunnels.
Note: Bandwidth management in policy routes has priority over application patrol bandwidth management.
- Cost Savings – IPPR allows organizations to distribute interactive traffic on high-bandwidth, high-cost paths while using low-cost paths for batch traffic.
- Load Sharing – Network administrators can use IPPR to distribute traffic among multiple paths.
- NAT - The ZyWALL performs NAT by default for traffic going to or from the WAN interfaces. A routing policy's SNAT allows network administrators to have traffic received on a specified interface use a specified IP address as the source IP address.
- A NAT loopback policy route lets local users use a domain name to access a virtual server.
When creating a virtual server that local users will use a domain name to access, you can select an option to configure a NAT loopback policy route.
Static Routes
The ZyWALL usually uses the default gateway to route outbound traffic from computers on the LAN to the Internet. To have the ZyWALL send data to devices not reachable through the default gateway, use static routes. Configure static routes if you need to use RIP or OSPF to propagate the routing information to other routers. See Chapter 13 on page 263 for more on RIP and OSPF.
Policy Routes Versus Static Routes
- Policy routes are more flexible than static routes. You can select more criteria for the traffic to match and can also use schedules, NAT, and bandwidth management.
- Policy routes are only used within the ZyWALL itself. Static routes can be propagated to other routers using RIP or OSPF.
- Policy routes take priority over static routes. If you need to use a routing policy on the ZyWALL and propagate it to other routers, you could configure a policy route and an equivalent static route.
Finding Out More
• See Section 5.4.10 on page 108 for related information on the policy route screens.
- See Section 12.4 on page 259 for more background information on policy routing.
- See Section 6.3.3 on page 126 for an example of configuring a policy route for an IPSec VPN tunnel.
12.2 Policy Route Screen
Click Network > Routing to open the Policy Route screen. Use this screen to see the configured policy routes and turn policy routing based bandwidth management on or off.
A policy route defines the matching criteria and the action to take when a packet meets the criteria. The action is taken only when all the criteria are met. The criteria can include the user name, source address and incoming interface, destination address, schedule, IP protocol (ICMP, UDP, TCP, etc.) and port.
The actions that can be taken include:
- Routing the packet to a different gateway, outgoing interface, VPN tunnel, or trunk.
- Limiting the amount of bandwidth available and setting a priority for traffic.
IPPR follows the existing packet filtering facility of RAS in style and in implementation.

| Port Triggering | Configure trigger port forwarding to allow computers on the LAN to dynamically take turns using a service that uses a dedicated range of ports on the client side and a dedicated range of ports on the server side.Note: You need to create a firewall rule to allow an incoming service before using a port triggering rule. |
| # | This is the rule index number. |
| Incoming Service | Select the service that the client computer sends to a remote server.The incoming service should have the same service or protocol type as what you configured in theServicefield. |
| Trigger Service | Select a service that a remote server sends. It causes (triggers) the ZyWALL to forward the traffic (received on theoutgoing interface) to the client computer that requested the service. |
| Add icon | Click theAddicon in the heading row to add a new first entry.Click theAddicon in an entry to add a rule below the current entry.Click theRemoveicon to delete an existing rule from the ZyWALL. A window displays asking you to confirm that you want to delete the rule.In a numbered list, click theMove to Nicon to display a field to type a number for where you want to put that rule and press [ENTER] to move the rule to the number that you typed.The ordering of your rules is important as they are applied in order of their numbering. |
| Bandwidth Shaping | This allows you to allocate bandwidth to a route and prioritize traffic that matches the routing policy.You must also enable bandwidth management in the main policy route screen (Network >Routing >Policy Route) in order to apply bandwidth shaping. |
| Maximum Bandwidth | Specify the maximum bandwidth (from 1 to 1048576) allowed for the route in kbps. If you enter O here, there is no bandwidth limitation for the route.If the sum of the bandwidths for routes using the same next hop is higher than the actual transmission speed, lower priority traffic may not be sent if higher priority traffic uses all of the actual bandwidth.To reserve bandwidth for traffic that does not match any of the policy routes, leave some of the interface's bandwidth unbudgeted and do not enableMaximize Bandwidth Usage. |
| Bandwidth Priority | Enter a number between 1 and 7 to set the priority for traffic. The smaller the number, the higher the priority. If you set the maximum bandwidth to O , the bandwidth priority will be changed to O after you click OK. That means the route has the highest priority and will get all the bandwidth it needs up to the maximum available.A route with higher priority is given bandwidth before a route with lower priority.If you set routes to have the same priority, then bandwidth is divided equally amongst those routes. |
| Maximize Bandwidth Usage | Select this check box to have the ZyWALL divide up all of the interface's unallocated and/or unused bandwidth among the policy routes that require bandwidth. Do not select this if you want to reserve bandwidth for traffic that does not match any of the policy routes. |

12.4 Policy Routing Technical Reference
Here is more detailed information about some of the features you can configure in policy routing.
NAT and SNAT
NAT (Network Address Translation - NAT, RFC 1631) is the translation of the IP address in a packet in one network to a different IP address in another network. Use SNAT (Source NAT) to change the source IP address in one network to a different IP address in another network.
Port Triggering
Some services use a dedicated range of ports on the client side and a dedicated range of ports on the server side. With regular port forwarding, you set the port(s) and IP address to forward a service (coming in from the remote server) to a client computer. The problem is that port forwarding only forwards a service to a single IP address. In order to use the same service on a different computer, you have to manually replace the client computer's IP address with another client computer's IP address.
Port triggering allows the client computer to take turns using a service dynamically. Whenever a client computer's packets match the routing policy, it can use the pre-defined port triggering setting to connect to the remote server without manually configuring a port forwarding rule for each client computer.
Port triggering is used especially when the remote server responses using a different port from the port the client computer used to request a service. The ZyWALL records the IP address of a client computer that sends traffic to a remote server to request a service (incoming service). When the ZyWALL receives a new connection (trigger service) from the remote server, the ZyWALL forwards the traffic to the IP address of the client computer that sent the request.
In the following example, you configure two services for port triggering:
Incoming service: Game (UDP: 1234)
Trigger service: Game-1 (UDP: 5670-5678)
1 Computer A wants to play a multiplayer online game and tries to connect to game server 1 using port 1234. The ZyWALL records the IP address of computer A when the packets match a policy with SNAT configured.
2 Game server 1 responds using a port number ranging between 5670 - 5678. The ZyWALL allows and forwards the traffic to computer A.
3 Computer A and game server 1 are connected to each other until the connection is closed or times out. Any other computers (such as B or C) cannot connect to remote server 1 using the same port triggering rule as computer A unless they are using a different next hop (gateway, outgoing interface, VPN tunnel or trunk) from computer A or until the connection is closed or times out.

Maximize Bandwidth Usage
The maximize bandwidth usage option allows the ZyWALL to divide up any available bandwidth on the interface (including unallocated bandwidth and any allocated bandwidth that a policy route is not using) among the policy routes that require more bandwidth.
When you enable maximize bandwidth usage, the ZyWALL first makes sure that each policy route gets up to its bandwidth allotment. Next, the ZyWALL divides up
an interface's available bandwidth (bandwidth that is unbudgeted or unused by the policy routes) depending on how many policy routes require more bandwidth and on their priority levels. When only one policy route requires more bandwidth, the ZyWALL gives the extra bandwidth to that policy route.
When multiple policy routes require more bandwidth, the ZyWALL gives the highest priority policy routes the available bandwidth first (as much as they require, if there is enough available bandwidth), and then to lower priority policy routes if there is still bandwidth available. The ZyWALL distributes the available bandwidth equally among policy routes with the same priority level.
Routing Protocols
13.1 Routing Protocols Overview
Routing protocols give the ZyWALL routing information about the network from other routers. The ZyWALL stores this routing information in the routing table it uses to make routing decisions. In turn, the ZyWALL can also use routing protocols to propagate routing information to other routers. See Section 5.5 on page 115 for related information on the RIP and OSPF screens.
Routing protocols are usually only used in networks using multiple routers like campuses or large enterprises.
13.1.1 What You Can Do in the RIP and OSPF Screens
- Use the RIP screen (see Section 13.2 on page 264) to configure the ZyWALL to use RIP to receive and/or send routing information.
- Use the OSPF screen (see Section 13.3 on page 265) to configure general OSPF settings and manage OSPF areas.
- Use the OSPF Area Add/Edit screen (see Section 13.3.2 on page 271) to create or edit an OSPF area.
13.1.2 What You Need to Know About Routing Protocols
The ZyWALL supports two standards, RIP and OSPF, for routing protocols. RIP and OSPF are compared here and discussed further in the rest of the chapter.
Table 77 RIP vs. OSPF
| RIP | OSPF | |
| Network Size | Small (with up to 15 routers) | Large |
| Metric | Hop count | Bandwidth, hop count, throughput, round trip time and reliability. |
| Convergence | Slow | Fast |
Finding Out More
See Section 13.4 on page 273 for background information on routing protocols.
13.2 The RIP Screen
RIP (Routing Information Protocol, RFC 1058 and RFC 1389) allows a device to exchange routing information with other routers. RIP is a vector-space routing protocol, and, like most such protocols, it uses hop count to decide which route is the shortest. Unfortunately, it also broadcasts its routes asynchronously to the network and converges slowly. Therefore, RIP is more suitable for small networks (up to 15 routers).
- In the ZyWALL, you can configure two sets of RIP settings before you can use it in an interface.
- First, the Authentication field specifies how to verify that the routing information that is received is the same routing information that is sent. This is discussed in more detail in Authentication Types on page 273.
- Second, the ZyWALL can also redistribute routing information from non-RIP networks, specifically OSPF networks and static routes, to the RIP network. Costs might be calculated differently, however, so you use the Metric field to specify the cost in RIP terms.
- RIP uses UDP port 520.
Use the RIP screen to specify the authentication method and maintain the policies for redistribution.

In practice, 2 or 3 is usually used. |

13.3 The OSPF Screen
OSPF (Open Shortest Path First, RFC 2328) is a link-state protocol designed to distribute routing information within a group of networks, called an Autonomous System (AS). OSPF offers some advantages over vector-space routing protocols like RIP.
- OSPF supports variable-length subnet masks, which can be set up to use available IP addresses more efficiently.
- OSPF filters and summarizes routing information, which reduces the size of routing tables throughout the network.
- OSPF responds to changes in the network, such as the loss of a router, more quickly.
- OSPF considers several factors, including bandwidth, hop count, throughput, round trip time, and reliability, when it calculates the shortest path.
- OSPF converges more quickly than RIP.
Naturally, OSPF is also more complicated than RIP, so OSPF is usually more suitable for large networks.
OSPF uses IP protocol 89.
OSPF Areas
An OSPF Autonomous System (AS) is divided into one or more areas. Each area represents a group of adjacent networks and is identified by a 32-bit ID. In OSPF, this number may be expressed as an integer or as an IP address.
There are several types of areas.
- The backbone is the transit area that routes packets between other areas. All other areas are connected to the backbone.
- A normal area is a group of adjacent networks. A normal area has routing information about the OSPF AS, any networks outside the OSPF AS to which it is directly connected, and any networks outside the OSPF AS that provide routing information to any area in the OSPF AS.
- A stub area has routing information about the OSPF AS. It does not have any routing information about any networks outside the OSPF AS, including networks to which it is directly connected. It relies on a default route to send information outside the OSPF AS.
- A Not So Stubby Area (NSSA, RFC 1587) has routing information about the OSPF AS and networks outside the OSPF AS to which the NSSA is directly connected. It does not have any routing information about other networks outside the OSPF AS.
Each type of area is illustrated in the following figure.
Figure 161 OSPF: Types of Areas

flowchart
graph TD
A["Router 1"] --> B["Router X"]
C["Router 2"] --> D["Router 0"]
E["Router 3"] --> F["Router Y"]
This OSPF AS consists of four areas, areas 0-3. Area 0 is always the backbone. In this example, areas 1, 2, and 3 are all connected to it. Area 1 is a normal area. It has routing information about the OSPF AS and networks X and Y. Area 2 is a stub area. It has routing information about the OSPF AS, but it depends on a default route to send information to networks X and Y. Area 3 is a NSSA. It has routing information about the OSPF AS and network Y but not about network X.
OSPF Routers
Every router in the same area has the same routing information. They do this by exchanging Hello messages to confirm which neighbor (layer-3) devices exist, and then they exchange database descriptions (DDs) to create a synchronized link-state database. The link-state database contains records of router IDs, their associated links and path costs. The link-state database is then constantly updated through Link State Advertisements (LSA). Each router uses the link state database and the Dijkstra algorithm to compute the least cost paths to network destinations.
Like areas, each router has a unique 32-bit ID in the OSPF AS, and there are several types of routers. Each type is really just a different role, and it is possible for one router to play multiple roles at one time.
- An internal router (IR) only exchanges routing information with other routers in the same area.
- An Area Border Router (ABR) connects two or more areas. It is a member of all the areas to which it is connected, and it filters, summarizes, and exchanges routing information between them.
- An Autonomous System Boundary Router (ASBR) exchanges routing information with routers in networks outside the OSPF AS. This is called redistribution in OSPF.
Table 79 OSPF: Redistribution from Other Sources to Each Type of Area
| SOURCE \ TYPE OF AREA | NORMAL | NSSA | STUB |
| Static routes | Yes | Yes | No |
| RIP | Yes | Yes | Yes |
- A backbone router (BR) has at least one interface with area 0. By default, every router in area 0 is a backbone router, and so is every ABR.
Each type of router is illustrated in the following example.

Y["ASBR"] --> Z["Y"]
In order to reduce the amount of traffic between routers, a group of routers that are directly connected to each other selects a designated router (DR) and a backup designated router (BDR). All of the routers only exchange information with the DR and the BDR, instead of exchanging information with all of the other routers in the group. The DR and BDR are selected by priority; if two routers have the same priority, the highest router ID is used.
The DR and BDR are selected in each group of routers that are directly connected to each other. If a router is directly connected to several groups, it might be a DR in one group, a BDR in another group, and neither in a third group all at the same time.
Virtual Links
In some OSPF AS, it is not possible for an area to be directly connected to the backbone. In this case, you can create a virtual link through an intermediate area
to logically connect the area to the backbone. This is illustrated in the following example.
Figure 163 OSPF: Virtual Link

style C fill:#cce5ff,stroke:#333
style D fill:#cce5ff,stroke:#333
In this example, area 100 does not have a direct connection to the backbone. As a result, you should set up a virtual link on both ABR in area 10. The virtual link becomes the connection between area 100 and the backbone.
You cannot create a virtual link to a router in a different area.
OSPF Configuration
Follow these steps when you configure OSPF on the ZyWALL.
1 Enable OSPF.
2 Set up the OSPF areas.
3 Configure the appropriate interfaces. See Section 10.4.1 on page 191.
4 Set up virtual links, as needed.
13.3.1 Configuring the OSPF Screen
Use the first OSPF screen to specify the OSPF router the ZyWALL uses in the OSPF AS and maintain the policies for redistribution. In addition, it provides a summary of OSPF areas, allows you to remove them, and opens the OSPF Add/Edit screen to add or edit them.

13.4 Routing Protocol Technical Reference
Here is more detailed information about RIP and OSPF.
Authentication Types
Authentication is used to guarantee the integrity, but not the confidentiality, of routing updates. The transmitting router uses its key to encrypt the original message into a smaller message, and the smaller message is transmitted with the original message. The receiving router uses its key to encrypt the received message and then verifies that it matches the smaller message sent with it. If the received message is verified, then the receiving router accepts the updated routing information. The transmitting and receiving routers must have the same key.
The ZyWALL supports three types of authentication for RIP and OSPF routing protocols:
- None - no authentication is used.
- Text – authentication using a plain text password, and the (unencrypted) password is sent over the network. This method is usually used temporarily to prevent network problems.
- MD5 – authentication using an MD5 password and authentication ID.
MD5 is an authentication method that produces a 128-bit checksum, called a message-digest, for each packet. It also includes an authentication ID, which can be set to any value between 1 and 255. The ZyWALL only accepts packets if these conditions are satisfied.
- The packet's authentication ID is the same as the authentication ID of the interface that received it.
- The packet's message-digest is the same as the one the ZyWALL calculates using the MD5 password.
For RIP, authentication is not available in RIP version 1. In RIP version 2, you can only select one authentication type for all interfaces. For OSPF, the ZyWALL supports a default authentication type by area. If you want to use this default in an interface or virtual link, you set the associated Authentication Type field to Same as Area. As a result, you only have to update the authentication information for the area to update the authentication type used by these interfaces and virtual links. Alternatively, you can override the default in any interface or virtual link by selecting a specific authentication method. Please see the respective interface sections for more information.
14.1 Zones Overview
Set up zones to configure network security and network policies in the ZyWALL. A zone is a group of interfaces and VPN tunnels. The ZyWALL uses zones, not interfaces, in many security and policy settings, such as firewall rules and remote management.
Zones cannot overlap. Each Ethernet interface, VLAN interface, bridge interface, PPPoE/PPTP interface, auxiliary interface, and VPN tunnel can be assigned to at most one zone. Virtual interfaces are automatically assigned to the same zone as the interface on which they run.

14.1.1 What You Can Do in the Zones Screens
Use the Zone screens (see Section 14.2 on page 277) to view, add, and edit the ZyWALL's zones.
14.1.2 What You Need to Know About Zones
Effects of Zones on Different Types of Traffic
Zones effectively divide traffic into three types--intra-zone traffic, inter-zone traffic, and extra-zone traffic--which are affected differently by zone-based security and policy settings.
Intra-zone Traffic
- Intra-zone traffic is traffic between interfaces or VPN tunnels in the same zone. For example, in Figure 166 on page 275, traffic between VLAN 2 and the Ethernet is intra-zone traffic.
- In each zone, you can either allow or prohibit all intra-zone traffic. For example, in Figure 166 on page 275, you might allow intra-zone traffic in the LAN zone but prohibit it in the WAN zone.
- You can also set up firewall rules to control intra-zone traffic (for example, DMZ-to-DMZ), but many other types of zone-based security and policy settings do not affect intra-zone traffic.
Inter-zone Traffic
Inter-zone traffic is traffic between interfaces or VPN tunnels in different zones. For example, in Figure 166 on page 275, traffic between VLAN 1 and the Internet is inter-zone traffic. This is the normal case when zone-based security and policy settings apply.
Extra-zone Traffic
- Extra-zone traffic is traffic to or from any interface or VPN tunnel that is not assigned to a zone. For example, in Figure 166 on page 275, traffic to or from computer C is extra-zone traffic.
- Some zone-based security and policy settings may apply to extra-zone traffic, especially if you can set the zone attribute in them to Any or All. See the specific feature for more information.

15.1 DDNS Overview
Dynamic DNS (DDNS) services let you use a domain name with a dynamic IP address.
15.1.1 What You Can Do in the DDNS Screens
- Use the DDNS screen (see Section 15.2 on page 280) to view a list of the configured DDNS domain names and their details.
- Use the DDNS Add/Edit screen (see Section 15.2.1 on page 282) to add a domain name to the ZyWALL or to edit the configuration of an existing domain name.
- Use the DDNS Status screen (see Section 15.2 on page 280) to view the status of the ZyWALL's DDNS domain names.
15.1.2 What You Need to Know About DDNS
DNS maps a domain name to a corresponding IP address and vice versa. Similarly, dynamic DNS maps a domain name to a dynamic IP address. As a result, anyone can use the domain name to contact you (in NetMeeting, CU-SeeMe, etc.) or to access your FTP server or Web site, regardless of the current IP address.
Note: You must have a public WAN IP address to use Dynamic DNS.
You must set up a dynamic DNS account with a supported DNS service provider before you can use Dynamic DNS services with the ZyWALL. When registration is complete, the DNS service provider gives you a password or key. At the time of
writing, the ZyWALL supports the following DNS service providers. See the listed websites for details about the DNS services offered by each.
Table 84 Network > DDNS
| DDNS SERVICE PROVIDER | SERVICE TYPES SUPPORTED | WEBSITE | NOTES |
| DynDNS | Dynamic DNS, Static DNS, and Custom DNS | www.dyndns.com | |
| Dynu | Basic, Premium | www.dynu.com | |
| No-IP | No-IP | www.no-ip.com | |
| Peanut Hull | Peanut Hull | www.oray.cn | Chinese website |
Note: Record your DDNS account's user name, password, and domain name to use to configure the ZyWALL.
After, you configure the ZyWALL, it automatically sends updated IP addresses to the DDNS service provider, which helps redirect traffic accordingly.

Virtual Servers
16.1 Virtual Servers Overview
Virtual servers are computers on a private network behind the ZyWALL that you make available outside the private network. If the ZyWALL has only one public IP address, you can make the computers in the private network available by using ports to forward packets to the appropriate private IP address.
Suppose you want to assign ports 21-25 to one FTP, Telnet and SMTP server (A in the example), port 80 to another (B in the example) and assign a default server IP address of 192.168.1.35 to a third (C in the example). You assign the LAN IP addresses and the ISP assigns the WAN IP address. The NAT network appears as a single host on the Internet.

16.3 NAT 1:1 and NAT Loopback Examples
The following sections provide examples of manually configuring NAT 1:1 mapping and a policy route rule for NAT loopback. These are provided for your reference, you can select options in the Virtual Server Add/Edit screen to have the ZyWALL automatically configure these for you instead of configuring them manually.
NAT 1:1 Example
In this example, there is an SMTP mail server in the LAN zone. It has a private IP address of 192.168.1.21. The public IP address for the server is 1.1.1.1 and is on the ge3 interface.
In order for the server to be accessible to people from the Internet (WAN zone), you need to create a 1:1 NAT mapping from the public IP address to the server's private one.
The firewall is enabled, so you also need to create a rule to allow traffic in from the WAN zone.

This section sets up a virtual server rule that changes the destination of SMTP traffic coming to IP address 1.1.1.1 at the ZyWALL's ge3 interface, to the LAN
SMTP server's IP address (192.168.1.21). This is also called Destination NAT (DNAT)

D --> E["INTERNET"]
The ge3 interface has a different IP address than 1.1.1.1, so in order for the ZyWALL gateway to be able to do ARP resolution correctly, you need to create a ge3 virtual server entry. In the Network > Virtual Server screen, click the + symbol and create a new virtual server entry as shown next. This entry maps TCP port 25 (SMTP) traffic coming to IP address 1.1.1.1 on ge3 to the IP address of the SMTP server (192.168.1.21 defined in the LAN_SMTP object). In this example the SMTP server also uses port 25, so the Mapped Port is set to 25. The following sections describe how to manually configure corresponding policy routes for NAT 1:1 mapping and loopback so the options to have the ZyWALL automatically create them are not selected here.

A LAN user computer at IP address 192.168.1.89 queries the domain name (xxx.LAN-SMTP.com in this example) from a public DNS server and gets the SMTP server's 1-1 NAT mapped public IP address of 1.1.1.1.
NAT Loopback Virtual Server
When a LAN user sends SMTP traffic to IP address 1.1.1.1, the traffic comes into the ZyWALL through the LAN interface, thus it does not match the NAT 1:1 mapping's virtual server rule for SMTP traffic coming to IP 1.1.1.1 from WAN2. So you must configure a similar virtual server rule for WAN2.

Click Network > Virtual Server and the + symbol and create the virtual server rule as shown next. This virtual server rule is the same as in NAT 1:1 Virtual Server on page 293, except you use the LAN interface instead of the WAN2 interface. This rule maps TCP port 25 (SMTP) traffic destined for IP address 1.1.1.1 and coming in on WAN2 to the SMTP server (IP address 192.168.1.21). In this example the SMTP server also uses port 25, so the Mapped Port is set to 25.

Without a NAT loopback policy route, the LAN user SMTP traffic goes to the LAN SMTP server with the LAN computer's IP address as the source. The source address is in the same subnet, so the LAN SMTP server replies directly. The return traffic uses the SMTP server's LAN IP address as the source address ^3 . This creates
a triangle route since the source does not match the original destination address (1.1.1.1). The user's computer shuts down the session.

HTTP Redirect
17.1 Overview
HTTP redirect forwards the client's HTTP request (except HTTP traffic destined for the ZyWALL) to a web proxy server. In the following example, proxy server A is connected to the DMZ interface. When a client connected to the LAN zone wants to open a web page, its HTTP request is redirected to proxy server A first. If proxy server A cannot find the web page in its cache, a policy route allows it to access the Internet to get them from a server. Proxy server A then forwards the response to the client.

Use the HTTP Redirect screens (see Section 17.2 on page 303) to display and edit the HTTP redirect rules.
17.1.2 What You Need to Know About HTTP Redirect
Web Proxy Server
A proxy server helps client devices make indirect requests to access the Internet or outside network resources/services. A proxy server can act as a firewall or an ALG (application layer gateway) between the private network and the Internet or other networks. It also keeps hackers from knowing internal IP addresses.
A client connects to a web proxy server each time he/she wants to access the Internet. The web proxy provides caching service to allow quick access and reduce network usage. The proxy checks its local cache for the requested web resource first. If it is not found, the proxy gets it from the specified server and forwards the response to the client.
HTTP Redirect, Firewall and Policy Route
With HTTP redirect, the relevant packet flow for HTTP traffic is:
1 Firewall
2 Application Patrol
3 HTTP Redirect
4 Policy Route
Even if you set a policy route to the same incoming interface and service as a HTTP redirect rule, the ZyWALL checks the HTTP redirect rules first and forwards HTTP traffic to a proxy server if matched. You need to make sure there is no firewall rule(s) blocking the HTTP requests from the client to the proxy server.
You also need to manually configure a policy route to forward the HTTP traffic from the proxy server to the Internet. To make the example in Figure 189 on page 301 work, make sure you have the following settings.
For HTTP traffic between ge1 and ge4:
- a from LAN to WAN through-ZyWALL rule (default) to allow HTTP request from ge1 to ge4. Responses to this request are allowed automatically.
- a application patrol rule to allow HTTP traffic between ge1 and ge4.
- a HTTP redirect rule to forward HTTP traffic from ge1 to proxy server A.
For HTTP traffic between ge4 and ge2:
- a from DMZ to WAN through-ZyWALL rule (default) to allow HTTP request from ge4 to ge2. Responses to this request are allowed automatically.
- a application patrol rule to allow HTTP traffic between ge4 and ge2.
- a policy route to forward HTTP traffic from proxy server A to the Internet.

18.1 ALG Overview
Application Layer Gateway (ALG) allows the following applications to operate properly through the ZyWALL's NAT.
- FTP - File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is an Internet file transfer service.
- SIP - Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is an application-layer protocol that can be used to create voice and multimedia sessions over Internet.
- H.323 - This is a teleconferencing protocol suite that provides audio, data and video conferencing.
The following example shows SIP signaling (1) and audio (2) sessions between SIP clients A and B and the SIP server.

The ZyWALL only needs to use the ALG feature for traffic that goes through the ZyWALL's NAT.
18.1.1 What You Can Do in the ALG Screen
Use the ALG screen (Section 18.2 on page 308) to set up SIP, H.323, and FTP ALG settings.
18.1.2 What You Need to Know About ALG
Application Layer Gateway (ALG), NAT and Firewall
The ZyWALL can function as an Application Layer Gateway (ALG) to allow certain NAT un-friendly applications (such as SIP) to operate properly through the ZyWALL's NAT and firewall. The ZyWALL dynamically creates an implicit NAT session and firewall session for the application's traffic from the WAN to the LAN. The ALG on the ZyWALL supports all of the ZyWALL's NAT mapping types.
FTP ALG
The FTP ALG allows TCP packets with a specified port destination to pass through. If the FTP server is located on the LAN, you must also configure NAT port forwarding and firewall rules if you want to allow access to the server from the WAN.
H.323 ALG
• The H.323 ALG supports peer-to-peer H.323 calls.
- The H.323 ALG handles H.323 calls that go through NAT or that the ZyWALL routes. You can also make other H.323 calls that do not go through NAT or routing. Examples would be calls between LAN IP addresses that are on the same subnet.
- The H.323 ALG allows calls to go out through NAT. For example, you could make a call from a private IP address on the LAN to a peer device on the WAN.
- The H.323 ALG operates on TCP packets with a specified port destination.
- The ZyWALL allows H.323 audio connections.
- The ZyWALL can also apply bandwidth management to traffic that goes through the H.323 ALG.
The following example shows H.323 signaling (1) and audio (2) sessions between H.323 devices A and B.

SIP ALG
- SIP clients can be connected to the LAN or DMZ. A SIP server must be on the WAN.
- Using the SIP ALG allows you to use bandwidth management on SIP traffic.
- The SIP ALG handles SIP calls that go through NAT or that the ZyWALL routes. You can also make other SIP calls that do not go through NAT or routing. Examples would be calls between LAN IP addresses that are on the same subnet.
- The SIP ALG supports peer-to-peer SIP calls. The firewall (by default) allows peer to peer calls from the LAN zone to go to the WAN zone and blocks peer to peer calls from the WAN zone to the LAN zone.
- The SIP ALG allows UDP packets with a specified port destination to pass through.
- The ZyWALL allows SIP audio connections.
- You do not need to use STUN (Simple Traversal of User Datagram Protocol (UDP) through Network Address Translators) for VoIP devices behind the ZyWALL when you enable the SIP ALG.
Peer-to-Peer Calls and the ZyWALL
The ZyWALL ALG can allow peer-to-peer VoIP calls for both H.323 and SIP. You must configure the firewall and virtual server (port forwarding) to allow incoming (peer-to-peer) calls from the WAN to a private IP address on the LAN (or DMZ).
VoIP Calls from the WAN with Multiple Outgoing Calls
When you configure the firewall and virtual server (port forwarding) to allow calls from the WAN to a specific IP address on the LAN, you can also use policy routing to have H.323 (or SIP) calls from other LAN or DMZ IP addresses go out through a different WAN IP address. The policy routing lets the ZyWALL correctly forward the return traffic for the calls initiated from the LAN IP addresses.
For example, you configure the firewall and virtual server to allow LAN IP address A to receive calls from the Internet through WAN IP address 1. You also use a policy route to have LAN IP address A make calls out through WAN IP address 1. Configure another policy route to have H.323 (or SIP) calls from LAN IP addresses B and C go out through WAN IP address 2. Even though only LAN IP address A can receive incoming calls from the Internet, LAN IP addresses B and C can still make calls out to the Internet.

VoIP with Multiple WAN IP Addresses
With multiple WAN IP addresses on the ZyWALL, you can configure different firewall and virtual server (port forwarding) rules to allow incoming calls from each WAN IP address to go to a specific IP address on the LAN (or DMZ). Use policy routing to have the H.323 (or SIP) calls from each of those LAN or DMZ IP addresses go out through the same WAN IP address that calls come in on. The policy routing lets the ZyWALL correctly forward the return traffic for the calls initiated from the LAN IP addresses.
For example, you configure firewall and virtual server rules to allow LAN IP address A to receive calls through public WAN IP address 1. You configure different firewall and port forwarding rules to allow LAN IP address B to receive calls through public WAN IP address 2. You configure corresponding policy routes to have calls from LAN IP address A go out through WAN IP address 1 and calls from LAN IP address B go out through WAN IP address 2.

18.3 ALG Technical Reference
Here is more detailed information about the Application Layer Gateway.
ALG
Some applications cannot operate through NAT (are NAT un-friendly) because they embed IP addresses and port numbers in their packets' data payload. The ZyWALL examines and uses IP address and port number information embedded in the VoIP traffic's data stream. When a device behind the ZyWALL uses an application for which the ZyWALL has VoIP pass through enabled, the ZyWALL translates the device's private IP address inside the data stream to a public IP address. It also records session port numbers and allows the related sessions to go through the firewall so the application's traffic can come in from the WAN to the LAN.
ALG and Trunks
If you send your ALG-managed traffic through an interface trunk and all of the interfaces are set to active, you can configure routing policies to specify which interface the ALG-managed traffic uses.
You could also have a trunk with one interface set to active and a second interface set to passive. The ZyWALL does not automatically change ALG-managed connections to the second (passive) interface when the active interface's connection goes down. When the active interface's connection fails, the client needs to re-initialize the connection through the second interface (that was set to passive) in order to have the connection go through the second interface. VoIP clients usually re-register automatically at set intervals or the users can manually force them to re-register.
FTP
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is an Internet file transfer service that operates on the Internet and over TCP/IP networks. A system running the FTP server accepts commands from a system running an FTP client. The service allows users to send commands to the server for uploading and downloading files.
H.323
H.323 is a standard teleconferencing protocol suite that provides audio, data and video conferencing. It allows for real-time point-to-point and multipoint communication between client computers over a packet-based network that does not provide a guaranteed quality of service. NetMeeting uses H.323.
SIP
The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is an application-layer control (signaling) protocol that handles the setting up, altering and tearing down of voice and
multimedia sessions over the Internet. SIP is used in VoIP (Voice over IP), the sending of voice signals over the Internet Protocol.
SIP signaling is separate from the media for which it handles sessions. The media that is exchanged during the session can use a different path from that of the signaling. SIP handles telephone calls and can interface with traditional circuit-switched telephone networks.
RTP
When you make a VoIP call using H.323 or SIP, the RTP (Real time Transport Protocol) is used to handle voice data transfer. See RFC 1889 for details on RTP.
IP/MAC Binding
19.1 IP/MAC Binding Overview
IP address to MAC address binding helps ensure that only the intended devices get to use privileged IP addresses. The ZyWALL uses DHCP to assign IP addresses and records to MAC address it assigned each IP address. The ZyWALL then checks incoming connection attempts against this list. A user cannot manually assign another IP to his computer and use it to connect to the ZyWALL.
Suppose you configure access privileges for IP address 192.168.1.27 and use static DHCP to assign it to Tim's computer's MAC address of 12:34:56:78:90:AB. IP/MAC binding drops traffic from any computer trying to use IP address 192.168.1.27 with another MAC address.

19.1.1 What You Can Do in the IP/MAC Binding Screens
- Use the Summary and Edit screens (Section 19.2 on page 314) to bind IP addresses to MAC addresses.
- Use the Exempt List screen (Section 19.3 on page 317) to configure ranges of IP addresses to which the ZyWALL does not apply IP/MAC binding.
- The Monitor screen (Section 19.4 on page 317) lists the devices that have received an IP address from ZyWALL interfaces with IP/MAC binding enabled.
19.1.2 What You Need to Know About IP/MAC Binding
DHCP
IP/MAC address bindings are based on the ZyWALL's dynamic and static DHCP entries.
Interfaces Used With IP/MAC Binding
IP/MAC address bindings are grouped by interface. You can use IP/MAC binding with Ethernet, bridge, VLAN, and WLAN interfaces. You can also enable or disable IP/MAC binding and logging in an interface's configuration screen.

PART III Firewall
Firewall (321)
20.1 Overview
Use the firewall to block or allow services that use static port numbers. Use application patrol (see Chapter 28 on page 445) to control services using flexible/dynamic port numbers.
This figure shows the ZyWALL's default firewall rules in action and demonstrates how stateful inspection works. User 1 can initiate a Telnet session from within the LAN zone and responses to this request are allowed. However, other Telnet traffic initiated from the WAN or DMZ zone and destined for the LAN zone is blocked. Communications between the WAN and the DMZ zones are allowed. The firewall allows VPN traffic between any of the networks.

20.1.1 What You Can Do in the Firewall Screens
- Use the Firewall screen (Section 20.2 on page 328) to enable or disable the firewall and asymmetrical routes, set a maximum number of sessions per host, and display the configured firewall rules.
- Use the Session Limit screens (see Section 20.3 on page 334) to limit the number of concurrent NAT/firewall sessions a client can use.
20.1.2 What You Need to Know About the Firewall
Stateful Inspection
The ZyWALL has a stateful inspection firewall. The ZyWALL restricts access by screening data packets against defined access rules. It also inspects sessions. For example, traffic from one zone is not allowed unless it is initiated by a computer in another zone first.
Zones
A zone is a group of interfaces or VPN tunnels. Group the ZyWALL's interfaces into different zones based on your needs. You can configure firewall rules for data passing between zones or even between interfaces and/or VPN tunnels in a zone.
Default Firewall Behavior
Firewall rules are grouped based on the direction of travel of packets to which they apply. Here are the default firewall behavior for traffic going through the ZyWALL.
Table 98 Default Firewall Rules
| FROM ZONE TO ZONE | STATEFUL PACKET INSPECTION |
| From ANY to ANY | Traffic that does not match any firewall rule is allowed. This includes traffic to or from interfaces or VPN tunnels that are not assigned to any zone (extra-zone traffic). |
| From WAN to LAN | Traffic from the WAN to the LAN is denied. |
| From WAN to ZyWALL | Traffic from the WAN to the ZyWALL itself is denied except for the traffic types described in To-ZyWALL Rules on page 322. |
| From DMZ to LAN | Traffic from the DMZ to the LAN is denied. |
| From DMZ to ZyWALL | Traffic from the DMZ to the ZyWALL itself is denied except for the traffic types described in To-ZyWALL Rules on page 322. |
To-ZyWALL Rules
Rules with ZyWALL as the To Zone apply to traffic going to the ZyWALL itself. By default:
- The firewall allows only LAN computers to access or manage the ZyWALL.
- The ZyWALL drops most packets from the WAN zone to the ZyWALL itself, except for VRRP traffic for Device HA and ESP/AH/IKE/NATT/HTTPS services for VPN tunnels, and generates a log.
- The ZyWALL drops most packets from the DMZ zone to the ZyWALL itself, except for DNS and NetBIOS traffic, and generates a log.
When you configure a firewall rule for packets destined for the ZyWALL itself, make sure it does not conflict with your service control rule. See Chapter 45 on page 697 for more information about service control (remote management). The ZyWALL checks the firewall rules before the service control rules for traffic destined for the ZyWALL.
You can configure a To-ZyWALL firewall rule (with From Any To ZyWALL direction) for traffic from an interface which is not in a zone.
Global Firewall Rules
Firewall rules with from any and/or to any as the packet direction are called global firewall rules. The global firewall rules are the only firewall rules that apply to an interface or VPN tunnel that is not included in a zone. The from any rules apply to traffic coming from the interface and the to any rules apply to traffic going to the interface.
Firewall Rule Criteria
The ZyWALL checks the schedule, user name (user's login name on the ZyWALL), source IP address, destination IP address and IP protocol type of network traffic against the firewall rules (in the order you list them). When the traffic matches a rule, the ZyWALL takes the action specified in the rule.
User Specific Firewall Rules
You can specify users or user groups in firewall rules. For example, to allow a specific user from any computer to access a zone by logging in to the ZyWALL, you can set up a rule based on the user name only. If you also apply a schedule to the firewall rule, the user can only access the network at the scheduled time. A user-aware firewall rule is activated whenever the user logs in to the ZyWALL and will be disabled after the user logs out of the ZyWALL.
Firewall and Application Patrol
To use a service, make sure both the firewall and application patrol allow the service's packets to go through the ZyWALL. The ZyWALL checks the firewall rules before the application patrol rules for traffic going through the ZyWALL.
Firewall and VPN Traffic
After you create a VPN tunnel and add it to a zone, you can set the firewall rules applied to VPN traffic. If you add a VPN tunnel to an existing zone (the LAN zone for example), you can configure a new LAN to LAN firewall rule or use intra-zone
traffic blocking to allow or block VPN traffic transmitting between the VPN tunnel and other interfaces in the LAN zone. If you add the VPN tunnel to a new zone (the VPN zone for example), you can configure rules for VPN traffic between the VPN zone and other zones or From VPN To-ZyWALL rules for VPN traffic destined for the ZyWALL.
Finding Out More
- See Section 5.4.12 on page 110 for related information on the Firewall screens.
- See Section 6.4.6 on page 134 for an example of creating firewall rules as part of configuring user-aware access control (Section 6.4 on page 128).
- See Section 6.6.3 on page 140 for an example of creating a firewall rule to allow H.323 traffic from the WAN to the LAN.
20.1.3 Firewall Rule Example Applications
Suppose that your company decides to block all of the LAN users from using IRC (Internet Relay Chat) through the Internet. To do this, you would configure a LAN to WAN firewall rule that blocks IRC traffic from any source IP address from going to any destination address. You do not need to specify a schedule since you need the firewall rule to always be in effect. The following figure shows the results of this rule.
Figure 204 Blocking All LAN to WAN IRC Traffic Example

D --> H["LAN"]
E --> I["LAN"]
F --> J["WAN"]
G --> J
H --> J
I --> J
J --> K["IRC"]

Your firewall would have the following configuration.
Table 99 Blocking All LAN to WAN IRC Traffic Example
| # | USER | SOURCE | DESTINATION | SCHEDULE | SERVICE | ACTION |
| 1 | Any | Any | Any | Any | IRC | Deny |
| Default | Any | Any | Any | Any | Any | Allow |
- The first row blocks LAN access to the IRC service on the WAN.
- The second row is the firewall's default policy that allows all traffic from the LAN to go to the WAN.
The ZyWALL applies the firewall rules in order. So for this example, when the ZyWALL receives traffic from LAN, it checks it against the first rule. If the traffic matches (if it is IRC traffic) the firewall takes the action in the rule (drop) and stops checking the firewall rules. Any traffic that does not match the first firewall rule will match the default rule and the ZyWALL forwards it.
Now suppose that your company wants to let the CEO use IRC. You can configure a LAN to WAN firewall rule that allows IRC traffic from the IP address of the CEO's computer. You can also configure a LAN to WAN rule that allows IRC traffic from any computer through which the CEO logs into the ZyWALL with his/her user name. In order to make sure that the CEO's computer always uses the same IP address, make sure it either:
- Has a static IP address,
or
- You configure a static DHCP entry for it so the ZyWALL always assigns it the same IP address (see DHCP Settings on page 236 for information on DHCP).
Now you configure a LAN to WAN firewall rule that allows IRC traffic from the IP address of the CEO's computer (192.168.1.7 for example) to go to any destination address. You do not need to specify a schedule since you want the firewall rule to always be in effect. The following figure shows the results of your two custom rules.

Your firewall would have the following configuration.

| # | USER | SOURCE | DESTINATION | SCHEDULE | SERVICE | ACTION |
| 1 | Any | 192.168.1.7 | Any | Any | IRC | Allow |
| 2 | Any | Any | Any | Any | IRC | Deny |
| Default | Any | Any | Any | Any | Any | Allow |
- The first row allows the LAN computer at IP address 192.168.1.7 to access the IRC service on the WAN.
- The second row blocks LAN access to the IRC service on the WAN.
- The third row is (still) the firewall's default policy of allowing all traffic from the LAN to go to the WAN.
Alternatively, you configure a LAN to WAN rule with the CEO's user name (say CEO) to allow IRC traffic from any source IP address to go to any destination address.
Your firewall would have the following configuration.
Table 101 Limited LAN to WAN IRC Traffic Example 2
| # | USER | SOURCE | DESTINATION | SCHEDULE | SERVICE | ACTION |
| 1 | CEO | Any | Any | Any | IRC | Allow |
| 2 | Any | Any | Any | Any | IRC | Deny |
| Default | Any | Any | Any | Any | Any | Allow |
- The first row allows any LAN computer to access the IRC service on the WAN by logging into the ZyWALL with the CEO's user name.
- The second row blocks LAN access to the IRC service on the WAN.
- The third row is (still) the firewall's default policy of allowing all traffic from the LAN to go to the WAN.
The rule for the CEO must come before the rule that blocks all LAN to WAN IRC traffic. If the rule that blocks all LAN to WAN IRC traffic came first, the CEO's IRC traffic would match that rule and the ZyWALL would drop it and not check any other firewall rules.
20.1.4 Firewall Rule Configuration Example

Asymmetrical Routes
If an alternate gateway on the LAN has an IP address in the same subnet as the ZyWALL's LAN IP address, return traffic may not go through the ZyWALL. This is called an asymmetrical or "triangle" route. This causes the ZyWALL to reset the connection, as the connection has not been acknowledged.
You can have the ZyWALL permit the use of asymmetrical route topology on the network (not reset the connection). However, allowing asymmetrical routes may let traffic from the WAN go directly to the LAN without passing through the ZyWALL. A better solution is to use virtual interfaces to put the ZyWALL and the backup gateway on separate subnets. Virtual interfaces allow you to partition your network into logical sections over the same interface. See the chapter about interfaces for more information.
By putting LAN 1 and the alternate gateway (A in the figure) in different subnets, all returning network traffic must pass through the ZyWALL to the LAN. The following steps and figure describe such a scenario.
1 A computer on the LAN initiates a connection by sending a SYN packet to a receiving server on the WAN.
2 The ZyWALL reroutes the packet to gateway A, which is in Subnet 2.
3 The reply from the WAN goes to the ZyWALL.
4 The ZyWALL then sends it to the computer on the LAN in Subnet 1.

20.2.1 Configuring the Firewall Screen
Click Firewall to open the Firewall screen. Use this screen to enable or disable the firewall and asymmetrical routes, set a maximum number of sessions per host, and display the configured firewall rules. Specify from which zone packets come and to which zone packets travel to display only the rules specific to the selected direction. Note the following.
- If you enable intra-zone traffic blocking (see the chapter about zones), the firewall automatically creates (implicit) rules to deny packet passage between the interfaces in the specified zone.
- Besides configuring the firewall, you also need to configure virtual servers (NAT port forwarding) to allow computers on the WAN to access LAN devices. See Chapter 16 on page 287 for more information.
- The ZyWALL applies virtual server (Destination NAT) settings before applying the firewall rules. So for example, if you configure a virtual server that sends WAN traffic to a LAN IP address, when you configure a corresponding firewall rule to allow the traffic, you need to set the LAN IP address as the destination. See Section 6.6 on page 138 for an example.
- The ordering of your rules is very important as rules are applied in sequence.

21.1 IPSec VPN Overview
A virtual private network (VPN) provides secure communications between sites without the expense of leased site-to-site lines. A secure VPN is a combination of tunneling, encryption, authentication, access control and auditing. It is used to transport traffic over the Internet or any insecure network that uses TCP/IP for communication.
Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) is a standards-based VPN that offers flexible solutions for secure data communications across a public network like the Internet. IPSec is built around a number of standardized cryptographic techniques to provide confidentiality, data integrity and authentication at the IP layer. The following figure is an example of an IPSec VPN tunnel.

The VPN tunnel connects the ZyWALL (X) and the remote (peer) IPSec router (Y). These routers then connect the local network (A) and remote network (B).
21.1.1 What You Can Do in the IPSec VPN Screens
- Use the VPN Connection screens (see Section 21.2 on page 341) to specify which VPN gateway a VPN connection policy uses and which devices (behind the IPSec routers) can use the VPN tunnel and the IPSec SA settings (phase 2 settings). You can also activate / deactivate and connect / disconnect each VPN connection (each IPSec SA).
- Use the VPN Gateway screens (see Section 21.2.1 on page 343) to manage the ZyWALL's VPN gateways. A VPN gateway specifies the IPSec routers at either end of a VPN tunnel and the IKE SA settings (phase 1 settings). You can also activate and deactivate each VPN gateway.
- Use the VPN Concentrator screens (see Section 21.4 on page 363) to combine several IPSec VPN connections into a single secure network.
- Use the SA Monitor screen (see Section 21.5 on page 366) to display and manage the active IPSec SAs.
21.1.2 What You Need to Know About IPSec VPN
An IPSec VPN tunnel is usually established in two phases. Each phase establishes a security association (SA), a contract indicating what security parameters the ZyWALL and the remote IPSec router will use. The first phase establishes an Internet Key Exchange (IKE) SA between the ZyWALL and remote IPSec router. The second phase uses the IKE SA to securely establish an IPSec SA through which the ZyWALL and remote IPSec router can send data between computers on the local network and remote network. This is illustrated in the following figure.

In this example, a computer in network A is exchanging data with a computer in network B. Inside networks A and B, the data is transmitted the same way data is normally transmitted in the networks. Between routers X and Y, the data is protected by tunneling, encryption, authentication, and other security features of the IPSec SA. The IPSec SA is secure because routers X and Y established the IKE SA first.
Dynamic IPSec VPN Rules
A dynamic IPSec VPN rule does not specify the remote IPSec router's IP address or domain name. So a remote IPSec router with a dynamic IP address can initiate a VPN tunnel to the ZyWALL. Only the remote IPSec router can initiate a dynamic VPN tunnel.
Finding Out More
• See Section 5.4.4 on page 107 for related information on these screens.
• See Section 21.6 on page 367 for IPSec VPN background information.
• See Section 6.3 on page 124 for an example of configuring IPSec VPN.
21.1.3 Before You Begin
This section briefly explains the relationship between VPN tunnels and other features. It also gives some basic suggestions for troubleshooting.
You should set up the following features before you set up the VPN tunnel.
- In any VPN connection, you have to select address objects to specify the local policy and remote policy. You should set up the address objects first.
- In a VPN gateway, you can select an Ethernet interface, virtual Ethernet interface, VLAN interface, or virtual VLAN interface to specify what address the ZyWALL uses as its IP address when it establishes the IKE SA. You should set up the interface first. See Chapter 10 on page 181.
- In a VPN gateway, you can enable extended authentication. If the ZyWALL is in server mode, you should set up the authentication method (AAA server) first. The authentication method specifies how the ZyWALL authenticates the remote IPSec router. See Chapter 40 on page 647.
- In a VPN gateway, the ZyWALL and remote IPSec router can use certificates to authenticate each other. Make sure the ZyWALL and the remote IPSec router will trust each other's certificates. See Chapter 42 on page 663.
21.2 The VPN Connection Screen
The VPN Connection screen lists the VPN connection policies and their associated VPN gateway(s), and various settings. In addition, it also lets you activate / deactivate and connect / disconnect each VPN connection (each IPSec SA).
To access this screen, click VPN > IPSec VPN. The following screen appears.
Note: Except for dynamic IPSec VPN rules, each VPN connection requires a corresponding policy route.
Dynamic IPSec VPN rules only require a corresponding policy route if you select Use Policy Route to control dynamic IPSec rules.
The VPN wizard automatically creates a corresponding policy route. If you create the VPN connection in the VPN > IPSec VPN screens, you need to manually create a corresponding policy route.

Both routers must use the same DH key group. |
| NAT Traversal | Select this if any of these conditions are satisfied.This IKE SA might be used to negotiate IPSec SA that use active protocol AH.There are one or more NAT routers between the ZyWALL and remote IPSec router, and these routers do not support IPSec pass-thru or a similar feature.The remote IPSec router must also enable NAT traversal, and the NAT routers have to forward packets with UDP port 500 and UDP 4500 headers unchanged. |
| Dead Peer Detection (DPD) | Select this check box if you want the ZyWALL to make sure the remote IPSec router is there before it transmits data through the IKE SA. If there has been no traffic for at least 15 seconds, the ZyWALL sends a message to the remote IPSec server. If the remote IPSec server responds, the ZyWALL transmits the data. If the remote IPSec server does not respond, the ZyWALL shuts down the IKE SA. |
| More Settings/Less Settings | Click this button to show or hide the Extended Authentication fields. |
| Extended Authentication | When multiple IPSec routers use the same VPN tunnel to connect to a single VPN tunnel (telecommuters sharing a tunnel for example), use extended authentication to enforce a user name and password check. This way even though they all know the VPN tunnel's security settings, each still has to provide a unique user name and password. |
| Enable Extended Authentication | Select this if one of the routers (the ZyWALL or the remote IPSec router) verifies a user name and password from the other router using the local user database and/or an external server. |
| Server Mode | Select this if the ZyWALL authenticates the user name and password from the remote IPSec router. You also have to select the authentication method, which specifies how the ZyWALL authenticates this information. |

In a fully-meshed VPN topology (1 in the figure), there is a VPN connection between every pair of routers. In a hub-and-spoke VPN topology (2 in the figure), there is a VPN connection between each spoke router (B, C, D, and E) and the hub router (A), which uses the VPN concentrator. The VPN concentrator routes VPN traffic between the spoke routers and itself.
A VPN concentrator reduces the number of VPN connections that you have to set up and maintain in the network. You might also be able to consolidate the policy routes in each spoke router, depending on the IP addresses and subnets of each spoke.
However a VPN concentrator is not for every situation. The hub router is a single failure point, so a VPN concentrator is not as appropriate if the connection between spoke routers cannot be down occasionally (maintenance, for example). There is also more burden on the hub router. It receives VPN traffic from one spoke, decrypts it, inspects it to find out to which spoke to route it, encrypts it, and sends it to the appropriate spoke. Therefore, a VPN concentrator is more suitable when there is a minimum amount of traffic between spoke routers.

21.6 IPSec VPN Background Information
Here is some more detailed IPSec VPN background information.
IKE SA Overview
The IKE SA provides a secure connection between the ZyWALL and remote IPSec router.
It takes several steps to establish an IKE SA. The negotiation mode determines how many. There are two negotiation modes--main mode and aggressive mode. Main mode provides better security, while aggressive mode is faster.
Note: Both routers must use the same negotiation mode.
These modes are discussed in more detail in Negotiation Mode on page 371. Main mode is used in various examples in the rest of this section.
IP Addresses of the ZyWALL and Remote IPSec Router
To set up an IKE SA, you have to specify the IP addresses of the ZyWALL and remote IPSec router. You can usually enter a static IP address or a domain name for either or both IP addresses. Sometimes, your ZyWALL might offer another alternative, such as using the IP address of a port or interface, as well.
You can also specify the IP address of the remote IPSec router as 0.0.0.0. This means that the remote IPSec router can have any IP address. In this case, only the remote IPSec router can initiate an IKE SA because the ZyWALL does not
know the IP address of the remote IPSec router. This is often used for telecommuters.
IKE SA Proposal
The IKE SA proposal is used to identify the encryption algorithm, authentication algorithm, and Diffie-Hellman (DH) key group that the ZyWALL and remote IPSec router use in the IKE SA. In main mode, this is done in steps 1 and 2, as illustrated next.
Figure 228 IKE SA: Main Negotiation Mode, Steps 1 - 2: IKE SA Proposal
One or more proposals, each one consisting of:
- encryption algorithm
- authentication algorithm
- Diffie-Hellman key group

flowchart
graph LR
X["Device X"] -->|1| Y["Device Y"]
Y -->|2| X
The ZyWALL sends one or more proposals to the remote IPSec router. (In some devices, you can only set up one proposal.) Each proposal consists of an encryption algorithm, authentication algorithm, and DH key group that the ZyWALL wants to use in the IKE SA. The remote IPSec router selects an acceptable proposal and sends the accepted proposal back to the ZyWALL. If the remote IPSec router rejects all of the proposals, the ZyWALL and remote IPSec router cannot establish an IKE SA.
Note: Both routers must use the same encryption algorithm, authentication algorithm, and DH key group.
In most ZyWALLs, you can select one of the following encryption algorithms for each proposal. The algorithms are listed in order from weakest to strongest.
- Data Encryption Standard (DES) is a widely used method of data encryption. It applies a 56-bit key to each 64-bit block of data.
- Triple DES (3DES) is a variant of DES. It iterates three times with three separate keys, effectively tripling the strength of DES.
- Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a newer method of data encryption that also uses a secret key. AES applies a 128-bit key to 128-bit blocks of data. It is faster than 3DES.
Some ZyWALLs also offer stronger forms of AES that apply 192-bit or 256-bit keys to 128-bit blocks of data.
In most ZyWALLs, you can select one of the following authentication algorithms for each proposal. The algorithms are listed in order from weakest to strongest.
- MD5 (Message Digest 5) produces a 128-bit digest to authenticate packet data.
- SHA1 (Secure Hash Algorithm) produces a 160-bit digest to authenticate packet data.
See Diffie-Hellman (DH) Key Exchange on page 369 for more information about DH key groups.
Diffie-Hellman (DH) Key Exchange
The ZyWALL and the remote IPSec router use DH public-key cryptography to establish a shared secret. The shared secret is then used to generate encryption keys for the IKE SA and IPSec SA. In main mode, this is done in steps 3 and 4, as illustrated next.
Figure 229 IKE SA: Main Negotiation Mode, Steps 3 - 4: DH Key Exchange
Diffie-Hellman key exchange

flowchart
graph LR
X["设备X"] -->|3| Y["设备Y"]
Y -->|4| X
DH public-key cryptography is based on DH key groups. Each key group is a fixed number of bits long. The longer the key, the more secure the encryption, but also the longer it takes to encrypt and decrypt information. For example, DH2 keys (1024 bits) are more secure than DH1 keys (768 bits), but DH2 keys take longer to encrypt and decrypt.
Authentication
Before the ZyWALL and remote IPSec router establish an IKE SA, they have to verify each other's identity. This process is based on pre-shared keys and router identities.
In main mode, the ZyWALL and remote IPSec router authenticate each other in steps 5 and 6, as illustrated below. The identities are also encrypted using the
encryption algorithm and encryption key the ZyWALL and remote IPSec router selected in previous steps.

Step 6: pre-shared key Remote IPSec router identity, consisting of - ID type - content| B["Device Y"]
B -->|Step 6: pre-shared key ZyWALL identity, consisting of - ID type - content| A
You have to create (and distribute) a pre-shared key. The ZyWALL and remote IPSec router use it in the authentication process, though it is not actually transmitted or exchanged.
Note: The ZyWALL and the remote IPSec router must use the same pre-shared key.
Router identity consists of ID type and content. The ID type can be domain name, IP address, or e-mail address, and the content is a (properly-formatted) domain name, IP address, or e-mail address. The content is only used for identification. Any domain name or e-mail address that you enter does not have to actually exist. Similarly, any domain name or IP address that you enter does not have to correspond to the ZyWALL's or remote IPSec router's properties.
The ZyWALL and the remote IPSec router have their own identities, so both of them must store two sets of information, one for themselves and one for the other router. Local ID type and content refers to the ID type and content that applies to the router itself, and peer ID type and content refers to the ID type and content that applies to the other router.
Note: The ZyWALL's local and peer ID type and content must match the remote IPSec router's peer and local ID type and content, respectively.
For example, in Table 114 on page 371, the ZyWALL and the remote IPSec router authenticate each other successfully. In contrast, in Table 115 on page 371, the
ZyWALL and the remote IPSec router cannot authenticate each other and, therefore, cannot establish an IKE SA.

It is also possible to configure the ZyWALL to ignore the identity of the remote IPSec router. In this case, you usually set the peer ID type to Any. This is less secure, so you should only use this if your ZyWALL provides another way to check the identity of the remote IPSec router (for example, extended authentication) or if you are troubleshooting a VPN tunnel.
Additional Topics for IKE SA
This section provides more information about IKE SA.
Negotiation Mode
There are two negotiation modes--main mode and aggressive mode. Main mode provides better security, while aggressive mode is faster.
Main mode takes six steps to establish an IKE SA.
Steps 1 - 2: The ZyWALL sends its proposals to the remote IPSec router. The remote IPSec router selects an acceptable proposal and sends it back to the ZyWALL.
Steps 3 - 4: The ZyWALL and the remote IPSec router exchange pre-shared keys for authentication and participate in a Diffie-Hellman key exchange, based on the accepted DH key group, to establish a shared secret.
Steps 5 - 6: Finally, the ZyWALL and the remote IPSec router generate an encryption key (from the shared secret), encrypt their identities, and exchange their encrypted identity information for authentication.
In contrast, aggressive mode only takes three steps to establish an IKE SA. Aggressive mode does not provide as much security because the identity of the ZyWALL and the identity of the remote IPSec router are not encrypted. It is usually used in remote-access situations, where the address of the initiator is not known by the responder and both parties want to use pre-shared keys for authentication. For example, the remote IPSec router may be a telecommuter who does not have a static IP address.
VPN, NAT, and NAT Traversal
In the following example, there is another router (A) between router X and router Y.
Figure 231 VPN/NAT Example

flowchart
graph LR
X["Router X"] --> A["Router A"]
A --> Internet["Internet"]
Y["Router Y"] --> Internet
style Internet fill:#ccc,stroke:#333
If router A does NAT, it might change the IP addresses, port numbers, or both. If router X and router Y try to establish a VPN tunnel, the authentication fails because it depends on this information. The routers cannot establish a VPN tunnel.
Most routers like router A now have an IPSec pass-thru feature. This feature helps router A recognize VPN packets and route them appropriately. If router A has this feature, router X and router Y can establish a VPN tunnel as long as the active protocol is ESP. (See Active Protocol on page 374 for more information about active protocols.)
If router A does not have an IPSec pass-thru or if the active protocol is AH, you can solve this problem by enabling NAT traversal. In NAT traversal, router X and router Y add an extra header to the IKE SA and IPSec SA packets. If you configure router A to forward these packets unchanged, router X and router Y can establish a VPN tunnel.
You have to do the following things to set up NAT traversal.
- Enable NAT traversal on the ZyWALL and remote IPSec router.
- Configure the NAT router to forward packets with the extra header unchanged. (See the field description for detailed information about the extra header.)
The extra header may be UDP port 500 or UDP port 4500, depending on the standard(s) the ZyWALL and remote IPSec router support.
Extended Authentication
Extended authentication is often used when multiple IPSec routers use the same VPN tunnel to connect to a single IPSec router. For example, this might be used with telecommuters.
In extended authentication, one of the routers (the ZyWALL or the remote IPSec router) provides a user name and password to the other router, which uses a local user database and/or an external server to verify the user name and password. If the user name or password is wrong, the routers do not establish an IKE SA.
You can set up the ZyWALL to provide a user name and password to the remote IPSec router, or you can set up the ZyWALL to check a user name and password that is provided by the remote IPSec router.
If you use extended authentication, it takes four more steps to establish an IKE SA. These steps occur at the end, regardless of the negotiation mode (steps 7-10 in main mode, steps 4-7 in aggressive mode).
Certificates
It is possible for the ZyWALL and remote IPSec router to authenticate each other with certificates. In this case, you do not have to set up the pre-shared key, local identity, or remote identity because the certificates provide this information instead.
- Instead of using the pre-shared key, the ZyWALL and remote IPSec router check the signatures on each other's certificates. Unlike pre-shared keys, the signatures do not have to match.
- The local and peer ID type and content come from the certificates.
Note: You must set up the certificates for the ZyWALL and remote IPSec router first.
Regular Expressions in Searching IPSec SAs
A question mark (?) lets a single character in the VPN connection or policy name vary. For example, use "a?c" (without the quotation marks) to specify abc, acc and so on.
Wildcards (*) let multiple VPN connection or policy names match the pattern. For example, use “*abc” (without the quotation marks) to specify any VPN connection or policy name that ends with “abc”. A VPN connection named “testabc” would match. There could be any number (of any type) of characters in front of the “abc” at the end and the VPN connection or policy name would still match. A VPN connection or policy name named “testacc” for example would not match.
A * in the middle of a VPN connection or policy name has the ZyWALL check the beginning and end and ignore the middle. For example, with "abc*123", any VPN connection or policy name starting with "abc" and ending in "123" matches, no matter how many characters are in between.
The whole VPN connection or policy name has to match if you do not use a question mark or asterisk.
IPSec SA Overview
Once the ZyWALL and remote IPSec router have established the IKE SA, they can securely negotiate an IPSec SA through which to send data between computers on the networks.
Note: The IPSec SA stays connected even if the underlying IKE SA is not available anymore.
This section introduces the key components of an IPSec SA.
Local Network and Remote Network
In an IPSec SA, the local network, the one(s) connected to the ZyWALL, may be called the local policy. Similarly, the remote network, the one(s) connected to the remote IPSec router, may be called the remote policy.
Active Protocol
The active protocol controls the format of each packet. It also specifies how much of each packet is protected by the encryption and authentication algorithms. IPSec VPN includes two active protocols, AH (Authentication Header, RFC 2402) and ESP (Encapsulating Security Payload, RFC 2406).
Note: The ZyWALL and remote IPSec router must use the same active protocol.
Usually, you should select ESP. AH does not support encryption, and ESP is more suitable with NAT.
Encapsulation
There are two ways to encapsulate packets. Usually, you should use tunnel mode because it is more secure. Transport mode is only used when the IPSec SA is used for communication between the ZyWALL and remote IPSec router (for example, for remote management), not between computers on the local and remote networks.
Note: The ZyWALL and remote IPSec router must use the same encapsulation.
These modes are illustrated below.
Figure 232 VPN: Transport and Tunnel Mode Encapsulation

bar_stacked
| Packet Type | IP Header | AH/ESP Header | Data | | ----------------------- | --------- | ------------- | ---- | | Original Packet | IP Header | TCP Header | Data | | Transport Mode Packet | IP Header | AH/ESP Header | TCP Header | | Tunnel Mode Packet | IP Header | AH/ESP Header | IP Header | | Transport Mode Packet | Data | AH/ESP Header | Data |In tunnel mode, the ZyWALL uses the active protocol to encapsulate the entire IP packet. As a result, there are two IP headers:
- Outside header: The outside IP header contains the IP address of the ZyWALL or remote IPSec router, whichever is the destination.
- Inside header: The inside IP header contains the IP address of the computer behind the ZyWALL or remote IPSec router. The header for the active protocol (AH or ESP) appears between the IP headers.
In transport mode, the encapsulation depends on the active protocol. With AH, the ZyWALL includes part of the original IP header when it encapsulates the packet. With ESP, however, the ZyWALL does not include the IP header when it encapsulates the packet, so it is not possible to verify the integrity of the source IP address.
IPSec SA Proposal and Perfect Forward Secrecy
An IPSec SA proposal is similar to an IKE SA proposal (see IKE SA Proposal on page 368), except that you also have the choice whether or not the ZyWALL and remote IPSec router perform a new DH key exchange every time an IPSec SA is established. This is called Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS).
If you enable PFS, the ZyWALL and remote IPSec router perform a DH key exchange every time an IPSec SA is established, changing the root key from which encryption keys are generated. As a result, if one encryption key is compromised, other encryption keys remain secure.
If you do not enable PFS, the ZyWALL and remote IPSec router use the same root key that was generated when the IKE SA was established to generate encryption keys.
The DH key exchange is time-consuming and may be unnecessary for data that does not require such security.
Additional Topics for IPSec SA
This section provides more information about IPSec SA in your ZyWALL.
IPSec SA using Manual Keys
You might set up an IPSec SA using manual keys when you want to establish a VPN tunnel quickly, for example, for troubleshooting. You should only do this as a temporary solution, however, because it is not as secure as a regular IPSec SA.
In IPSec SAs using manual keys, the ZyWALL and remote IPSec router do not establish an IKE SA. They only establish an IPSec SA. As a result, an IPSec SA using manual keys has some characteristics of IKE SA and some characteristics of IPSec SA. There are also some differences between IPSec SA using manual keys and other types of SA.
IPSec SA Proposal using Manual Keys
In an IPSec SA using manual keys, you can only specify one encryption algorithm and one authentication algorithm. You cannot specify several proposals. There is no DH key exchange, so you have to provide the encryption key and the authentication key the ZyWALL and remote IPSec router use.
Note: The ZyWALL and remote IPSec router must use the same encryption key and authentication key.
Authentication and the Security Parameter Index (SPI)
For authentication, the ZyWALL and remote IPSec router use the SPI, instead of pre-shared keys, ID type and content. The SPI is an identification number.
Note: The ZyWALL and remote IPSec router must use the same SPI.
NAT for Inbound and Outbound Traffic
The ZyWALL can translate the following types of network addresses in IPSec SA.
- Source address in outbound packets - this translation is necessary if you want the ZyWALL to route packets from computers outside the local network through the IPSec SA.
- Source address in inbound packets - this translation hides the source address of computers in the remote network.
- Destination address in inbound packets - this translation is used if you want to forward packets (for example, mail) from the remote network to a specific computer (like the mail server) in the local network.
Each kind of translation is explained below. The following example is used to help explain each one.

Source Address in Outbound Packets (Outbound Traffic, Source NAT)
This translation lets the ZyWALL route packets from computers that are not part of the specified local network (local policy) through the IPSec SA. For example, in Figure 233 on page 377, you have to configure this kind of translation if you want computer M to establish a connection with any computer in the remote network (B). If you do not configure it, the remote IPSec router may not route messages for computer M through the IPSec SA because computer M's IP address is not part of its local policy.
To set up this NAT, you have to specify the following information:
- Source - the original source address; most likely, computer M's network.
- Destination - the original destination address; the remote network (B).
- SNAT - the translated source address; the local network (A).
Source Address in Inbound Packets (Inbound Traffic, Source NAT)
You can set up this translation if you want to change the source address of computers in the remote network. To set up this NAT, you have to specify the following information:
- Source - the original source address; the remote network (B).
- Destination - the original destination address; the local network (A).
- SNAT - the translated source address; a different IP address (range of addresses) to hide the original source address.
Destination Address in Inbound Packets (Inbound Traffic, Destination NAT)
You can set up this translation if you want the ZyWALL to forward some packets from the remote network to a specific computer in the local network. For example, in Figure 233 on page 377, you can configure this kind of translation if you want to forward mail from the remote network to the mail server in the local network (A).
You have to specify one or more rules when you set up this kind of NAT. The ZyWALL checks these rules similar to the way it checks rules for a firewall. The first part of these rules define the conditions in which the rule apply.
- Original IP - the original destination address; the remote network (B).
- Protocol - the protocol [TCP, UDP, or both] used by the service requesting the connection.
- Original Port - the original destination port or range of destination ports; in Figure 233 on page 377, it might be port 25 for SMTP.
The second part of these rules controls the translation when the condition is satisfied.
- Mapped IP - the translated destination address; in Figure 233 on page 377, the IP address of the mail server in the local network (A).
- Mapped Port - the translated destination port or range of destination ports.
The original port range and the mapped port range must be the same size.
22.1 Overview
Use SSL VPN to allow users to use a web browser for secure remote user login (the remote users do not need a VPN router or VPN client software.
22.1.1 What You Can Do in the SSL VPN Screens
- Use the VPN > SSL VPN > Access Privilege screens (see Section 22.2 on page 381) to configure SSL access policies.
- Use the VPN > SSL VPN > Connection Monitor screen (see Section 22.3 on page 385) to view a list of active SSL VPN connections and delete an active connection.
- Use the Click VPN > SSL VPN > Global Setting screen (see Section 22.4 on page 386) to set the IP address of the ZyWALL (or a gateway device) on your network for full tunnel mode access, enter access messages or upload a custom logo to be displayed on the remote user screen.
22.1.2 What You Need to Know About SSL VPN
There are two SSL VPN network access modes: reverse proxy and full tunnel.
Reverse Proxy Mode
In reverse proxy mode, the ZyWALL is a proxy that acts on behalf of the local network servers (such as your web and mail servers). As the final destination, the ZyWALL appears to be the server to remote users. This provides an added layer of protection for your internal servers.
With reverse proxy mode, remote users can easily access any web-based applications on the local network by clicking on links or entering the provided URL.
You do not have to install additional client software on the remote user computers for access.

Full Tunnel Mode
In full tunnel mode, a virtual connection is created for remote users with private IP addresses in the same subnet as the local network. This allows them to access network resources in the same way as if they were part of the internal network.

SSL Access Policy
An SSL access policy allows the ZyWALL to perform the following tasks:
- limit user access to specific applications or files on the network.
- allow user access to specific networks.
- assign private IP addresses and provide DNS/WINS server information to remote users to access internal networks.
SSL Access Policy Objects
The SSL access policies reference the following objects. If you update this information, in response to changes, the ZyWALL automatically propagates the
changes through the SSL policies that use the object(s). When you delete an SSL policy, the objects are not removed.
Table 116 Objects
| OBJECT TYPE | OBJECT SCREEN | DESCRIPTION |
| User Accounts | User Account/User Group | Configure a user account or user group to which you want to apply this SSL access policy. |
| Application | SSL Application | Configure an SSL application object to specify the application type and server users are allowed to access. |
| IP Pool | Address | Configure an address object that defines a range of private IP addresses to assign to user computers so they can access the internal network through a VPN connection. |
| Server Addresses | Address | Configure address objects for the IP addresses of the DNS and WINS servers that the ZyWALL sends to the VPN connection users. |
| VPN Network | Address | Configure an address object to specify which network segment users are allowed to access through a VPN connection. |
You cannot delete an object that is referenced by an SSL access policy. To delete the object, you must first unassociate the object from the SSL access policy.

23.1.1 What You Need to Know About the SSL User Screens
The ZyWALL can use SSL VPN to provide secure connections to network resources such as applications, files, intranet sites or e-mail through a web-based interface and using Microsoft Outlook Web Access (OWA).
Network Resource Access Methods
As a remote user, you can access resources on the local network using one of the following methods.
• Using a supported web browser
Once you have successfully logged in through the ZyWALL, you can access any intranet site, web-based applications or web-based e-mails using one of the supported web browsers.
• Using the SecuExtender Java thin client
The ZyWALL automatically loads a Java thin client program to your computer after a successful login. With the thin client, you can access servers, remote desktops and manage files as if you were on the local network.
System Requirements
Here are the browser and computer system requirements for remote user access.
• Windows 2000 and Windows XP
- Internet Explorer 5.5 and above (for IE7, JRE 1.6 must be enabled)
• Netscape 7.2 and above
- Firefox 1.0 and above
- Mozilla 1.7.3 and above
- Sun's Java (Java Runtime Environment or 'JRE') installed and enabled with a minimum version of 1.4.
Required Information
A remote user needs the following information from the network administrator to log in and access network resources.
- the domain name or IP address of the ZyWALL
- the login account user name and password
- if also required, the user name and/or password to access the network resource
Certificates
The remote user's computer establishes an HTTPS connection to the ZyWALL to access the login screen. If instructed by your network administrator, you must install or import a certificate (provided by the ZyWALL or your network administrator). Refer to Appendix D on page 881 for more information.
Finding Out More
See Chapter 22 on page 379 for how to configure SSL VPN on the ZyWALL.

26.1 Overview
L2TP VPN lets remote users use the L2TP and IPSec client software included with their computers' operating systems to securely connect to the network behind the ZyWALL. The remote users do not need their own IPSec gateways or VPN client software.

G["User"] --> H["Computer"]
26.1.1 What You Can Do in the L2TP VPN Screens
- Use the L2TP VPN screen (see Section 26.2 on page 411) to configure the ZyWALL's L2TP VPN settings.
- Use the Session Monitor screen (see Section 26.3 on page 412) to display and manage the ZyWALL's connected L2TP VPN sessions.
26.1.2 What You Need to Know About L2TP VPN
The Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) works at layer 2 (the data link layer) to tunnel network traffic between two peers over another network (like the Internet). In L2TP VPN, an IPSec VPN tunnel is established first and then an L2TP tunnel is built inside it. See Chapter 21 on page 339 for information on IPSec VPN.
IPSec Configuration Required for L2TP VPN
You must configure an IPSec VPN connection for L2TP VPN to use (see Chapter 21 on page 339 for details). The IPSec VPN connection must:
- Be enabled.
- Use transport mode.
- Not be a manual key VPN connection.
- Use Pre-Shared Key authentication.
- Use a VPN gateway with the Secure Gateway set to 0.0.0.0 if you need to allow L2TP VPN clients to connect from more than one IP address.
Using the Default L2TP VPN Connection
Default_L2TP_VPN_Connection is pre-configured to be convenient to use for L2TP VPN. If you use it, edit the following.
Configure the local and remote policies as follows.
- For the Local Policy, create an address object that uses host type and contains the My Address IP address that you configured in the Default_L2TP_VPN_GW. Use this address object in the local policy.
- For the Remote Policy, create an address object that uses host type and an IP address of 0.0.0.0. Use this address object in the remote policy.
You must also edit the Default_L2TP_VPN_GW gateway entry.
- Configure the My Address setting according to your requirements.
- Replace the default Pre-Shared Key.
Policy Route
You must configure a policy route to let remote users access resources on a network behind the ZyWALL.
- Set the policy route's Source Address to the address object that you want to allow the remote users to access (LAN_SUBNET in the following figure).
- Set the Destination Address to the IP address pool that the ZyWALL assigns to the remote users (L2TP_POOL in the following figure).
- Set the next hop to be the VPN tunnel that you are using for L2TP.

PART V
Application Patrol
Application Patrol (445)
Application Patrol
28.1 Overview
Application patrol provides a convenient way to manage the use of various applications on the network. It manages general protocols (for example, http and ftp) and instant messenger (IM), peer-to-peer (P2P), Voice over IP (VoIP), and streaming (RSTP) applications. You can even control the use of a particular application's individual features (like text messaging, voice, video conferencing, and file transfers). Application patrol also has powerful bandwidth management including traffic prioritization to enhance the performance of delay-sensitive applications like voice and video.
There is also an option that gives SIP priority over all other traffic going through the ZyWALL. This maximizes SIP traffic throughput for improved VoIP call sound quality.
28.1.1 What You Can Do in the Application Patrol Screens
- Use the General summary screen (see Section 28.2 on page 454) to enable and disable application patrol.
- Use the Common, Instant Messenger, Peer to Peer, VoIP, and Streaming (see Section 28.3 on page 455) screens to look at the applications the ZyWALL can recognize, and review the settings for each one. You can also enable and disable the rules for each application and specify the default and custom policies for each application.
- Use the Application Patrol Edit screen (see Section 28.3.1 on page 456) to edit the settings for an application.
- Use the Application Policy Edit screen (see Section 28.3.2 on page 459) to edit a group of settings for an application.
- Use the Other screens (see Section 28.4 on page 462) to control what the ZyWALL does when it does not recognize the application, and it identifies the conditions that refine this. It also lets you open the Other Configuration Add/Edit screen to create new conditions or edit existing ones.
- Use the Statistics screen (see Section 28.5 on page 466) to see a bandwidth usage graph and statistics for each protocol.
28.1.2 What You Need to Know About Application Patrol
Note: The ZyWALL checks firewall rules before it checks application patrol rules for traffic going through the ZyWALL.
If you want to use a service, make sure both the firewall and application patrol allow the service's packets to go through the ZyWALL.
Application patrol examines every TCP and UDP connection passing through the ZyWALL and identifies what application is using the connection. Then, you can specify, by application, whether or not the ZyWALL continues to route the connection.
Configurable Application Policies
The ZyWALL has policies for individual applications. For each policy, you can specify the default action the ZyWALL takes once it identifies one of the service's connections.
You can also specify custom policies that have the ZyWALL forward, drop, or reject a service's connections based on criteria that you specify (like the source zone, destination zone, original destination port of the connection, schedule, user, source, and destination information). Your custom policies take priority over the policy's default settings.
Classification of Applications
There are two ways the ZyWALL can identify the application. The first is called auto. The ZyWALL looks at the IP payload (OSI level-7 inspection) and attempts to match it with known patterns for specific applications. Usually, this occurs at the beginning of a connection, when the payload is more consistent across connections, and the ZyWALL examines several packets to make sure the match is correct.
Note: The ZyWALL allows the first eight packets to go through the firewall, regardless of the application patrol policy for the application. The ZyWALL examines these first eight packets to identify the application.
The second approach is called service ports. The ZyWALL uses only OSI level-4 information, such as ports, to identify what application is using the connection. This approach is available in case the ZyWALL identifies a lot of “false positives” for a particular application.
Bandwidth Management
When you allow an application, you can restrict the bandwidth it uses or even the bandwidth that particular features in the application (like voice, video, or file
sharing) use. This restriction may be ineffective in certain cases, however, such as using MSN to send files via P2P.
The application patrol bandwidth management is more flexible and powerful than the bandwidth management in policy routes. Application patrol controls TCP and UDP traffic. Use policy routes to manage other types of traffic (like ICMP).
Note: Bandwidth management in policy routes has priority over application patrol bandwidth management. It is recommended to use application patrol instead of policy routes to manage the bandwidth of TCP and UDP traffic.
Connection and Packet Directions
Application patrol looks at the connection direction, that is from which zone the connection was initiated and to which zone the connection is going.
A connection has outbound and inbound packet flows. The ZyWALL controls the bandwidth of traffic of each flow as it is going out through an interface or VPN tunnel.
- The outbound traffic flows from the connection initiator to the connection responder.
- The inbound traffic flows from the connection responder to the connection initiator.
For example, a LAN to WAN connection is initiated from LAN and goes to the WAN.
- Outbound traffic goes from a LAN zone device to a WAN zone device. Bandwidth management is applied before sending the packets out a WAN zone interface on the ZyWALL.
- Inbound traffic comes back from the WAN zone device to the LAN zone device. Bandwidth management is applied before sending the traffic out a LAN zone interface.

Outbound and Inbound Bandwidth Limits
You can limit an application's outbound or inbound bandwidth. This limit keeps the traffic from using up too much of the out-going interface's bandwidth. This way you can make sure there is bandwidth for other applications. When you apply a bandwidth limit to outbound or inbound traffic, each member of the out-going zone can send up to the limit. Take a LAN to WAN policy for example.
- Outbound traffic is limited to 200 kbps. The connection initiator is on the LAN so outbound means the traffic traveling from the LAN to the WAN. Each of the WAN zone's two interfaces can send the limit of 200 kbps of traffic.
- Inbound traffic is limited to 500 kbs. The connection initiator is on the LAN so inbound means the traffic traveling from the WAN to the LAN.

text_image
P1 Inbound 500 kbps P2 Outbound 200 kbps P3 Outbound 200 kbps P4 P5 P6Bandwidth Management Priority
- The ZyWALL gives bandwidth to higher-priority traffic first, until it reaches its configured bandwidth rate.
- Then lower-priority traffic gets bandwidth.
- The ZyWALL uses a fairness-based (round-robin) scheduler to divide bandwidth among traffic flows with the same priority.
- The ZyWALL automatically treats traffic with bandwidth management disabled as priority 7 (the lowest priority).
Maximize Bandwidth Usage
Maximize bandwidth usage allows applications with maximize bandwidth usage enabled to "borrow" any unused bandwidth on the out-going interface.
After each application gets its configured bandwidth rate, the ZyWALL uses the fairness- based scheduler to divide any unused bandwidth on the out-going interface amongst applications that need more bandwidth and have maximize bandwidth usage enabled.
Unused bandwidth is divided equally. Higher priority traffic does not get a larger portion of the unused bandwidth.
Bandwidth Management Behavior
The following sections show how bandwidth management behaves with various settings. For example, you configure DMZ to WAN policies for FTP servers A and B. Each server tries to send 1000 kbps, but the WAN is set to a maximum outgoing speed of 1000 kbps. You configure policy A for server A's traffic and policy B for server B's traffic.

B --> F["WAN"]
Configured Rate Effect
In the following table the configured rates total less than the available bandwidth and maximize bandwidth usage is disabled, both servers get their configured rate.
Table 124 Configured Rate Effect
| POLICY | CONFIGURED RATE | MAX. B. U. | PRIORITY | ACTUAL RATE |
| A | 300 kbps | No | 1 | 300 kbps |
| B | 200 kbps | No | 1 | 200 kbps |
Priority Effect
Here the configured rates total more than the available bandwidth. Because server A has higher priority, it gets up to its configured rate (800 kbps), leaving only 200 kbps for server B.
Table 125 Priority Effect
| POLICY | CONFIGURED RATE | MAX. B. U. | PRIORITY | ACTUAL RATE |
| A | 800 kbps | Yes | 1 | 800 kbps |
| B | 1000 kbps | Yes | 2 | 200 kbps |
Maximize Bandwidth Usage Effect
With maximize bandwidth usage enabled, after each server gets its configured rate, the rest of the available bandwidth is divided equally between the two. So server A gets its configured rate of 300 kbps and server B gets its configured rate
of 200 kbps. Then the ZyWALL divides the remaining bandwidth (1000 - 500 = 500) equally between the two (500 / 2 = 250 kbps for each). The priority has no effect on how much of the unused bandwidth each server gets.
So server A gets its configured rate of 300 kbps plus 250 kbps for a total of 550 kbps. Server B gets its configured rate of 200 kbps plus 250 kbps for a total of 450 kbps.
Table 126 Maximize Bandwidth Usage Effect
| POLICY | CONFIGURED RATE | MAX. B. U. | PRIORITY | ACTUAL RATE |
| A | 300 kbps | Yes | 1 | 550 kbps |
| B | 200 kbps | Yes | 2 | 450 kbps |
Priority and Over Allotment of Bandwidth Effect
Server A has a configured rate that equals the total amount of available bandwidth and a higher priority. You should regard extreme over allotment of traffic with different priorities (as shown here) as a configuration error. Even though the ZyWALL still attempts to let all traffic get through and not be lost, regardless of its priority, server B gets almost no bandwidth with this configuration.
Table 127 Priority and Over Allotment of Bandwidth Effect
| POLICY | CONFIGURED RATE | MAX. B. U. | PRIORITY | ACTUAL RATE |
| A | 1000 kbps | Yes | 1 | 999 kbps |
| B | 1000 kbps | Yes | 2 | 1 kbps |

28.1.3 Application Patrol Bandwidth Management Examples
Bandwidth management is very useful when applications are competing for limited bandwidth. For example, say you have a WAN zone interface connected to an ADSL device with a 8 Mbps downstream and 1 Mbps upstream ADSL connection. The following sections give some simplified examples of using application patrol policies to manage applications competing for that 1 Mbps of upstream bandwidth.
Here is an overview of what the rules need to accomplish. See the following sections for more details.
- SIP traffic from VIP users must get through with the least possible delay regardless of if it is an outgoing call or an incoming call. The VIP users must be able to make and receive SIP calls no matter which interface they are connected to.
- HTTP traffic needs to be given priority over FTP traffic.
- FTP traffic from the WAN to the DMZ must be limited so it does not interfere with SIP and HTTP traffic.
- FTP traffic from the LAN to the DMZ can use more bandwidth since the interfaces support up to 1 Gbps connections, but it must be the lowest priority and limited so it does not interfere with SIP and HTTP traffic.

28.1.3.1 Setting the Interface's Bandwidth
Use the interface screens to set the WAN zone interface's upstream bandwidth to be equal to (or slightly less than) what the connected device can support. This example uses 1000 Kbps.
28.1.3.2 SIP Any to WAN Bandwidth Management Example
- Manage SIP traffic going to the WAN zone from a VIP user on the LAN or DMZ.
- Outbound traffic (to the WAN from the LAN and DMZ) is limited to 200 kbps. The ZyWALL applies this limit before sending the traffic to the WAN.
- Inbound traffic (to the LAN and DMZ from the WAN) is also limited to 200 kbps. The ZyWALL applies this limit before sending the traffic to LAN or DMZ.
- Highest priority (1). Set policies for other applications to lower priorities so the SIP traffic always gets the best treatment.
- Enable maximize bandwidth usage so the SIP traffic can borrow unused bandwidth.

28.1.3.3 SIP WAN to Any Bandwidth Management Example
You also create a policy for calls coming in from the SIP server on the WAN. It is the same as the SIP Any to WAN policy, but with the directions reversed (WAN to Any instead of Any to WAN).
28.1.3.4 HTTP Any to WAN Bandwidth Management Example
- Inbound traffic gets more bandwidth as the local users will probably download more than they upload (and the ADSL connection supports this).
- Second highest priority (2). Set policies for other applications (except SIP) to lower priorities so the local users' HTTP traffic gets sent before non-SIP traffic.
- Enable maximize bandwidth usage so the HTTP traffic can borrow unused bandwidth.

28.1.3.5 FTP WAN to DMZ Bandwidth Management Example
- ADSL supports more downstream than upstream so you allow remote users 300 kbps for uploads to the DMZ FTP server (outbound) but only 100 kbps for downloads (inbound).
• Third highest priority (3). - Disable maximize bandwidth usage since you do not want to give FTP more bandwidth.

28.1.3.6 FTP LAN to DMZ Bandwidth Management Example
- The LAN and DMZ zone interfaces are connected to Ethernet networks (not an ADSL device) so you limit both outbound and inbound traffic to 50 Mbps.
• Fourth highest priority (4). - Disable maximize bandwidth usage since you do not want to give FTP more bandwidth.

| Priority | Enter a number between 1 and 7 to set the priority for this application's traffic that matches this policy. The smaller the number, the higher the priority.The ZyWALL gives traffic of an application with higher priority bandwidth before traffic of an application with lower priority.The ZyWALL uses a fairness-based (round-robin) scheduler to divide bandwidth between applications with the same priority.The number in this field is ignored if the incoming and outgoing limits are both set to 0. In this case the traffic is automatically treated as being set to the lowest priority (7) regardless of this field's configuration. |
| Maximize Bandwidth Usage | Enable maximize bandwidth usage to let the traffic matching this policy "borrow" any unused bandwidth on the out-going interface.After each application gets its configured bandwidth rate, the ZyWALL uses the fairness- based scheduler to divide any unused bandwidth on the out-going interface amongst applications that need more bandwidth and have maximize bandwidth usage enabled. |

28.4 The Other Applications Screen
Sometimes, the ZyWALL cannot identify the application. For example, the application might be a new application, or the packets might arrive out of sequence. (The ZyWALL does not reorder packets when identifying the application.)
The Other (applications) screen controls the default policy for TCP and UDP traffic that the ZyWALL cannot identify. You can use source zone, destination zone, destination port, schedule, user, source, and destination information as criteria to create a sequence of specific conditions, similar to the sequence of rules used by firewalls, to specify what the ZyWALL should do more precisely. You can also control the bandwidth used by these other applications. This screen also allows you to add, edit, and remove conditions to this default policy.

| LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
| Service | This is the protocol. Click the expand icon (+) to display the statistics for each of a protocol's rules. Click the close icon (-) to hide the statistics for each of a protocol's rules. |
| Forwarded Data (KB) | This is how much of the application's traffic the ZyWALL has sent (in kilobytes). |
| Dropped Data (KB) | This is how much of the application's traffic the ZyWALL has discarded without notifying the client (in kilobytes). This traffic was dropped because it matched an application policy set to “drop”. |
| Rejected Data (KB) | This is how much of the application's traffic the ZyWALL has discarded and notified the client that the traffic was rejected (in kilobytes). This traffic was rejected because it matched an application policy set to “reject”. |
| Matched Auto Connection | This is how much of the application's traffic the ZyWALL identified by examining the IP payload. |
| Matched Service Ports Connection | This is how much of the application's traffic the ZyWALL identified by examining OSI level-3 information such as IP addresses and port numbers. |
| Rule | This is a protocol's rule. |
| Inbound Kbps | This is the incoming bandwidth usage for traffic that matched this protocol rule, in kilobits per second. This is the protocol's traffic that the ZyWALL sends to the initiator of the connection. So for a connection initiated from the LAN to the WAN, the traffic sent from the WAN to the LAN is the inbound traffic. |
| Outbound Kbps | This is the outgoing bandwidth usage for traffic that matched this protocol rule, in kilobits per second. This is the protocol's traffic that the ZyWALL sends out from the initiator of the connection. So for a connection initiated from the LAN to the WAN, the traffic sent from the LAN to the WAN is the outbound traffic. |
| Forwarded Data (KB) | This is how much of the application's traffic the ZyWALL has sent (in kilobytes). |
| Dropped Data (KB) | This is how much of the application's traffic the ZyWALL has discarded without notifying the client (in kilobytes). This traffic was dropped because it matched a policy set to “drop”. |
| Rejected Data (KB) | This is how much of the application's traffic the ZyWALL has discarded and notified the client that the traffic was rejected (in kilobytes). This traffic was rejected because it matched a policy set to “reject”. |

29.1.1 What You Can Do in the Anti-Virus Screens
- Use the General screens (Section 29.2 on page 476) to turn anti-virus on or off, set up anti-virus policies and check the anti-virus engine type and the anti-virus license and signature status.
- Use the Black/White List screen (Section 29.3 on page 481) to set up antivirus black (blocked) and white (allowed) lists of virus file patterns.
- Use the Signature screen (Section 29.6 on page 485) to search signatures to get more information about signatures.
29.1.2 What You Need to Know About Anti-Virus
Anti-Virus Engines
Subscribe to signature files for ZyXEL's anti-virus engine or one powered by Kaspersky. When using the trial, you can switch from one engine to the other in the Registration screen. After the trial expires, you need to purchase an iCard for the anti-virus engine you want to use and register it in the Registration >Service screen. You must use the ZyXEL anti-virus iCard for the ZyXEL anti-virus engine and the Kaspersky anti-virus iCard for the Kaspersky anti-virus engine. See Chapter 8 on page 165 for details.
Virus and Worm
A computer virus is a small program designed to corrupt and/or alter the operation of other legitimate programs. A worm is a self-replicating virus that resides in active memory and duplicates itself. The effect of a virus attack varies from doing so little damage that you are unaware your computer is infected to wiping out the entire contents of a hard drive to rendering your computer inoperable.
ZyWALL Anti-Virus Scanner
The ZyWALL has a built-in signature database. Setting up the ZyWALL between your local network and the Internet allows the ZyWALL to scan files transmitting through the enabled interfaces into your network. As a network-based anti-virus scanner, the ZyWALL helps stop threats at the network edge before they reach the local host computers.
You can set the ZyWALL to examine files received through the following protocols:
- FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
- HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol)
- SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol)
• POP3 (Post Office Protocol version 3) - IMAP4 (Internet Message Access Protocol version 4)
How the ZyWALL Anti-Virus Scanner Works
The following describes the virus scanning process on the ZyWALL.
1 The ZyWALL first identifies SMTP, POP3, IMAP4, HTTP and FTP packets through standard ports.
2 If the packets are not session connection setup packets (such as SYN, ACK and FIN), the ZyWALL records the sequence of the packets.
3 The scanning engine checks the contents of the packets for virus.
4 If a virus pattern is matched, the ZyWALL removes the infected portion of the file along with the rest of the file. The un-infected portion of the file before a virus pattern was matched still goes through.
5 If the send alert message function is enabled, the ZyWALL sends an alert to the file's intended destination computer(s).
Note: Since the ZyWALL erases the infected portion of the file before sending it, you may not be able to open the file.
Notes About the ZyWALL Anti-Virus
The following lists important notes about the anti-virus scanner:
1 The ZyWALL anti-virus scanner can detect polymorphic viruses.
2 When a virus is detected, an alert message is displayed in Microsoft Windows computers. Refer to Appendix C on page 875 if your Windows computer does not display the alert messages.
3 Changes to the ZyWALL's anti-virus settings affect new sessions (not the sessions that already existed before you applied the changed settings).
4 The ZyWALL does not scan the following file/traffic types:
- Simultaneous downloads of a file using multiple connections. For example, when you use FlashGet to download sections of a file simultaneously.
- Encrypted traffic. This could be password-protected files or VPN traffic where the ZyWALL is not the endpoint (pass-through VPN traffic).
- Traffic through custom (non-standard) ports. The only exception is FTP traffic. The ZyWALL scans whatever port number is specified for FTP in the ALG screen.
- ZIP file(s) within a ZIP file.
Finding Out More
• See Section 5.4.14 on page 111 for related information on these screens.
• See Section 29.7 on page 487 for anti-virus background information.
29.1.3 Before You Begin
- Before using anti-virus, see Chapter 8 on page 165 for how to register for the anti-virus service.
- You may need to customize the zones (in the Network > Zone) used for the anti-virus scanning direction.

| Enable Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware | Select this check box to check traffic for viruses and spyware. The following table lists policies that define which traffic the ZyWALL scans and the action it takes upon finding a virus. |
| Scan EICAR | Select this option to have the ZyWALL check for the EICAR test file and treat it in the same way as a real virus file. The EICAR test file is a standardized test file for signature based anti-virus scanners. When the virus scanner detects the EICAR file, it responds in the same way as if it found a real virus. Besides straightforward detection, the EICAR file can also be compressed to test whether the anti-virus software can detect it in a compressed file. The test string consists of the following human-readable ASCII characters.X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7]EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!H+H* |
| Policies | |
| Priority | This is the position of an anti-virus policy in the list. The ordering of your anti-virus policies is important as the ZyWALL applies them in sequence. Once traffic matches an anti-virus policy, the ZyWALL applies that policy and does not check the traffic against any more policies. |
| From | The anti-virus policy has the ZyWALL scan traffic coming from this zone and going to theTozone. |
| To | The anti-virus policy has the ZyWALL scan traffic going to this zone from theFromzone. |
| Protocol | These are the protocols of traffic to scan for viruses.FTPapplies to traffic using the TCP port number specified for FTP in the ALG screen.HTTPapplies to traffic using TCP ports 80, 8080 and 3128.SMTPapplies to traffic using TCP port 25.POP3applies to traffic using TCP port 110.IMAP4applies to traffic using TCP port 143. |

| File Pattern | For a black list entry, specify a pattern to identify the names of files that the ZyWALL should log and delete.For a white list entry, specify a pattern to identify the names of files that the ZyWALL should not scan for viruses.Use up to 80 characters. Alphanumeric characters, underscores ( ), dashes (-), question marks (?) and asterisks (*) are allowed.A question mark (?) lets a single character in the file name vary. For example, use “a?.zip” (without the quotation marks) to specify aa.zip, ab.zip and so on.Wildcards (*) let multiple files match the pattern. For example, use “*a.zip” (without the quotation marks) to specify any file that ends with “a.zip”. A file named “testa.zip would match. There could be any number (of any type) of characters in front of the “a.zip” at the end and the file name would still match. A file named “test.zipa” for example would not match.A * in the middle of a pattern has the ZyWALL check the beginning and end of the file name and ignore the middle. For example, with “abc*.zip”, any file starting with “abc” and ending in “.zip” matches, no matter how many characters are in between.The whole file name has to match if you do not use a question mark or asterisk.If you do not use a wildcard, the ZyWALL checks up to the first 80 characters of a file name. |

29.7 Anti-Virus Technical Reference
Types of Computer Viruses
The following table describes some of the common computer viruses.
Table 142 Common Computer Virus Types
| TYPE | DESCRIPTION |
| File Infector | This is a small program that embeds itself in a legitimate program. A file infector is able to copy and attach itself to other programs that are executed on an infected computer. |
| Boot Sector Virus | This type of virus infects the area of a hard drive that a computer reads and executes during startup. The virus causes computer crashes and to some extend renders the infected computer inoperable. |
| Macro Virus | Macro viruses or Macros are small programs that are created to perform repetitive actions. Macros run automatically when a file to which they are attached is opened. Macros spread more rapidly than other types of viruses as data files are often shared on a network. |
| E-mail Virus | E-mail viruses are malicious programs that spread through e-mail. |
| Polymorphic Virus | A polymorphic virus (also known as a mutation virus) tries to evade detection by changing a portion of its code structure after each execution or self replication. This makes it harder for an anti-virus scanner to detect or intercept it.A polymorphic virus can also belong to any of the virus types discussed above. |
Computer Virus Infection and Prevention
The following describes a simple life cycle of a computer virus.
1 A computer gets a copy of a virus from a source such as the Internet, e-mail, file sharing or any removable storage media. The virus is harmless until the execution of an infected program.
2 The virus spreads to other files and programs on the computer.
3 The infected files are unintentionally sent to another computer thus starting the spread of the virus.
4 Once the virus is spread through the network, the number of infected networked computers can grow exponentially.
Types of Anti-Virus Scanner
The section describes two types of anti-virus scanner: host-based and network-based.
A host-based anti-virus (HAV) scanner is often software installed on computers and/or servers in the network. It inspects files for virus patterns as they are moved in and out of the hard drive. However, host-based anti-virus scanners cannot eliminate all viruses for a number of reasons:
- HAV scanners are slow in stopping virus threats through real-time traffic (such as from the Internet).
- HAV scanners may reduce computing performance as they also share the resources (such as CPU time) on the computer for file inspection.
- You have to update the virus signatures and/or perform virus scans on all computers in the network regularly.
A network-based anti-virus (NAV) scanner is often deployed as a dedicated security device (such as your ZyWALL) on the network edge. NAV scanners inspect real-time data traffic (such as E-mail messages or web) that tends to bypass HAV scanners. The following lists some of the benefits of NAV scanners.
- NAV scanners stops virus threats at the network edge before they enter or exit a network.
- NAV scanners reduce computing loading on computers as the read-time data traffic inspection is done on a dedicated security device.
30.1 Overview
This chapter introduces packet inspection IDP (Intrusion, Detection and Prevention), IDP profiles, binding an IDP profile to a traffic flow, custom signatures and updating signatures. An IDP system can detect malicious or suspicious packets and respond instantaneously. IDP on the ZyWALL protects against network-based intrusions.
30.1.1 What You Can Do Using the IDP Screens
- Use the Anti-X > IDP > General screen (Section 30.2 on page 491) to turn IDP on or off, bind IDP profiles to traffic directions, and view registration and signature information. Click the Add or Edit icon in this screen to bind an IDP profile to a traffic direction.
- Use the Anti-X > IDP > Profile screen (Section 30.3 on page 494) to add a new profile, edit an existing profile or delete an existing profile.
- Use the Anti-X > IDP > Custom Signature (Section 30.7 on page 506) screens to create a new signature, edit an existing signature, delete existing signatures or save signatures to your computer.
30.1.2 What You Need To Know About IDP
Packet Inspection Signatures
A signature identifies a malicious or suspicious packet and specifies an action to be taken. You can change the action in the profile screens. Packet inspection signatures examine OSI (Open System Interconnection) layer-4 to layer-7 packet contents for malicious data. Generally, packet inspection signatures are created for known attacks while anomaly detection looks for abnormal behavior (see Chapter 31 on page 523).
Zone
A zone is a combination of ZyWALL interfaces and VPN connections used for configuring security. See the zone chapter for details on zones and the interfaces chapter for details on interfaces.
IDP Profiles
An IDP profile is a set of related IDP signatures that you can activate as a set and configure common log and action settings. You can apply IDP profiles to traffic flowing from one zone to another. For example, apply the default LAN_IDP profile to any traffic going to the LAN zone in order to protect your LAN computers.
Note: You can only apply one IDP profile to one traffic flow.
Base IDP Profiles
Base IDP profiles are templates that you use to create new IDP profiles. The ZyWALL comes with several base profiles. See Table 145 on page 495 for details on base profiles.
IDP Policies
An IDP policy refers to application of an IDP profile to a traffic flowing from one zone to another.
Applying Your IDP Configuration
Changes to the ZyWALL's IDP settings affect new sessions (not the sessions that already existed before you applied the changed settings).
Finding Out More
• See Section 5.4.15 on page 112 for IDP prerequisite information.
• See Chapter 31 on page 523 for anomaly detection and protection.
• See Section 30.9 on page 520 for more information on network-based intrusions
- See Section 30.6.1 on page 501 for a list of attacks that the ZyWALL can protect against.
- See Section 30.7 on page 506 for how to create your own custom IDP signatures.
30.1.3 Before You Begin
- Register for a trial IDP subscription in the Registration screen (see Section 8.2 on page 167). This gives you access to free signature updates. This is important as new signatures are created as new attacks evolve. When the trial subscription expires, purchase and enter a license key using the same screens to continue the subscription.
- Configure zones on the ZyWALL - see Chapter 14 on page 275 for more information.
30.2 The IDP General Screen
Click Anti-X > IDP > General to open this screen. Use this screen to turn IDP on or off, bind IDP profiles to traffic directions, and view registration and signature information.
Note: You must register in order to use packet inspection signatures. See the Registration screens.
If you try to enable IDP when the IDP service has not yet been registered, a warning screen displays and IDP is not enabled.

30.3 Introducing IDP Profiles
An IDP profile is a set of packet inspection signatures.
Packet inspection signatures examine packet content for malicious data. Packet inspection applies to OSI (Open System Interconnection) layer-4 to layer-7 contents. You need to subscribe for IDP service in order to be able to download new signatures.
In general, packet inspection signatures are created for known attacks while anomaly detection looks for abnormal behavior (see Chapter 31 on page 523 for information on anomaly detection).
30.3.1 Base Profiles
The ZyWALL comes with several base profiles. You use base profiles to create new profiles. In the Anti-X > IDP > Profile screen, click the Add icon to display the following screen.

Table 145 Base Profiles
| BASE PROFILE | DESCRIPTION |
| all | All signatures are enabled. Signatures with a high or severe severity level (greater than three) generate log alerts and cause packets that trigger them to be dropped. Signatures with a very low, low or medium severity level (less than or equal to three) generate logs (not log alerts) and no action is taken on packets that trigger them. |
| dmz | This profile is most suitable for networks containing your servers.Signatures for common services such as DNS, FTP, HTTP, ICMP, IMAP, MISC, NETBIOS, POP3, RPC, RSERVICE, SMTP, SNMP, SQL, TELNET, Oracle, MySQL are enabled. Signatures with a high or severe severity level (greater than three) generate log alerts and cause packets that trigger them to be dropped. Signatures with a low or medium severity level (two or three) generate logs (not log alerts) and no action is taken on packets that trigger them. Signatures with a very low severity level (one) are disabled. |
| lan | This profile is most suitable for common LAN network services.Signatures for common services such as DNS, FTP, HTTP, ICMP, IM, IMAP, MISC, NETBIOS, P2P, POP3, RPC, RSERVICE, SMTP, SNMP, SQL, TELNET, TFTP, MySQL are enabled. Signatures with a high or severe severity level (greater than three) generate logs (not log alerts) and cause packets that trigger them to be dropped.

30.5 Creating New Profiles
You may want to create a new profile if not all signatures in a base profile are applicable to your network. In this case you should disable non-applicable signatures so as to improve ZyWALL IDP processing efficiency.
You may also find that certain signatures are triggering too many false positives or false negatives. A false positive is when valid traffic is flagged as an attack. A false negative is when invalid traffic is wrongly allowed to pass through the ZyWALL. As each network is different, false positives and false negatives are common on initial IDP deployment.
You could create a new ‘monitor profile’ that creates logs but all actions are disabled. Observe the logs over time and try to eliminate the causes of the false alarms. When you’re satisfied that they have been reduced to an acceptable level, you could then create an ‘inline profile’ whereby you configure appropriate actions to be taken when a packet matches a signature.
30.5.1 Procedure To Create a New Profile
To create a new profile:
1 Click the Add icon in the Anti-X > IDP > Profile screen to display a pop-up screen allowing you to choose a base profile.
2 Select a base profile (see Table 145 on page 495) and then click OK to go to the profile details screen.
Note: If Internet Explorer opens a warning screen about a script making Internet Explorer run slowly and the computer maybe becoming unresponsive, just click No to continue.
3 Type a new profile name
4 Enable or disable individual signatures.
5 Edit the default log options and actions.
30.6 Profiles: Packet Inspection
Select Anti-X > IDP > Profile and then add a new or edit an existing profile select. Packet inspection signatures examine the contents of a packet for malicious data. It operates at layer-4 to layer-7.

30.6.1 Policy Types
This section describes IDP policy types, also known as attack types, as categorized in the ZyWALL. You may refer to these types when categorizing your own custom rules.
Table 148 Policy Types
| POLICY TYPE | DESCRIPTION |
| P2P | Peer-to-peer (P2P) is where computing devices link directly to each other and can directly initiate communication with each other; they do not need an intermediary. A device can be both the client and the server. In the ZyWALL, P2P refers to peer-to-peer applications such as e-Mule, e-Donkey, BitTorrent, iMesh, etc. |
| IM | IM (Instant Messenger) refers to chat applications. Chat is real-time, text-based communication between two or more users via networks-connected computers. After you enter a chat (or chat room), any room member can type a message that will appear on the monitors of all the other participants. |
| SPAM | Spam is unsolicited “junk” e-mail sent to large numbers of people to promote products or services. |
| DoS/DDoS | The goal of Denial of Service (DoS) attacks is not to steal information, but to disable a device or network on the Internet.A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is one in which multiple compromised systems attack a single target, thereby causing denial of service for users of the targeted system. |
| Scan | A scan describes the action of searching a network for an exposed service. An attack may then occur once a vulnerability has been found. Scans occur on several network levels.A network scan occurs at layer-3. For example, an attacker looks for network devices such as a router or server running in an IP network.A scan on a protocol is commonly referred to as a layer-4 scan. For example, once an attacker has found a live end system, he looks for open ports.A scan on a service is commonly referred to a layer-7 scan. For example, once an attacker has found an open port, say port 80 on a server, he determines that it is a HTTP service run by some web server application. He then uses a web vulnerability scanner (for example, Nikto) to look for documented vulnerabilities. |
| Buffer Overflow | A buffer overflow occurs when a program or process tries to store more data in a buffer (temporary data storage area) than it was intended to hold. The excess information can overflow into adjacent buffers, corrupting or overwriting the valid data held in them.Intruders could run codes in the overflow buffer region to obtain control of the system, install a backdoor or use the victim to launch attacks on other devices. |
| Virus/Worm | A computer virus is a small program designed to corrupt and/or alter the operation of other legitimate programs. A worm is a program that is designed to copy itself from one computer to another on a network. A worm's uncontrolled replication consumes system resources, thus slowing or stopping other tasks. |
| Backdoor/Trojan | A backdoor (also called a trapdoor) is hidden software or a hardware mechanism that can be triggered to gain access to a program, online service or an entire computer system. A Trojan horse is a harmful program that is hidden inside apparently harmless programs or data.Although a virus, a worm and a Trojan are different types of attacks, they can be blended into one attack. For example, W32/Blaster and W32/Sasser are blended attacks that feature a combination of a worm and a Trojan. |
| Access Control | Access control refers to procedures and controls that limit or detect access. Access control attacks try to bypass validation checks in order to access network resources such as servers, directories, and files. |
| Web Attack | Web attacks refer to attacks on web servers such as IIS (Internet Information Services). |
30.6.2 IDP Service Groups
An IDP service group is a set of related packet inspection signatures.
Table 149 IDP Service Groups
| WEB_PHP | WEB_MISC | WEB_IIS | WEB_FRONTPAGE |
| WEB_CGI | WEB_ATTACKS | TFTP | TELNET |
| SQL | SNMP | SMTP | RSERVICES |
| RPC | POP3 | POP2 | P2P |
| ORACLE | NNTP | NETBIOS | MYSQL |
| MISC_EXPLOIT | MISC_DDOS | MISC_BACKDOOR | MISC |
| IMAP | IM | ICMP | FTP |
| FINGER | DNS |
The following figure shows the WEB_PHP service group that contains signatures related to attacks on web servers using PHP exploits. PHP (PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is a server-side HTML embedded scripting language that allows web developers to build dynamic websites.
Logs and actions applied to a service group apply to all signatures within that group. If you select original setting for service group logs and/or actions, all signatures within that group are returned to their last-saved settings.

| IHL | IP Header Length is the number of 32 bit words forming the total length of the header (usually five). |
| Type of Service | The Type of Service, (also known as Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP)) is usually set to 0, but may indicate particular quality of service needs from the network. |
| Total Length | This is the size of the datagram in bytes. It is the combined length of the header and the data. |
| Identification | This is a 16-bit number, which together with the source address, uniquely identifies this packet. It is used during reassembly of fragmented datagrams. |
| Flags | Flags are used to control whether routers are allowed to fragment a packet and to indicate the parts of a packet to the receiver. |
| Fragment Offset | This is a byte count from the start of the original sent packet. |
| Time To Live | This is a counter that decrements every time it passes through a router. When it reaches zero, the datagram is discarded. It is used to prevent accidental routing loops. |
| Protocol | The protocol indicates the type of transport packet being carried, for example, 1 = ICMP; 2= IGMP; 6 = TCP; 17= UDP. |
| Header Checksum | This is used to detect processing errors introduced into the packet inside a router or bridge where the packet is not protected by a link layer cyclic redundancy check. Packets with an invalid checksum are discarded by all nodes in an IP network. |
| Source IP Address | This is the IP address of the original sender of the packet. |
| Destination IP Address | This is the IP address of the final destination of the packet. |
| Options | IP options is a variable-length list of IP options for a datagram that define IP Security Option, IP Stream Identifier, (security and handling restrictions for the military), Record Route (have each router record its IP address), Loose Source Routing (specifies a list of IP addresses that must be traversed by the datagram), Strict Source Routing (specifies a list of IP addresses that must ONLY be traversed by the datagram), Timestamp (have each router record its IP address and time), End of IP List and No IP Options. |
| Padding | Padding is used as a filler to ensure that the IP packet is a multiple of 32 bits. |
30.8 Configuring Custom Signatures
Select Anti-X > IDP > Custom Signatures. The first screen shows a summary of all custom signatures created. Click the SID or Name heading to sort. Click the Add icon to create a new signature or click the Edit icon to edit an existing signature. You can also delete custom signatures here or save them to your computer.
Note: The ZyWALL checks all signatures and continues searching even after a match is found. If two or more rules have conflicting actions for the same packet, then the ZyWALL applies the more restrictive action (reject-both, reject-receiver or reject-sender, drop, none in this order). If a packet matches a rule for reject-receiver and it also matches a rule for reject-sender, then the ZyWALL will reject-both.

| Add icon | Click the Add icon to create a new signature or click the Edit icon to edit an existing signature. |
| Delete | Use this column to delete signatures. Select (or clear) the check box in the header column to select (or clear) all check boxes in that column. You can also select (or clear) individual signatures within the column. When you are certain that you have only selected signatures that you want to remove, click the Delete icon. Click OK in the confirm delete signature dialog box to delete the selected signature(s). |
| Export | Use this column to save signatures to your computer. Select (or clear) the check box in the header column to select (or clear) all check boxes in that column. You can also select (or clear) individual signatures within the column. When you are certain that you have only selected signatures that you want to save, click Export. Click Save in the file download dialog box and then select a location and name for the file.Custom signatures must end with the ‘rules’ file name extension, for example, MySig.rules. |
| Customer Signature Rule Importing | Use this part of the screen to import custom signatures (previously saved to your computer) to the ZyWALL.Note: The name of the complete custom signature file on the ZyWALL is ‘custom.rules’. If you import a file named ‘custom.rules’, then all custom signatures on the ZyWALL are overwritten with the new file. If this is not your intention, make sure that the files you import are not named ‘custom.rules’. |
| File Path | Type the file path and name of the custom signature file you want to import in the text box (or click Browse to find it on your computer) and then click Import to transfer the file to the ZyWALL.New signatures then display in the ZyWALL IDP > Custom Signatures screen. |
30.8.1 Creating or Editing a Custom Signature
Click the Add icon to create a new signature or click the Edit icon to edit an existing signature in the screen as shown in Figure 354 on page 509.
A packet must match all items you configure in this screen before it matches the signature. The more specific your signature (including packet contents), then the fewer false positives the signature will trigger.
Try to write signatures that target a vulnerability, for example a certain type of traffic on certain operating systems, instead of a specific exploit.

| Name | Type the name of your custom signature. You may use 1-31 alphanumeric characters, underscores( ), or dashes (-), but the first character cannot be a number. This value is case-sensitive.Duplicate names can exist but it is advisable to use unique signature names that give some hint as to intent of the signature and the type of attack it is supposed to prevent. Refer to (but do not copy) the packet inspection signature names for hints on creating a naming convention. |
| Signature ID | A signature ID is automatically created when you click the Add icon to create a new signature. You can edit the ID to create a new one (in the 9000000 to 9999999 range), but you cannot use one that already exists. You may want to do that if you want to order custom signatures by SID. |
| Information | Use the following fields to set general information about the signature as denoted below. |
| Severity | The severity level denotes how serious the intrusion is. Categorize the seriousness of the intrusion here. See Table 147 on page 499 as a reference. |
| Platform | Some intrusions target specific operating systems only. Select the operating systems that the intrusion targets, that is, the operating systems you want to protect from this intrusion. SGI refers to Silicon Graphics Incorporated, who manufactures multi-user Unix workstations that run the IRIX operating system (SGI's version of UNIX). A router is an example of a network device. |
| Service | Select the IDP service group that the intrusion exploits or targets. See Table 149 on page 502 for a list of IDP service groups. The custom signature then appears in that group in the IDP > Profile > Group View screen. |
| Policy Type | Categorize the type of intrusion here. See Table 148 on page 501 as a reference. |
| Frequency | Recurring packets of the same type may indicate an attack. Use the following field to indicate how many packets per how many seconds constitute an intrusion |
| Threshold | Select Threshold and then type how many packets (that meet the criteria in this signature) per how many seconds constitute an intrusion. |
| Header Options | |
| Network Protocol | Configure signatures for IP version 4. |
| Type Of Service | Type of service in an IP header is used to specify levels of speed and/or reliability. Some intrusions use an invalid Type Of Service number. Select the check box, then select Equal or Not-Equal and then type in a number. |
| Identification | The identification field in a datagram uniquely identifies the datagram. If a datagram is fragmented, it contains a value that identifies the datagram to which the fragment belongs. Some intrusions use an invalid Identification number. Select the check box and then type in the invalid number that the intrusion uses. |
| Fragmentation | A fragmentation flag identifies whether the IP datagram should be fragmented, not fragmented or is a reserved bit. Some intrusions can be identified by this flag. Select the check box and then select the flag that the intrusion uses. |
| Fragmentation Offset | When an IP datagram is fragmented, it is reassembled at the final destination. The fragmentation offset identifies where the fragment belongs in a set of fragments. Some intrusions use an invalid Fragmentation Offset number. Select the check box, select Equal, Smaller or Greater and then type in a number |
| Time to Live | Time to Live is a counter that decrements every time it passes through a router. When it reaches zero, the datagram is discarded. Usually it's used to set an upper limit on the number of routers a datagram can pass through. Some intrusions can be identified by the number in this field. Select the check box, select Equal, Smaller or Greater and then type in a number. |
| IP Options | IP options is a variable-length list of IP options for a datagram that define IP Security Option, IP Stream Identifier, (security and handling restrictions for the military), Record Route (have each router record its IP address), Loose Source Routing (specifies a list of IP addresses that must be traversed by the datagram), Strict Source Routing (specifies a list of IP addresses that must ONLY be traversed by the datagram), Timestamp (have each router record its IP address and time), End of IP List and No IP Options. IP Options can help identify some intrusions. Select the check box, then select an item from the list box that the intrusion uses |
| Same IP | Select the check box for the signature to check for packets that have the same source and destination IP addresses. |
| Transport Protocol | The following fields vary depending on whether you choose TCP, UDP or ICMP. |
| Transport Protocol: TCP | |
| Port | Select the check box and then enter the source and destination TCP port numbers that will trigger this signature. |
| Flow | If selected, the signature only applies to certain directions of the traffic flow and only to clients or servers. Select Flow and then select the identifying options.Established: The signature only checks for established TCP connectionsStateless: The signature is triggered regardless of the state of the stream processor (this is useful for packets that are designed to cause devices to crash)To Client: The signature only checks for server responses from A to B.To Server: The signature only checks for client requests from B to A.From Client: .The signature only checks for client requests from B to A.From Servers: The signature only checks for server responses from A to B.No Stream: The signature does not check rebuilt stream packets.Only Stream: The signature only checks rebuilt stream packets. |
| Flags | Select what TCP flag bits the signature should check. |
| Sequence Number | Use this field to check for a specific TCP sequence number. |
| Ack Number | Use this field to check for a specific TCP acknowledgement number. |
| Window Size | Use this field to check for a specific TCP window size. |
| Transport Protocol: UDP | |
| Port | Select the check box and then enter the source and destination UDP port numbers that will trigger this signature. |
| Transport Protocol: ICMP | |
| Type | Use this field to check for a specific ICMP type value. |
| Code | Use this field to check for a specific ICMP code value. |
| ID | Use this field to check for a specific ICMP ID value. This is useful for covert channel programs that use static ICMP fields when they communicate. |
| Sequence Number | Use this field to check for a specific ICMP sequence number. This is useful for covert channel programs that use static ICMP fields when they communicate. |
| Payload Options | The longer a payload option is, the more exact the match, the faster the signature processing. Therefore, if possible, it is recommended to have at least one payload option in your signature. |
| Payload Size | This field may be used to check for abnormally sized packets or for detecting buffer overflows.Select the check box, then select Equal, Smaller or Greater and then type the payload size.Stream rebuilt packets are not checked regardless of the size of the payload. |
| Offset | This field specifies where to start searching for a pattern within a packet. For example, an offset of 5 would start looking for the specified pattern after the first five bytes of the payload. |
| Content | Type the content that the signature should search for in the packet payload. Hexadecimal code entered between pipes is converted to ASCII. For example, you could represent the ampersand as either & or |26| (26 is the hexadecimal code for the ampersand). |
| Case-insensitive | Select this check box if content casing does NOT matter. |
| Decode as URI | A Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) is a string of characters for identifying an abstract or physical resource (RFC 2396). A resource can be anything that has identity, for example, an electronic document, an image, a service ("today's weather report for Taiwan"), a collection of other resources. An identifier is an object that can act as a reference to something that has identity. Example URIs are:ftp://ftp.is.co.za/rfc/rfc1808.txt; ftp scheme for File Transfer Protocol serviceshttp://www.math.uio.no/faq/compression-faq/part1.html; http scheme for Hypertext Transfer Protocol servicesmailto:mduerst@ifi.unizh.ch; mailto scheme for electronic mail addressestelnet://melvyl.ucop.edu/; telnet scheme for interactive services via the TELNET ProtocolSelect this check box for the signature to search for normalized URI fields. This means that if you are writing signatures that includes normalized content, such as %2 for directory traversals, these signatures will not be triggered because the content is normalized out of the URI buffer.For example, the URI:/scripts/..%c0%af../winnt/system32/cmd.exe?/c+verwill get normalized into:/winnt/system32/cmd.exe?/c+ver |

30.8.2 Custom Signature Example
Before creating a custom signature, you must first clearly understand the vulnerability.
30.8.2.1 Understand the Vulnerability
Check the ZyWALL logs when the attack occurs. Use web sites such as Google or Security Focus to get as much information about the attack as you can. The more specific your signature, the less chance it will cause false positives.
As an example, say you want to create a signature for the 'Microsoft Windows Plug-and-Play Service Remote Overflow (MS-05-39)' attack. Search the Security Focus web site and you will find it uses the NetBIOS service in established TCP connections to a server using port 445.
30.8.2.2 Analyze Packets
Then use a packet sniffer such as TCPdump or Ethereal to investigate some more.
From the NetBIOS header you see that the first byte '00' defines the message type. The next three bytes represent the length of data, so you can ignore it. Therefore enter |00| as the first pattern.

After you create your custom signature, it becomes available in the IDP service group category in the IDP > Profile > Packet Inspection screen. Custom signatures have an SID from 9000000 to 9999999.
You can activate the signature, configure what action to take when a packet matches it and if it should generate a log or alert in a profile. Then bind the profile to a zone.

You should configure the signature to create a log when an 'attack packet' matches the signature. (You may also want to configure an alert if the attack is more serious and needs more immediate attention.) After you apply the signature to a zone, you can see if it works by checking the logs (Maintenance > Logs > View Log).
All IDP signatures come under the IDP category. The Priority column shows warn for signatures that are configured to generate a log only. It shows critical for signatures that are configured to generate a log and alert. count is the number of attacks that occurred at that time. The Note column displays ACCESS FORWARD when no action is configured for the signature. It displays ACCESS
DENIED if you configure the signature action to drop the packet. The destination port is the service port (NetBIOS in this case) that the attack tries to exploit.

This section contains some background information on IDP.
Host Intrusions
The goal of host-based intrusions is to infiltrate files on an individual computer or server in with the goal of accessing confidential information or destroying information on a computer.
You must install a host IDP directly on the system being protected. It works closely with the operating system, monitoring and intercepting system calls to the kernel or APIs in order to prevent attacks as well as log them.
Disadvantages of host IDPs are that you have to install them on each device (that you want to protect) in your network and due to the necessarily tight integration with the host operating system, future operating system upgrades could cause problems.
Network Intrusions
Network-based intrusions have the goal of bringing down a network or networks by attacking computer(s), switch(es), router(s) or modem(s). If a LAN switch is compromised for example, then the whole LAN is compromised. Host-based intrusions may be used to cause network-based intrusions when the goal of the host virus is to propagate attacks on the network, or attack computer/server operating system vulnerabilities with the goal of bringing down the computer/server. Typical “network-based intrusions” are SQL slammer, Blaster, Nimda MyDoom etc.
Snort Signatures
You may want to refer to open source Snort signatures when creating custom ZyWALL ones. Most Snort rules are written in a single line. Snort rules are divided into two logical sections, the rule header and the rule options as shown in the following example:
alert tcp any any -> 192.168.1.0/24 111 (content:"|00 01 a5|";
msg:"mountd access";)
The text up to the first parenthesis is the rule header and the section enclosed in parenthesis contains the rule options. The words before the colons in the rule options section are the option keywords.
The rule header contains the rule's:
- Action
- Protocol
- Source and destination IP addresses and netmasks
- Source and destination ports information.
The rule option section contains alert messages and information on which parts of the packet should be inspected to determine if the rule action should be taken.
These are some equivalent Snort terms in the ZyWALL.
Note: Not all Snort functionality is supported in the ZyWALL.

31.1 Overview
This chapter introduces ADP (Anomaly Detection and Prevention), anomaly profiles and applying an ADP profile to a traffic direction. ADP protects against anomalies based on violations of protocol standards (RFCs – Requests for Comments) and abnormal flows such as port scans.
31.1.1 ADP and IDP Comparison
1 ADP anomaly detection is in general effective against abnormal behavior while IDP packet inspection signatures are in general effective for known attacks (see Chapter 30 on page 489 for information on packet inspection).
2 ADP traffic and anomaly rules are updated when you upload new firmware. This is different from the IDP packet inspection signatures and the system protect signatures you download from myZyXEL.com.
31.1.2 What You Can Do Using the ADP Screens
- Use Anti-X > ADP > General (Section 31.2 on page 525) to turn anomaly detection on or off and apply anomaly profiles to traffic directions.
- Use Anti-X > ADP > Profile (Section 31.3 on page 527) to add a new profile, edit an existing profile or delete an existing profile.
31.1.3 What You Need To Know About ADP
Traffic Anomalies
Traffic anomaly rules look for abnormal behavior or events such as port scanning, sweeping or network flooding. It operates at OSI layer-2 and layer-3. Traffic anomaly rules may be updated when you upload new firmware.
Protocol Anomalies
Protocol anomalies are packets that do not comply with the relevant RFC (Request For Comments). Protocol anomaly detection includes HTTP Inspection, TCP Decoder, UDP Decoder and ICMP Decoder. Protocol anomaly rules may be updated when you upload new firmware.
ADP Profile
An ADP profile is a set of traffic anomaly rules and protocol anomaly rules that you can activate as a set and configure common log and action settings. You can apply ADP profiles to traffic flowing from one zone to another.
Base ADP Profiles
Base ADP profiles are templates that you use to create new ADP profiles. The ZyWALL comes with several base profiles. See Table 157 on page 528 for details on ADP base profiles.
ADP Policy
An ADP policy refers to application of an ADP profile to a traffic flow.

31.3.3 Creating New ADP Profiles
You may want to create a new profile if not all rules in a base profile are applicable to your network. In this case you should disable non-applicable rules so as to improve ZyWALL ADP processing efficiency.
You may also find that certain rules are triggering too many false positives or false negatives. A false positive is when valid traffic is flagged as an attack. A false negative is when invalid traffic is wrongly allowed to pass through the ZyWALL. As each network is different, false positives and false negatives are common on initial ADP deployment.
You could create a new ‘monitor profile’ that creates logs but all actions are disabled. Observe the logs over time and try to eliminate the causes of the false alarms. When you’re satisfied that they have been reduced to an acceptable level, you could then create an ‘inline profile’ whereby you configure appropriate actions to be taken when a packet matches a rule.
ADP profiles consist of traffic anomaly profiles and protocol anomaly profiles. To create a new profile, select a base profile (see Table 157 on page 528) and then click OK to go to the profile details screen. Type a new profile name, enable or disable individual rules and then edit the default log options and actions.
31.3.4 Traffic Anomaly Profiles

31.4 Technical Reference
This section is divided into traffic anomaly background information and protocol anomaly background information.
Traffic Anomaly Background Information
The following sections may help you configure the traffic anomaly profile screen (Section 31.3.4 on page 529)
Port Scanning
An attacker scans device(s) to determine what types of network protocols or services a device supports. One of the most common port scanning tools in use today is Nmap.
Many connection attempts to different ports (services) may indicate a port scan. These are some port scan types:
- TCP Portscan
- UDP Portscan
- IP Portscan
An IP port scan searches not only for TCP, UDP and ICMP protocols in use by the remote computer, but also additional IP protocols such as EGP (Exterior Gateway Protocol) or IGP (Interior Gateway Protocol). Determining these additional protocols can help reveal if the destination device is a workstation, a printer, or a router.
Decoy Port Scans
Decoy port scans are scans where the attacker has spoofed the source address. These are some decoy scan types:
- TCP Decoy Portscan
- UDP Decoy Portscan
- IP Decoy Portscan
Distributed Port Scans
Distributed port scans are many-to-one port scans. Distributed port scans occur when multiple hosts query one host for open services. This may be used to evade intrusion detection. These are distributed port scan types:
- TCP Distributed Portscan
- UDP Distributed Portscan
• IP Distributed Portscan
Port Sweeps
Many different connection attempts to the same port (service) may indicate a port sweep, that is, they are one-to-many port scans. One host scans a single port on multiple hosts. This may occur when a new exploit comes out and the attacker is looking for a specific service. These are some port sweep types:
- TCP Portsweep
- UDP Portsweep
- IP Portsweep
- ICMP Portsweep
Filtered Port Scans
A filtered port scan may indicate that there were no network errors (ICMP unreachables or TCP RSTs) or responses on closed ports have been suppressed. Active network devices, such as NAT routers, may trigger these alerts if they send out many connection attempts within a very small amount of time. These are some filtered port scan examples.
- TCP Filtered Portscan
- UDP Filtered Portscan
- IP Filtered Portscan
- TCP Filtered Decoy Portscan
- UDP Filtered Decoy Portscan
• IP Filtered Decoy Portscan - TCP Filtered Portsweep
- UDP Filtered Portsweep
• IP Filtered Portsweep - ICMP Filtered Portsweep
- TCP Filtered Distributed Portscan
- UDP Filtered Distributed Portscan
• IP Filtered Distributed Portscan
Flood Detection
Flood attacks saturate a network with useless data, use up all available bandwidth, and therefore make communications in the network impossible.
ICMP Flood Attack
An ICMP flood is broadcasting many pings or UDP packets so that so much data is sent to the system, that it slows it down or locks it up.
Smurf
A smurf attacker (A) floods a router (B) with Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request packets (pings) with the destination IP address of each packet as the broadcast address of the network. The router will broadcast the
ICMP echo request packet to all hosts on the network. If there are numerous hosts, this will create a large amount of ICMP echo request and response traffic.
If an attacker (A) spoofs the source IP address of the ICMP echo request packet, the resulting ICMP traffic will not only saturate the receiving network (B), but the network of the spoofed source IP address (C).

TCP SYN Flood Attack
Usually a client starts a session by sending a SYN (synchronize) packet to a server. The receiver returns an ACK (acknowledgment) packet and its own SYN, and then the initiator responds with an ACK (acknowledgment). After this handshake, a connection is established.
Figure 369 TCP Three-Way Handshake

flowchart
graph LR
A["Client"] --> B["Server"]
B --> C["SYN"]
B --> D["SYN-ACK"]
B --> E["ACK"]
A SYN flood attack is when an attacker sends a series of SYN packets. Each packet causes the receiver to reply with a SYN-ACK response. The receiver then waits for the ACK that follows the SYN-ACK, and stores all outstanding SYN-ACK responses on a backlog queue. SYN-ACKs are only moved off the queue when an ACK comes back or when an internal timer ends the three-way handshake. Once the queue is
full, the system will ignore all incoming SYN requests, making the system unavailable for other users.

E --> I["SYN-ACK"]
F --> J["SYN-ACK"]
LAND Attack
In a LAND attack, hackers flood SYN packets into a network with a spoofed source IP address of the network itself. This makes it appear as if the computers in the network sent the packets to themselves, so the network is unavailable while they try to respond to themselves.
UDP Flood Attack
UDP is a connection-less protocol and it does not require any connection setup procedure to transfer data. A UDP flood attack is possible when an attacker sends a UDP packet to a random port on the victim system. When the victim system receives a UDP packet, it will determine what application is waiting on the destination port. When it realizes that there is no application that is waiting on the port, it will generate an ICMP packet of destination unreachable to the forged source address. If enough UDP packets are delivered to ports on victim, the system will go down.
Protocol Anomaly Background Information
The following sections may help you configure the protocol anomaly profile screen (see Section 31.3.5 on page 532)
HTTP Inspection and TCP/UDP/ICMP Decoders
The following table gives some information on the HTTP inspection, TCP decoder, UDP decoder and ICMP decoder ZyWALL protocol anomaly rules.
Table 161 HTTP Inspection and TCP/UDP/ICMP Decoders
| LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
| HTTP Inspection | |
| APACHE-WHITESPACE ATTACK | This rule deals with non-RFC standard of tab for a space delimiter. Apache uses this, so if you have an Apache server, you need to enable this option. |
| ASCII-ENCODING ATTACK | This rule can detect attacks where malicious attackers use ASCII-encoding to encode attack strings. Attackers may use this method to bypass system parameter checks in order to get information or privileges from a web server. |
| BARE-BYTE-UNICODING-ENCODING ATTACK | Bare byte encoding uses non-ASCII characters as valid values in decoding UTF-8 values. This is NOT in the HTTP standard, as all non-ASCII values have to be encoded with a %. Bare byte encoding allows the user to emulate an IIS server and interpret non-standard encodings correctly. |
| BASE36-ENCODING ATTACK | This is a rule to decode base36-encoded characters. This rule can detect attacks where malicious attackers use base36-encoding to encode attack strings. Attackers may use this method to bypass system parameter checks in order to get information or privileges from a web server. |
| DIRECTORY-TRAVERSAL ATTACK | This rule normalizes directory traversals and self-referential directories. So, "/abc/this_is_not_a_real_dir/../xyz" get normalized to "/abc/xyz". Also, "/abc/.xyz" gets normalized to "/abc/xyz". If a user wants to configure an alert, then specify "yes", otherwise "no". This alert may give false positives since some web sites refer to files using directory traversals. |
| DOUBLE-ENCODING ATTACK | This rule is IIS specific. IIS does two passes through the request URI, doing decodes in each one. In the first pass, IIS encoding (UTF-8 unicode, ASCII, bare byte, and %u) is done. In the second pass ASCII, bare byte, and %u encodings are done. |
| IIS-BACKSLASH-EVASION ATTACK | This is an IIS emulation rule that normalizes backslashes to slashes. Therefore, a request-URI of "/abc\xyz" gets normalized to "/abc/xyz". |
| IIS-UNICODE-CODEPOINT-ENCODING ATTACK | This rule can detect attacks which send attack strings containing non-ASCII characters encoded by IIS Unicode. IIS Unicode encoding references the unicode.map file. Attackers may use this method to bypass system parameter checks in order to get information or privileges from a web server. |
| MULTI-SLASH-ENCODING ATTACK | This rule normalizes multiple slashes in a row, so something like: "abc/////xyz" get normalized to "abc/xyz". |
| NON-RFC-DEFINED-CHAR ATTACK | This rule lets you receive a log or alert if certain non-RFC characters are used in a request URI. For instance, you may want to know if there are NULL bytes in the request-URI. |
| NON-RFC-HTTP-DELIMITER ATTACK | This is when a newline "\n" character is detected as a delimiter. This is non-standard but is accepted by both Apache and IIS web servers. |
| OVERSIZE-CHUNK-ENCODING ATTACK | This rule is an anomaly detector for abnormally large chunk sizes. This picks up the apache chunk encoding exploits and may also be triggered on HTTP tunneling that uses chunk encoding. |
| OVERSIZE-REQUEST-URI-DIRECTORY ATTACK | This rule takes a non-zero positive integer as an argument. The argument specifies the max character directory length for URL directory. If a URL directory is larger than this argument size, an alert is generated. A good argument value is 300 characters. This should limit the alerts to IDS evasion type attacks, like whisker. |
| SELF-DIRECTORY-TRAVERSAL ATTACK | This rule normalizes self-referential directories. So, "/abc/./xyz" gets normalized to "/abc/xyz". |
| U-ENCODING ATTACK | This rule emulates the IIS %u encoding scheme. The %u encoding scheme starts with a %u followed by 4 characters, like %uXXXX. The XXXX is a hex encoded value that correlates to an IIS unicode codepoint. This is an ASCII value. An ASCII character is encoded like, %u002f = /, %u002e = , etc. |
| UTF-8-ENCODING ATTACK | The UTF-8 decode rule decodes standard UTF-8 unicode sequences that are in the URI. This abides by the unicode standard and only uses % encoding. Apache uses this standard, so for any Apache servers, make sure you have this option turned on. When this rule is enabled, ASCII decoding is also enabled to enforce correct functioning. |
| WEBROOT-DIRECTORY-TRAVERSAL ATTACK | This is when a directory traversal traverses past the web server root directory. This generates much fewer false positives than the directory option, because it doesn't alert on directory traversals that stay within the web server directory structure. It only alerts when the directory traversals go past the web server root directory, which is associated with certain web attacks. |
| TCP Decoder | |
| BAD-LENGTH-OPTIONS ATTACK | This is when a TCP packet is sent where the TCP option length field is not the same as what it actually is or is 0. This may cause some applications to crash. |
| EXPERIMENTAL-OPTIONS ATTACK | This is when a TCP packet is sent which contains non-RFC-complaint options. This may cause some applications to crash. |
| OBSOLETE-OPTIONS ATTACK | This is when a TCP packet is sent which contains obsolete RFC options. |
| OVERSIZE-OFFSET ATTACK | This is when a TCP packet is sent where the TCP data offset is larger than the payload. |
| TRUNCATED-OPTIONS ATTACK | This is when a TCP packet is sent which doesn't have enough data to read. This could mean the packet was truncated. |
| TTCP-DETECTED ATTACK | T/TCP provides a way of bypassing the standard three-way handshake found in TCP, thus speeding up transactions. However, this could lead to unauthorized access to the system by spoofing connections. |
| UNDERSIZE-LEN ATTACK | This is when a TCP packet is sent which has a TCP datagram length of less than 20 bytes. This may cause some applications to crash. |
| UNDERSIZE-OFFSET ATTACK | This is when a TCP packet is sent which has a TCP header length of less than 20 bytes. This may cause some applications to crash. |
| UDP Decoder | |
| OVERSIZE-LEN ATTACK | This is when a UDP packet is sent which has a UDP length field of greater than the actual packet length. This may cause some applications to crash. |
| TRUNCATED-HEADER ATTACK | This is when a UDP packet is sent which has a UDP datagram length of less the UDP header length. This may cause some applications to crash. |
| UNDERSIZE-LEN ATTACK | This is when a UDP packet is sent which has a UDP length field of less than 8 bytes. This may cause some applications to crash. |
| ICMP Decoder | |
| TRUNCATED-ADDRESS-HEADER ATTACK | This is when an ICMP packet is sent which has an ICMP datagram length of less than the ICMP address header length. This may cause some applications to crash. |
| TRUNCATED-HEADER ATTACK | This is when an ICMP packet is sent which has an ICMP datagram length of less than the ICMP header length. This may cause some applications to crash. |
| TRUNCATED-TIMESTAMP-HEADER ATTACK | This is when an ICMP packet is sent which has an ICMP datagram length of less than the ICMP Time Stamp header length. This may cause some applications to crash. |
Content Filtering
32.1 Overview
Use the content filtering feature to control access to specific web sites or web content.
32.1.1 What You Can Do in the Content Filter Screens
- Use the General screens (Section 32.2 on page 546) to configure global content filtering settings, configure content filtering policies, and check the content filtering license status.
- Use the Filter Profile screens (Section 32.4 on page 550) to set up content filtering profiles.
- Use the Cache screen (Section 32.7 on page 563) to view and configure your ZyWALL's URL caching.
32.1.2 What You Need to Know About Content Filtering
Content Filtering
Content filtering allows you to block certain web features, such as cookies, and/or block access to specific web sites. It can also block access to specific categories of web site content. You can create different content filter policies for different addresses, schedules, users or groups and content filter profiles. For example, you can configure one policy that blocks John Doe's access to arts and entertainment web pages during the workday and another policy that lets him access them after work.
Content Filtering Policies
A content filtering policy allows you to do the following.
- Use schedule objects to define when to apply a content filter profile.
- Use address and/or user/group objects to define to whose web access to apply the content filter profile.
- Apply a content filter profile that you have custom-tailored.
Content Filtering Profiles
A content filtering profile conveniently stores your custom settings for the following features.
- Category-based Blocking
The ZyWALL can block access to particular categories of web site content, such as pornography or racial intolerance.
- Restrict Web Features
The ZyWALL can disable web proxies and block web features such as ActiveX controls, Java applets and cookies.
- Customize Web Site Access
You can specify URLs to which the ZyWALL blocks access. You can alternatively block access to all URLs except ones that you specify. You can also have the ZyWALL block access to URLs that contain particular keywords.
Content Filtering Configuration Guidelines
When the ZyWALL receives an HTTP request, the content filter searches for a policy that matches the source address and time (schedule). The content filter checks the policies in order (based on the policy numbers). When a matching policy is found, the content filter allows or blocks the request depending on the settings of the filtering profile specified by the policy. Some requests may not match any policy. The ZyWALL allows the request if the default policy is not set to block. The ZyWALL blocks the request if the default policy is set to block.
External Web Filtering Service
When you register for and enable the external web filtering service, your ZyWALL accesses an external database that has millions of web sites categorized based on content. You can have the ZyWALL block, block and/or log access to web sites based on these categories.
Keyword Blocking URL Checking
The ZyWALL checks the URL's domain name (or IP address) and file path separately when performing keyword blocking.
The URL's domain name or IP address is the characters that come before the first slash in the URL. For example, with the URL www.zyxel.com.tw/news/pressroom.php, the domain name is www.zyxel.com.tw.
The file path is the characters that come after the first slash in the URL. For example, with the URL www.zyxel.com.tw/news/pressroom.php, the file path is news/pressroom.php.
Since the ZyWALL checks the URL's domain name (or IP address) and file path separately, it will not find items that go across the two. For example, with the URL www.zyxel.com.tw/news/pressroom.php, the ZyWALL would find "tw" in the domain name (www.zyxel.com.tw). It would also find "news" in the file path (news/pressroom.php) but it would not find "tw/news".
Finding Out More
• See Section 5.4.17 on page 112 for related information on these screens.
- See Section 32.8 on page 566 for content filtering background/technical information.
32.1.3 Before You Begin
- You must configure an address object, a schedule object and a filtering profile before you can set up a content filter policy.
- You must register the content filtering standard (in the Licensing > Registration > Service) or trial (Licensing > Registration > Registration) service before you can use external database content filtering (in the Anti-X > Content Filter > Filter Profiles > Categories).
32.2 Content Filter General Screen
Click Anti-X > Content Filter > General to open the Content Filter General screen. Use this screen to enable content filtering, view and order your list of content filter policies, create a denial of access message or specify a redirect URL and check your external web filtering service registration status.

Click Anti-X > Content Filter > Cache to display the Content Filter Cache screen. Use this screen to view and configure your ZyWALL's URL caching. You can also configure how long a categorized web site address remains in the cache as well as view those web site addresses to which access has been allowed or blocked based on the responses from the external content filtering server. The ZyWALL only queries the external content filtering database for sites not found in the cache.
You can remove individual entries from the cache. When you do this, the ZyWALL queries the external content filtering database the next time someone tries to
access that web site. This allows you to check whether a web site's category has been changed.

1 A computer behind the ZyWALL tries to access a web site.
2 The ZyWALL looks up the web site in its cache. If an attempt to access the web site was made in the past, a record of that web site's category will be in the ZyWALL's cache. The ZyWALL blocks, blocks and logs or just logs the request based on your configuration.
3 Use the Content Filter Cache screen to configure how long a web site address remains in the cache as well as view those web site addresses (see Section 32.7 on page 563). All of the web site address records are also cleared from the local cache when the ZyWALL restarts.
4 If the ZyWALL has no record of the web site, it queries the external content filter database and simultaneously sends the request to the web server.
5 The external content filter server sends the category information back to the ZyWALL, which then blocks and/or logs access to the web site based on the settings in the content filter profile. The web site's address and category are then stored in the ZyWALL's content filter cache.

34.1 Overview
The anti-spam feature can mark or discard spam (unsolicited commercial or junk e-mail). Use the white list to identify legitimate e-mail. Use the black list to identify spam e-mail. The ZyWALL can also check e-mail against a DNS black list (DNSBL) of IP addresses of servers that are suspected of being used by spammers.
34.1.1 What You Can Do in the Anti-Spam Screens
- Use the General screens (Section 34.3 on page 578) to turn anti-spam on or off and manage anti-spam policies.
- Use the Black/White List screens (Section 34.4 on page 581) to set up a black list to identify spam and a white list to identify legitimate e-mail.
- Use the DNSBL screens (Section 34.6 on page 586) to have the ZyWALL check e-mail against DNS Black Lists.
- Use the Status screen (Section 34.6 on page 586) to see how many mail sessions the ZyWALL is currently checking and DNSBL statistics.
34.1.2 What You Need to Know About Anti-Spam
White list
Configure white list entries to identify legitimate e-mail. The white list entries have the ZyWALL classify any e-mail that is from a specified sender or uses a specified header field and header value as being legitimate (see E-mail Headers on page 576 for more on mail headers). The anti-spam feature checks an e-mail against the white list entries before doing any other anti-spam checking. If the e-mail matches a white list entry, the ZyWALL classifies the e-mail as legitimate and does not perform any more anti-spam checking on that individual e-mail. A properly configured white list helps keep important e-mail from being incorrectly classified as spam. The white list can also increases the ZyWALL's anti-spam speed and efficiency by not having the ZyWALL perform the full anti-spam checking process on legitimate e-mail.
Black List
Configure black list entries to identify spam. The black list entries have the ZyWALL classify any e-mail that is from or forwarded by a specified IP address or uses a specified header field and header value as being spam. If an e-mail does not match any of the white list entries, the ZyWALL checks it against the black list entries. The ZyWALL classifies an e-mail that matches a black list entry as spam and immediately takes the configured action for dealing with spam. If an e-mail matches a blacklist entry, the ZyWALL does not perform any more anti-spam checking on that individual e-mail. A properly configured black list helps catch spam e-mail and increases the ZyWALL's anti-spam speed and efficiency.
SMTP and POP3
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is the Internet's message transport standard. It controls the sending of e-mail messages between servers. E-mail clients (also called e-mail applications) then use mail server protocols such as POP (Post Office Protocol) or IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) to retrieve e-mail. E-mail clients also generally use SMTP to send messages to a mail server. The older POP2 requires SMTP for sending messages while the newer POP3 can be used with or without it. This is why many e-mail applications require you to specify both the SMTP server and the POP or IMAP server (even though they may actually be the same server).
The ZyWALL's anti-spam feature checks SMTP (TCP port 25) and POP3 (TCP port 110) e-mails. The anti-spam feature does not check (or act upon) e-mails that use other protocols (such as IMAP) or other port numbers.
E-mail Headers
Every email has a header and a body. The header is structured into fields and includes the addresses of the recipient and sender, the subject, and other information about the e-mail and its journey. The body is the actual message text and any attachments. You can have the ZyWALL check for specific header fields with specific values.
E-mail programs usually only show you the To:, From:, Subject:, and Date: header fields but there are others such as Received: and Content-Type:. To see all of an e-mail's header, you can select an e-mail in your e-mail program and look at its properties or details. For example, in Microsoft's Outlook Express, select a mail and click File > Properties > Details. This displays the e-mail's header. Click Message Source to see the source for the entire mail including both the header and the body.
E-mail Header Buffer Size
The ZyWALL has a 5 K buffer for an individual e-mail header. If an e-mail's header is longer than 5 K, the ZyWALL only checks up to the first 5 K.
DNSBL
A DNS Blacklist (DNSBL) is a server that hosts a list of IP addresses known or suspected of having sent or forwarded spam. A DNSBL is also known as a DNS spam blocking list. The ZyWALL can check the routing addresses of e-mail against DNSBLs and classify an e-mail as spam if it was sent or forwarded by a computer with an IP address in the DNSBL.
Here's how the ZyWALL uses DNSBLs.
Figure 385 DNSBL Example

flowchart
graph TD
A["DNSBL 1"] -->|2 Not spam.| B["DNSBL 2"]
B -->|3 Spam!| C["DNSBL 3"]
D["IPv6"] -->|1 IPs: a.b.c.d w.x.y.z| E["No foreign symbol"]
F["Red prohibition icon"] --> D
1 The ZyWALL checks the e-mail's header for sender or relay IP addresses and sends them to all of the DNSBL domains configured in the ZyWALL.
2 The DNSBL servers reply as to whether or not the IP addresses match an entry in their list. In this example, DNSBL 1's reply came first. Since DNSBL 1 says the IP addresses are not in its list, the ZyWALL waits for more responses.
3 DNSBL 2 has one of the IP addresses in its list.
4 The ZyWALL immediately classifies the e-mail as spam and takes the action for spam that you defined in the anti-spam policy (in this example it was an SMTP mail and the defined action is to drop the mail). After a positive match is found in a DNSBL, the ZyWALL does not wait for any more DNSBL responses.

34.4.2 Regular Expressions in Black or White List Entries
The following applies for a black or white list entry based on an e-mail subject, e-mail address, or e-mail header value.
- Use a question mark (?) to let a single character vary. For example, use "a?c" (without the quotation marks) to specify abc, acc and so on.
- You can also use a wildcard (*). For example, if you configure *def.com, any email address that ends in def.com matches. So "mail.def.com" matches.
- The wildcard can be anywhere in the text string and you can use more than one wildcard. You cannot use two wildcards side by side, there must be other characters between them.
- The ZyWALL checks the first header with the name you specified in the entry. So if the e-mail has more than one “Received” header, the ZyWALL checks the first one.

35.1.1 What You Can Do in the Device HA Screens
- Use the General screen (Section 35.2 on page 595) to configure device HA global settings, and see the status of each interface monitored by device HA.
- Use the Active-Passive Mode screens (Section 35.3.1 on page 598) to use active-passive mode device HA. You can configure general active-passive mode device HA settings, view and manage the list of monitored interfaces, and synchronize backup ZyWALLs.
- Use the Legacy Mode screens (Section 35.5 on page 602) to use legacy mode device HA. You can configure general legacy mode HA settings including link monitoring, configure the VRRP group settings and synchronize backup ZyWALLs.
35.1.2 What You Need to Know About Device HA
Active-Passive Mode and Legacy Mode
- Active-passive mode lets a backup ZyWALL take over if the master ZyWALL fails.
- Legacy mode allows for more complex relationships between the master and backup ZyWALLs, such as active-active or using different ZyWALLs as the master ZyWALL for individual interfaces. Legacy mode configuration involves a greater degree of complexity. Active-passive mode is recommended for general failover deployments.
- The ZyWALLs must all support and be set to use the same device HA mode (either active-passive or legacy).
Management Access
You can configure a separate management IP address for each interface. You can use it to access the ZyWALL for management whether the ZyWALL is the master or a backup. The management IP address should be in the same subnet as the interface IP address.
Synchronization
Use synchronization to have a backup ZyWALL copy the master ZyWALL's configuration, signatures (anti-virus, IDP/application patrol, and system protect), and certificates.
Note: Only ZyWALLs of the same model and firmware version can synchronize.
Otherwise you must manually configure the master ZyWALL's settings on the backup (by editing copies of the configuration files in a text editor for example).
Finding Out More
• See Section 5.4.8 on page 108 for related information on these screens.
• See Section 35.8 on page 608 for device HA background/technical information.
• See Section 6.7 on page 141 for an example of using device HA.
35.1.3 Before You Begin
- Configure a static IP address for each interface that you will have device HA monitor.
Note: Subscribe to services on the backup ZyWALL before synchronizing it with the master ZyWALL.
- Synchronization includes updates for services to which the master and backup ZyWALLs are both subscribed. For example, a backup subscribed to IDP/AppPatrol, but not anti-virus, gets IDP/AppPatrol updates from the master, but not anti-virus updates. It is highly recommended to subscribe the master and backup ZyWALLs to the same services.
35.2 Device HA General
The Device HA General screen lets you enable or disable device HA, and displays which device HA mode the ZyWALL is set to use along with a summary of the monitored interfaces.

35.3 The Active-Passive Mode Screen
Virtual Router
The master and backup ZyWALL form a single 'virtual router'. In the following example, master ZyWALL A and backup ZyWALL B form a virtual router.

Cluster ID
You can have multiple ZyWALL virtual routers on your network. Use a different cluster ID to identify each virtual router. In the following example, ZyWALLs A and
B form a virtual router that uses cluster ID 1. ZyWALLs C and D form a virtual router that uses cluster ID 2.

Monitored Interfaces in Active-Passive Mode Device HA
You can select which interfaces device HA monitors. If a monitored interface on the ZyWALL loses its connection, device HA has the backup ZyWALL take over.
Enable monitoring for the same interfaces on the master and backup ZyWALLs. Each monitored interface must have a static IP address and be connected to the same subnet as the corresponding interface on the backup or master ZyWALL.
Virtual Router and Management IP Addresses
- If a backup takes over for the master, it uses the master's IP addresses. These IP addresses are known as the virtual router IP addresses.
- Each interface can also have a management IP address. You can connect to this IP address to manage the ZyWALL regardless of whether it is the master or the backup.
For example, ZyWALL B takes over A's 192.168.1.1 LAN interface IP address. This is a virtual router IP address. ZyWALL A keeps it's LAN management IP address of
192.168.1.5 and ZyWALL B has its own LAN management IP address of 192.168.1.6. These do not change when ZyWALL B becomes the master.

35.5 The Legacy Mode Screen
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)
Legacy mode device HA uses Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) to create redundant backup gateways to ensure that a default gateway is always available. The ZyWALL uses a custom VRRP implementation and is not compatible with standard VRRP.
While active-passive mode only requires a single cluster ID for the entire virtual router, legacy mode device HA requires you to configure a separate VRRP group and Virtual Router ID (VRID) for each interface in a virtual router.
Additional VRRP Notes
- It is possible to set up two virtual routers so that they back up each other.
• VRRP uses IP protocol 112.
VRRP Groups
In legacy mode, you create a VRRP group to add one of its interfaces to a virtual router. You can add any Ethernet or VLAN interface with a static IP address. You do not configure VRRP groups for virtual interfaces.
- You can only use interfaces that have static IP addresses.
- You can only enable one VRRP group for each interface, and you can only have one active VRRP group for each virtual router.
- If you create a VRRP group for an Ethernet interface that has a VLAN interface configured on it, make sure you create a separate VRRP group for the VLAN interface. This will avoid an IP conflict if the backup ZyWALL takes over for the master.
- When the ZyWALL is the master, the interface uses its IP address, the IP address of the virtual router. If the ZyWALL is a backup, the interface uses its management IP address.
- You can only have one active VRRP group for each interface, and you can only have one active VRRP group for each virtual router (VR ID).
- You can set up authentication for a VRRP group. If you select AH MD5 authentication, the VRRP group uses IP protocol 51 (AH), instead of IP protocol 112 (VRRP).
Link Monitoring and Management Access
Link monitoring has a backup ZyWALL take over all of an unavailable master ZyWALL's static IP addresses. This way the backup ZyWALL takes over all of the master ZyWALL's functions. This also means you can only access the original master ZyWALL through its management IP address.
35.6 Configuring the Legacy Mode Screen
The Device HA Legacy Mode screen lets you configure general legacy mode HA settings including link monitoring, configure the VRRP group and synchronize backup ZyWALLs. To access this screen, click Device HA > Legacy Mode.

35.8 Device HA Technical Reference
Legacy Mode ZyWALL VRRP Application
In VRRP, a virtual router represents a number of ZyWALLs associated with one IP address, the IP address of the default gateway. Each virtual router is identified by a unique 8-bit identification number called a Virtual Router ID (VR ID). In the example below, ZyWALL A and ZyWALL B are part of virtual router 10 with IP address 192.168.10.254.
Figure 403 Example: VRRP, Normal Operation

B -->|192.168.10.112| C
D["Internet Cloud"] --> A
The VR ID is not shown. In normal operation, ZyWALL A is the master. It has the same IP address as the default gateway and forwards traffic for the network. ZyWALL B is a backup. It is using its management IP address 192.168.10.112. ZyWALL A sends regular messages to ZyWALL B to let ZyWALL B know that ZyWALL A is available. If ZyWALL A becomes unavailable, it stops sending messages to ZyWALL B. ZyWALL B detects this and assumes the role of the master. This is illustrated below.

A -->|INTERNET| C["Cloud"]
style A fill:#f9f,stroke:#333
style B fill:#bbf,stroke:#333
ZyWALL B is now using the IP address of the default gateway, and it is forwarding packets for the network. The loss of ZyWALL A has no effect on the network.
If there is more than one backup ZyWALL, the backup ZyWALL with the highest priority becomes the master. The other backup ZyWALLs remain backups.
If ZyWALL A becomes available again, ZyWALL A preempts ZyWALL B and becomes the master again (the network returns to the state shown in Figure 403 on page 608).
Synchronization
During synchronization, the master ZyWALL sends the following information to the backup ZyWALL.
- Startup configuration file (startup-config.conf)
- AV signatures
• IDP and application patrol signatures - System protect signatures
• Certificates (My Certificates, and Trusted Certificates)
Synchronization does not change the device HA settings in the backup ZyWALL.
Synchronization affects the entire device configuration. You can only configure one set of settings for synchronization, regardless of how many VRRP groups you might configure. The ZyWALL uses Secure FTP (on a port number you can change) to synchronize, but it is still recommended that the backup ZyWALL synchronize with a master ZyWALL on a secure network.
The backup ZyWALL gets the configuration from the master ZyWALL. The backup ZyWALL cannot become the master or be managed while it applies the new configuration. This usually takes two or three minutes or longer depending on the configuration complexity.
The following restrictions apply with active-passive mode.
- The master ZyWALL must have no inactive monitored interfaces.
- The backup ZyWALL cannot be the master. This refers to the actual role at the time of synchronization, not the role setting in the configuration screen.
The following synchronization restrictions apply with legacy mode. - The master ZyWALL must have at least one active VRRP group and no standby VRRP groups.
- The backup ZyWALL cannot be the master in any active VRRP group. This refers to the actual role at the time of synchronization, not the role setting in the VRRP group.
The backup applies the entire configuration if it is different from the backup's current configuration.

36.1 Overview
This chapter describes how to set up user accounts, user groups, and user settings for the ZyWALL. You can also set up rules that control when users have to log in to the ZyWALL before the ZyWALL routes traffic for them.
36.1.1 What You Can Do Using The User/Group Screens
- The User screen (see Section 36.2 on page 616) provides a summary of all user accounts.
- The Group screen (see Section 36.3 on page 619) provides a summary of all user groups. In addition, this screen allows you to add, edit, and remove user groups. User groups may consist of access users and other user groups. You cannot put admin users in user groups
- The Setting screen (see Section 36.4 on page 620) controls default settings, login settings, lockout settings, and other user settings for the ZyWALL. You can also use this screen to specify when users must log in to the ZyWALL before it routes traffic for them.
36.1.2 What You Need To Know About User/Groups
User Account
A user account defines the privileges of a user logged into the ZyWALL. User accounts are used in firewall rules and application patrol, in addition to controlling access to configuration and services in the ZyWALL.
User Types
These are the types of user accounts the ZyWALL uses.
Note: The default admin account is always authenticated locally, regardless of the authentication method setting. (See Chapter 40 on page 647 for more information about authentication methods.)
Table 181 Types of User Accounts
| TYPE | ABILITIES | LOGIN METHOD(S) |
| Admin Users | ||
| Admin | Change ZyWALL configuration (web, CLI) | WWW, TELNET, SSH, FTP, Console, Dial-in |
| Limited-Admin | Look at ZyWALL configuration (web, CLI)Perform basic diagnostics (CLI) | WWW, TELNET, SSH, Console, Dial-in |
| Access Users | ||
| User | Access network servicesBrowse user-mode commands (CLI) | WWW, TELNET, SSH |
| Guest | Access network services | WWW |
| Ext-User | External User Account | WWW |
Ext-User Accounts
Set up an Ext-User account if the user is authenticated by an external server and you want to set up specific policies for this user in the ZyWALL. If you do not want to set up policies for this user, you do not have to set up an Ext-User account.
Ext-User users should be authenticated by an external server, such as AD, LDAP or RADIUS. If the ZyWALL tries to use the local database to authenticate an Ext-User, the authentication attempt always fails. (This is related to AAA servers and authentication methods, which are discussed in Chapter 40 on page 647 and Chapter 41 on page 659, respectively.)
Note: If the ZyWALL tries to authenticate an Ext-User using the local database, the attempt always fails.
Once an Ext-User user has been authenticated, the ZyWALL tries to get the user type (see Table 181 on page 613) from the external server. If the external server does not have the information, the ZyWALL sets the user type for this session to User.
For the rest of the user attributes, such as reauthentication time, the ZyWALL checks the following places, in order.
1 User account in the remote server.
2 User account (Ext-User) in the ZyWALL.
3 Default user account for AD users (ad-users), LDAP users (ldap-users) or RADIUS users (radius-users) in the ZyWALL.
See Setting up User Attributes in an External Server on page 626 for a list of attributes and how to set up the attributes in an external server.
User Groups
User groups may consist of user accounts or other user groups. Use user groups when you want to create the same rule for several user accounts, instead of creating separate rules for each one.
Note: You cannot put access users and admin users in the same user group.
Note: You cannot put the default admin account into any user group.
The sequence of members in a user group is not important.
User Awareness
By default, users do not have to log into the ZyWALL to use the network services it provides. The ZyWALL automatically routes packets for everyone. If you want to restrict network services that certain users can use via the ZyWALL, you can require them to log in to the ZyWALL first. The ZyWALL is then 'aware' of the user who is logged in and you can create 'user-aware policies' that define what services they can use. See Section 36.4.2 on page 625 for a user-aware login example.
Forced User Authentication
Instead of making users for which user-aware policies have been configured go to the ZyWALL Login screen manually, you can configure the ZyWALL to display the Login screen automatically whenever it routes HTTP traffic for anyone who has not logged in yet.
Note: This works with HTTP traffic only. The ZyWALL does not force users to log in before it routes other kinds of traffic.
The ZyWALL does not automatically route the request that prompted the login, however, so users have to make this request again.
Finding Out More
• See Section 5.5.1 on page 116 for related information on these screens.
- See Section 36.5 on page 626 for some information on users who use an external authentication server in order to log in.

Enter a user name from 1 to 31 characters.
The user name can only contain the following characters:
- Alphanumeric A-z 0-9 (there is no unicode support)
- _ [underscores]
- [dashes]
The first character must be alphabetical (A-Z a-z), an underscore (_), or a dash (-). Other limitations on user names are:
- User names are case-sensitive. If you enter a user 'bob' but use 'BOB' when connecting via CIFS or FTP, it will use the account settings used for 'BOB' not 'bob'.
- User names have to be different than user group names.
- Reserved user names are listed in the following table.

36.5 User /Group Technical Reference
This section provides some information on users who use an external authentication server in order to log in.
Setting up User Attributes in an External Server
To set up user attributes, such as reauthentication time, in LDAP or RADIUS servers, use the following keywords in the user configuration file.
Table 190 LDAP/RADIUS: Keywords for User Attributes
| KEYWORD | CORRESPONDING ATTRIBUTE IN WEB CONFIGURATOR |
| type | User Type. Possible Values: admin, limited-admin, user, guest. |
| leaseTime | Lease Time. Possible Values: 1-1440 (minutes). |
| reauthTime | Reauthentication Time. Possible Values: 1-1440 (minutes). |
The following examples show you how you might set up user attributes in LDAP and RADIUS servers.
Figure 412 LDAP Example: Keywords for User Attributes
type: admin leaseTime: 99 reauthTime: 199
Figure 413 RADIUS Example: Keywords for User Attributes
type=user;leaseTime=222;reauthTime=222
Creating a Large Number of Ext-User Accounts
If you plan to create a large number of Ext-User accounts, you might use CLI commands, instead of the web configurator, to create the accounts. Extract the user names from the LDAP or RADIUS server, and create a shell script that creates the user accounts. See Chapter 46 on page 749 for more information about shell scripts.
Addresses
37.1 Overview
Address objects can represent a single IP address or a range of IP addresses. Address groups are composed of address objects and other address groups.
37.1.1 What You Can Do Using The Addresses Screens
- The Address screen (Section 37.2 on page 629) provides a summary of all addresses in the ZyWALL. Use the Address Add/Edit screen to create a new address or edit an existing one.
- Use the Address Group summary screen (Section 37.3 on page 632) and the Address Group Add/Edit screen, to maintain address groups in the ZyWALL.
37.1.2 What You Need To Know About Addresses /Groups
Address objects and address groups are used in dynamic routes, firewall rules, application patrol, content filtering, and VPN connection policies. For example, addresses are used to specify where content restrictions apply in content filtering. Please see the respective sections for more information about how address objects and address groups are used in each one.
Address groups are composed of address objects and address groups. The sequence of members in the address group is not important.
See Section 5.5 on page 115 for related information on these screens.
37.2 Address Summary Screen
The address screens are used to create, maintain, and remove addresses. There are the types of address objects.
- HOST - a host address is defined by an IP Address.
- RANGE - a range address is defined by a Starting IP Address and an Ending IP Address.
- SUBNET - a network address is defined by a Network IP address and Netmask subnet mask.
The Address screen provides a summary of all addresses in the ZyWALL. To access this screen, click Object > Address > Address.

Services
38.1 Overview
Use service objects to define TCP applications, UDP applications, and ICMP messages. You can also create service groups to refer to multiple service objects in other features.
38.1.1 What You Can Do in the Services Screens
- Use the Service screens (Section 38.2 on page 636) to view and configure the ZyWALL's list of services and their definitions.
- Use the Service Group screens (Section 38.2 on page 636) to view and configure the ZyWALL's list of service groups.
38.1.2 What You Need to Know About Protocols
IP Protocols
IP protocols are based on the eight-bit protocol field in the IP header. This field represents the next-level protocol that is sent in this packet. This section discusses three of the most common IP protocols.
Computers use Transmission Control Protocol (TCP, IP protocol 6) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP, IP protocol 17) to exchange data with each other. TCP guarantees reliable delivery but is slower and more complex. Some uses are FTP, HTTP, SMTP, and TELNET. UDP is simpler and faster but is less reliable. Some uses are DHCP, DNS, RIP, and SNMP.
TCP creates connections between computers to exchange data. Once the connection is established, the computers exchange data. If data arrives out of sequence or is missing, TCP puts it in sequence or waits for the data to be re-transmitted. Then, the connection is terminated.
In contrast, computers use UDP to send short messages to each other. There is no guarantee that the messages arrive in sequence or that the messages arrive at all.
Both TCP and UDP use ports to identify the source and destination. Each port is a 16-bit number. Some port numbers have been standardized and are used by low-level system processes; many others have no particular meaning.
Unlike TCP and UDP, Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP, IP protocol 1) is mainly used to send error messages or to investigate problems. For example, ICMP is used to send the response if a computer cannot be reached. Another use is ping. ICMP does not guarantee delivery, but networks often treat ICMP messages differently, sometimes looking at the message itself to decide where to send it.
Service Objects and Service Groups
Use service objects to define IP protocols.
- TCP applications
- UDP applications
- ICMP messages
- user-defined services (for other types of IP protocols)
These objects are used in policy routes, firewall rules, and IDP profiles.
Use service groups when you want to create the same rule for several services, instead of creating separate rules for each service. Service groups may consist of services and other service groups. The sequence of members in the service group is not important.

Schedules
39.1 Overview
Use schedules to set up one-time and recurring schedules for policy routes, firewall rules, application patrol, and content filtering. The ZyWALL supports one-time and recurring schedules. One-time schedules are effective only once, while recurring schedules usually repeat. Both types of schedules are based on the current date and time in the ZyWALL.
Note: Schedules are based on the ZyWALL's current date and time.
39.1.1 What You Can Do in the Schedule Screens
- Use the Schedule summary screen (Section 39.2 on page 642) to see a list of all schedules in the ZyWALL.
- Use the One-Time Schedule Add/Edit screen (Section 39.2.1 on page 643) to create or edit a one-time schedule.
- Use the Recurring Schedule Add/Edit screen (Section 39.2.2 on page 644) to create or edit a recurring schedule.
39.1.2 What You Need to Know About Schedules
One-time Schedules
One-time schedules begin on a specific start date and time and end on a specific stop date and time. One-time schedules are useful for long holidays and vacation periods.
Recurring Schedules
Recurring schedules begin at a specific start time and end at a specific stop time on selected days of the week (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday). Recurring schedules always begin and end in the same day. Recurring schedules are useful for defining the workday and off-work hours.

AAA Server
40.1 Overview
You can use a AAA (Authentication, Authorization, Accounting) server to provide access control to your network. The AAA server can be a Active Directory, LDAP, or RADIUS server. Use the AAA Server screens to create and manage objects that contain settings for using individual AAA servers or groups of AAA servers. You use AAA server objects in configuring authentication method objects (see Chapter 41 on page 659).
40.1.1 Directory Service (AD/LDAP) Overview
LDAP/AD allows a client (the ZyWALL) to connect to a server to retrieve information from a directory. A network example is shown next.
Figure 425 Example: Directory Service Client and Server

flowchart
graph LR
A["Database"] --> B["Server"]
B --> C["Client 1"]
B --> D["Client 2"]
The following describes the user authentication procedure via an LDAP/AD server.
1 A user logs in with a user name and password pair.
2 The ZyWALL tries to bind (or log in) to the LDAP/AD server.
3 When the binding process is successful, the ZyWALL checks the user information in the directory against the user name and password pair.
4 If it matches, the user is allowed access. Otherwise, access is blocked.
40.1.2 RADIUS Server Overview
RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) authentication is a popular protocol used to authenticate users by means of an external server instead of (or in addition to) an internal device user database that is limited to the memory capacity of the device. In essence, RADIUS authentication allows you to validate a large number of users from a central location.

40.1.3 ASAS
ASAS (Authenex Strong Authentication System) is a RADIUS server that works with the One-Time Password (OTP) feature. Purchase a ZyWALL OTP package in order to use this feature. The package contains server software and physical OTP tokens (PIN generators). Do the following to use OTP. See the documentation included on the ASAS' CD for details.
1 Install the ASAS server software on a computer.
2 Create user accounts on the ZyWALL and in the ASAS server.
3 Import each token's database file (located on the included CD) into the server.
4 Assign users to OTP tokens (on the ASAS server).
5 Configure the ASAS as a RADIUS server in the ZyWALL's Object > AAA Server screens.
6 Give the OTP tokens to (local or remote) users.
40.1.4 What You Can Do Using The AAA Screens
- Use the Object > AAA Server > Active Directory (or LDAP) screens (Section 40.2.1 on page 651) to configure the Active Directory or LDAP default server settings.
- Use the Object > AAA Server > RADIUS screen (Section 40.4 on page 654) to configure the default external RADIUS server to use for user authentication.
40.1.5 What You Need To Know About AAA Servers
AAA Servers Supported by the ZyWALL
The following lists the types of authentication server the ZyWALL supports.
- Local user database
The ZyWALL uses the built-in local user database to authenticate administrative users logging into the ZyWALL's web configurator or network access users logging into the network through the ZyWALL. You can also use the local user database to authenticate VPN users.
- Directory Service (LDAP/AD)
LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol)/AD (Active Directory) is a directory service that is both a directory and a protocol for controlling access to a network. The directory consists of a database specialized for fast information retrieval and filtering activities. You create and store user profile and login information on the external server.
- RADIUS
RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) authentication is a popular protocol used to authenticate users by means of an external or built-in RADIUS server. RADIUS authentication allows you to validate a large number of users from a central location.
Finding Out More
See Section 6.4.3 on page 129 for an example of how to set up user authentication using a radius server.
40.2 Active Directory or LDAP Default Server Screen
Directory Structure
The directory entries are arranged in a hierarchical order much like a tree structure. Normally, the directory structure reflects the geographical or
organizational boundaries. The following figure shows a basic directory structure branching from countries to organizations to organizational units to individuals.

Distinguished Name (DN)
A DN uniquely identifies an entry in a directory. A DN consists of attribute-value pairs separated by commas. The leftmost attribute is the Relative Distinguished Name (RDN). This provides a unique name for entries that have the same "parent DN" ("cn=domain1.com, ou=Sales, o=MyCompany" in the following examples).
cn=domain1.com, ou = Sales, o=MyCompany, c=US
cn=domain1.com, ou = Sales, o=MyCompany, c=JP
Base DN
A base DN specifies a directory. A base DN usually contains information such as the name of an organization, a domain name and/or country. For example, o=MyCompany, c=UK where o means organization and c means country.
Bind DN
A bind DN is used to authenticate with an LDAP/AD server. For example a bind DN of cn=zywallAdmin allows the ZyWALL to log into the LDAP/AD server using the user name of zywallAdmin. The bind DN is used in conjunction with a bind password. When a bind DN is not specified, the ZyWALL will try to log in as an anonymous user. If the bind password is incorrect, the login will fail.
40.2.1 Configuring Active Directory or LDAP Default Server Settings

Authentication Method
41.1 Overview
Authentication method objects set how the ZyWALL authenticates HTTP/HTTPS clients, peer IPSec routers (extended authentication), L2TP VPN, and wireless clients. Configure authentication method objects to have the ZyWALL use the local user database, and/or the authentication servers and authentication server groups specified by AAA server objects. By default, user accounts created and stored on the ZyWALL are authenticated locally.
41.1.1 What You Can Do Using The Auth. Method Screens
- Use the Object > Auth. Method screen (Section 41.2 on page 660) to view authentication method objects.
- Use the Object > Auth. Method > Add screen (Section 41.3 on page 661) to create a new authentication method object.
Finding Out More
See Section 6.4.3 on page 129 for an example of how to set up user authentication using a radius server.
41.1.2 Before You Begin
Configure AAA server objects (see Chapter 40 on page 647) before you configure authentication method objects.
41.1.3 Example: Selecting a VPN Authentication Method
After you set up an authentication method object in the Auth. Method screens, you can use it in the VPN Gateway screen to authenticate VPN users for establishing a VPN connection. Refer to the chapter on VPN for more information.

Certificates
42.1 Overview
The ZyWALL can use certificates (also called digital IDs) to authenticate users. Certificates are based on public-private key pairs. A certificate contains the certificate owner's identity and public key. Certificates provide a way to exchange public keys for use in authentication.
42.1.1 What You Can Do in the Certificate Screens
- Use the My Certificate screens (see Section 42.2 on page 667 to Section 42.2.3 on page 676) to generate and export self-signed certificates or certification requests and import the ZyWALL's CA-signed certificates.
- Use the Trusted Certificates screens (see Section 42.3 on page 677 to Section 42.3.2 on page 682) to save CA certificates and trusted remote host certificates to the ZyWALL. The ZyWALL will trust any valid certificate that you have imported as a trusted certificate. It will also trust any valid certificate signed by any of the certificates that you have imported as a trusted certificate.
42.1.2 What You Need to Know About Certificates
When using public-key cryptology for authentication, each host has two keys. One key is public and can be made openly available. The other key is private and must be kept secure.
These keys work like a handwritten signature (in fact, certificates are often referred to as “digital signatures”). Only you can write your signature exactly as it should look. When people know what your signature looks like, they can verify whether something was signed by you, or by someone else. In the same way, your private key “writes” your digital signature and your public key allows people to verify whether data was signed by you, or by someone else. This process works as follows.
1 Tim wants to send a message to Jenny. He needs her to be sure that it comes from him, and that the message content has not been altered by anyone else along the way. Tim generates a public key pair (one public key and one private key).
2 Tim keeps the private key and makes the public key openly available. This means that anyone who receives a message seeming to come from Tim can read it and verify whether it is really from him or not.
3 Tim uses his private key to sign the message and sends it to Jenny.
4 Jenny receives the message and uses Tim's public key to verify it. Jenny knows that the message is from Tim, and that although other people may have been able to read the message, no-one can have altered it (because they cannot re-sign the message with Tim's private key).
5 Additionally, Jenny uses her own private key to sign a message and Tim uses Jenny's public key to verify the message.
The ZyWALL uses certificates based on public-key cryptology to authenticate users attempting to establish a connection, not to encrypt the data that you send after establishing a connection. The method used to secure the data that you send through an established connection depends on the type of connection. For example, a VPN tunnel might use the triple DES encryption algorithm.
The certification authority uses its private key to sign certificates. Anyone can then use the certification authority's public key to verify the certificates.
A certification path is the hierarchy of certification authority certificates that validate a certificate. The ZyWALL does not trust a certificate if any certificate on its path has expired or been revoked.
Certification authorities maintain directory servers with databases of valid and revoked certificates. A directory of certificates that have been revoked before the scheduled expiration is called a CRL (Certificate Revocation List). The ZyWALL can check a peer's certificate against a directory server's list of revoked certificates. The framework of servers, software, procedures and policies that handles keys is called PKI (public-key infrastructure).
Advantages of Certificates
Certificates offer the following benefits.
- The ZyWALL only has to store the certificates of the certification authorities that you decide to trust, no matter how many devices you need to authenticate.
- Key distribution is simple and very secure since you can freely distribute public keys and you never need to transmit private keys.
Self-signed Certificates
You can have the ZyWALL act as a certification authority and sign its own certificates.
Factory Default Certificate
The ZyWALL generates its own unique self-signed certificate when you first turn it on. This certificate is referred to in the GUI as the factory default certificate.
Certificate File Formats
Any certificate that you want to import has to be in one of these file formats:
- Binary X.509: This is an ITU-T recommendation that defines the formats for X.509 certificates.
- PEM (Base-64) encoded X.509: This Privacy Enhanced Mail format uses lowercase letters, uppercase letters and numerals to convert a binary X.509 certificate into a printable form.
- Binary PKCS#7: This is a standard that defines the general syntax for data (including digital signatures) that may be encrypted. A PKCS #7 file is used to transfer a public key certificate. The private key is not included. The ZyWALL currently allows the importation of a PKS#7 file that contains a single certificate.
- PEM (Base-64) encoded PKCS#7: This Privacy Enhanced Mail (PEM) format uses lowercase letters, uppercase letters and numerals to convert a binary PKCS#7 certificate into a printable form.
- Binary PKCS#12: This is a format for transferring public key and private key certificates. The private key in a PKCS #12 file is within a password-encrypted envelope. The file's password is not connected to your certificate's public or private passwords. Exporting a PKCS #12 file creates this and you must provide it to decrypt the contents when you import the file into the ZyWALL.
Note: Be careful not to convert a binary file to text during the transfer process. It is easy for this to occur since many programs use text files by default.

• See Section 42.4 on page 683 for certificate background information.
42.1.3 Verifying a Certificate
Before you import a trusted certificate into the ZyWALL, you should verify that you have the correct certificate. You can do this using the certificate's fingerprint. A certificate's fingerprint is a message digest calculated using the MD5 or SHA1 algorithm. The following procedure describes how to check a certificate's fingerprint to verify that you have the actual certificate.
1 Browse to where you have the certificate saved on your computer.
2 Make sure that the certificate has a ".cer" or ".crt" file name extension.

42.4 Certificates Technical Reference
42.4.1 OCSP
OCSP (Online Certificate Status Protocol) allows an application or device to check whether a certificate is valid. With OCSP the ZyWALL checks the status of individual certificates instead of downloading a Certificate Revocation List (CRL). OCSP has two main advantages over a CRL. The first is real-time status information. The second is a reduction in network traffic since the ZyWALL only gets information on the certificates that it needs to verify, not a huge list. When the ZyWALL requests certificate status information, the OCSP server returns a "expired", "current" or "unknown" response.

45.3.1 Pre-defined NTP Time Servers List
When you turn on the ZyWALL for the first time, the date and time start at 2003-01-01 00:00:00. The ZyWALL then attempts to synchronize with one of the following pre-defined list of Network Time Protocol (NTP) time servers.
The ZyWALL continues to use the following pre-defined list of NTP time servers if you do not specify a time server or it cannot synchronize with the time server you specified.
Table 224 Default Time Servers
| 0.pool.ntp.org |
| 1.pool.ntp.org |
| 2.pool.ntp.org |
When the ZyWALL uses the pre-defined list of NTP time servers, it randomly selects one server and tries to synchronize with it. If the synchronization fails, then the ZyWALL goes through the rest of the list in order from the first one tried until either it is successful or all the pre-defined NTP time servers have been tried.
45.3.2 Time Server Synchronization
Click the Synchronize Now button to get the time and date from the time server you specified in the Time Server Address field.

45.5 DNS Overview
DNS (Domain Name System) is for mapping a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice versa. The DNS server is extremely important because without it, you must know the IP address of a machine before you can access it.
45.5.1 DNS Server Address Assignment
The ZyWALL can get the DNS server addresses in the following ways.
- The ISP tells you the DNS server addresses, usually in the form of an information sheet, when you sign up. If your ISP gives you DNS server addresses, manually enter them in the DNS server fields.
- If your ISP dynamically assigns the DNS server IP addresses (along with the ZyWALL's WAN IP address), set the DNS server fields to get the DNS server address from the ISP.
- You can manually enter the IP addresses of other DNS servers.
45.5.2 Configuring the DNS Screen
Click System > DNS to change your ZyWALL's DNS settings. Use the DNS screen to configure the ZyWALL to use a DNS server to resolve domain names for ZyWALL system features like VPN, DDNS and the time server. You can also configure the ZyWALL to accept or discard DNS queries. Use the Network > Interface screens to configure the DNS server information that the ZyWALL sends to the specified DHCP client devices.

| Domain Zone Forwarder | This specifies a DNS server's IP address. The ZyWALL can query the DNS server to resolve domain zones for features like VPN, DDNS and the time server.When the ZyWALL needs to resolve a domain zone, it checks it against the domain zone forwarder entries in the order that they appear in this list. |
| # | This is the index number of the domain zone forwarder record. The ordering of your rules is important as rules are applied in sequence.A hyphen (-) displays for the default domain zone forwarder record. The default record is not configurable. The ZyWALL uses this default record if the domain zone that needs to be resolved does not match any of the other domain zone forwarder records. |
| Domain Zone | A domain zone is a fully qualified domain name without the host. For example, zyxel.com.tw is the domain zone for the www.zyxel.com.tw fully qualified domain name.A “*” means all domain zones. |
| From | This displays whether the DNS server IP address is assigned by the ISP dynamically through a specified interface or configured manually. |

| Service Control | This specifies from which computers and zones you can send DNS queries to the ZyWALL. |
| # | This the index number of the service control rule. The ordering of your rules is important as rules are applied in sequence.The entry with a hyphen (-) instead of a number is the ZyWALL's (non-configurable) default policy. The ZyWALL applies this to traffic that does not match any other configured rule. It is not an editable rule. To apply other behavior, configure a rule that traffic will match so the ZyWALL will not have to use the default policy. |
| Zone | This is the zone on the ZyWALL the user is allowed or denied to access. |
| Address | This is the object name of the IP address(es) with which the computer is allowed or denied to send DNS queries. |

45.5.3 Address Record
An address record contains the mapping of a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) to an IP address. An FQDN consists of a host and domain name. For example, www.zyxel.com is a fully qualified domain name, where "www" is the host, "zyxel" is the second-level domain, and "com" is the top level domain.
mail.myZyXEL.com.tw is also a FQDN, where "mail" is the host, "myZyXEL" is the
third-level domain, "com" is the second-level domain, and "tw" is the top level domain.
The ZyWALL allows you to configure address records about the ZyWALL itself or another device. This way you can keep a record of DNS names and addresses that people on your network may use frequently. If the ZyWALL receives a DNS query for an FQDN for which the ZyWALL has an address record, the ZyWALL can send the IP address in a DNS response without having to query a DNS name server.
45.5.4 PTR Record
A PTR (pointer) record is also called a reverse record or a reverse lookup record. It is a mapping of an IP address to a domain name.
45.5.5 Adding an Address/PTR Record

45.5.6 Domain Zone Forwarder
A domain zone forwarder contains a DNS server's IP address. The ZyWALL can query the DNS server to resolve domain zones for features like VPN, DDNS and the time server. A domain zone is a fully qualified domain name without the host.
For example, zyxel.com.tw is the domain zone for the www.zyxel.com.tw fully qualified domain name.

45.5.8 MX Record
A MX (Mail eXchange) record indicates which host is responsible for the mail for a particular domain, that is, controls where mail is sent for that domain. If you do not configure proper MX records for your domain or other domain, external e-mail from other mail servers will not be able to be delivered to your mail server and vice versa. Each host or domain can have only one MX record, that is, one domain is mapping to one host.

45.6 WWW Overview
The following figure shows secure and insecure management of the ZyWALL coming in from the WAN. HTTPS and SSH access are secure. HTTP, Telnet, and dial-in management access are not secure.

• See Section 5.6.1 on page 116 for related information on these screens.
Note: To allow the ZyWALL to be accessed from a specified computer using a service, make sure you do not have a service control rule or to-ZyWALL firewall rule to block that traffic.
• See To-ZyWALL Rules on page 322 for more on To-ZyWALL firewall rules.
- See Section 6.5 on page 135 for an example of configuring service control to block administrator HTTPS access from all zones except the LAN.
To stop a service from accessing the ZyWALL, clear Enable in the corresponding service screen.
45.6.1 Service Access Limitations
A service cannot be used to access the ZyWALL when:
1 You have disabled that service in the corresponding screen.
2 The allowed IP address (address object) in the Service Control table does not match the client IP address (the ZyWALL disallows the session).
3 The IP address (address object) in the Service Control table is not in the allowed zone or the action is set to Deny.
4 There is a firewall rule that blocks it.
45.6.2 System Timeout
There is a lease timeout for administrators. The ZyWALL automatically logs you out if the management session remains idle for longer than this timeout period. The management session does not time out when a statistics screen is polling.
Each user is also forced to log in the ZyWALL for authentication again when the reauthentication time expires.
You can change the timeout settings in the User/Group screens.
45.6.3 HTTPS
You can set the ZyWALL to use HTTP or HTTPS (HTTPS adds security) for web configurator sessions. Specify which zones allow web configurator access and from which IP address the access can come.
HTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer, or HTTP over SSL) is a web protocol that encrypts and decrypts web pages. Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is an application-level protocol that enables secure transactions of data by ensuring confidentiality (an unauthorized party cannot read the transferred data), authentication (one party can identify the other party) and data integrity (you know if data has been changed).
It relies upon certificates, public keys, and private keys (see Chapter 42 on page 663 for more information).
HTTPS on the ZyWALL is used so that you can securely access the ZyWALL using the web configurator. The SSL protocol specifies that the HTTPS server (the ZyWALL) must always authenticate itself to the HTTPS client (the computer which requests the HTTPS connection with the ZyWALL), whereas the HTTPS client only should authenticate itself when the HTTPS server requires it to do so (select
Authenticate Client Certificates in the WWW screen). Authenticate Client Certificates is optional and if selected means the HTTPS client must send the ZyWALL a certificate. You must apply for a certificate for the browser from a CA that is a trusted CA on the ZyWALL.
Please refer to the following figure.
1 HTTPS connection requests from an SSL-aware web browser go to port 443 (by default) on the ZyWALL's web server.
2 HTTP connection requests from a web browser go to port 80 (by default) on the ZyWALL's web server.

45.6.4 Configuring WWW
Click System > WWW to open the WWW screen. Use this screen to specify from which zones you can access the ZyWALL using HTTP or HTTPS. You can also specify which IP addresses the access can come from.
Note: Admin Service Control deals with management access (to the web configurator).
User Service Control deals with user access to the ZyWALL (logging into SSL VPN for example).

The following describes the main reasons that your browser displays warnings about the ZyWALL's HTTPS server certificate and what you can do to avoid seeing the warnings.
- The issuing certificate authority of the ZyWALL's HTTPS server certificate is not one of the browser's trusted certificate authorities. The issuing certificate authority of the ZyWALL's factory default certificate is the ZyWALL itself since the certificate is a self-signed certificate.
- For the browser to trust a self-signed certificate, import the self-signed certificate into your operating system as a trusted certificate.
- To have the browser trust the certificates issued by a certificate authority, import the certificate authority's certificate into your operating system as a trusted certificate. Refer to Appendix D on page 881 for details.

You can use SSH (Secure SHell) to securely access the ZyWALL's command line interface. Specify which zones allow SSH access and from which IP address the access can come.
SSH is a secure communication protocol that combines authentication and data encryption to provide secure encrypted communication between two hosts over an unsecured network. In the following figure, computer A on the Internet uses SSH to securely connect to the WAN port of the ZyWALL for a management session.

45.7.1 How SSH Works
The following figure is an example of how a secure connection is established between two remote hosts using SSH v1.

1 Host Identification
The SSH client sends a connection request to the SSH server. The server identifies itself with a host key. The client encrypts a randomly generated session key with the host key and server key and sends the result back to the server.
The client automatically saves any new server public keys. In subsequent connections, the server public key is checked against the saved version on the client computer.
2 Encryption Method
Once the identification is verified, both the client and server must agree on the type of encryption method to use.
3 Authentication and Data Transmission
After the identification is verified and data encryption activated, a secure tunnel is established between the client and the server. The client then sends its authentication information (user name and password) to the server to log in to the server.
45.7.2 SSH Implementation on the ZyWALL
Your ZyWALL supports SSH versions 1 and 2 using RSA authentication and four encryption methods (AES, 3DES, Archfour and Blowfish). The SSH server is implemented on the ZyWALL for management using port 22 (by default).
45.7.3 Requirements for Using SSH
You must install an SSH client program on a client computer (Windows or Linux operating system) that is used to connect to the ZyWALL over SSH.
45.7.4 Configuring SSH
Click System > SSH to change your ZyWALL's Secure Shell settings. Use this screen to specify from which zones SSH can be used to manage the ZyWALL. You can also specify from which IP addresses the access can come.
Note: It is recommended that you disable Telnet and FTP when you configure SSH for secure connections.

An SNMP managed network consists of two main types of component: agents and a manager.
An agent is a management software module that resides in a managed device (the ZyWALL). An agent translates the local management information from the managed device into a form compatible with SNMP. The manager is the console through which network administrators perform network management functions. It executes applications that control and monitor managed devices.
The managed devices contain object variables/managed objects that define each piece of information to be collected about a device. Examples of variables include such as number of packets received, node port status etc. A Management Information Base (MIB) is a collection of managed objects. SNMP allows a manager and agents to communicate for the purpose of accessing these objects.
SNMP itself is a simple request/response protocol based on the manager/agent model. The manager issues a request and the agent returns responses using the following protocol operations:
- Get - Allows the manager to retrieve an object variable from the agent.
- GetNext - Allows the manager to retrieve the next object variable from a table or list within an agent. In SNMPv1, when a manager wants to retrieve all elements of a table from an agent, it initiates a Get operation, followed by a series of GetNext operations.
- Set - Allows the manager to set values for object variables within an agent.
- Trap - Used by the agent to inform the manager of some events.
45.10.1 Supported MIBs
The ZyWALL supports MIB II that is defined in RFC-1213 and RFC-1215. The ZyWALL also supports private MIBs (zywall.mib and zyxel-zywall-ZLD-Common.mib) to collect information about CPU and memory usage and VPN total throughput. The focus of the MIBs is to let administrators collect statistical data and monitor status and performance. You can download the ZyWALL's MIBs from www.zyxel.com.
45.10.2 SNMP Traps
The ZyWALL will send traps to the SNMP manager when any one of the following events occurs.
Table 237 SNMP Traps
| OBJECT LABEL | OBJECT ID | DESCRIPTION |
| Cold Start | 1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.1 | This trap is sent when the ZyWALL is turned on or an agent restarts. |
| linkDown | 1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.3 | This trap is sent when the Ethernet link is down. |
| linkUp | 1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.4 | This trap is sent when the Ethernet link is up. |
| authenticationFailure | 1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.5 | This trap is sent when an SNMP request comes from non-authenticated hosts. |
45.10.3 Configuring SNMP
To change your ZyWALL's SNMP settings, click System > SNMP tab. The screen appears as shown. Use this screen to configure your SNMP settings, including from
which zones SNMP can be used to access the ZyWALL. You can also specify from which IP addresses the access can come.

45.11 Dial-in Management
Connect an external serial modem to the AUX port to provide a management connection in case the ZyWALL's other WAN connections are down. This is like an auxiliary interface, except it is used for management connections coming into the ZyWALL instead of as a backup WAN connection.
AT Command Strings
For regular telephone lines, the default Dial string tells the modem that the line uses tone dialing. ATDT is the command for a switch that requires tone dialing. If your switch requires pulse dialing, change the string to ATDP.
DTR Signal
The majority of WAN devices default to hanging up the current call when the DTR (Data Terminal Ready) signal is dropped by the DTE. When the Drop DTR When Hang Up check box is selected, the ZyWALL uses this hardware signal to force the WAN device to hang up, in addition to issuing the drop command ATH.
Response Strings
The response strings tell the ZyWALL the tags, or labels, immediately preceding the various call parameters sent from the serial modem. The response strings
have not been standardized; please consult the documentation of your serial modem to find the correct tags.

You can apply a configuration file or run a shell script without the ZyWALL restarting. You can store multiple configuration files and shell script files on the ZyWALL. You can edit configuration files or shell scripts in a text editor and upload them to the ZyWALL. Configuration files use a .conf extension and shell scripts use a .zysh extension.
46.1.1 What You Can Do in the File Manager Screens
- Use the Configuration File screen (see Section 46.2 on page 752) to store and name configuration files. You can also download configuration files from the ZyWALL to your computer and upload configuration files from your computer to the ZyWALL.
- Use the Firmware Package screen (see Section 46.3 on page 756) to check your current firmware version and upload firmware to the ZyWALL.
- Use the Shell Script screen (see Section 46.4 on page 758) to store, name, download, upload and run shell script files.
46.1.2 What you Need to Know About the File Manager
Configuration Files and Shell Scripts
When you apply a configuration file, the ZyWALL uses the factory default settings for any features that the configuration file does not include. When you run a shell script, the ZyWALL only applies the commands that it contains. Other settings do not change.
These files have the same syntax, which is also identical to the way you run CLI commands manually. An example is shown below.

While configuration files and shell scripts have the same syntax, the ZyWALL applies configuration files differently than it runs shell scripts. This is explained below.
Table 242 Configuration Files and Shell Scripts in the ZyWALL
Configuration Files (.conf) Shell Scripts (.zysh)
• Resets to default configuration.
• Goes into CLI Configuration mode.
• Runs the commands in the configuration file.
• Goes into CLI Privilege mode.
• Runs the commands in the shell script.
You have to run the example in Figure 496 on page 750 as a shell script because the first command is run in Privilege mode. If you remove the first command, you have to run the example as a configuration file because the rest of the commands are executed in Configuration mode.
Comments in Configuration Files or Shell Scripts
In a configuration file or shell script, use “#” or “!” as the first character of a command line to have the ZyWALL treat the line as a comment.
Your configuration files or shell scripts can use "exit" or a command line consisting of a single "!" to have the ZyWALL exit sub command mode.
Note: “exit” or “!” must follow sub commands if it is to make the ZyWALL exit sub command mode.
Line 3 in the following example exits sub command mode.
interface gel
ip address dhcp
!
Lines 1 and 3 in the following example are comments and line 4 exits sub command mode.
!
interface gel
<h1 id="this-interface-is-a-dhcp-client">this interface is a DHCP client</h1>
!
Lines 1 and 2 are comments. Line 5 exits sub command mode.
! this is from Joe
<h1 id="on-20080405">on 2008/04/05</h1>
interface gel
ip address dhcp
!
Errors in Configuration Files or Shell Scripts
When you apply a configuration file or run a shell script, the ZyWALL processes the file line-by-line. The ZyWALL checks the first line and applies the line if no errors are detected. Then it continues with the next line. If the ZyWALL finds an error, it stops applying the configuration file or shell script and generates a log.
You can change the way a configuration file or shell script is applied. Include setenv stop-on-error off in the configuration file or shell script. The ZyWALL ignores any errors in the configuration file or shell script and applies all of the valid commands. The ZyWALL still generates a log for any errors.
46.2 The Configuration File Screen
Click Maintenance > File Manager > Configuration File to open the Configuration File screen. Use the Configuration File screen to store, run, and name configuration files. You can also download configuration files from the ZyWALL to your computer and upload configuration files from your computer to the ZyWALL.
Once your ZyWALL is configured and functioning properly, it is highly recommended that you back up your configuration file before making further configuration changes. The backup configuration file will be useful in case you need to return to your previous settings.
Configuration File Flow at Restart
- If there is not a startup-config.conf when you restart the ZyWALL (whether through a management interface or by physically turning the power off and back on), the ZyWALL uses the system-default.conf configuration file with the ZyWALL's default settings.
- If there is a startup-config.conf, the ZyWALL checks it for errors and applies it. If there are no errors, the ZyWALL uses it and copies it to the lastgood.conf configuration file as a back up file. If there is an error, the ZyWALL generates a log and copies the startup-config.conf configuration file to the startup-config-bad.conf configuration file and tries the existing lastgood.conf configuration file. If there isn't a lastgood.conf configuration file or it also has an error, the ZyWALL applies the system-default.conf configuration file.
- You can change the way the startup-config.conf file is applied. Include the setenv-startup stop-on-error off command. The ZyWALL ignores any errors in the startup-config.conf file and applies all of the valid commands. The ZyWALL still generates a log for any errors.

46.3 The Firmware Package Screen
Click Maintenance > File Manager > Firmware Package to open the Firmware Package screen. Use the Firmware Package screen to check your current firmware version and upload firmware to the ZyWALL.
Note: The web configurator is the recommended method for uploading firmware. You only need to use the command line interface if you need to recover the firmware. See the CLI Reference Guide for how to determine if you need to recover the firmware and how to recover it.
Find the firmware package at www.zyxel.com in a file that (usually) uses the system model name with a .bin extension, for example, "zywall.bin".
The ZyWALL's firmware package cannot go through the ZyWALL when you enable the anti-virus Destroy compressed files that could not be decompressed option. The ZyWALL classifies the firmware package as not being able to be decompressed and deletes it. You can upload the firmware package to the ZyWALL with the option enabled, so you only need to clear the Destroy compressed files that could not be decompressed option while you download the firmware package. See Section 29.2.1 on page 479 for more on the anti-virus Destroy compressed files that could not be decompressed option.
The firmware update can take up to five minutes. Do not turn off or reset the ZyWALL while the firmware update is in progress!

47.1 Overview
This chapter provides general information about the ZyWALL's log feature.
Note: When a log reaches the maximum number of log messages, new log messages automatically overwrite existing log messages, starting with the oldest existing log message first.
- For individual log descriptions, see Appendix A on page 811.
- For the maximum number of log messages in the ZyWALL, see Table 262 on page 804.
47.2 What You Can Do In The Log Screens
- Use the Maintenance > View Log screen (Section 47.3 on page 761) to view current log messages. You can change the way the log is displayed, you can e-mail the log, and you can also clear the log in this screen.
- Use the Maintenance > Log Settings screen (Section 47.4 on page 764) to specify which log messages are e-mailed, where they are e-mailed, and how often they are e-mailed.
47.3 View Log Screen
- Log messages are stored in two separate logs, one for regular log messages and one for debugging messages. In the regular log, you can look at all the log messages by selecting All Logs, or you can select a specific category of log messages (for example, firewall or user). You can also look at the debugging log by selecting Debug Log. All debugging messages have the same priority.
To access this screen, click Maintenance > View Log. The log is displayed in the following screen.

47.4 Log Setting Screens
The Log Setting screens control log messages and alerts. A log message stores the information for viewing (for example, in the View Log tab) or regular e-mailing later, and an alert is e-mailed immediately. Usually, alerts are used for events that require more serious attention, such as system errors and attacks.
The ZyWALL provides a system log and supports e-mail profiles and remote syslog servers. The system log is available on the View Log tab, the e-mail profiles are used to mail log messages to the specified destinations, and the other four logs are stored on specified syslog servers.
The Log Setting tab also controls what information is saved in each log. For the system log, you can also specify which log messages are e-mailed, where they are e-mailed, and how often they are e-mailed.
For alerts, the Log Settings tab controls which events generate alerts and where alerts are e-mailed.
The Log Settings Summary screen provides a summary of all the settings. You can use the Log Settings Edit screen to maintain the detailed settings (such as log categories, e-mail addresses, server names, etc.) for any log. Alternatively, if you want to edit what events is included in each log, you can also use the Active Log Summary screen to edit this information for all logs at the same time.

48.1 Overview
This chapter provides information about the report screens. Use the Report screens to start or stop data collection and view various statistics about traffic passing through your ZyWALL.
Note: Data collection may decrease the ZyWALL's traffic throughput rate.
48.1.1 What You Can Do in the Report Screens
- Use the Traffic Statistics screen (see Section 48.2 on page 775) to start or stop data collection and view statistics.
- Use the Session screen (see Section 48.3 on page 778) to view sessions by user or service.
- Use the Anti-Virus screen (see Section 48.4 on page 781) to start or stop data collection and view virus statistics.
- Use the IDP screen (Section 48.5 on page 783) to start or stop data collection and view IDP statistics.
- Use the Anti-Spam screen (Section 48.7 on page 787) to start or stop data collection and view spam statistics.
- Use the Email Daily Report screen (Section 48.8 on page 790) to configure where and how to send daily reports and what reports to send.
48.2 The Traffic Statistics Screen
Click Maintenance > Report > Traffic Statistics to display the Traffic
Statistics screen. This screen provides basic information about the following for example:
- Most-visited Web sites and the number of times each one was visited. This count may not be accurate in some cases because the ZyWALL counts HTTP GET packets. Please see Table 251 on page 776 for more information.
- Most-used protocols or service ports and the amount of traffic on each one
• LAN IP with heaviest traffic and how much traffic has been sent to and from each one
You use the Traffic Statistics screen to tell the ZyWALL when to start and when to stop collecting information for these reports. You cannot schedule data collection; you have to start and stop it manually in the Traffic Statistics screen.

50.1 Overview
Use this to restart the device (for example, if the device begins behaving erratically). See also Section 1.4 on page 37 for information on different ways to start and stop the ZyWALL.
50.1.1 What You Need To Know About Reboot
If you applied changes in the Web configurator, these were saved automatically and do not change when you reboot. If you made changes in the CLI, however, you have to use the write command to save the configuration before you reboot. Otherwise, the changes are lost when you reboot.
Reboot is different to reset; (see Section 51.1 on page 799) reset returns the device to its default configuration.
50.2 The Reboot Screen
The Reboot screen is part of the Web configurator so that remote users can restart the device. To access this screen, click Maintenance > Reboot.

You can also use the CLI command reboot to restart the ZyWALL.
Troubleshooting
This chapter offers some suggestions to solve problems you might encounter.
- You can also refer to the logs (see Chapter 51 on page 797).
- For individual log descriptions, Appendix A on page 811.
For the order in which the ZyWALL applies its features and checks, see Section 2.2 on page 41. I cannot set up an IPSec VPN tunnel to another device.
If the IPSec tunnel does not build properly, the problem is likely a configuration error at one of the IPSec routers. Log into both ZyXEL IPSec routers and check the settings in each field methodically and slowly. Make sure both the ZyWALL and remote IPSec router have the same security settings for the VPN tunnel. It may help to display the settings for both routers side-by-side.
Here are some general suggestions. See also Chapter 21 on page 339.
- The system log can often help to identify a configuration problem.
- If the sites are/were previously connected using a leased line or ISDN router, physically disconnect these devices from the network before testing your new VPN connection. The old route may have been learnt by RIP and would take priority over the new VPN connection.
- To test whether or not a tunnel is working, ping from a computer at one site to a computer at the other.
Before doing so, ensure that both computers have Internet access (via the IPSec routers). - It is also helpful to have a way to look at the packets that are being sent and received by the ZyWALL and remote IPSec router (for example, by using a packet sniffer).
Check the configuration for the following ZyWALL features.
- The ZyWALL does not put IPSec SAs in the routing table. You must create a policy route for each VPN tunnel. See Chapter 12 on page 249.
-
Make sure the To-ZyWALL firewall rules allow IPSec VPN traffic to the ZyWALL. IKE uses UDP port 500, AH uses IP protocol 51, and ESP uses IP protocol 50.
-
The ZyWALL supports UDP port 500 and UDP port 4500 for NAT traversal. If you enable this, make sure the To-ZyWALL firewall rules allow UDP port 4500 too.
- Make sure regular firewall rules allow traffic between the VPN tunnel and the rest of the network. Regular firewall rules check packets the ZyWALL sends before the ZyWALL encrypts them and check packets the ZyWALL receives after the ZyWALL decrypts them. This depends on the zone to which you assign the VPN tunnel and the zone from which and to which traffic may be routed.
- If you set up a VPN tunnel across the Internet, make sure your ISP supports AH or ESP (whichever you are using).
- If you have the ZyWALL and remote IPSec router use certificates to authenticate each other, make sure they trust each other's certificates. If the ZyWALL's certificate is self-signed, import it into the remote IPsec router. If it is signed by a CA, make sure the remote IPsec router trusts that CA. The ZyWALL uses one of its Trusted Certificates to authenticate the remote IPSec router's certificate. The trusted certificate can be the remote IPSec router's self-signed certificate or that of a trusted CA that signed the remote IPSec router's certificate.
I cannot set up an L2TP VPN tunnel.
1 Make sure you have configured L2TP correctly on the remote user computers. See Section 27.6 on page 420 for examples.
2 Make sure you configured an appropriate policy route on the ZyWALL.
3 Make sure there is not a firewall or NAT router between the ZyWALL and the remote users.
4 Make sure the remote users are using public IP addresses.
The VPN connection is up but VPN traffic cannot be transmitted through the VPN tunnel.
Routing policies define how the ZyWALL forwards packets to their destinations. You must create a policy route for the ZyWALL to route VPN traffic through a VPN tunnel to the remote network.
The VPN wizard automatically creates a corresponding policy route. If you use the VPN > IPSec VPN or VPN > L2TP VPN screens to set up a VPN tunnel, you need to manually configure a policy route for the VPN tunnel.
I cannot download the ZyWALL's firmware package.
The ZyWALL's firmware package cannot go through the ZyWALL when you enable the anti-virus Destroy compressed files that could not be decompressed option. The ZyWALL classifies the firmware package as not being able to be decompressed and deletes it.
You can upload the firmware package to the ZyWALL with the option enabled, so you only need to clear the Destroy compressed files that could not be decompressed option while you download the firmware package. See Section 29.2.1 on page 479 for more on the anti-virus Destroy compressed files that could not be decompressed option.
I changed the LAN IP address and can no longer access the Internet.
The ZyWALL automatically updates address objects based on an interface's IP address, subnet, or gateway if the interface's IP address settings change. However, you need to manually edit any address objects for your LAN that are not based on the interface.
There is an audible alarm and one of the PWR lights is red.
One of the power modules is not supplying power. Press the BUZZER RESET button on the ZyWALL's front panel to stop the audible alarm.
Check the power connections. Make sure that you have both power cords connected to the ZyWALL and plugged into appropriate power sources. Also make sure you have the power sources and both of the ZyWALL's power switches turned on.
Replace the ZyWALL power module that has a red PWR light. See Section 51.2 on page 800 for how to replace a power module.
51.1 Resetting the ZyWALL
If you cannot access the ZyWALL by any method, try restarting it by disconnecting and reconnecting the power. If you still cannot access the ZyWALL by any method
or you forget the administrator password(s), you can reset the ZyWALL to its factory-default settings. Any configuration files or shell scripts that you saved on the ZyWALL should still be available afterwards.
Use the following procedure to reset the ZyWALL to its factory-default settings. This overwrites the settings in the startup-config.conf file with the settings in the system-default.conf file.
Note: This procedure removes the current configuration.
If you want to reboot the device without changing the current configuration, see Chapter 50 on page 795.
1 Make sure the SYS LED is on and not blinking.
2 Press the RESET button and hold it until the SYS LED begins to blink. (This usually takes about five seconds.)
3 Release the RESET button, and wait for the ZyWALL to restart.
You should be able to access the ZyWALL using the default settings.
51.2 Changing a Power Module
The ZyWALL has two power modules. It can continue operating on a single power module if one fails. The power modules are near the top of the front panel of the main chassis. Obtain ZyWALL power modules from your local vendor. Use the following procedure to change a power module.
1 Make sure that the power module you want to disconnect has the power switch in the off position. You only need to turn off the power module that has failed. The ZyWALL can continue operating on power from the other power module.
2 Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet.
3 Disconnect the power cord from the ZyWALL's power module.
4 Use a Philips screwdriver to remove the power module's retaining screw.

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2.1, February 1999
Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. [This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence the version number 2.1.
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.
This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get
it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these rights. These restrictions
translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know that what they have is not the original version, so that the original author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be introduced by others.
Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.
Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those libraries into non-free programs.
When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with the library.
We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain special circumstances.
For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License. In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating system.
Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run that program using a modified version of the Library.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must be combined with the library in order to run.
GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
- This License Agreement applies to any software library or other program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License").
Each licensee is addressed as "you".
A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables. The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".)
"Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the library. Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they
are outside its scope. The act of running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does and what the program that uses the Library does.
-
You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the Library. You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
-
You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: a) The modified work must itself be a software library. b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, in the event an application does not supply such function or table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful. (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any application-supplied function or table used by this function must be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square root function must still compute square roots.) These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
it. Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Library. In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.
-
You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in these notices. Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy. This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the Library into a program that is not a library.
-
You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange. If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to distribute the source code, even though third parties are not
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
- A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the library". The executable is therefore covered by this License. Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables. When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not. Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law. If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the Library will still fall under Section 6.) Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6. Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.
- As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications. You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one of these things: a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding
machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application to use the modified definitions.) b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a copy of the library already present on the user's computer system, rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2) will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if the user installs one, as long as the modified version is interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with. c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give the same user the materials specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost of performing this distribution. d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above specified materials from the same place. e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these materials or that you have already sent this user a copy. For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception, the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.
It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot use both them and the Library together in an executable that you distribute.
- You may place library facilities that are a work based on the Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined library, provided that the separate distribution of
the work based on the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise permitted, and provided that you do these two things: a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the Sections above. b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
-
You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
-
You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Library or works based on it.
-
Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
-
If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Library. If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply, and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the
wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice. This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.
-
If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
-
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a license version number, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
-
If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
NO WARRANTY
-
BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Version 2, June 1991

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you
modify it. For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software. Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
-
This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
-
You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program. You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
-
You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications
or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program. In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.
- You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, c) Accompany it with the
information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the
scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable. If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
-
You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
-
You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.
-
Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.
-
If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit
royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice. This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.
-
If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
-
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
-
If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
NO WARRANTY
- BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF
ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
- IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

3. Distribution Obligations.
3.1. Application of License.
The Modifications which You create or to which You contribute are governed by the terms of this License, including without limitation Section 2.2. The Source Code version of Covered Code may be distributed only under the terms of this License or a future version of this License released under Section 6.1, and You must include a copy of this License with every copy of the Source Code You distribute. You may not offer or impose any terms on any Source Code version that alters or restricts the applicable version of this License or the recipients' rights hereunder. However, You may include an additional document offering the additional rights described in Section 3.5.
3.2. Availability of Source Code.
Any Modification which You create or to which You contribute must be made available in Source Code form under the terms of this License either on the same media as an Executable version or via an accepted Electronic Distribution
Mechanism to anyone to whom you made an Executable version available; and if made available via Electronic Distribution Mechanism, must remain available for at least twelve (12) months after the date it initially became available, or at least six (6) months after a subsequent version of that particular Modification has been made available to such recipients. You are responsible for ensuring that the Source Code version remains available even if the Electronic Distribution Mechanism is maintained by a third party.
3.3. Description of Modifications.
You must cause all Covered Code to which You contribute to contain a file documenting the changes You made to create that Covered Code and the date of any change. You must include a prominent statement that the Modification is derived, directly or indirectly, from Original Code provided by the Initial Developer and including the name of the Initial Developer in (a) the Source Code, and (b) in any notice in an Executable version or related documentation in which You describe the origin or ownership of the Covered Code.
3.4. Intellectual Property Matters
(a) Third Party Claims
If Contributor has knowledge that a license under a third party's intellectual property rights is required to exercise the rights granted by such Contributor under Sections 2.1 or 2.2, Contributor must include a text file with the Source Code distribution titled "LEGAL" which describes the claim and the party making the claim in sufficient detail that a recipient will know whom to contact. If Contributor obtains such knowledge after the Modification is made available as described in Section 3.2, Contributor shall promptly modify the LEGAL file in all copies Contributor makes available thereafter and shall take other steps (such as notifying appropriate mailing lists or newsgroups) reasonably calculated to inform those who received the Covered Code that new knowledge has been obtained.
(b) Contributor APIs
If Contributor's Modifications include an application programming interface and Contributor has knowledge of patent licenses which are reasonably necessary to implement that API, Contributor must also include this information in the legal file.
(c) Representations.
Contributor represents that, except as disclosed pursuant to Section 3.4 (a) above, Contributor believes that Contributor's Modifications are Contributor's original creation(s) and/or Contributor has sufficient rights to grant the rights conveyed by this License.
3.5. Required Notices.
You must duplicate the notice in Exhibit A in each file of the Source Code. If it is not possible to put such notice in a particular Source Code file due to its structure, then You must include such notice in a location (such as a relevant directory) where a user would be likely to look for such a notice. If You created one or more Modification(s) You may add your name as a Contributor to the notice described in Exhibit A. You must also duplicate this License in any documentation for the Source Code where You describe recipients' rights or ownership rights relating to Covered Code. You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of Covered Code. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on behalf of the Initial Developer or any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear than any such warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligation is offered by You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify the Initial Developer and every Contributor for any liability incurred by the Initial Developer or such Contributor as a result of warranty, support, indemnity or liability terms You offer.
3.6. Distribution of Executable Versions.
You may distribute Covered Code in Executable form only if the requirements of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5 have been met for that Covered Code, and if You include a notice stating that the Source Code version of the Covered Code is available under the terms of this License, including a description of how and where You have fulfilled the obligations of Section 3.2. The notice must be conspicuously included in any notice in an Executable version, related documentation or collateral in which You describe recipients' rights relating to the Covered Code. You may distribute the Executable version of Covered Code or ownership rights under a license of Your choice, which may contain terms different from this License, provided that You are in compliance with the terms of this License and that the license for the Executable version does not attempt to limit or alter the recipient's rights in the Source Code version from the rights set forth in this License. If You distribute the Executable version under a different license You must make it absolutely clear that any terms which differ from this License are offered by You alone, not by the Initial Developer or any Contributor. You hereby agree to indemnify the Initial Developer and every Contributor for any liability incurred by the Initial Developer or such Contributor as a result of any such terms You offer.
3.7. Larger Works.
You may create a Larger Work by combining Covered Code with other code not governed by the terms of this License and distribute the Larger Work as a single product. In such a case, You must make sure the requirements of this License are fulfilled for the Covered Code.
4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation.
If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this License with respect to some or all of the Covered Code due to statute, judicial order, or
regulation then You must: (a) comply with the terms of this License to the maximum extent possible; and (b) describe the limitations and the code they affect. Such description must be included in the legal file described in Section 3.4 and must be included with all distributions of the Source Code. Except to the extent prohibited by statute or regulation, such description must be sufficiently detailed for a recipient of ordinary skill to be able to understand it.
- Application of this License.
This License applies to code to which the Initial Developer has attached the notice in Exhibit A and to related Covered Code.
- Versions of the License.
6.1. New Versions
Netscape Communications Corporation ("Netscape") may publish revised and/or new versions of the License from time to time. Each version will be given a distinguishing version number.
6.2. Effect of New Versions
Once Covered Code has been published under a particular version of the License, You may always continue to use it under the terms of that version. You may also choose to use such Covered Code under the terms of any subsequent version of the License published by Netscape. No one other than Netscape has the right to modify the terms applicable to Covered Code created under this License.
6.3. Derivative Works
If You create or use a modified version of this License (which you may only do in order to apply it to code which is not already Covered Code governed by this License), You must (a) rename Your license so that the phrases "Mozilla", "MOZILLAPL", "MOZPL", "Netscape", "MPL", "NPL" or any confusingly similar phrase do not appear in your license (except to note that your license differs from this License) and (b) otherwise make it clear that Your version of the license contains terms which differ from the Mozilla Public License and Netscape Public License. (Filling in the name of the Initial Developer, Original Code or Contributor in the notice described in Exhibit A shall not of themselves be deemed to be modifications of this License.)
- Disclaimer of warranty
Covered code is provided under this license on an "as is" basis, without warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied, including, without limitation, warranties that the covered code is free of defects, merchantable, fit for a particular purpose or non-infringing. The entire risk as to the quality and performance of the covered code is with you. Should any covered code prove defective in any respect, you
(not the initial developer or any other contributor) assume the cost of any necessary servicing, repair or correction. This disclaimer of warranty constitutes an essential part of this license. No use of any covered code is authorized hereunder except under this disclaimer.
8. Termination
8.1. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate automatically if You fail to comply with terms herein and fail to cure such breach within 30 days of becoming aware of the breach. All sublicenses to the Covered Code which are properly granted shall survive any termination of this License. Provisions which, by their nature, must remain in effect beyond the termination of this License shall survive.
8.2. If You initiate litigation by asserting a patent infringement claim (excluding declaratory judgment actions) against Initial Developer or a Contributor (the Initial Developer or Contributor against whom You file such action is referred to as "Participant") alleging that:
such Participant's Contributor Version directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then any and all rights granted by such Participant to You under Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 of this License shall, upon 60 days notice from Participant terminate prospectively, unless if within 60 days after receipt of notice You either: (i) agree in writing to pay Participant a mutually agreeable reasonable royalty for Your past and future use of Modifications made by such Participant, or (ii) withdraw Your litigation claim with respect to the Contributor Version against such Participant. If within 60 days of notice, a reasonable royalty and payment arrangement are not mutually agreed upon in writing by the parties or the litigation claim is not withdrawn, the rights granted by Participant to You under Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 automatically terminate at the expiration of the 60 day notice period specified above.
any software, hardware, or device, other than such Participant's Contributor Version, directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then any rights granted to You by such Participant under Sections 2.1(b) and 2.2(b) are revoked effective as of the date You first made, used, sold, distributed, or had made, Modifications made by that Participant.
8.3. If You assert a patent infringement claim against Participant alleging that such Participant's Contributor Version directly or indirectly infringes any patent where such claim is resolved (such as by license or settlement) prior to the initiation of patent infringement litigation, then the reasonable value of the licenses granted by such Participant under Sections 2.1 or 2.2 shall be taken into account in determining the amount or value of any payment or license.
8.4. In the event of termination under Sections 8.1 or 8.2 above, all end user license agreements (excluding distributors and resellers) which have been validly
granted by You or any distributor hereunder prior to termination shall survive termination.
9. Limitation of liability
Under no circumstances and under no legal theory, whether tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise, shall you, the initial developer, any other contributor, or any distributor of covered code, or any supplier of any of such parties, be liable to any person for any indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages of any character including, without limitation, damages for loss of goodwill, work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all other commercial damages or losses, even if such party shall have been informed of the possibility of such damages. This limitation of liability shall not apply to liability for death or personal injury resulting from such party's negligence to the extent applicable law prohibits such limitation. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so this exclusion and limitation may not apply to you.
10. U.S. government end users
The Covered Code is a "commercial item," as that term is defined in 48 C.F.R. 2.101 (Oct. 1995), consisting of "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software documentation," as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212 (Sept. 1995). Consistent with 48 C.F.R. 12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4 (June 1995), all U.S. Government End Users acquire Covered Code with only those rights set forth herein.
11. Miscellaneous
This License represents the complete agreement concerning subject matter hereof. If any provision of this License is held to be unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable. This License shall be governed by California law provisions (except to the extent applicable law, if any, provides otherwise), excluding its conflict-of-law provisions. With respect to disputes in which at least one party is a citizen of, or an entity chartered or registered to do business in the United States of America, any litigation relating to this License shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts of the Northern District of California, with venue lying in Santa Clara County, California, with the losing party responsible for costs, including without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. Any law or regulation which provides that the language of a contract shall be construed against the drafter shall not apply to this License.
