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. 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, content filtering,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 37 for a more detailed overview of the ZyWALL's features.
The ZyWALL provides excellent throughput with the reliability of dual WAN Gigabit Ethernet ports and load balancing. You can also use a 3G cellular USB (not included) for a third WAN connection.
The ZyWALL lets you set up multiple networks for your company. The DeMilitarized Zone (DMZ) increases LAN security by providing separate ports for connecting publicly accessible servers. The ZyWALL also provides two separate LAN networks. You can set ports to be part of the LAN1, WLAN, or DMZ. Alternatively, you can deploy the ZyWALL as a transparent firewall in an existing network with minimal configuration.
1.2 Wall-mounting
Do the following to attach your ZyWALL to a wall.
1 Screw the two screws provided with your ZyWALL into the wall 150~mm apart (see the figure in step 2). Use screws with 6mm 8mm ( 0.24'' 0.31'' ) wide heads. Do not screw the screws all the way in to the wall; leave a small gap between the head of the screw and the wall.
The gap must be big enough for the screw heads to slide into the screw slots and the connection cables to run down the back of the ZyWALL.
Note: Make sure the screws are securely fixed to the wall and strong enough to hold the weight of the ZyWALL with the connection cables.
2 Align the holes on the back of the ZyWALL with the screws on the wall. Hang the ZyWALL on the screws.

The Web Configurator allows easy ZyWALL setup and management using an Internet browser. This User's Guide provides information about the Web Configurator.

Figure 2 Managing the ZyWALL: Web Configurator
Command-Line Interface (CLI)
The CLI allows you to use text-based commands to configure the ZyWALL. You can access it using remote management (for example, SSH or Telnet) or via the
console port. See the Command Reference Guide for more information about the CLI.
Console Port
You can use the console port to manage the ZyWALL using CLI commands. See the Command Reference Guide for more information about the CLI.
The default settings for the console port are as follows.
Table 2 Console Port Default Settings
| SETTING | VALUE |
| Speed | 115200 bps |
| Data Bits | 8 |
| Parity | None |
| Stop Bit | 1 |
| Flow Control | Off |
1.5 Starting and Stopping the ZyWALL
Here are some of the ways to start and stop the ZyWALL.
Always use Maintenance > Shutdown > Shutdown or the shutdown command before you turn off the ZyWALL or remove the power. Not doing so can cause the firmware to become corrupt.
Table 3 Starting and Stopping the ZyWALL
| METHOD | DESCRIPTION |
| Turning on 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. |
Table 3 Starting and Stopping the ZyWALL
| METHOD | DESCRIPTION |
| Clicking Maintenance > Shutdown > Shutdown or using the shutdown command | Clicking Maintenance > Shutdown > Shutdown or using the shutdown command writes all cached data to the local storage and stops the system processes. Wait for the device to shut down and then manually turn off or remove the power. It does not turn off the power. |
| 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. |
The ZyWALL does not stop or start the system processes when you apply configuration files or run shell scripts although you may temporarily lose access to network resources.
Features and Applications
This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the ZyWALL.
2.1 Features
The ZyWALL's security features include VPN, firewall content filtering, ADP (Anomaly Detection and Protection), and certificates. It also provides bandwidth management, NAT, port forwarding, policy routing, DHCP server and many other powerful features.
The rest of this section provides more information about the features of the ZyWALL.
High Availability
To ensure the ZyWALL provides reliable, secure Internet access, set up one or more of the following:
- Multiple WAN ports and configure load balancing between these ports.
- One or more 3G (cellular) connections.
Virtual Private Networks (VPN)
Use IPSec, SSL 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 your own custom zones. You can add interfaces and VPN tunnels to zones.
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.
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 29.3.4 on page 472 and Section 29.3.5 on page 475 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-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.
2.2 Applications
These are some example applications for your ZyWALL. See also Chapter 7 on page 107 for configuration tutorial examples.
2.2.1 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.

Figure 3 Applications: VPN Connectivity
2.2.2 SSL VPN Network Access
You can configure the ZyWALL to provide SSL VPN network access to remote users.
2.2.2.1 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.

Figure 4 Network Access Mode: Full Tunnel Mode
2.2.3 User-Aware Access Control
Set up security policies that restrict access to sensitive information and shared resources based on the user who is trying to access it.

Figure 5 Applications: User-Aware Access Control
Web Configurator
The ZyWALL Web Configurator allows easy ZyWALL setup and management using an Internet browser.
3.1 Web Configurator Requirements

There are two phases to every IKE (Internet Key Exchange) negotiation – phase 1 (Authentication) and phase 2 (Key Exchange). A phase 1 exchange establishes an IKE SA (Security Association).

Figure 45 VPN Advanced Wizard: Phase 1 Settings
- 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 device (secure gateway) to identify the remote IPSec device by its IP address or a domain name. Use 0.0.0.0 if the remote IPSec device 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 connecting through a secure gateway must have the same negotiation mode.
- Encryption Algorithm: 3DES and AES use encryption. The longer the key, the higher the security (this may affect throughput). 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.
- Authentication Algorithm: MD5 gives minimal security. SHA-1 gives higher security. 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.
- Key Group: DH5 is more secure than DH1 or DH2 (although it may affect throughput). 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: 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).
Note: The remote IPSec device must also have NAT traversal enabled. See VPN, NAT, and NAT Traversal on page 419 for more information.
- Dead Peer Detection (DPD) has the ZyWALL make sure the remote IPSec device is there before transmitting 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 device. If it responds, the ZyWALL transmits the data. If it does not respond, the ZyWALL shuts down the IKE SA.
- Authentication Method: Select Pre-Shared Key to use a password or Certificate to use one of the ZyWALL's certificates.
5.5.6 VPN Advanced Wizard - Phase 2
Phase 2 in an IKE uses the SA that was established in phase 1 to negotiate SAs for IPSec.

Figure 46 VPN Advanced Wizard: Step 4
Active Protocol: ESP is compatible with NAT, AH is not.
- Encapsulation: Tunnel is compatible with NAT, Transport is not.
- Encryption Algorithm: 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. 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.
- 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.
- Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS): Disabling PFS allows faster IPSec setup, but is less secure. Select DH1, DH2 or DH5 to enable PFS. DH5 is more secure than DH1 or DH2 (although it may affect throughput). DH1 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 (more secure, yet slower).
- Local Policy (IP/Mask): Type the IP address of a computer on your network. You can also specify a subnet. This must match the remote IP address configured on the remote IPSec device.
- Remote Policy (IP/Mask): Type the IP address of a computer behind the remote IPSec device. You can also specify a subnet. This must match the local IP address configured on the remote IPSec device.
- Nailed-Up: This displays for the site-to-site and remote access client role scenarios. Select this to have the ZyWALL automatically renegotiate the IPSec SA when the SA life time expires.

Configuration Basics
This information is provided 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 6.1 on page 87 introduces the ZyWALL's object-based configuration.
- Section 6.2 on page 88 introduces zones, interfaces, and port groups.
- Section 6.3 on page 91 introduces some terminology and organization for the ZyWALL.
- Section 6.4 on page 91 covers the ZyWALL's packet flow.
- Section 6.5 on page 95 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 6.6 on page 103 identifies the objects that store information used by other features.
- Section 6.7 on page 105 introduces some of the tools available for system management.
6.1 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, content filter, and other settings use it. If you modify the schedule, all the firewall, 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 an Ethernet interface's IP address, the ZyWALL automatically updates the rules or settings that use the interface-based, LAN subnet address object.
You can use the Configuration > 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 new Object to be able to configure a new object. For a list of common objects, see Section 6.6 on page 103.
Use the Object Reference screen (Section 3.3.3.3 on page 53) to see what objects are configured and which configuration settings reference specific objects.
6.2 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.

Figure 49
Table 13 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, remote management. |
| Interfaces (Ethernet, VLAN,...) | Interfaces are logical entities that (layer-3) packets pass through. Use interfaces in configuring VPN, zones, trunks, DDNS, policy routes, static routes, HTTP redirect, and NAT. Port roles combine physical ports into interfaces. |
| Physical Ethernet Ports (P1, P2, ...) | 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. |
6.2.1 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. Port groups are created when you use the Interface > Port Roles screen to set multiple physical ports to be part of the same (lan1, lan2 or dmz) interface.
- PPP interfaces support Point-to-Point Protocols (PPPoE or PPTP). 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.
6.2.2 Default Interface and Zone Configuration
This section introduces the ZyWALL's default zone member physical interfaces and the default configuration of those interfaces. The following figure uses letters to denote public IP addresses or part of a private IP address.

Figure 50 Default Network Topology
Table 14 ZyWALL USG 20 Default Port, Interface, and Zone Configuration
| PORT | INTERFACE | ZONE | IP ADDRESS AND DHCP SETTINGS | SUGGESTED USE WITH DEFAULT SETTINGS |
| P1 | wan1 | WAN | DHCP clients | Connections to the Internet |
| P2, P3 | lan1 | LAN1 | 192.168.1.1, DHCP server enabled | Protected LAN |
| P4 | lan2 | LAN2 | 192.168.2.1, DHCP server enabled | Protected LAN |
| P5 | dmz | DMZ | 192.168.3.1, DHCP server disabled | Public servers (such as web, e-mail and FTP) |
| CONSOLE | n/a | None | None | Local management |
- The WAN zone contains the wan1 interface (physical port P1). It uses a public IP address to connect to the Internet.
-
The LAN1 zone contains the Ian1 interface (a port group made up of physical ports P2 and P3 on the ZyWALL). The LAN1 zone is a protected zone. The Ian1 interface uses 192.168.1.1 and the connected devices use IP addresses in the 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254 range.
-
The DMZ zone contains the dmz interface (physical port P6). The DMZ zone has servers that are available to the public. The dmz interface uses private IP address 192.168.3.1 and the connected devices use private IP addresses in the 192.168.3.2 to 192.168.3.254 range.
6.3 Terminology in the ZyWALL
This section highlights some terminology or organization for ZLD-based ZyWALLs.
Table 15 ZLD ZyWALL Terminology
| FEATURE / TERM | ZLD ZYWALL FEATURE / TERM |
| IP alias | Virtual interface |
| Gateway policy | VPN gateway |
| Network policy (IPSec SA) | VPN connection |
| Source NAT (SNAT) | Policy route |
| Trigger port, port triggering | Policy route |
| Address mapping | Policy route |
| Address mapping (VPN) | IPSec VPN |
| Interface bandwidth management (outbound) | Interface |
| General bandwidth management | Policy route |
6.4 Packet Flow
Here is the order in which the ZyWALL applies its features and checks.
Traffic in > Defragmentation > Destination NAT > Routing > Stateful Firewall > ADP > Application Classification > Content Filter > Anti-Spam > SNAT > Bandwidth Management > Fragmentation > Traffic Out.

Figure 51 Packet Flow
The packet flow is as follows:
- Automatic SNAT and WAN trunk routing for traffic going from internal to external interfaces (you don't need to configure anything to all LAN to WAN traffic).
The ZyWALL automatically adds all of the external interfaces to the default WAN trunk. External interfaces include ppp and cellular interfaces as well as any Ethernet interfaces that are set as external interfaces.
Examples of internal interfaces are any Ethernet interfaces that you configure as internal interfaces.
- A policy route can be automatically disabled if the next-hop is dead.
- You do not need to set up policy routes for IPSec traffic.
- Policy routes can override direct routes.
- You do not need to set up policy routes for 1:1 NAT entries.
- You can create Many 1:1 NAT entries to translate a range of private network addresses to a range of public IP addresses
- Static and dynamic routes have their own category.
6.4.1 Routing Table Checking Flow
When the ZyWALL receives packets it defragments them and applies destination NAT. Then it examines the packets and determines how to route them. The checking flow is from top to bottom. As soon as the packets match an entry in one
of the sections, the ZyWALL stops checking the packets against the routing table and moves on to the other checks, for example the firewall check.

Figure 52 Routing Table Checking Flow
1 Direct-connected Subnets: The ZyWALL first checks to see if the packets are destined for an address in the same subnet as one of the ZyWALL's interfaces. You can override this and have the ZyWALL check the policy routes first by enabling the policy route feature's Use Policy Route to Override Direct Route option (see Section 13.1 on page 297).
2 Policy Routes: These are the user-configured policy routes. Configure policy routes to send packets through the appropriate interface or VPN tunnel. See Chapter 13 on page 297 for more on policy routes.
3 1 to 1 and Many 1 to 1 NAT: These are the 1 to 1 NAT and many 1 to 1 NAT rules. If a private network server will initiate sessions to the outside clients, create a 1 to 1 NAT entry to have the ZyWALL translate the source IP address of the server's outgoing traffic to the same public IP address that the outside clients use to access the server. A many 1 to 1 NAT entry works like multiple 1 to 1 NAT rules. It maps a range of private network servers that will initiate sessions to the outside clients to a range of public IP addresses. See Section 17.2.1 on page 340 for more.
4 Auto VPN Policy: The ZyWALL automatically creates these routing entries for the VPN rules. Disabling the IPSec VPN feature's Use Policy Route to control dynamic IPSec rules option moves the routes for dynamic IPSec rules up above the policy routes (see Section 23.2 on page 394).
5 Static and Dynamic Routes: This section contains the user-configured static routes and the dynamic routing information learned from other routers through RIP and OSPF. See Chapter 13 on page 297 for more information.
6 Default WAN Trunk: For any traffic coming in through an internal interface, if it does not match any of the other routing entries, the ZyWALL forwards it through the default WAN trunk. See Section 12.2 on page 292 for how to select which trunk the ZyWALL uses as the default.
7 Main Routing Table: The default WAN trunk is expected to be used for any traffic that did not match any earlier routing entries.
6.4.2 NAT Table Checking Flow
The checking flow is from top to bottom. As soon as the packets match an entry in one of the sections, the ZyWALL stops checking the packets against the NAT table and moves on to bandwidth management.

Figure 53 NAT Table Checking Flow
1 SNAT defined in the policy routes.
2 1 to 1 NAT (including Many 1 to 1) is also included in the NAT table.
3 NAT loopback is now included in the NAT table instead of requiring a separate policy route.
4 SNAT is also now performed by default and included in the NAT table.
6.5 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 description is organized as shown below.
6.5.1 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. |
| PREREGUISITES | 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 90.
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.
6.5.2 Licensing Registration
Use these screens to register your ZyWALL and subscribe to services like more SSL VPN tunnels, and content filtering. You must have Internet access to myZyXEL.com.
| MENU ITEM(S) | Configuration > Licensing > Registration |
| PREREGUISITES | Internet access to myZyXEL.com |
6.5.3 Interface
See Section 6.2 on page 88 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, cellular, VLAN, and bridge interfaces.
| MENU ITEM(S) | Configuration > Network > Interface (except Network > Interface > Trunk) |
| PREREGUISITES | Port groups (configured in the Interface > Port Grouping screen) |
| WHERE USED | Zones, trunks, IPSec VPN, DDNS, policy routes, static routes, HTTP redirect, NAT |
Example: The dmz interface is in the DMZ zone and uses a private IP address. To configure dmz's settings, click Network > Interface > Ethernet and then the dmz's Edit icon.
6.5.4 Trunks
Use trunks to set up load balancing using two or more interfaces.
| MENU ITEM(S) | Configuration > Network > Interface > Trunk |
| PREREGUISITES | Interfaces |
| WHERE USED | Policy routes |
Example: See Chapter 7 on page 107.
6.5.5 Policy Routes
Use policy routes to override the ZyWALL's default routing behavior in order to send packets through the appropriate interface or VPN tunnel. You can 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 first.
| MENU ITEM(S) | Configuration > Network > Routing > Policy Route |
| PREREQUISITES | Criteria: users, user groups, interfaces (incoming), IPSec VPN (incoming), addresses (source, destination), address groups (source, destination), schedules, services, service groups Next-hop: addresses (HOST gateway), IPSec VPN, SSL VPN, trunks, interfaces NAT: addresses (translated address), services and service groups (port triggering) |
Example: You have an FTP server connected to P6 (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 Configuration > 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 (P3 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. 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.
6.5.6 Static Routes
Use static routes to tell the ZyWALL about networks not directly connected to the ZyWALL.
| MENU ITEM(S) | Configuration > Network > Routing > Static Route |
| PREREGUISITES | Interfaces |
6.5.7 Zones
See Section 6.2 on page 88 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, or configure remote management for the new zone.
| MENU ITEM(S) | Configuration > Network > Zone |
| PREREGUISITES | Interfaces, IPSec VPN, SSL VPN |
| WHERE USED | Firewall, remote management, ADP |
Example: For example, to create the DMZ-2 zone, click Network > Zone and then the Add icon.
6.5.8 DDNS
Dynamic DNS maps a domain name to a dynamic IP address. The ZyWALL helps maintain this mapping.
| MENU ITEM(S) | Configuration > Network > DDNS |
| PREREGUISITES | Interface |
6.5.9 NAT
Use Network Address Translation (NAT) to make computers on a private network behind the ZyWALL available outside the private network.
The ZyWALL only checks regular (through-ZyWALL) firewall rules for packets that are redirected by NAT, it does not check the to-ZyWALL firewall rules.
| MENU ITEM(S) | Configuration > Network > NAT |
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 NAT rule to forwards FTP sessions from the WAN to the DMZ.
1 Click Configuration > Network > NAT to configure the NAT entry. Add an entry.
2 Name the entry.
3 Select the WAN interface that the FTP traffic is to come in through.
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.
6.5.10 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) | Configuration > Network > HTTP Redirect |
| PREREGUISITES | 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 Configuration > Network > HTTP Redirect.
2 Add an entry.
3 Name the entry.
4 Select the interface from which you want to redirect incoming HTTP requests (lan1).
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.
6.5.11 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) | Configuration > Network > ALG |
6.5.12 Auth. Policy
Use authentication policies to control who can access the network. You can authenticate users (require them to log in) and even perform Endpoint Security (EPS) checking to make sure users' computers comply with defined corporate policies before they can access the network.
| MENU ITEM(S) | Configuration >Auth. Policy |
| PREREGUISITES | Addresses, services, endpoint security objects, users, authentication methods |
6.5.13 Firewall
The firewall controls the travel of traffic between or within zones. You can also configure the firewall to control traffic for NAT (DNAT) and policy routes (SNAT). 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 only allowsmanagement connections from the LAN or WAN zone.
| MENU ITEM(S) | Configuration > Firewall |
| PREREGUISITES | 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 (Configuration > Object > Service).
2 Create an address object for the VoIP server (Configuration > Object > Address).
3 Click Configuration > Firewall to go to the firewall configuration.
4 Select from the DMZ zone to the LAN1 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.
6.5.14 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) | Configuration > VPN > IPSec VPN; you can also use the Quick Setup VPN Setup wizard. |
| PRERQUISITES | Interfaces, certificates (authentication), authentication methods (extended authentication), addresses (local network, remote network, NAT), to-ZyWALL firewall, firewall |
| WHERE USED | Policy routes, zones |
Example: See Chapter 7 on page 107.
6.5.15 SSL VPN
Use SSL VPN to give remote users secure network access.
| MENU ITEM(S) | Configuration > VPN > SSL VPN |
| PREREGUISITES | 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 7 on page 107.
6.5.16 Bandwidth Management
Use bandwidth management (BWM) to configure a BWM rule for a specific IP address, destination port or IP range and specify allowed amounts of bandwidth and priorities.
| MENU ITEM(S) | Configuration > BWM |
| PREREGUISITES | Zones |
Examples: Suppose you want to give a user named Bob FTP access but with a limited download speed of 200 kbps from LAN (FTP client) to WAN (FTP server).
1 Create user account for Bob.
2 Click BWM > Add New Policy. Select the user account that you created for Bob.
3 Select from LAN zone to WAN zone (default).
4 Set BWM inbound value to 200kbps and keep the default values for all other fields.
6.5.17 ADP
Use ADP to detect and take action on traffic and protocol anomalies.
| MENU ITEM(S) | Configuration > Anti-X > ADP |
| PREREGUISITES | Zones |
6.5.18 Content Filter
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) | Configuration > 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 (Configuration > Object > User/Group).
2 Create a schedule for the work day (Configuration > Object > Schedule).
3 Click Configuration > Anti-X > Content Filter > Filter Profile. Click the Add icon to go to the screen where you can configure a category-based profile.

Tutorials
Here are examples of using the Web Configurator to set up features in the ZyWALL.
Note: The tutorials featured here require a basic understanding of connecting to and using the Web Configurator, see Chapter 3 on page 43 for details. For field descriptions of individual screens, see Technical Reference on page 163.
7.1 How to Configure Interfaces, Port Roles, and Zones
This tutorial shows how to configure Ethernet interfaces, port roles, and zones for the following example configuration (see Section 6.2.2 on page 90 for the default configuration).
- You want to be able to apply security settings specifically for all VPN tunnels so you create a new VPN zone.
-
The wan1 interface uses a static IP address of 1.2.3.4.
-
Convert P5 (lan2) into a dmz interface. This dmz interface is used for a protected local network. It uses IP address 192.168.4.1 and has a DHCP server. Add it to the LAN zone so all of the LAN zone's security policies apply to it.

Figure 54 Ethernet Interface, Port Roles, and Zone Configuration Example
7.1.1 Configure a WAN Ethernet Interface
You need to assign the ZyWALL's wan1 interface a static IP address of 1.2.3.4.
Click Configuration > Network > Interface > Ethernet and double-click the wan1 interface's entry. Select Use Fixed IP Address and configure the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway settings and click OK.

Figure 55 Configuration > Network > Interface > Ethernet > Edit wan1
7.1.2 Configure Port Roles
Here is how to convert port P5 from the lan2 interface and add it to the dmz interface.
1 Click Configuration > Network > Interface > Role.
2 Under P5 select the dmz (DMZ) radio button and click Apply.

Figure 56 Configuration > Network > Interface > Port Roles Example
7.1.3 Configure the DMZ Interface for a Local Network
Here is how to set the dmz interface (created in the previous section) for a separate local network. It uses 192.168.4.1 as its IP address and has a DHCP server to distribute IP addresses to connected DHCP clients.
1 Click Configuration > Network > Interface > Ethernet and double-click the Ian2 interface's entry.
The Interface Type should be internal.
Set the IP Address to 192.168.4.1 and the Subnet Mask to 255.255.255.0.
Set DHCP to DHCP Server and click OK.

Figure 57 Configuration > Network > Interface > Ethernet > Edit lan2
7.1.4 Configure Zones
Do the following to create a VPN zone.
1 Click Configuration > Network > Zone and then the Add icon.
2 Enter VPN as the name, select WIZ_VPN_Connection and move it to the Member box and click OK.

Figure 58 Configuration > Network > Zone > WAN Edit
7.2 How to Configure a Cellular Interface
Use 3G cards for cellular WAN (Internet) connections. Table 229 on page 741 lists the compatible 3G devices. In this example you connect the 3G USB card before you configure the cellular interfaces but is also possible to reverse the sequence.
1 Make sure the 3G device's SIM card is installed.
2 Connect the 3G device to one of the ZyWALL's USB ports.
3 Click Configuration > Network > Interface > Cellular. Select the 3G device's entry and click Edit.

Figure 59 Configuration > Network > Interface > Cellular
4 Enable the interface and add it to a zone. It is highly recommended that you set the Zone to WAN to apply your WAN zone security settings to this 3G connection. Leaving Zone set to none has the ZyWALL not apply any security settings to the 3G connection. Enter the PIN Code provided by the cellular 3G service provider (0000 in this example).

Figure 60 Configuration > Network > Interface > Cellular > Edit
Note: The Network Selection is set to Auto by default. This means that the 3G USB modem may connect to another 3G network when your service provider is not in range or when necessary. Select Home to have the 3G device connect only to your home network or local service provider. This prevents you from being charged using the rate of a different ISP.
5 Go to the Dashboard. The Interface Status Summary section should contain a "cellular" entry. When its connection status is Connected you can use the 3G connection to access the Internet.

Figure 61 Status
6 The ZyWALL automatically adds the cellular interface to the system default WAN trunk. If the ZyWALL is using a user-configured trunk as its default trunk and you want this cellular interface to be part of it, use the Trunk screens to add it.
This way the ZyWALL can automatically balance the traffic load amongst the available WAN connections to enhance overall network throughput. Plus, if a WAN connection goes down, the ZyWALL still sends traffic through the remaining WAN connections. For a simple test, disconnect all of the ZyWALL's wired WAN connections. If you can still access the Internet, your cellular interface is properly configured and your cellular device is working.
To fine-tune the load balancing configuration, see Chapter 12 on page 289. See also Section 7.3 on page 113 for an example.
7.3 How to Configure Load Balancing
This example shows how to configure a trunk for two WAN connections (to the Internet). The available bandwidth for the connections is 1Mbps (wan1) and 512 Kbps (cellular1) respectively. As these connections have different bandwidth, use the Weighted Round Robin algorithm to send traffic to wan1 and cellular1 in a 2:1 ratio.

Figure 62 Trunk Example
You do not have to change many of the ZyWALL's settings from the defaults to set up this trunk. You only have to set up the outgoing bandwidth on each of the WAN interfaces and configure the WAN_TRUNK trunk's load balancing settings.
7.3.1 Set Up Available Bandwidth on Ethernet Interfaces
Here is how to set a limit on how much traffic the ZyWALL tries to send out through each WAN interface.
1 Click Configuration > Network > Interface > Ethernet and double-click the wan1 entry. Enter the available bandwidth (1000 kbps) in the Egress Bandwidth field. Click OK.

Figure 63 Configuration > Network > Interface > Ethernet > Edit (wan1)
2 Go to Configuration > Network > Interface > Cellular. Double-click the cellular1 entry and set the egress bandwidth for cellular1 to 512 Kbps.
7.3.2 Configure the WAN Trunk
1 Click Configuration > Network > Interface > Trunk. Click the Add icon.
2 Name the trunk and set the Load Balancing Algorithm field to Weighted Round Robin.
Add wan1 and enter 2 in the Weight column.
Add cellular1 and enter 1 in the Weight column.
Click OK.

Figure 64 Configuration > Network > Interface > Trunk > Add
3 Select the trunk as the default trunk and click Apply.

Figure 65 Configuration > Network > Interface > Trunk
7.4 How to Set Up an IPSec VPN Tunnel
This example shows how to use the IPSec VPN configuration screens to create the following VPN tunnel, see Section 5.4 on page 76 for details on the VPN quick setup wizard.

Figure 66 VPN Example
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).
7.4.1 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 Configuration > VPN > IPSec VPN > VPN Gateway, and then click the Add icon.
2 Enable the VPN gateway and name it ("VPN_GW_EXAMPLE"). For My Address, select Interface and wan1. For the Peer Gateway Address, select Static Address and enter 2.2.2.2 in the Primary field. For the Authentication, Select Pre-Shared Key and enter 12345678. Click OK.

Figure 67 Configuration > VPN > IPSec VPN > VPN Gateway > Add
7.4.2 Set Up the VPN Connection
The VPN connection manages the IPSec SA. You have to set up the address objects for the local network and remote network before you can set up the VPN connection.
1 Click Configuration > Object > Address. Click the Add icon.
2 Give the new address object a name ("VPN_REMOTE_SUBNET"), change the Address Type to SUBNET. Set up the Network field to 172.16.1.0 and the Netmask to 255.255.255.0. Click OK.

Figure 68 Configuration > Object > Address > Add
3 Click Configuration > VPN > IPSec VPN > VPN Connection. Click the Add icon.
4 Enable the VPN connection and name it ("VPN_CONN_EXAMPLE"). Under VPN Gateway select Site-to-site and the VPN gateway (VPN_GW_EXAMPLE). Under Policy, select LAN1_SUBNET for the local network and VPN_REMOTE_SUBNET for the remote. Click OK.

Figure 69 Configuration > VPN > IPSec VPN > VPN Connection > Add
5 Now set up the VPN settings on the peer IPSec router and try to establish the VPN tunnel. To trigger the VPN, either try to connect to a device on the peer IPSec router's LAN or click Configuration > VPN > IPSec VPN > VPN Connection and use the VPN connection screen's Connect icon.
7.4.3 Configure Security Policies for the VPN Tunnel
You configure security policies based on zones. The new VPN connection was assigned to the IPSec_VPN zone. By default, there are no security restrictions on the IPSec_VPN zone, so, next, you should set up security policies (firewall rules and so on) that apply to the IPSec_VPN zone. 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.
7.5 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 445 for more on bandwidth management.
Table 18 User-aware Access Control Example
| GROUP (USER) | WEB SURFING | WEB BANDWIDTH | MSN | LAN1-TO-DMZ ACCESS |
| Finance (Leo) | Yes | 200K | No | Yes |
| Engineer (Steven) | Yes | 100K | No | No |
| Sales (Debbie) | Yes | 100K | Yes (M-F, 08:30~18:00) | Yes |
| Boss (Andy) | Yes | 100K | Yes | Yes |
| Guest (guest) | Yes | 50K | 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.
7.5.1 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 Configuration > 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.

Figure 70 Configuration > Object > User/Group > User > Add
3 Repeat this process to set up the remaining user accounts.
7.5.2 Set Up User Groups
Set up the user groups and assign the users to the user groups.
1 Click Configuration > Object > User/Group > Group. Click the Add icon.
2 Enter the name of the group that is used in the example in Table 18 on page 120. In this example, it is "Finance". Then, select User/Leo and click the right arrow to move him to the Member list. This example only has one member in this group, so click OK. Of course you could add more members later.

Figure 71 Configuration > Object > User/Group > Group > Add
3 Repeat this process to set up the remaining user groups.
7.5.3 Set Up User Authentication Using the RADIUS Server
This step sets up user authentication using the RADIUS server. First, configure the settings for the RADIUS server. Then, set up the authentication method, and configure the ZyWALL to use the authentication method. Finally, force users to log in to the ZyWALL before it routes traffic for them.
1 Click Configuration > Object > AAA Server > RADIUS. Double-click the radius entry. Configure the RADIUS server's address authentication port (1812 if you were not told otherwise), key, and click Apply.

Figure 72 Configuration > Object > AAA Server > RADIUS > Add
2 Click Configuration > Object > Auth. method. Double-click the default entry. Click the Add icon. Select group radius because the ZyWALL should use the specified RADIUS server for authentication. Click OK.

Figure 73 Configuration > Object > Auth. method > Add
3 Click Configuration > Auth. Policy. In the Authentication Policy Summary section, click the Add icon.
4 Set up a default policy that forces every user to log in to the ZyWALL before the ZyWALL routes traffic for them. Select Enable. Set the Authentication field to required, and make sure Force User Authentication is selected. Keep the rest of the default settings, and click OK.
Note: The users will have to log in using the Web Configurator login screen before they can use HTTP or MSN.

Figure 74 Configuration > Object > User/Group > Setting > Add (Force User Authentication Policy)
When the users try to browse the web (or use any HTTP/HTTPS application), the Login screen appears. They have to log in using the user name and password in the RADIUS server.
7.6 How to Use a RADIUS Server to authenticate User Accounts based on Groups
The previous example showed how to have a RADIUS server authenticate individual user accounts. If the RADIUS server has different user groups distinguished by the value of a specific attribute, you can configure the make a couple of slight changes in the configuration to have the RADIUS server authenticate groups of user accounts defined in the RADIUS server.
1 Click Configuration > Object > AAA Server > RADIUS. Double-click the radius entry. Besides configuring the RADIUS server's address, authentication port, and key; set the Group Membership Attribute field to the attribute that the ZyWALL is to check to determine to which group a user belongs. This example uses Class. This attribute's value is called a group identifier; it determines to which group a user belongs. In this example the values are Finance, Engineer, Sales, and Boss.

Figure 75 Configuration > Object > AAA Server > RADIUS > Add
2 Now you add ext-group-user user objects to identify groups based on the group identifier values. Set up one user account for each group of user accounts in the RADIUS server. Click Configuration > Object > User/Group > User. Click the Add icon.
Enter a user name and set the User Type to ext-group-user. In the Group Identifier field, enter Finance, Engineer, Sales, or Boss and set the Associated AAA Server Object to radius.
Figure 76 Configuration > Object > User/Group > User > Add

3 Repeat this process to set up the remaining groups of user accounts.
7.7 How to Use Endpoint Security and Authentication Policies
Here is how to use endpoint security to make sure that users' computers meet specific security requirements before they are allowed to access the network. This example requires users to have Kaspersky Internet security or anti-virus software on their computers before they can access the network.
7.7.1 Configure the Endpoint Security Objects
Click Configuration > Object > Endpoint Security > Add to open the Endpoint Security Edit screen.
- Select Endpoint must comply with all checking items.
-
Set the Endpoint Operating System to Windows and the Window Version to Windows 7.
-
Select Endpoint must have Personal Firewall installed and move the Kaspersky Internet Security entries to the allowed list (you can double-click an entry to move it).
- Select Endpoint must have Anti-Virus software installed and move the Kaspersky Internet Security and Kaspersky Anti-Virus anti-virus software entries to the allowed list.
The following figure shows the configuration screen example.

Figure 77 Configuration > Object > Endpoint Security > Add
Repeat as needed to create endpoint security objects for other Windows operating system versions.
7.7.2 Configure the Authentication Policy
Click Configuration > Auth. Policy > Add to open the Endpoint Security Edit screen. Use this screen to configure an authentication policy to use endpoint security objects.
- Enable the policy and name it.
- Set the Source Address to LAN1 and the Destination Address to any, the Schedule set to none, and Authentication set to required to apply this policy to all users.
- Select Force User Authentication to redirect the HTTP traffic of users who are not yet logged in to the ZyWALL's login screen.
- Enable EPS checking and move the EPS objects you created to the selected list.
- Click OK.

Figure 78 Configuration >Auth. Policy >Add
4 Turn on authentication policy and click Apply.

Figure 79 Configuration >Auth. Policy
The following figure shows an error message example when a user's computer does not meet an endpoint security object's requirements. Click Close to return to the login screen.

Figure 80 Example: Endpoint Security Error Message
7.8 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 43 on page 629 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.
7.8.1 Allow HTTPS Administrator Access Only From the LAN
This example configures service control to block administrator HTTPS access from all zones except the LAN1.
1 Click Configuration > System > WWW.
2 In HTTPS Admin Service Control, click the Add icon.

Figure 81 Configuration > System > WWW
3 In the Zone field select LAN1 and click OK.

Figure 82 Configuration > System > WWW > Service Control Rule Edit
4 Select the new rule and click the Add icon.

Figure 83 Configuration > System > WWW (First Example Admin Service Rule Configured)
5 In the Zone field select ALL and set the Action to Deny. Click OK.

Figure 84 Configuration > System > WWW > Service Control Rule Edit
6 Click Apply.

Figure 85 Configuration > System > WWW (Second Example Admin Service Rule Configured)
Now administrator access to the Web Configurator can only come from the LAN1 zone. Non-admin users can still use HTTPS to log into the ZyWALL from any of the ZyWALL's zones (to use SSL VPN for example).
7.9 How to Allow Incoming H.323 Peer-to-peer Calls
Suppose you have a H.323 device on the LAN1 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 NAT and the firewall to have the ZyWALL forward H.323 traffic destined
for wan1 IP address 10.0.0.8 to a H.323 device located on the LAN and using IP address 192.168.1.56.

Figure 86 WAN to LAN H.323 Peer-to-peer Calls Example
7.9.1 Turn On the ALG
Click Configuration > Network > ALG. Select Enable H.323 ALG and Enable H.323 transformations and click Apply.

Figure 87 Configuration > Network > ALG
7.9.2 Set Up a NAT Policy For H.323
In this example, you need a NAT policy to forward H.323 (TCP port 1720) traffic received on the ZyWALL's 10.0.0.8 WAN IP address to LAN1 IP address 192.168.1.56.
1 Use Configuration > Object > Address > Add to create an address object for the public WAN IP address (called WAN_IP-for-H323 here). Then use it again to create an address object for the H.323 device's private LAN1 IP address (called LAN_H323 here).

Figure 88 Create Address Objects

2 Click Configuration > Network > NAT > Add.
Configure a name for the rule (WAN-LAN_H323 here).
You want the LAN H.323 device to receive peer-to-peer calls from the WAN and also be able to initiate calls to the WAN so you set the Classification to NAT 1:1.
Set the Incoming Interface to wan1.
Set the Original IP to the WAN address object (WAN_IP-for-H323).
Set the Mapped IP to the H.323 device's LAN1 IP address object (LAN_H323).
Set the Port Mapping Type to Port, the Protocol Type to TCP and the original and mapped ports to 1720.
Click OK.

Figure 89 Configuration > Network > NAT > Add
7.9.3 Set Up a Firewall Rule For H.323
The default firewall rule for WAN-to-LAN traffic drops all traffic. Here is how to configure a firewall rule to allow H.323 (TCP port 1720) traffic received on the WAN_IP-for-H323 IP address to go to LAN1 IP address 192.168.1.56.
1 Click Configuration > Firewall > Add.
In the From field select WAN.
In the To field select LAN1.
Configure a name for the rule (WAN-to-LAN_H323 here).
Set the Destination to the H.323 device's LAN1 IP address object (LAN_H323). LAN_H323 is the destination because the ZyWALL applies NAT to traffic before applying the firewall rule.
Set the Service to H.323.
Click OK.

7.10 How to Allow Public Access to a Web Server
This is an example of making an HTTP (web) server in the DMZ zone accessible from the Internet (the WAN zone). In this example you have public IP address 1.1.1.1 that you will use on the wan1 interface and map to the HTTP server's private IP address of 192.168.3.7.

Figure 91 Public Server Example Network Topology
7.10.1 Create the Address Objects
Use Configuration > Object > Address > Add to create the address objects.
1 Create a host address object named DMZ=http://www.bmz.net for the HTTP server's private IP address of 192.168.3.7.

Figure 92 Creating the Address Object for the HTTP Server's Private IP Address
2 Create a host address object named PublicazonServer_IP for thepublic WAN IP address 1.1.1.1.

Figure 93 Creating the Address Object for thePublic IP Address
7.10.2 Configure NAT
You need a NAT rule to send HTTP traffic coming to IP address 1.1.1.1 on wan1 to the HTTP server's private IP address of 192.168.3.7. In the Configuration > Network > NAT screen, click the Add icon and create a new NAT entry as follows.
- Set the Incoming Interface to wan1.
- Set the Original IP to the Public_SSL_Protector_Protector object and the Mapped IP to the DMZ_SSL_Protector 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.
-
Keep Enable NAT Loopback selected to allow users connected to other interfaces to access the HTTP server (see NAT Loopback on page 343 for details).

Figure 94 Creating the NAT Entry
7.10.3 Set Up a Firewall Rule
The firewall blocks traffic from the WAN zone to the DMZ zone by default so you need to create a firewall rule to allow the public to send HTTP traffic to IP address 1.1.1.1 in order to access the HTTP server. If a domain name is registered for IP address 1.1.1.1, users can just go to the domain name to access the web server.
1 Click Configuration > Firewall > Add. Set the From field as WAN and the To field as DMZ. Set the Destination to the HTTP server's DMZ IP address object (DMZ=http://www.zywall.com). DMZ=http://www.zywall.com is the destination because the ZyWALL applies NAT to traffic before applying the firewall rule. Set the Access field to allow and the Service to HTTP, and click OK.

Figure 95 Configuration > Firewall > Add
7.11 How to Use an IPPBX on the DMZ
This is an example of making an IPPBX x6004 using SIP in the DMZ zone accessible from the Internet (the WAN zone). In this example you have public IP
address 1.1.1.2 that you will use on the wan1 interface and map to the IPPBX's private IP address of 192.168.3.7. The local SIP clients are on the LAN.

Figure 96 IPPBX Example Network Topology
7.11.1 Turn On the ALG
Click Configuration > Network > ALG. Select Enable SIP ALG and Enable SIP Transformations and click Apply.

Figure 97 Configuration > Network > ALG
7.11.2 Create the Address Objects
Use Configuration > Object > Address > Add to create the address objects.
1 Create a host address object named IPPBX-DMZ for the IPPBX's private DMZ IP address of 192.168.3.9.

Figure 98 Creating the Address Object for the IPPBX's Private IP Address
2 Create a host address object named IPPBX-Public for thepublic WAN IP address 1.1.1.2.

Figure 99 Creating the Public IP Address Object
7.11.3 Setup a NAT Policy for the IPPBX
Click Configuration > Network > NAT > Add.
- Configure a name for the rule (WAN-DMZ_IPPBX here).
- You want the IPPBX to receive calls from the WAN and also be able to send calls to the WAN so you set the Classification to NAT 1:1.
- Set the Incoming Interface to wan1.
- Set the Original IP to the WAN address object (IPPBX-Public). If a domain name is registered for IP address 1.1.1.2, users can use it to connect to for making SIP calls.
- Set the Mapped IP to the IPPBX's DMZ IP address object (IPPBX-DMZ).
- Set the Port Mapping Type to Port, the Protocol Type to UDP and the original and mapped ports to 5060.
-
Keep Enable NAT Loopback selected to allow the LAN users to use the IPPBX (see NAT Loopback on page 343 for details).

7.11.4 Set Up a WAN to DMZ Firewall Rule for SIP
The firewall blocks traffic from the WAN zone to the DMZ zone by default so you need to create a firewall rule to allow the public to send SIP traffic to the IPPBX. If a domain name is registered for IP address 1.1.1.2, users can use it to connect to for making SIP calls.
1 Click Configuration > Firewall > Add. Set the From field as WAN and the To field as DMZ. Set the Destination to the IPPBX's DMZ IP address object (DMZ_SIP). IPPBX_DMZ is the destination because the ZyWALL applies NAT to traffic before applying the firewall rule. Set the Access field to allow and click OK.

Figure 101 Configuration > Firewall > Add
7.11.5 Set Up a DMZ to LAN Firewall Rule for SIP
The firewall blocks traffic from the DMZ zone to the LAN zone by default so you need to create a firewall rule to allow the IPPBX to send SIP traffic to the SIP clients on the LAN.
1 Click Configuration > Firewall > Add. Set the From field as DMZ and the To field as LAN. Set the Destination to the IPPBX's DMZ IP address object (DMZ_SIP). Set the Source to IPPBX_DMZ. Leave the Access field to allow and click OK.

7.12 How to Use Multiple Static Public WAN IP Addresses for LAN to WAN Traffic
If your ISP gave you a range of static public IP addresses, here is how to configure a policy route to have the ZyWALL use them for traffic it sends out from the LAN.
7.12.1 Create the Public IP Address Range Object
Click Configuration > Object > Address > Add to create the address object that represents the range of static public IP addresses. In this example you name it Public-IPs and it goes from 1.1.1.10 to 1.1.1.17.

Figure 103 Creating the Public IP Address Range Object
7.12.2 Configure the Policy Route
Now you need to configure a policy route that has the ZyWALL use the range of public IP addresses as the source address for WAN to LAN traffic.
Click Configuration > Network > Routing > Add.
Although adding a description is optional, it is recommended. This example uses LAN-to-WAN-Range.
Specifying a Source Address is also optional although recommended. This example uses LAN_SUBNET1.
Set the Source Network Address Translation to Public-IPs and click OK.

7.13 How to Set Up a Wireless LAN
This tutorial applies only to USG 20W.
You can configure different interfaces to use on the wireless LAN card. This lets you have different wireless LAN networks using different SSIDs. You can configure
the WLAN interfaces before or after you install the wireless LAN card. This example shows how to create a WLAN interface that uses WPA or WPA2 security and the ZyWALL's local user database for authentication.
7.13.1 Set Up User Accounts
The ZyWALL supports TTLS using PAP so you can use the ZyWALL's local user database with WPA or WPA2 instead of needing an external RADIUS server. For each WLAN user, set up a user account containing the user name and password the WLAN user needs to enter to connect to the wireless LAN.
1 Click Configuration > Object > User/Group > User and the Add icon.
2 Set the User Name to wlan_user. Enter (and re-enter) the user's password. Click OK.

Figure 105 Configuration > Object > User/Group > User > Add
3 Use the Add icon in the Configuration > Object > User/Group > User screen to set up the remaining user accounts in similar fashion.
7.13.2 Create the WLAN Interface
1 Click Configuration > Network > Interface > WLAN > Add to open the WLAN Add screen.
2 Edit this screen as follows.
A (internal) name for the WLAN interface displays. You can modify it if you want to.
The ZyWALL's security settings are configured by zones. Select to which security zone you want the WLAN interface to belong (the WLAN zone in this example). This determines which security settings the ZyWALL applies to the WLAN interface.
Configure the SSID (ZYXEL_WPA in this example).
If all of your wireless clients support WPA2, select WPA2-Enterprise as the Security Type, otherwise select WPA/WPA-2-Enterprise. Set the Authentication Type to Auth Method. The ZyWALL can use its default authentication method (the local user database) and its default certificate to authenticate the users.
Configure the interface's IP address and set it to DHCP Server. Click OK.

Figure 106 Configuration > Network > Interface > WLAN > Add
3 Turn on the wireless LAN and click Apply.

Figure 107 Configuration > Network > Interface > WLAN
7.13.3 Set Up the Wireless Clients to Use the WLAN Interface
The following sections show you how to have a wireless client (not included with the ZyWALL) use the wireless network.
7.13.3.1 Configure the ZyXEL Wireless Client Utility
This example covers how to configure ZyXEL's wireless client utility (not included with the ZyWALL) to use the WLAN interface. See Section 7.13.3.2 on page 154 instead for how to use Funk Odyssey's wireless client software if you want the wireless client to validate the ZyWALL's certificate (for added protection against connecting to a rogue AP).
1 Open the wireless client utility and click Profile.

Figure 108 ZyXEL Wireless Client
2 Add a new profile. This example uses "ZYXEL_WPA" as the name. It is also the SSID (name) of the wireless network. Select Infrastructure and click Next.

9.15 Content Filter Cache Screen
Click Monitor > Anti-X Statistics > 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.
Click a column's heading cell to sort the table entries by that column's criteria. Click the heading cell again to reverse the sort order.

11.1 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 LAN1 network to the LAN1 interface.
- Zones are groups of interfaces used to ease security policy configuration.
11.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
- Use the Port Role screens (Section 11.2 on page 220) to create port groups and to assign physical ports and port groups to Ethernet interfaces.
- Use the Ethernet screens (Section 11.3 on page 222) 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 11.4 on page 233) for PPPoE or PPTP Internet connections.
- Use the Cellular screens (Section 11.5 on page 239) to configure settings for interfaces for Internet connections through an installed 3G card.
- (For USG 20W only) Use the WLAN screens (Section 11.6 on page 248) to configure settings for interfaces on a wireless LAN card.
- Use the VLAN screens (Section 11.8 on page 264) 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 11.9 on page 274) to combine two or more network segments into a single network.
- Use the Virtual Interface screen (Section 11.9.3 on page 282) 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 Trunk screens (Chapter 12 on page 289) to configure load balancing.
11.1.2 What You Need to Know
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.
- Setting interfaces to the same port role forms a port group. 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.
- PPP interfaces support Point-to-Point Protocols (PPP). ISP accounts are required for PPPoE/PPTP interfaces.
- Cellular interfaces are for 3G WAN connections via a connected 3G device.
- WLAN interfaces are for wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11b/g) connections via an installed wireless LAN card (for USG 20W only).
- Virtual interfaces provide additional routing information in the ZyWALL. There are three types: virtual Ethernet interfaces, virtual VLAN interfaces, and virtual bridge interfaces.
- Trunk interfaces manage load balancing between interfaces.
Port groups and trunks have a lot of characteristics that are specific to each type of interface. See Section 11.2 on page 220 and Chapter 12 on page 289 for details. The other types of interfaces--Ethernet, PPP, cellular, VLAN, bridge, and
virtual--have a lot of similar characteristics. These characteristics are listed in the following table and discussed in more detail below.
Table 47 Ethernet, PPP, Cellular, VLAN, Bridge, and Virtual Interface Characteristics
| CHARACTERISTICS | ETHERNET | ETHERNET | PPP | CELLU LAR | VLAN | BRIDGE | VIRTUAL |

-
- The format of interface names other than the Ethernet and ppp interface names is strict. Each name consists of 2-4 letters (interface type), followed by a number (x) . For most interfaces, x is limited by the maximum number of the type of interface. For VLAN interfaces, x is defined by the number you enter in the VLAN name field. For example, Ethernet interface names are wan1, lan1, lan2, dmz; 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 wan1 are called wan1:1, wan1:2, 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.
- The format of interface names other than the Ethernet and ppp interface names is strict. Each name consists of 2-4 letters (interface type), followed by a number (x) . For most interfaces, x is limited by the maximum number of the type of interface. For VLAN interfaces, x is defined by the number you enter in the VLAN name field. For example, Ethernet interface names are wan1, lan1, lan2, dmz; VLAN interfaces are vlan0, vlan1, vlan2, ..., and so on.
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.
Table 48 Relationships Between Different Types of Interfaces
| INTERFACE | REQUIRED PORT / INTERFACE |
| port group | physical port |
| Ethernet interface | physical port |
| port group | |
| VLAN interface | Ethernet interface |
| bridge interface | Ethernet interface* |
| WLAN interface* (USG20W only) | |
| VLAN interface* | |
| PPP interface | WAN1 |
| virtual interface | |
| (virtual Ethernet interface) | Ethernet interface* |
| (virtual VLAN interface) | VLAN interface* |
| (virtual bridge interface) | bridge interface |
| trunk | Ethernet interface |
| Cellular interface | |
| VLAN interface | |
| bridge interface | |
| PPP interface |
-
- You cannot set up a PPP 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 PPP interface on top of it.

11.2 Port Role
To access this screen, click Configuration > Network > Interface > Port Role. Use the Port Role screen to set the ZyWALL's flexible ports as part of the Ian1, Ian2 or dmz interfaces. This creates a hardware connection between the physical
ports at the layer-2 (data link, MAC address) level. This provides wire-speed throughput but no security.
Note the following if you are configuring from a computer connected to a lan1, lan2 or dmz port and change the port's role:
1 A port's IP address varies as its role changes, make sure your computer's IP address is in the same subnet as the ZyWALL's lan1, lan2 or dmz IP address.
2 Use the appropriate Ian1, Ian2 or dmz IP address to access the ZyWALL.

Figure 157 Configuration > Network > Interface > Port Role
Each section in this screen is described below.
Table 49 Configuration > Network > Interface > Port Role
| LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
| LAN1/DMZ P2~P5 | These are physical Ethernet ports. |
| lan1 (LAN1) | These are Ethernet interfaces and the zone to which each belongs. Use the radio buttons to select for which interface (network) you want to use each physical port. For example, select a port's LAN1 radio button to use the port as part of the lan1 interface. The port will use the ZyWALL's lan1 IP address and MAC address. |
| lan2 (LAN2) | |
| dmz (DMZ) | |
| When you assign more than one physical port to a network, 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. · The port group uses a single MAC address. | |
| Apply | Click this button to save your changes and apply them to the ZyWALL. |
| Reset | Click this button to change the port groups to their current configuration (last-saved values). |
11.3 Ethernet Summary Screen
This screen lists every Ethernet interface and virtual interface created on top of Ethernet interfaces. To access this screen, click Configuration > Network > Interface > Ethernet.
Unlike other types of interfaces, you cannot create new Ethernet interfaces nor can you delete any of them. If an Ethernet interface does not have any physical ports assigned to it (see Section 11.2 on page 220), the Ethernet interface is effectively removed from the ZyWALL, but you can still configure it.
Ethernet interfaces are similar to other types of interfaces in many ways. They have an IP address, subnet mask, and gateway used to make routing decisions. They restrict the amount of bandwidth and packet size. They can provide DHCP services, and they can verify the gateway is available.
Use Ethernet interfaces to control which physical ports exchange routing information with other routers and how much information is exchanged through each one. The more routing information is exchanged, the more efficient the routers should be. However, the routers also generate more network traffic, and some routing protocols require a significant amount of configuration and management. The ZyWALL supports two routing protocols, RIP and OSPF. See Chapter 14 on page 313 for background information about these routing protocols.

11.3.1 Ethernet Edit
The Ethernet Edit screen lets you configure IP address assignment, interface parameters, RIP settings, OSPF settings, DHCP settings, connectivity check, and MAC address settings. To access this screen, click an Edit icon in the Ethernet Summary screen. (See Section 11.3 on page 222.)
The WAN interface's Edit > Configuration screen is shown here as an example.
Note: If you create IP address objects based on an interface's IP address, subnet, or gateway, the ZyWALL automatically updates every rule or setting that uses the object whenever the interface's IP address settings change. For example, if you change LAN1's IP address, the ZyWALL automatically updates the corresponding interface-based, LAN1 subnet address object.
With RIP, you can use Ethernet interfaces to do the following things.
- Enable and disable RIP in the underlying physical port or port group.
- Select which direction(s) routing information is exchanged - The ZyWALL can receive routing information, send routing information, or do both.
- Select which version of RIP to support in each direction - The ZyWALL supports RIP-1, RIP-2, and both versions.
- Select the broadcasting method used by RIP-2 packets - The ZyWALL can use subnet broadcasting or multicasting.
With OSPF, you can use Ethernet interfaces to do the following things.
- Enable and disable OSPF in the underlying physical port or port group.
- Select the area to which the interface belongs.
- Override the default link cost and authentication method for the selected area.
- Select in which direction(s) routing information is exchanged - The ZyWALL can receive routing information, send routing information, or do both.
- Set the priority used to identify the DR or BDR if one does not exist.

This screen's fields are described in the table below.
Table 51 Configuration > Network > Interface > Ethernet > Edit
| LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
| Show Advance Settings / Hide Advance Settings | Click this button to display a greater or lesser number of configuration fields. |
| General Settings | |
| Enable Interface | Select this to enable this interface. Clear this to disable this interface. |
| Interface Properties | |
| Interface Type | This field is read-only. |
| Internal is for connecting to a local network. Other corresponding configuration options: DHCP server and DHCP relay. The ZyWALL automatically adds default SNAT settings for traffic flowing from this interface to an external interface. | |
| External is for connecting to an external network (like the Internet). The ZyWALL automatically adds this interface to the default WAN trunk. | |
| For General, the rest of the screen's options do not automatically adjust and you must manually configure a policy route to add routing and SNAT settings for the interface. | |
| Interface Name | Specify a name for the interface. It can use alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and underscores, and it can be up to 11 characters long. |
| Port | This is the name of the Ethernet interface's physical port. |
| Zone | Select the zone to which this interface is to belong. You use zones to apply security settings such as firewall, remote management. |
| 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 | This option appears when Interface Properties is External or General. 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 39 on page 715. | |
| Use Fixed IP Address | This option appears when Interface Properties is External or General. Select this if you want to specify the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway manually. |
| IP Address | Enter the IP address for this interface. |
| Subnet Mask | 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 option appears when Interface Properties is External or General. 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 | This option appears when Interface Properties is External or General. 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 | These fields appear when Interface Properties is External or General. 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 | These fields appear when Interface Properties is Internal or General. |
| 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, use the 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. |
| Enable Logs for IP/MAC Binding Violation | Select this option to have the ZyWALL generate a log if a device connected to this interface attempts to use an IP address that is bound to another device's MAC address. |
| Static DHCP Table | Configure a list of static IP addresses the ZyWALL assigns to computers connected to the interface. Otherwise, the ZyWALL assigns an IP address dynamically using the interface's IP Pool Start Address and Pool Size. |
| Add | Click this to create a new entry. |
| Edit | Select an entry and click this to be able to modify it. |
| Remove | Select an entry and click this to delete it. |
| # | This field is a sequential value, and it is not associated with a specific entry. |
| IP Address | Enter the IP address to assign to a device with this entry's MAC address. |
| MAC Address | Enter the MAC address to which to assign this entry's IP address. |
| Description | Enter a description to help identify this static DHCP entry. You can use alphanumeric and ( )+/:=?!*#@%^- characters, and it can be up to 60 characters long. |
| RIP Setting | See Section 14.2 on page 314 for more information about RIP. |
| Enable RIP | Select this to enable RIP in this interface. |
| Direction | This field is effective when RIP is enabled. Select the RIP direction from the drop-down list box. BiDir - This interface sends and receives routing information. In-Only - This interface receives routing information. Out-Only - This interface sends routing information. |
| Send Version | This field is effective when RIP is enabled. Select the RIP version(s) used for sending RIP packets. Choices are 1, 2, and 1 and 2. |
| Receive Version | This field is effective when RIP is enabled. Select the RIP version(s) used for receiving RIP packets. Choices are 1, 2, and 1 and 2. |
| V2-Broadcast | This field is effective when RIP is enabled. Select this to send RIP-2 packets using subnet broadcasting; otherwise, the ZyWALL uses multicastating. |
| OSPF Setting | See Section 14.3 on page 315 for more information about OSPF. |
| Area | Select the area in which this interface belongs. Select None to disable OSPF in this interface. |
| Priority | Enter the priority (between 0 and 255) of this interface when the area is looking for a Designated Router (DR) or Backup DesignatedRouter (BDR). The highest-priority interface identifies the DR, and the second-highest-priority interface identifies the BDR. Set the priority to zero if the interface can not be the DR or BDR. |
| Link Cost | Enter the cost (between 1 and 65,535) to route packets through this interface. |
| Passive Interface | Select this to stop forwarding OSPF routing information from the selected interface. As a result, this interface only receives routing information. |
| Authentication | Select an authentication method, or disable authentication. To exchange OSPF routing information with peer border routers, you must use the same authentication method that they use. Choices are: Same-as-Area - use the default authentication method in the area None - disable authentication Text - authenticate OSPF routing information using a plain-text password MD5 - authenticate OSPF routing information using MD5 encryption |
| Text Authentication Key | This field is available if the Authentication is Text. Type the password for text authentication. The key can consist of alphanumeric characters and the underscore, and it can be up to 16 characters long. |
| MD5 Authentication ID | This field is available if the Authentication is MD5. Type the ID for MD5 authentication. The ID can be between 1 and 255. |
| MD5 Authentication Key | This field is available if the Authentication is MD5. Type the password for MD5 authentication. The password can consist of alphanumeric characters and the underscore, and it can be up to 16 characters long. |

11.4 PPP Interfaces
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 162 Example: PPPoE/PPTP Interfaces
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.
- You must also configure an ISP account object for the PPPoE/PPTP interface to use.
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.
- 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.

11.5 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 on the 3G card you use, the signal strength to the service provider's base station, and so on.
(refer to Section 11.5.1 on page 241).
- You can set the 3G device to connect to other networks if the signal strength of the home network is too low or it is unavailable.
Aside from selecting the 3G network, the 3G card may also select an available 2.5G or 2.75G network automatically. See the following table for a comparison between 2G, 2.5G, 2.75G and 3G of wireless technologies.

11.6 WLAN Interface General Screen
This feature is available for USG 20W only.
The following figure provides an example of a wireless network. The wireless network is in the blue circle. Wireless clients (A and B) connect to an access point (AP) to access other devices (such as the printer) or the Internet. Your ZyWALL works as an AP when you install a compatible WLAN card.

Figure 167 Example of a Wireless Network
- Every device in a wireless network must use the same SSID.
The SSID is the name of the wireless network. It stands for Service Set IDentity.
- Different wireless networks in the same area should use different channels.
Like radio stations or television channels, each wireless network uses a specific channel, or frequency, to send and receive information.
- Every wireless client in a wireless network must use security compatible with the AP.
Security stops unauthorized devices from using the wireless network and can protect the information that is sent in the wireless network.
Click Configuration > Network > Interface > WLAN to open the following screen. See Appendix C on page 803 for more details on wireless LANs.

Figure 168 Configuration > Network > Interface > WLAN
The following table describes the labels in this screen.
Table 58 Configuration > Network > Interface > WLAN
| LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
| Show Advance Settings / Hide Advance Settings | Click this button to display a greater or lesser number of configuration fields. |
| Enable WLAN Device | Select this to turn on the wireless LAN card. It is recommended that you configure the wireless security settings before you use this option to turn on a wireless LAN card. |
| 802.11 Band | Select whether you will let wireless clients connect to the ZyWALL using IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, or both. Select b Only to allow only IEEE 802.11b compliant WLAN devices to associate with the ZyWALL. Select g Only to allow only IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to associate with the ZyWALL. Select b+g to allow both IEEE802.11b and IEEE802.11g compliant WLAN devices to associate with the ZyWALL. The transmission rate of your ZyWALL might be reduced. Select b+g+n to allow IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g and IEEE802.11n compliant WLAN devices to associate with the ZyWALL. The transmission rate of your ZyWALL might be reduced. Select g+n to allow both IEEE802.11g and IEEE802.11n compliant WLAN devices to associate with the ZyWALL. The transmission rate of your ZyWALL might be reduced. |
| Channel | This allows you to set the operating channel depending on your particular region. Select a channel from the drop-down list box. |
| CTS/RTS Threshold | Use CTS/RTS to reduce data collisions on the wireless network if you have wireless clients that are associated with the same AP but out of range of one another. When enabled, a wireless client sends an RTS (Request To Send) and then waits for a CTS (Clear To Send) before it transmits. This stops wireless clients from transmitting packets at the same time (and causing data collisions). A wireless client sends an RTS for all packets larger than the number (of bytes) that you enter here. Set the RTS/CTS equal to or higher than the fragmentation threshold to turn RTS/CTS off. |
| Fragmentation Threshold | This is the threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for directed messages. It is the maximum data fragment size that can be sent. |
| Output Power | Select the percentage of output power that this WLAN card is to use. If there is a high density of APs in the area, decrease the output power of the ZyWALL to reduce interference with other APs. See the product specifications for more information on your ZyWALL's output power. |
Table 58 Configuration > Network > Interface > WLAN
| LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
| QoS | Select the Quality of Service priority for this traffic. ·If you select WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) from the QoS list, the priority of a data packet depends on the packet's IEEE 802.1q or DSCP header. If a packet has no WMM value assigned to it, it is assigned the default priority. ·If you select NONE, the ZyWALL applies no priority to traffic on this SSID. |
| 802.11n Settings | |
| Aggregation MSDU(A-MSDU) | This field is available only when 802.11b+g+n or 802.11g+n is selected as the 802.11 Band. Check this to allow the grouping of several A-MSDUs (Aggregate MAC Service Data Units) into one large A-MPDU (Aggregate MAC Protocol Data Unit). This function allows faster data transfer rates. |
| Auto Block ACK | This field is available only when 802.11b+g+n or 802.11g+n is selected as the 802.11 Band. Check this to add the block ACK (BA) mechanism, in which multiple frames can be streamed out and acknowledged by a single frame. This function allows cutting the wait time between frames and increasing the data throughput. |
| Guard Interval | This field is available only when 802.11b+g+n or 802.11g+n is selected as the 802.11 Band. Select Short to increase data throughput. However, this may make data transfer more prone to errors. Select Long to prioritize data integrity. This may be because your wireless network is busy and congested. The guard interval is the gap introduced between data transmission from users in order to reduce interference. Reducing the GI increases data transfer rates but also increases interference. Increasing the GI reduces data transfer rates but also reduces interference. |

11.6.2 WLAN Add/Edit: WEP Security
WEP provides a mechanism for encrypting data using encryption keys. Both the ZyWALL and the wireless stations must use the same WEP key to encrypt and decrypt data. Your ZyWALL allows you to configure up to four 64-bit or 128-bit WEP keys, but only one key can be used at any one time.
Note: WEP is extremely insecure. Its encryption can be broken by an attacker, using widely-available software. It is strongly recommended that you use a more effective security mechanism. Use the strongest security mechanism that all the wireless devices in your network support. For example, use WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK or WPA or WPA2 if your wireless devices support it. If your wireless devices support nothing stronger than WEP, use the highest encryption level available.
To configure and enable WEP encryption, click Configuration > Network > Interface > WLAN > Add (or Edit) to open the WLAN Edit screen. Select WEP as the Security Type. The following screen shows the WEP security fields.

Figure 170 Configuration > Network > Interface > WLAN > Add (WEP Security)

Table 61 Configuration > Network > Interface > WLAN > Add (WEP Security)
| LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
| WEP Encryption | WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) provides data encryption to prevent unauthorized wireless stations from accessing data transmitted over the wireless network. Select 64-bit WEP or 128-bit WEP to enable data encryption. |
| Key 1 to Key 4 | If you chose 64-bit WEP in the WEP Encryption field, then enter any 5 characters (ASCII string) or 5 pairs of hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") preceded by 0x for each key. If you chose 128-bit WEP in the WEP Encryption field, then enter 13 characters (ASCII string) or 13 pairs of hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") preceded by 0x for each key. There are four data encryption keys to secure your data from eavesdropping by unauthorized wireless users. The values for the keys must be set up exactly the same on the access points as they are on the wireless stations. |
11.6.3 WLAN Add/Edit: WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK Security
WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK security has all of the WLAN interface's users share the same password (pre-shared key).
To configure and enable WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK security, click Configuration > Network > Interface > WLAN > Add (or Edit) to open the WLAN Edit screen. Select WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, or WPA/WPA2-PSK as the Security Type. WPA/WPA2-PSK means wireless clients can use either WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK to connect to the WLAN interface.

Figure 171 Configuration > Network > Interface > WLAN > Add (WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, or WPA/WPA2-PSK Security)
The following table describes the WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK-related wireless LAN security labels.
Table 62 Configuration > Network > Interface > WLAN > Add (WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, or WPA/WPA2-PSK Security)
| LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
| Pre Shared Key | The encryption mechanisms used for WPA and WPA-PSK are the same. The only difference between the two is that WPA-PSK uses a simple common password, instead of user-specific credentials.Type a pre-shared key from 8 to 63 case-sensitive ASCII characters (including spaces and symbols). |
| ReAuthentication Timer | Specify how often wireless stations have to resend usernames and passwords in order to stay connected.Note: If a RADIUS server authenticates wireless stations, the reauthentication timer on the RADIUS server has priority. |
| Idle Timeout | The ZyWALL automatically disconnects a wireless station from the wired network after a period of inactivity. The wireless station needs to enter the username and password again before access to the wired network is allowed. |
| Group Key Update Timer | The Group Key Update Timer is the rate at which the AP sends a new group key out to all clients. The re-keying process is the WPA equivalent of automatically changing the group key for an AP and all stations in a WLAN on a periodic basis. Setting of the Group Key Update Timer is also supported in WPA-PSK mode. |
11.6.4 WLAN Add/Edit: WPA/WPA2 Security
With WPA or WPA2 security, each user can have a separate user name and password. The ZyWALL uses an external RADIUS server or the ZyWALL's internal user account list to authenticate the user names and passwords.
To configure and enable WPA or WPA2 security, click Configuration > Network > Interface > WLAN > Add (or Edit) to open the WLAN Edit screen. Select WPA-Enterprise, WPA2-Enterprise, or WPA/WPA2-Enterprise as the Security Type. WPA/WPA2-Enterprise means wireless clients can use either WPA or WPA2 to connect to the WLAN interface. The following figure shows the security fields.

Figure 172 Configuration > Network > Interface > WLAN > Add (WPA/WPA2 Security)
The following table describes the WPA/WPA2-related wireless LAN security labels.
Table 63 Configuration > Network > Interface > WLAN > Add (WPA/WPA2 Security)
| LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
| Authentication Type | Select what the ZyWALL uses to authenticate the wireless clients. Select Auth Method to be able to specify an authentication method object that you have already configured. The authentication method can have the ZyWALL check a user's user name and password against the ZyWALL's local database, a remote LDAP, RADIUS, a Active Directory server, or more than one of these. See Chapter 38 on page 583 for how to create authentication method objects. Select Auth Server to be able to manually specify a RADIUS server's settings in this screen instead of using an authentication method object. |
| Authentication Method | This field displays if you set the Authentication Type field to Auth Method. Select an authentication method object that defines how the ZyWALL authenticates a wireless user. The ZyWALL's default configuration also includes an authentication method object named "default" that you can use. You can configure the "default" authentication method object, but it's default configuration uses the ZyWALL's local database for authentication. |
| TTLS Certificate | This field displays if you select Authentication Method. Select the certificate the ZyWALL uses to authenticate itself to the wireless clients. The certificates you can select from are the ones already configured in the My Certificates screen. EAP-TTLS (Tunnelled Transport Layer Service) is an extension of the EAP-TLS authentication that uses certificates for only the server-side authentications to establish a secure connection. The wireless clients must use TTLS authentication protocol and PAP inside the TTLS secure tunnel. |
| The RADIUS fields display if you set the Authentication Type field to Auth Server. | |
| Radius Server IP Address | Enter the IP address of the external authentication server in dotted decimal notation. |
Table 63 Configuration > Network > Interface > WLAN > Add (WPA/WPA2 Security)
| LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
| Radius Server Port | Enter the RADIUS server's listening port number (the default is 1812). |
| Radius Server Secret | Enter a password (up to 31 alphanumeric characters) as the key to be shared between the external authentication server and the ZyWALL. The key is not sent over the network. This key must be the same on the external authentication server and ZyWALL. |
| ReAuthentication Timer | Specify how often wireless stations have to resend user names and passwords in order to stay connected. Note: If wireless station authentication is done using a RADIUS server, the reauthentication timer on the RADIUS server has priority. |
| Idle Timeout | The ZyWALL automatically disconnects a wireless station from the wired network after a period of inactivity. The wireless station needs to enter the user name and password again before access to the wired network is allowed. |
| Group Key Update Timer | The Group Key Update Timer is the rate at which the AP sends a new group key out to all clients. The re-keying process is the WPA equivalent of automatically changing the group key for an AP and all stations in a WLAN on a periodic basis. Setting of the Group Key Update Timer is also supported in WPA-PSK mode. |
11.7 WLAN Interface MAC Filter
This feature is available for USG 20W only.
The MAC filter allows you to give specific wireless clients exclusive access to the ZyWALL (allow association) or block specific devices from accessing the ZyWALL (deny association) based on the devices' MAC addresses.
Every IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC address is assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example, 00:A0:C5:00:00:02. You need to know the MAC addresses of the devices to configure this screen.
If you set the filter to deny access and add the MAC address of a connected device, the ZyWALL drops the device's connection immediately. However, if you set the filter to allow only the specified MAC addresses, the ZyWALL does not immediately disconnect all connected wireless clients.
To display your ZyWALL's MAC filter settings, click Configuration > Network > Interface > WLAN > MAC Filter. The screen appears as shown.

Figure 173 Network > Interface > WLAN > MAC Filter
The following table describes the labels in this screen.
Table 64 Configuration > Network > Interface > WLAN > MAC Filter

11.8 VLAN Interfaces
A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) divides a physical network into multiple logical networks. The standard is defined in IEEE 802.1q.

Figure 174 Example: Before VLAN
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.

Figure 175 Example: After VLAN
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.
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.

| IP Address Assignment | |
| Get Automatically | Select this if this interface is a DHCP client. In this case, the DHCP server configures the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway automatically. You should not select this if the interface is assigned to a VRRP group. See Chapter 39 on page 715. |
| 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 ZyWALL can regularly check the connection to the gateway you specified to make sure it is still available. You specify how often to check 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 | The DHCP settings are available for the OPT, LAN and DMZ interfaces. |
| 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 Add Static DHCP. |
| 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 the ZyWALL enforce links between specific IP addresses and specific MAC addresses for this VLAN. 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. |
| Enable Logs for IP/MAC Binding Violation | Select this option to have the ZyWALL generate a log if a device connected to this VLAN attempts to use an IP address that is bound to another device's MAC address. |
| Static DHCP Table | Configure a list of static IP addresses the ZyWALL assigns to computers connected to the interface. Otherwise, the ZyWALL assigns an IP address dynamically using the interface's IP Pool Start Address and Pool Size. |
| Add | Click this to create a new entry. |
| Edit | Select an entry and click this to be able to modify it. |
| Remove | Select an entry and click this to delete it. |

11.9 Bridge Interfaces
This section introduces bridges and bridge interfaces and then explains the screens for bridge interfaces.
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 in the table. There is no entry yet, so the bridge broadcasts the packet on ports 1, 3, and 4.
Table 67 Example: Bridge Table After Computer A Sends a Packet to Computer B
| MAC ADDRESS | PORT |
| 0A:0A:0A:0A:0A:0A | 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.
Table 68 Example: Bridge Table After Computer B Responds to Computer A
| MAC ADDRESS | PORT |
| 0A:0A:0A:0A:0A:0A | 2 |
| 0B:0B:0B:0B:0B:0B | 4 |
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 connectivity 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 WLAN interfaces
- 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 lan1 and vlan1.
Table 69 Example: Routing Table Before and After Bridge Interface br0 Is Created
| IP ADDRESS(ES) | DESTINATION |
| 210.210.210.0/24 | lan1 |
| 210.211.1.0/24 | lan1:1 |
| 221.221.221.0/24 | vlan0 |
| 222.222.222.0/24 | vlan1 |
| 230.230.230.192/26 | wan |
| 241.241.241.241/32 | dmz |
| 242.242.242.242/32 | dmz |
| IP ADDRESS(ES) | DESTINATION |
| 221.221.221.0/24 | vlan0 |
| 230.230.230.192/26 | wan |
| 241.241.241.241/32 | dmz |
| 242.242.242.242/32 | dmz |
| 250.250.250.0/23 | br0 |
In this example, virtual Ethernet interface lan1:1 is also removed from the routing table when lan1 is added to br0. Virtual interfaces are automatically added to or
remove from a bridge interface when the underlying interface is added or removed.

11.10 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.

Figure 181 Example: Entry in the Routing Table Derived from Interfaces
Table 73 Example: Routing Table Entries for Interfaces
| IP ADDRESS(ES) | DESTINATION |
| 100.100.1.1/16 | lan1 |
| 200.200.200.1/24 | wan1 |
For example, if the ZyWALL gets a packet with a destination address of 100.100.25.25, it routes the packet to interface lan1. If the ZyWALL gets a packet with a destination address of 200.200.200.200, it routes the packet to interface wan1.
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 74 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 75 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 284.
- Gateway - The interface provides the same gateway you specify for the interface. See IP Address Assignment on page 284.
- 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.
12.1 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.
12.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
- Use the Trunk summary screen (Section 12.2 on page 292) 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 12.3 on page 293) to configure which interfaces belong to each trunk and the load balancing algorithm each trunk uses.
12.1.2 What You Need to Know
- 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.
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 session2. 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.
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 12.4 on page 295), the Weighted Round Robin (WRR) algorithm sets the ZyWALL to send traffic through each interface in turn. In addition, the interfaces are assigned weights. An interface with a larger weight gets more of the traffic than an interface with a smaller weight.
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.

| Member | Click this icon to open a screen where you can select an interface to be a group member. |
| Mode | Select Active to have the ZyWALL always attempt to use this connection. Select Passive to have the ZyWALL only use this connection when all of the connections set to active are down. You can only set one of a group's interfaces to passive mode. |
| Weight | This field displays with the weighted round robin load balancing algorithm. Specify the weight (1~10) for the interface. The weights of the different member interfaces form a ratio. This ratio determines how much traffic the ZyWALL sends through each member interface. The higher an interface's weight is (relative to the weights of the interfaces), the more traffic the ZyWALL sends through that interface. |
| Ingress Bandwidth | This field displays with the least load first load balancing algorithm. It displays the maximum number of kilobits of data the ZyWALL is to allow to come in through the interface per second. |
| Egress Bandwidth | This field displays with the least load first or spillover load balancing algorithm. It displays the maximum number of kilobits of data the ZyWALL is to send out through the interface per second. |
| Spillover | This field displays with the spillover load balancing algorithm. Specify the maximum bandwidth of traffic in kilobits per second (1~1048576) to send out through the interface before using another interface. When this spillover bandwidth limit is exceeded, the ZyWALL sends new session traffic through the next interface. The traffic of existing sessions still goes through the interface on which they started.The ZyWALL uses the group member interfaces in the order that they are listed. |

| Cancel | Click Cancel to exit this screen without saving. |
12.4 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
13.1 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 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.
Figure 184 Example of Policy Routing Topology

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.
13.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
-
Use the Policy Route screens (see Section 13.2 on page 300) to list and configure policy routes.
-
Use the Static Route screens (see Section 13.3 on page 307) to list and configure static routes.
13.1.2 What You Need to Know
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. You can also use policy routes to manage other types of traffic (like ICMP traffic) and send traffic through VPN tunnels.
- 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.
Note: The ZyWALL automatically uses SNAT for traffic it routes from internal interfaces to external interfaces. For example LAN to WAN traffic.
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 14 on page 313 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.
DiffServ
QoS is used to prioritize source-to-destination traffic flows. All packets in the same flow are given the same priority. CoS (class of service) is a way of managing traffic in a network by grouping similar types of traffic together and treating each type as a class. You can use CoS to give different priorities to different packet types.
DiffServ (Differentiated Services) is a class of service (CoS) model that marks packets so that they receive specific per-hop treatment at DiffServ-compliant network devices along the route based on the application types and traffic flow. Packets are marked with DiffServ Code Points (DSCPs) indicating the level of service desired. This allows the intermediary DiffServ-compliant network devices to handle the packets differently depending on the code points without the need to negotiate paths or remember state information for every flow. In addition, applications do not have to request a particular service or give advanced notice of where the traffic is going.
DSCP Marking and Per-Hop Behavior
DiffServ defines a new DS (Differentiated Services) field to replace the Type of Service (TOS) field in the IP header. The DS field contains a 2-bit unused field and a 6-bit DSCP field which can define up to 64 service levels. The following figure illustrates the DS field.
| DSCP (6 bits) | Unused (2 bits) |
DSCP is backward compatible with the three precedence bits in the ToS octet so that non-DiffServ compliant, ToS-enabled network device will not conflict with the DSCP mapping.
The DSCP value determines the forwarding behavior, the PHB (Per-Hop Behavior), that each packet gets across the DiffServ network. Based on the marking rule, different kinds of traffic can be marked for different kinds of forwarding. Resources can then be allocated according to the DSCP values and the configured policies.

13.2 Policy Route Screen
Click Configuration > 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.

| 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 the Service field. |
| Trigger Service | Select a service that a remote server sends. It causes (triggers) the ZyWALL to forward the traffic (received on the outgoing interface) to the client computer that requested the service. |
| 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 0 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 enable Maximize 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 0, the bandwidth priority will be changed to 0 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. |

13.4 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.
Assured Forwarding (AF) PHB for DiffServ
Assured Forwarding (AF) behavior is defined in RFC 2597. The AF behavior group defines four AF classes. Inside each class, packets are given a high, medium or low drop precedence. The drop precedence determines the probability that routers in the network will drop packets when congestion occurs. If congestion occurs between classes, the traffic in the higher class (smaller numbered class) is generally given priority. Combining the classes and drop precedence produces the
following twelve DSCP encodings from AF11 through AF43. The decimal equivalent is listed in brackets.
Table 82 Assured Forwarding (AF) Behavior Group
| Class 1 | Class 2 | Class 3 | Class 4 | |
| Low Drop Precedence | AF11 (10) | AF21 (18) | AF31 (26) | AF41 (34) |
| Medium Drop Precedence | AF12 (12) | AF22 (20) | AF32 (28) | AF42 (36) |
| High Drop Precedence | AF13 (14) | AF23 (22) | AF33 (30) | AF43 (38) |
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.

Figure 189 Trigger Port Forwarding Example
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
14.1 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 6.6 on page 103 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.
14.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
- Use the RIP screen (see Section 14.2 on page 314) to configure the ZyWALL to use RIP to receive and/or send routing information.
- Use the OSPF screen (see Section 14.3 on page 315) to configure general OSPF settings and manage OSPF areas.
- Use the OSPF Area Add/Edit screen (see Section 14.3.2 on page 322) to create or edit an OSPF area.
14.1.2 What You Need to Know
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 83 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 14.4 on page 324 for background information on routing protocols.
14.2 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 325.
- 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.

| LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
| Authentication | |
| Authentication | Select the authentication method used in the RIP network. This authentication protects the integrity, but not the confidentiality, of routing updates. None uses no authentication. Text uses a plain text password that is sent over the network (not very secure). MD5 uses an MD5 password and authentication ID (most secure). |

| MD5 Authentication ID | This field is available if the Authentication is MD5. Type the ID for MD5 authentication. The ID can be between 1 and 255. |
| MD5 Authentication Key | This field is available if the Authentication is MD5. Type the password for MD5 authentication. The password can consist of alphanumeric characters and the underscore, and it can be up to 16 characters long. |
| Redistribute | |
| Active OSPF | Select this to use RIP to advertise routes that were learned through OSPF. |
| Metric | Type the cost for routes provided by OSPF. The metric represents the "cost" of transmission for routing purposes. RIP routing uses hop count as the measurement of cost, with 1 usually used for directly connected networks. The number does not have to be precise, but it must be between 0 and 16. In practice, 2 or 3 is usually used. |
| Active Static Route | Select this to use RIP to advertise routes that were learned through the static route configuration. |
| Metric | Type the cost for routes provided by the static route configuration. The metric represents the "cost" of transmission for routing purposes. RIP routing uses hop count as the measurement of cost, with 1 usually used for directly connected networks. The number does not have to be precise, but it must be between 0 and 16. In practice, 2 or 3 is usually used. |

14.3 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 191 OSPF: Types of Areas
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 85 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.

Figure 192 OSPF: Types of Routers
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 193 OSPF: Virtual Link
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 11.3.1 on page 223.
4 Set up virtual links, as needed.
14.3.1 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.
Click Configuration > Network > Routing > OSPF to open the following screen.

14.4 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.
15.1 Zones Overview
Set up zones to configure network security and network policies in the ZyWALL. A zone is a group of interfaces and/or VPN tunnels. The ZyWALL uses zones instead of interfaces in many security and policy settings, such as firewall rules, Anti-X, and remote management.
Zones cannot overlap. Each Ethernet interface, VLAN interface, bridge interface, PPPoE/PPTP 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.

Figure 197 Example: Zones
15.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
Use the Zone screens (see Section 15.2 on page 329) to manage the ZyWALL's zones.
15.1.2 What You Need to Know
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 197 on page 327, 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 197 on page 327, 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 197 on page 327, 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 197 on page 327, 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.
Finding Out More
- See Section 6.5.7 on page 98 for related information on these screens.
- See Section 7.1 on page 107 for an example of configuring Ethernet interfaces, port groups, and zones.

16.1 DDNS Overview
Dynamic DNS (DDNS) services let you use a domain name with a dynamic IP address.
16.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
- Use the DDNS screen (see Section 16.2 on page 332) to view a list of the configured DDNS domain names and their details.
- Use the DDNS Add/Edit screen (see Section 16.2.1 on page 334) to add a domain name to the ZyWALL or to edit the configuration of an existing domain name.
16.1.2 What You Need to Know
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 91 DDNS Service Providers
| PROVIDER | SERVICE TYPES SUPPORTED | WEBSITE |
| 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 |
| 3322 | 3322 Dynamic DNS, 3322 Static DNS | www.3322.org |
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.

17.1 NAT Overview
NAT (Network Address Translation - NAT, RFC 1631) is the translation of the IP address of a host in a packet. For example, the source address of an outgoing packet, used within one network is changed to a different IP address known within another network. Use Network Address Translation (NAT) to make computers on a private network behind the ZyWALL 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.

Figure 202 Multiple Servers Behind NAT Example

Virtual Server - This makes computers on a private network behind the ZyWALL available to a public network outside the ZyWALL (like the Internet).1:1 NAT - If the private network server will initiate sessions to the outside clients, select this to have the ZyWALL translate the source IP address of the server's outgoing traffic to the same public IP address that the outside clients use to access the server.Many 1:1 NAT - If you have a range of private network servers that will initiate sessions to the outside clients and a range of public IP addresses, select this to have the ZyWALL translate the source IP address of each server's outgoing traffic to the same one of the public IP addresses that the outside clients use to access the server. The private and public ranges must have the same number of IP addresses.One many 1:1 NAT rule works like multiple 1:1 NAT rules, but it eases configuration effort since you only create one rule. |
| Incoming Interface | Select the interface on which packets for the NAT rule must be received. It can be an Ethernet, VLAN, bridge, or PPPoE/PPTP interface. |

| Enable NAT Loopback | Enable NAT loopback to allow users connected to any interface (instead of just the specified Incoming Interface) to use the NAT rule's specified Original IP address to access the Mapped IP device. For users connected to the same interface as the Mapped IP device, the ZyWALL uses that interface's IP address as the source address for the traffic it sends from the users to the Mapped IP device. For example, if you configure a NAT rule to forward traffic from the WAN to a LAN server, enabling NAT loopback allows users connected to other interfaces to also access the server. For LAN users, the ZyWALL uses the LAN interface's IP address as the source address for the traffic it sends to the LAN server. See NAT Loopback on page 343 for more details. If you do not enable NAT loopback, this NAT rule only applies to packets received on the rule's specified incoming interface. |
| Firewall | By default the firewall blocks incoming connections from external addresses. After you configure your NAT rule settings, click the Firewall link to configure a firewall rule to allow the NAT rule's traffic to come in.The ZyWALL checks NAT rules before it applies To-ZyWALL firewall rules, so To-ZyWALL firewall rules do not apply to traffic that is forwarded by NAT rules. The ZyWALL still checks other firewall rules according to the source IP address and mapped IP address. |

17.3 NAT Technical Reference
Here is more detailed information about NAT on the ZyWALL.
NAT Loopback
Suppose a NAT 1:1 rule maps a public IP address to the private IP address of a LAN SMTP e-mail server to give WAN users access. NAT loopback allows other users to also use the rule's original IP to access the mail server.
For example, a LAN user's computer at IP address 192.168.1.89 queries a public DNS server to resolve the SMTP server's domain name (xxx.LAN-SMTP.com in this example) and gets the SMTP server's mapped public IP address of 1.1.1.1.

Figure 205 LAN Computer Queries a Public DNS Server
The LAN user's computer then sends traffic to IP address 1.1.1.1. NAT loopback uses the IP address of the ZyWALL's LAN interface (192.168.1.1) as the source address of the traffic going from the LAN users to the LAN SMTP server.

Figure 206 LAN to LAN Traffic
The LAN SMTP server replies to the ZyWALL's LAN IP address and the ZyWALL changes the source address to 1.1.1.1 before sending it to the LAN user. The return traffic's source matches the original destination address (1.1.1.1). If the
SMTP server replied directly to the LAN user without the traffic going through NAT, the source would not match the original destination address which would cause the LAN user's computer to shut down the session.

Figure 207 LAN to LAN Return Traffic
HTTP Redirect
18.1 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 LAN1 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.

Figure 208 HTTP Redirect Example
18.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
Use the HTTP Redirect screens (see Section 18.2 on page 349) to display and edit the HTTP redirect rules.
18.1.2 What You Need to Know
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 HTTP Redirect
3 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 208 on page 347 work, make sure you have the following settings.
For HTTP traffic between lan1 and dmz:
- a from LAN1 to WAN firewall rule (default) to allow HTTP requests from lan1 to dmz. Responses to this request are allowed automatically.
- a HTTP redirect rule to forward HTTP traffic from Ian1 to proxy server A.
For HTTP traffic between dmz and wan1:
- a from DMZ to WAN firewall rule (default) to allow HTTP requests from dmz to wan1. Responses to these requests are allowed automatically.
- a policy route to forward HTTP traffic from proxy server A to the Internet.

19.1 ALG Overview
Application Layer Gateway (ALG) allows the following applications to operate properly through the ZyWALL's NAT.
- SIP - Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) - An application-layer protocol that can be used to create voice and multimedia sessions over Internet.
- H.323 - A teleconferencing protocol suite that provides audio, data and video conferencing.
- FTP - File Transfer Protocol - an Internet file transfer service.
The following example shows SIP signaling (1) and audio (2) sessions between SIP clients A and B and the SIP server.
Figure 211 SIP ALG Example

The ALG feature is only needed for traffic that goes through the ZyWALL's NAT.
19.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
Use the ALG screen (Section 19.2 on page 355) to set up SIP, H.323, and FTP ALG settings.
19.1.2 What You Need to Know
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.

Figure 212 H.323 ALG Example
SIP ALG
-
SIP phones can be in any zone (including LAN, DMZ, WAN), and the SIP server and SIP clients can be in the same network or different networks.
-
There should be only one SIP server (total) on the ZyWALL's private networks. Any other SIP servers must be on the WAN. So for example you could have a Back-to-Back User Agent such as the IPPBX x6004 or an asterisk PBX on the DMZ or on the LAN but not on both.
- 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 TURN (Traversal Using Relay NAT) 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 NAT (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 NAT (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 NAT 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.

Figure 213 VoIP Calls from the WAN with Multiple Outgoing Calls
VoIP with Multiple WAN IP Addresses
With multiple WAN IP addresses on the ZyWALL, you can configure different firewall and NAT (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 NAT 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.

19.3 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.
20.1 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.

Figure 216 IP/MAC Binding Example
20.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
- Use the Summary and Edit screens (Section 20.2 on page 360) to bind IP addresses to MAC addresses.
- Use the Exempt List screen (Section 20.3 on page 363) to configure ranges of IP addresses to which the ZyWALL does not apply IP/MAC binding.
20.1.2 What You Need to Know
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 (for USG 20W) interfaces. You can also enable or disable IP/MAC binding and logging in an interface's configuration screen.

Authentication Policy
21.1 Overview
Use authentication policies to control who can access the network. You can authenticate users (require them to log in) and even perform Endpoint Security (EPS) checking to make sure users' computers comply with defined corporate policies before they can access the network. After a user passes authentication the user's computer must meet the endpoint security object's Operating System (OS) option and security requirements to gain access. See Chapter 42 on page 621 for how to configure endpoint security objects to use with authentication policies.
In the following figure the ZyWALL's authentication policy requires endpoint security checking on local user A. A passes authentication and the endpoint security check and is given access. Local user B passes authentication but fails the endpoint security check and is denied access.

Figure 221 Authentication Policy Using Endpoint Security
21.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
Use the Configuration > Auth. Policy screens (Section 21.2 on page 366) to create and manage authentication policies.
21.1.2 What You Need to Know
Authentication Policy and VPN
Authentication policies are applied based on a traffic flow's source and destination IP addresses. If VPN traffic matches an authentication policy's source and destination IP addresses, the user must pass authentication.
Multiple Endpoint Security Objects
You can set an authentication policy to use multiple endpoint security objects. This allows checking of computers with different OSs or security settings. When a client attempts to log in, the ZyWALL checks the client's computer against the endpoint security objects one-by-one. The client's computer must match one of the authentication policy's endpoint security objects in order to gain access.
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 display the Login screen when users attempt to send 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.

22.1 Overview
Use the firewall to block or allow services that use static port numbers. The firewall can also limit the number of user sessions.
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 LAN1 zone and responses to this request are allowed. However, other Telnet traffic initiated from the WAN or DMZ zone and destined for the LAN1 zone is blocked. Communications between the WAN and the DMZ zones are allowed. The firewall allows VPN traffic between any of the networks.

Figure 225 Default Firewall Action
22.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
- Use the Firewall screens (Section 22.2 on page 381) to enable or disable the firewall and asymmetrical routes, and manage and configure firewall rules.
- Use the Session Limit screens (see Section 22.3 on page 386) to limit the number of concurrent NAT/firewall sessions a client can use.
22.1.2 What You Need to Know
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 is the default firewall behavior for traffic going through the ZyWALL in various directions.
Table 105 Default Firewall Behavior
| FROM ZONE TO ZONE | BEHAVIOR |
| From WAN to ZyWALL | Traffic from the WAN to the ZyWALL itself is allowed for certain default services described in To-ZyWALL Rules on page 375. All other WAN to ZyWALL traffic is dropped. |
| From WAN to any (other than the ZyWALL) | Traffic from the WAN to any of the networks behind the ZyWALL is dropped. |
| From DMZ to ZyWALL | Traffic from the DMZ to the ZyWALL itself is allowed for certain default services described in To-ZyWALL Rules on page 375. All other DMZ to ZyWALL traffic is dropped. |
| From DMZ to any (other than the ZyWALL) | Traffic from the DMZ to any of the networks behind the ZyWALL is dropped. |
| From WLAN to WAN (USG 20W) | Traffic from the WLAN to the WAN is allowed. |
| From WLAN to ZyWALL (USG 20W) | Traffic from the WLAN to the ZyWALL itself is allowed for certain default services described in To-ZyWALL Rules on page 375. All other WLAN to ZyWALL traffic is dropped. |
| From WLAN to any (other than the ZyWALL) (USG 20W) | Traffic from the WLAN to any of the networks behind the ZyWALL is dropped. |
| From ANY to ANY | Traffic that does not match any firewall rule is allowed. So for example, LAN to WAN, LAN to DMZ, and LAN to WLAN traffic is allowed. This also includes traffic to or from interfaces or VPN tunnels that are not assigned to a zone (extra-zone traffic). |
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, WLAN (USG 20W), or WAN computers to access or manage the ZyWALL.
- The ZyWALL drops most packets from the WAN zone to the ZyWALL itself, except for 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 43 on page 629 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 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 LAN1 zone for example), you can configure a new LAN1 to LAN1 firewall rule or use intrazone 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.
Session Limits
Accessing the ZyWALL or network resources through the ZyWALL requires a NAT session and corresponding firewall session. Peer to peer applications, such as file sharing applications, may use a large number of NAT sessions. A single client could use all of the available NAT sessions and prevent others from connecting to or through the ZyWALL. The ZyWALL lets you limit the number of concurrent NAT/ firewall sessions a client can use.

22.1.3 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 226 Blocking All LAN to WAN IRC Traffic Example
Your firewallwould have the following rules.
Table 106 Blocking All LAN to WAN IRC Traffic Example
| # | USER | SOURCE | DESTINATION | SCHEDULE | SERVICE | ACTION |
| 1 | Any | Any | Any | Any | IRC | Deny |
| 2 | 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 LAN1 to WAN traffic.
The ZyWALL applies the firewall rules in order. So for this example, when the ZyWALL receives traffic from the 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 second rule and the ZyWALL forwards it.
Now suppose that your company wants to let the CEO use IRC. You can configure a LAN1 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 286 for information on DHCP).
Now you configure a LAN1 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.

Figure 227 Limited LAN to WAN IRC Traffic Example
Your firewallwould have the following configuration.
Table 107 Limited LAN1 to WAN IRC Traffic Example 1
| # | USER | SOURCE | DESTINATION | SCHEDULE | SERVICE | ACTION |
| 1 | Any | 192.168.1.7 | Any | Any | IRC | Allow |
| 2 | Any | Any | Any | Any | IRC | Deny |
| 3 | Any | Any | Any | Any | Any | Allow |
- The first row allows the LAN1 computer at IP address 192.168.1.7 to access the IRC service on the WAN.
- The second row blocks LAN1 access to the IRC service on the WAN.
- The third row is the firewall's default policy of allowing all traffic from the LAN1 to go to the WAN.
Alternatively, you configure a LAN1 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 firewallwould have the following configuration.
Table 108 Limited LAN1 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 |
| 3 | Any | Any | Any | Any | Any | Allow |
- The first row allows any LAN1 computer to access the IRC service on the WAN by logging into the ZyWALL with the CEO's user name.
- The second row blocks LAN1 access to the IRC service on the WAN.
- The third row is the firewall's default policy of allowing all traffic from the LAN1 to go to the WAN.
The rule for the CEO must come before the rule that blocks all LAN1 to WAN IRC traffic. If the rule that blocks all LAN1 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.
22.1.4 Firewall Rule Configuration Example
The following Internet firewall rule example allows Doom players from the WAN to IP addresses 192.168.1.10 through 192.168.1.15 (Dest_1) on the LAN1.
1 Click Configuration > Firewall. In the summary of firewall rules click Add in the heading row to configure a new first entry. Remember the sequence (priority) of the rules is important since they are applied in order.

22.2 The Firewall Screen
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 LAN1 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 LAN1 in Subnet 1.

Figure 233 Using Virtual Interfaces to Avoid Asymmetrical Routes
22.2.1 Configuring the Firewall Screen
Click Configuration > 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 NAT rules to allow computers on the WAN to access LAN devices. See Chapter 17 on page 337 for more information.
-
The ZyWALL applies NAT (Destination NAT) settings before applying the firewall rules. So for example, if you configure a NAT entry 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 7.9 on page 132 for an example.
-
The ordering of your rules is very important as rules are applied in sequence.

23.1 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.

Figure 238 IPSec VPN Example
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).
23.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
-
Use the VPN Connection screens (see Section 23.2 on page 394) 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 23.2.1 on page 396) 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.
23.1.2 What You Need to Know
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.

Figure 239 VPN: IKE SA and IPSec SA
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.
Application Scenarios
The ZyWALL's application scenarios make it easier to configure your VPN connection settings.
Table 113 IPSec VPN Application Scenarios
| SITE-TO-SITE | SITE-TO-SITE WITH DYNAMIC PEER | REMOTE ACCESS (SERVER ROLE) | REMOTE ACCESS (CLIENT ROLE) |
| Static IP Static IP router can initiate the VPN tunnel. The remote IPSec router can also initiate the VPN tunnel if this ZyWALL has a static IP address or a domain name. | Dynamic IP Static IP router's address, but you specify the remote policy (the addresses of the devices behind the remote IPSec router). This ZyWALL must have a static IP address or a domain name. Only the remote IPSec router can initiate the VPN tunnel. | Choose this to allow incoming connections from IPSec VPN clients. The clients have dynamic IP addresses and are also known as dial-in users. You don't specify the addresses of the client IPSec routers or the remote policy. This creates a dynamic IPSec VPN rule that can let multiple clients connect. Only the clients can initiate the VPN tunnel. | Choose this to connect to an IPSec server. This ZyWALL is the client (dial-in user). Client role ZyWALLs initiate IPSec VPN connections to a server role ZyWALL. This ZyWALL can have a dynamic IP address. The IPSec server doesn't configure this ZyWALL's IP address or the addresses of the devices behind it. Only this ZyWALL can initiate the VPN tunnel. |
Finding Out More
- See Section 6.5.14 on page 101 for related information on these screens.
See Section 23.4 on page 415 for IPSec VPN background information.
- See Section 5.4 on page 76 for the IPSec VPN quick setup wizard.
- See Section 7.4 on page 116 for an example of configuring IPSec VPN.
23.1.3 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 11 on page 217.
- 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 37 on page 573.
- 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 39 on page 589.
23.2 The VPN Connection Screen
Click Configuration > VPN > IPSec VPN to open 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). Click a column's heading cell to sort the table entries by that column's criteria. Click the heading cell again to reverse the sort order.

| Encapsulation Mode | Select which type of encapsulation the IPSec SA uses. Choices are Tunnel - this mode encrypts the IP header information and the data Transport - this mode only encrypts the data. You should only select this if the IPSec SA is used for communication between the ZyWALL and remote IPSec router. If you select Transport mode, the ZyWALL automatically switches to Tunnel mode if the IPSec SA is not used for communication between the ZyWALL and remote IPSec router. In this case, the ZyWALL generates a log message for this change. The ZyWALL and remote IPSec router must use the same encapsulation. |
| Active Protocol | Select which protocol you want to use in the IPSec SA. Choices are: AH (RFC 2402) - provides integrity, authentication, sequence integrity (replay resistance), and non-repudiation but not encryption. If you select AH, you must select an Authentication Algorithm. ESP (RFC 2406) - provides encryption and the same services offered by AH, but its authentication is weaker. If you select ESP, you must select an Encryption Algorithm and Authentication Algorithm. The ZyWALL and remote IPSec router must use the same protocol. |
| Encryption Algorithm | This field is applicable when the Active Protocol is ESP. Select which key size and encryption algorithm to use in the IPSec SA. Choices are: NULL - no encryption key or algorithm DES - a 56-bit key with the DES encryption algorithm 3DES - a 168-bit key with the DES encryption algorithm AES128 - a 128-bit key with the AES encryption algorithm AES192 - a 192-bit key with the AES encryption algorithm AES256 - a 256-bit key with the AES encryption algorithm The ZyWALL and the remote IPSec router must use the same algorithm and key.

23.4 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 419. 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 245 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

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 416 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 246 IKE SA: Main Negotiation Mode, Steps 3 - 4: DH Key Exchange
Diffie-Hellman key exchange
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.

Figure 247 IKE SA: Main Negotiation Mode, Steps 5 - 6: Authentication (continued)
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 119 on page 418, the ZyWALL and the remote IPSec router authenticate each other successfully. In contrast, in Table 120 on page 418, the ZyWALL and the remote IPSec router cannot authenticate each other and, therefore, cannot establish an IKE SA.
Table 119 VPN Example: Matching ID Type and Content
| ZYWALL | REMOTE IPSEC ROUTER |
| Local ID type: E-mail | Local ID type: IP |
| Local ID content: tom@yourcompany.com | Local ID content: 1.1.1.2 |
| Peer ID type: IP | Peer ID type: E-mail |
| Peer ID content: 1.1.1.2 | Peer ID content: tom@yourcompany.com |
Table 120 VPN Example: Mismatching ID Type and Content
| ZYWALL | REMOTE IPSEC ROUTER |
| Local ID type: E-mail | Local ID type: IP |
| Local ID content: tom@yourcompany.com | Local ID content: 1.1.1.2 |
| Peer ID type: IP | Peer ID type: E-mail |
| Peer ID content: 1.1.1.20 | Peer ID content: tom@yourcompany.com |
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 248 VPN/NAT Example
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 421 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.
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 249 VPN: Transport and Tunnel Mode Encapsulation
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 415), 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.

Figure 250 VPN Example: NAT for Inbound and Outbound Traffic
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 250 on page 424, 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 250 on page 424, 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 250 on page 424, 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 250 on page 424, 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.
24.1 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.
24.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
- Use the VPN > SSL VPN > Access Privilege screens (see Section 24.2 on page 429) to configure SSL access policies.
- Use the Click VPN > SSL VPN > Global Setting screen (see Section 24.3 on page 433) 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.
24.1.2 What You Need to Know
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.

Figure 251 Network Access Mode: Full Tunnel Mode
SSL Access Policy
An SSL access policy allows the ZyWALL to perform the following tasks:
- apply Endpoint Security (EPS) checking to require users' computers to comply with defined corporate policies before they can access the SSL VPN tunnel.
- 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 121 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. |
| Endpoint Security | Endpoint Security | Endpoint Security (EPS) checking makes sure users' computers comply with defined corporate policies before they can access the SSL VPN tunnel. |
| Application | SSL Application | Configure an SSL application object to specify the type of application and the address of the local computer, server, or web site SSL users are to be able 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.

25.1 Overview
This chapter introduces the remote user SSL VPN screens. The following figure shows a network example where a remote user (A) logs into the ZyWALL from the Internet to access the web server (WWW) on the local network.

Figure 258 Network Example
25.1.1 What You Need to Know
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 intranet sites, web-based applications, or web-based e-mails using one of the supported web browsers.
- Using the ZyWALL SecuExtender client
Once you have successfully logged into the ZyWALL, the ZyWALL automatically loads the ZyWALL SecuExtender client program to your computer. With the ZyWALL SecuExtender, you can access network resources, remote desktops and manage files as if you were on the local network. See Chapter 27 on page 449 for more on the ZyWALL SecuExtender.

Bandwidth Management
28.1 Overview
Bandwidth management provides a convenient way to manage the use of various services on the network. It manages general protocols (for example, HTTP and FTP) and applies traffic prioritization to enhance the performance of delay-sensitive applications like voice and video.
28.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
Use the BWM screens (see Section 28.2 on page 461) to control bandwidth for services passing through the ZyWALL, and it identifies the conditions that refine this.
28.1.2 What You Need to Know
When you allow a service, you can restrict the bandwidth it uses. It 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 policy routes to manage the bandwidth of TCP and UDP traffic.
If you want to use a service, make sure both the firewall allow the service's packets to go through the ZyWALL.
Note: The ZyWALL checks firewall rules before it checks bandwidth management rules for traffic going through the ZyWALL.
Bandwidth management examines every TCP and UDP connection passing through the ZyWALL. Then, you can specify, by port, whether or not the ZyWALL continues to route the connection.
DiffServ and DSCP Marking
QoS is used to prioritize source-to-destination traffic flows. All packets in the same flow are given the same priority. CoS (class of service) is a way of managing traffic
in a network by grouping similar types of traffic together and treating each type as a class. You can use CoS to give different priorities to different packet types.
DiffServ (Differentiated Services) is a class of service (CoS) model that marks packets so that they receive specific per-hop treatment at DiffServ-compliant network devices along the route based on the application types and traffic flow. Packets are marked with DiffServ Code Points (DSCPs) indicating the level of service desired. This allows the intermediary DiffServ-compliant network devices to handle the packets differently depending on the code points without the need to negotiate paths or remember state information for every flow. In addition, applications do not have to request a particular service or give advanced notice of where the traffic is going.
Connection and Packet Directions
Bandwidth management 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 LAN1 to WAN connection is initiated from LAN1 and goes to the WAN.
- Outbound traffic goes from a LAN1 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 LAN1 zone device. Bandwidth management is applied before sending the traffic out a LAN1 zone interface.

Figure 278 LAN1 to WAN Connection and Packet Directions
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 LAN1 to WAN policy for example.
- Outbound traffic is limited to 200 kbps. The connection initiator is on the LAN1 so outbound means the traffic traveling from the LAN1 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 LAN1 so inbound means the traffic traveling from the WAN to the LAN1.

Figure 279 LAN1 to WAN, Outbound 200 kbps, Inbound 500 kbps
Bandwidth 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.

Figure 280 Bandwidth Management Behavior
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 127 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 it's configured rate (800 kbps), leaving only 200 kbps for server B.
Table 128 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 129 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 130 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 |

- See DSCP Marking and Per-Hop Behavior on page 299 for a description of DSCP marking.
28.1.3 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.
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 LAN1 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.
SIP: Any to WAN
Outbound: 200 Kbps
Inbound: 200 Kbps
Priority: 1
Max. B. U.
SIP: WAN to Any Outbound: 200 Kbps Inbound: 200 Kbps Priority: 1 Max. B. U.
HTTP: Any to WAN

Inbound: 500 Kbps
Priority: 2
Max. B. U.
FTP: WAN to DMZ

Inbound: 300 Kbps
Priority: 3
No Max. B. U.
Figure 281 Bandwidth Management Example

FTP: LAN1 to DMZ
Outbound: 50 Mbps
Inbound: 50 Mbps
Priority: 4
No Max. B. U.
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.
-
Enable maximize bandwidth usage so the SIP traffic can borrow unused bandwidth.

Figure 282 SIP Any to WAN Bandwidth Management Example
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.

Figure 283 HTTP Any to WAN Bandwidth Management Example
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.

Figure 284 FTP WAN to DMZ Bandwidth Management Example
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.

Figure 285 FTP LAN to DMZ Bandwidth Management Example
28.2 TheBandwidth Management Screen
The Bandwidth management screen controls the default policy for TCP and UDP traffic. 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. This screen also allows you to add, edit, and remove conditions to this default policy.

29.1 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.
29.1.1 ADP
1 ADP anomaly detection is in general effective against abnormal behavior.
2 ADP traffic and anomaly rules are updated when you upload new firmware.
29.1.2 What You Can Do in this Chapter
- Use Anti-X > ADP > General (Section 29.2 on page 469) to turn anomaly detection on or off and apply anomaly profiles to traffic directions.
- Use Anti-X > ADP > Profile (Section 29.3 on page 470) to add a new profile, edit an existing profile or delete an existing profile.
29.1.3 What You Need To Know
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 bg 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 134 on page 471 for details on ADP base profiles.
ADP Policy
An ADP policy refers to application of an ADP profile to a traffic flow.

| Name | This is the name of the profile you created. |
| Base Profile | This is the base profile from which the profile was created. |
29.3.3 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 134 on page 471) 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.
29.3.4 Traffic Anomaly Profiles
The traffic anomaly screen is the second screen in an ADP profile. Traffic anomaly detection looks for abnormal behavior such as scan or flooding attempts. In the Configuration > Anti-X > ADP > Profile screen, click the Edit icon or click the Add icon and choose a base profile. If you made changes to other screens

29.4 ADP 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 29.3.4 on page 472).
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
- TCP Filtered Decoy Portscan
-
TCP Filtered Portsweep
-
UDP Filtered 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).

Figure 293 Smurf Attack
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 294 TCP Three-Way Handshake
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.

Figure 295 SYN Flood
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 29.3.5 on page 475)
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 138 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-TRVERSAL 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-TRVERSAL 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-TRVERSAL 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
30.1 Overview
Use the content filtering feature to control access to specific web sites or web content.
30.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
- Use the General screens (Section 30.2 on page 489) to configure global content filtering settings, configure content filtering policies, and check the content filtering license status.
- Use the Filter Profile screens (Section 30.4 on page 494) to set up content filtering profiles.
30.1.2 What You Need to Know
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 ainment 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 6.5.18 on page 102 for related information on these screens.
- See Section 30.7 on page 511 for content filtering background/technical information.
30.1.3 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 subscribe to use the external database content filtering (see the Licensing > Registration screens).

30.7 Content Filter Technical Reference
This section provides content filtering background information.
External Content Filter Server Lookup Procedure
The content filter lookup process is described below.

Figure 302 Content Filter Lookup Procedure
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 9.15 on page 202). 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.

Anti-Spam
32.1 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.
32.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
- Use the General screens (Section 32.3 on page 523) to turn anti-spam on or off and manage anti-spam policies.
- Use the Black/White List screens (Section 32.4 on page 527) to set up a black list to identify spam and a white list to identify legitimate e-mail.
- Use the DNSBL screens (Section 32.6 on page 532) to have the ZyWALL check e-mail against DNS Black Lists.
32.1.2 What You Need to Know
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 522 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 increase 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 Black List (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.

32.4.2 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.
32.5 The Anti-Spam White List Screen
Click Configuration > Anti-X > Anti-Spam > Black/White List and then the White List tab to display the Anti-Spam White List screen.

32.7 Anti-Spam Technical Reference
Here is more detailed anti-spam information.
DNSBL
- The ZyWALL checks only public sender and relay IP addresses, it does not check private IP addresses.
- The ZyWALL sends a separate query (DNS lookup) for each sender or relay IP address in the e-mail's header to each of the ZyWALL's DNSBL domains at the same time.
- The DNSBL servers send replies as to whether or not each IP address matches an entry in their list. Each IP address has a separate reply.
- As long as the replies are indicating the IP addresses do not match entries on the DNSBL lists, the ZyWALL waits until it receives at least one reply for each IP address.
- If the ZyWALL receives a DNSBL reply that one of the IP addresses is in the DNSBL list, the ZyWALL immediately classifies the e-mail as spam and takes the anti-spam policy's configured action for spam. The ZyWALL does not wait for any more DNSBL replies.
- If the ZyWALL receives at least one non-spam reply for each of an e-mail's routing IP addresses, the ZyWALL immediately classifies the e-mail as legitimate and forwards it.
- Any further DNSBL replies that come after the ZyWALL classifies an e-mail as spam or legitimate have no effect.
- The ZyWALL records DNSBL responses for IP addresses in a cache for up to 72 hours. The ZyWALL checks an e-mail's sender and relay IP addresses against the cache first and only sends DNSBL queries for IP addresses that are not in the cache.
Here is an example of an e-mail classified as spam based on DNSBL replies.

Figure 316 DNSBL Spam Detection Example
1 The ZyWALL receives an e-mail that was sent from IP address a.a.a.a and relayed by an e-mail server at IP address b.b.b.b. The ZyWALL sends a separate query to each of its DNSBL domains for IP address a.a.a.a. The ZyWALL sends another separate query to each of its DNSBL domains for IP address b.b.b.b.
2 DNSBL A replies that IP address a.a.a.a does not match any entries in its list (not spam).
3 DNSBL C replies that IP address b.b.b.b matches an entry 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 was to drop the mail. The ZyWALL does not wait for any more DNSBL replies.
Here is an example of an e-mail classified as legitimate based on DNSBL replies.

Figure 317 DNSBL Legitimate E-mail Detection Example
1 The ZyWALL receives an e-mail that was sent from IP address c.c.c.c and relayed by an e-mail server at IP address d.d.d.d. The ZyWALL sends a separate query to each of its DNSBL domains for IP address c.c.c.c. The ZyWALL sends another separate query to each of its DNSBL domains for IP address d.d.d.d.
2 DNSBL B replies that IP address d.d.d.d does not match any entries in its list (not spam).
3 DNSBL C replies that IP address c.c.c.c does not match any entries in its list (not spam).
4 Now that the ZyWALL has received at least one non-spam reply for each of the e-mail's routing IP addresses, the ZyWALL immediately classifies the e-mail as legitimate and forwards it. The ZyWALL does not wait for any more DNSBL replies.
If the ZyWALL receives conflicting DNSBL replies for an e-mail routing IP address, the ZyWALL classifies the e-mail as spam. Here is an example.

Figure 318 Conflicting DNSBL Replies Example
1 The ZyWALL receives an e-mail that was sent from IP address a.b.c.d and relayed by an e-mail server at IP address w.x.y.z. The ZyWALL sends a separate query to each of its DNSBL domains for IP address a.b.c.d. The ZyWALL sends another separate query to each of its DNSBL domains for IP address w.x.y.z.
2 DNSBL A replies that IP address a.b.c.d does not match any entries in its list (not spam).
3 While waiting for a DNSBL reply about IP address w.x.y.z, the ZyWALL receives a reply from DNSBL B saying IP address a.b.c.d is 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 was to drop the mail. The ZyWALL does not wait for any more DNSBL replies.
33.1 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.
33.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
- The User screen (see Section 33.2 on page 542) provides a summary of all user accounts.
- The Group screen (see Section 33.3 on page 545) 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 33.4 on page 547) 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.
33.1.2 What You Need To Know
User Account
A user account defines the privileges of a user logged into the ZyWALL. User accounts are used in firewall rules, in addition to controlling access to configuration and services in the ZyWALL.
User Types
These are the types of user accounts the ZyWALL uses.
Table 151 Types of User Accounts
| TYPE | ABILITIES | LOGIN METHOD(S) |
| Admin Users | ||
| admin | Change ZyWALL configuration (web, CLI) | WWW, TELNET, SSH, FTP, Console |
| limited-admin | Look at ZyWALL configuration (web, CLI) | WWW, TELNET, SSH, Console |
| Perform basic diagnostics (CLI) | ||
| Access Users | ||
| user | Access network services | WWW, TELNET, SSH |
| Browse user-mode commands (CLI) | ||
| guest | Access network services | WWW |
| ext-user | External user account | WWW |
| ext-group-user | External group user account | WWW |
Note: The default admin account is always authenticated locally, regardless of the authentication method setting. (See Chapter 37 on page 573 for more information about authentication methods.)
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.
All 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 37 on page 573 and Chapter 38 on page 583, 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 151 on page 539) 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 553 for a list of attributes and how to set up the attributes in an external server.
Ext-Group-User Accounts
Ext-Group-User accounts work are similar to ext-user accounts but allow you to group users by the value of the group membership attribute configured for the AD or LDAP server. See Section 37.2.1 on page 577 for more on the group membership attribute.
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 createuser-aware policies' that define what services they can use. See Section 33.4.2 on page 552 for a user-aware login example.
Finding Out More
- See Section 6.6.1 on page 104 for related information on these screens.
- See Section 33.5 on page 553 for some information on users who use an external authentication server in order to log in.
- The ZyWALL supports TTLS using PAP so you can use the ZyWALL's local user database to authenticate users with WPA or WPA2 instead of needing an external RADIUS server. See Section 7.6 on page 124 for an example.
- See Section 7.5 on page 120 for an example of configuring user accounts and user groups as part of user-aware access control.
- See Section 7.6 on page 124 for an example of how to use a RADIUS server to authenticate user accounts based on groups.

| User Type | This read-only field identifies the type of user account for which you are configuring the default settings. • admin - this user can look at and change the configuration of the ZyWALL • limited-admin - this user can look at the configuration of the ZyWALL but not to change it • user - this user has access to the ZyWALL's services but cannot look at the configuration • ext-user - this user account is maintained in a remote server, such as RADIUS or LDAP. See Ext-User Accounts on page 540 for more information about this type. • ext-group-user - this user account is maintained in a remote server, such as RADIUS or LDAP. See Ext-Group-User Accounts on page 541 for more information about this type. |
| Lease Time | Enter the number of minutes this type of user account has to renew the current session before the user is logged out. You can specify 1 to 1440 minutes. You can enter 0 to make the number of minutes unlimited. Admin users renew the session every time the main screen refreshes in the Web Configurator. Access users can renew the session by clicking the Renew button on their screen. If you allow access users to renew time automatically (see Section 33.4 on page 547), the users can select this check box on their screen as well. In this case, the session is automatically renewed before the lease time expires. |
| Reauthentication Time | Type the number of minutes this type of user account can be logged into the ZyWALL in one session before the user has to log in again. You can specify 1 to 1440 minutes. You can enter 0 to make the number of minutes unlimited. Unlike Lease Time, the user has no opportunity to renew the session without logging out. |

The ZyWALL sets this amount of time according to the ·User-defined lease time field in this screen ·Lease time field in the User Add/Edit screen (see Section 33.2.1 on page 542) ·Lease time field in the Setting screen (see Section 33.4 on page 547) |
| Updating lease time automatically | This box appears if you checked the Allow renewing lease time automatically box in the Setting screen. (See Section 33.4 on page 547.) Access users can select this check box to reset the lease time automatically 30 seconds before it expires. Otherwise, access users have to click the Renew button to reset the lease time. |
| Remaining time before lease timeout | This field displays the amount of lease time that remains, though the user might be able to reset it. |
| Remaining time before auth. timeout | This field displays the amount of time that remains before the ZyWALL automatically logs the access user out, regardless of the lease time. |
33.5 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 159 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 326 LDAP Example: Keywords for User Attributes
type:admin leaseTime:99 reauthTime:199
Figure 327 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 45 on page 693 for more information about shell scripts.
34.1 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.
34.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
- The Address screen (Section 34.2 on page 555) 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 34.3 on page 558) and the Address Group Add/Edit screen, to maintain address groups in the ZyWALL.
34.1.2 What You Need To Know
Address objects and address groups are used in dynamic routes, firewall rules, 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 6.6 on page 103 for related information on these screens.
- See Section 7.12 on page 145 for how to create a public IP address range object for using multiple static public WAN IP addresses for LAN to WAN traffic.
34.2 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.
-

Services
35.1 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.
35.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
- Use the Service screens (Section 35.2 on page 562) to view and configure the ZyWALL's list of services and their definitions.
- Use the Service Group screens (Section 35.2 on page 562) to view and configure the ZyWALL's list of service groups.
35.1.2 What You Need to Know
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 retransmitted. 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.
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
36.1 Overview
Use schedules to set up one-time and recurring schedules for policy routes, firewall rules, 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.
36.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
- Use the Schedule summary screen (Section 36.2 on page 568) to see a list of all schedules in the ZyWALL.
- Use the One-Time Schedule Add/Edit screen (Section 36.2.1 on page 569) to create or edit a one-time schedule.
- Use the Recurring Schedule Add/Edit screen (Section 36.2.2 on page 570) to create or edit a recurring schedule.
36.1.2 What You Need to Know
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
37.1 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 AAA servers. You use AAA server objects in configuring ext-group-user user objects and authentication method objects (see Chapter 38 on page 583).
37.1.1 Directory Service (AD/LDAP)
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 339 Example: Directory Service Client and Server
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.
37.1.2 RADIUS Server
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.

Figure 340 RADIUS Server Network Example
37.1.3 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 Configuration > Object > AAA Server screens.
6 Give the OTP tokens to (local or remote) users.
37.1.4 What You Can Do in this Chapter
-
Use the Configuration > Object > AAA Server > Active Directory (or LDAP) screens (Section 37.2 on page 577) to configure Active Directory or LDAP server objects.
-
Use the Configuration > Object > AAA Server > RADIUS screen (Section 37.3 on page 579) to configure the default external RADIUS server to use for user authentication.

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.
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.

Figure 341 Basic Directory Structure
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.

Authentication Method
38.1 Overview
Authentication method objects set how the ZyWALL authenticates wireless, HTTP/ HTTPS clients, and peer IPSec routers (extended authentication) 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.
38.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
- Use the Configuration > Object > Auth. Method screens (Section 38.2 on page 584) to create and manage authentication method objects.
Finding Out More
See Section 7.5.3 on page 122 for an example of how to set up user authentication using a radius server.

Certificates
39.1 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.
39.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
- Use the My Certificate screens (see Section 39.2 on page 593 to Section 39.2.3 on page 602) 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 39.3 on page 603 to Section 39.3.2 on page 608) to save CA certificates and trusted remote host certificates to the ZyWALL. The ZyWALL trusts any valid certificate that you have imported as a trusted certificate. It also trusts any valid certificate signed by any of the certificates that you have imported as a trusted certificate.
39.1.2 What You Need to Know
When using public-key cryptography 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 cryptography 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 39.4 on page 609 for certificate background information.
39.1.3 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 ".cert" or ".crt" file name extension.

Figure 349 Remote Host Certificates
3 Double-click the certificate's icon to open the Certificate window. Click the Details tab and scroll down to the Thumbprint Algorithm and Thumbprint fields.

Figure 350 Certificate Details
4 Use a secure method to verify that the certificate owner has the same information in the Thumbprint Algorithm and Thumbprint fields. The secure method may very based on your situation. Possible examples would be over the telephone or through an HTTPS connection.

39.4 Certificates Technical Reference
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.

SSL Application
41.1 Overview
You use SSL application objects in SSL VPN. Configure an SSL application object to specify the type of application and the address of the local computer, server, or web site SSL users are to be able to access. You can apply one or more SSL application objects in the VPN > SSL VPN screen for a user account/user group.
41.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
- Use the SSL Application screen (Section 41.2 on page 617) to view the ZyWALL's configured SSL application objects.
- Use the SSL Application Edit screen to create or edit web-based application objects to allow remote users to access an application via standard web browsers (Section 41.2.1 on page 618).
- You can also use the SSL Application Edit screen to specify the name of a folder on a Linux or Windows file server which remote users can access using a standard web browser (Section 41.2.1 on page 618).
41.1.2 What You Need to Know
Application Types
You can configure the following SSL application on the ZyWALL.
Web-based
A web-based application allows remote users to access an intranet site using standard web browsers.
Remote User Screen Links
Available SSL application names are displayed as links in remote user screens. Depending on the application type, remote users can simply click the links or follow the steps in the pop-up dialog box to access.
Remote Desktop Connections
Use SSL VPN to allow remote users to manage LAN computers. Depending on the functions supported by the remote desktop software, they can install or remove software, run programs, change settings, and open, copy, create, and delete files. This is useful for troubleshooting, support, administration, and remote access to files and programs.
The LAN computer to be managed must have VNC (Virtual Network Computing) or RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) server software installed. The remote user's computer does not use VNC or RDP client software. The ZyWALL works with the following remote desktop connection software:
RDP
- Windows Remote Desktop (supported in Internet Explorer)
VNC
RealVNC
- TightVNC
- UltraVNC
For example, user A uses an SSL VPN connection to log into the ZyWALL. Then he manages LAN computer B which has RealVNC server software installed.

Endpoint Security
42.1 Overview
Use Endpoint Security (EPS), also known as endpoint control, to make sure users' computers comply with defined corporate policies before they can access the network or an SSL VPN tunnel. After a successful user authentication, a user's computer must meet the endpoint security object's Operating System (OS) option and security requirements to gain access. You can configure the endpoint security object to require a user's computer to match just one of the endpoint security object's checking criteria or all of them. Configure endpoint security objects to use with the authentication policy and SSL VPN features.
For example, an authentication policy could use an endpoint security object that requires a LAN user's computer to pass all of the object's checking items in order to access the network. LAN user A passes all of the checks and is given access. An SSL VPN tunnel could use a different endpoint security profile that only requires the user's computer to match at least one checked item. SSL VPN user B matches at least one of the items checked by the SSL VPN's endpoint security object and is granted access to the system resource defined in the SSL VPN access policy; in this example a web server. SSL VPN user C fails all of the SSL VPN's endpoint security check and is not given any access.

The settings endpoint security can check vary depending on the OS of the user's computer. Depending on the OS, EPS can check user computers for the following:
- Windows Auto Update setting
- Installed security patches
- Personal firewall installation and activation
- Anti-virus installation and activation
- Windows registry settings
- Processes that the endpoint must execute
- Processes that the endpoint cannot execute
- The size and version of specific files
Multiple Endpoint Security Objects
You can configure an authentication policy or SSL VPN policy to use multiple endpoint security objects. This allows checking of computers with different OSs or security settings. When a client attempts to log in, the ZyWALL checks the client's computer against the endpoint security objects one-by-one. The client's computer must match one of the force authentication or SSL VPN policy's endpoint security objects in order to gain access.
Requirements
User computers must have Sun's Java (Java Runtime Environment or 'JRE') installed and enabled with a minimum version of 1.4.
Finding Out More
See Section 7.7 on page 126 for an example of how to use endpoint security and authentication policies.

43.4.1 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 193 Default Time Servers
| 0.pool.ntp.org |
| 1.pool.ntp.org |
| 2POOL.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.
43.4.2 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.
When the Please Wait... screen appears, you may have to wait up to one minute.

43.6 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.
43.6.1 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.
43.6.2 Configuring the DNS Screen
Click Configuration > 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.

| # | 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. |
| Action | This displays whether the ZyWALL accepts DNS queries from the computer with the IP address specified above through the specified zone (Accept) or discards them (Deny). |
43.6.3 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.
43.6.4 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.
43.6.5 Adding an Address/PTR Record
Click the Add icon in the Address/PTR Record table to add an address/PTR record.

Figure 373 Configuration > System > DNS > Address/PTR Record Edit

43.7 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 and Telnet access are not secure.
- See Section 6.7.1 on page 105 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 375 for more on To-ZyWALL firewall rules.
- See Section 7.8 on page 129 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.
43.7.1 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.
43.7.2 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.
43.7.3 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 39 on page 589 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
Authentication Client Certificates in the WWW screen). Authentication 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.
Figure 377 HTTP/HTTPS Implementation

Note: If you disable HTTP in the WWW screen, then the ZyWALL blocks all HTTP connection attempts.
43.7.4 Configuring WWW Service Control
Click Configuration > 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).

43.7.7.3 Avoiding Browser Warning Messages
Here are the main reasons 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 819 for details.
43.7.7.4 Login Screen
After you accept the certificate, the ZyWALL login screen appears. The lock displayed in the bottom of the browser status bar denotes a secure connection.

43.8 SSH
You can use SSH (Secure SSH) 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.

Figure 398 SSH Communication Over the WAN Example
43.8.1 How SSH Works
The following figure is an example of how a secure connection is established between two remote hosts using SSH v1.

Figure 399 How SSH v1 Works Example
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.
43.8.2 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).
43.8.3 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.
43.8.4 Configuring SSH
Click Configuration > 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.

43.11 SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol is a protocol used for exchanging management information between network devices. Your ZyWALL supports SNMP agent functionality, which allows a manager station to manage and monitor the ZyWALL through the network. The ZyWALL supports SNMP version one (SNMPv1)
and version two (SNMPv2c). The next figure illustrates an SNMP management operation.

Figure 406 SNMP Management Model
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.
43.11.1 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.
43.11.2 SNMP Traps
The ZyWALL will send traps to the SNMP manager when any one of the following events occurs.
Table 206 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. |

44.3 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.

45.1 Overview
Configuration files define the ZyWALL's settings. Shell scripts are files of commands that you can store on the ZyWALL and run when you need them. 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.
45.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
- Use the Configuration File screen (see Section 45.2 on page 696) 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 45.3 on page 700) to check your current firmware version and upload firmware to the ZyWALL.
- Use the Shell Script screen (see Section 45.4 on page 702) to store, name, download, upload and run shell script files.
45.1.2 What you Need to Know
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 215 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 415 on page 694 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.

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.
45.2 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.

| Continuously capture and overwrite old ones | Select this to have the ZyWALL keep capturing traffic and overwriting old packet capture entries when the available storage space runs out. |
| Save data to onboard storage only | Select this to have the ZyWALL only store packet capture entries on the ZyWALL. |
| Save data to USB storage | Select this to have the ZyWALL store packet capture entries only on a USB storage device connected to the ZyWALL.Status:Unused - the connected USB storage device was manually unmounted by using the Remove Now button or for some reason the ZyWALL cannot mount it.none - no USB storage device is connected availaill - you can have the ZyWALL use the USB storage device.The available storage capacity also displays.Note: The ZyWALL reserves some USG storage space as a buffer. |
| Captured Packet Files | When saving packet captures only to the ZyWALL's onboard storage, specify a maximum limit in megabytes for the total combined size of all the capture files on the ZyWALL.When saving packet captures to a connected USB storage device, specify a maximum limit in megabytes for each capture file.Note: If you have existing capture files and have not selected the Continuously capture and overwrite old ones option, you may need to set this size larger or delete existing capture files.The valid range is 1 to 10000. The ZyWALL stops the capture and generates the capture file when either the file reaches this size or the time period specified in the Duration field expires. |
| Split threshold | Specify a maximum size limit in megabytes for individual packet capture files. After a packet capture file reaches this size, the ZyWALL starts another packet capture file. |
| Duration | Set a time limit in seconds for the capture. The ZyWALL stops the capture and generates the capture file when either this period of time has passed or the file reaches the size specified in the File Size field. 0 means there is no time limit. |
| File Suffix | Specify text to add to the end of the file name (before the dot and filename extension) to help you identify the packet capture files.Modifying the file suffix also avoids making new capture files that overwrite existing files of the same name.The file name format is "interface name-file suffix.cap", for example "vlan2-packet-capture.cap". |
| Number Of Bytes To Capture (Per Packet) | Specify the maximum number of bytes to capture per packet. The ZyWALL automatically truncates packets that exceed this size. As a result, when you view the packet capture files in a packet analyzer, the actual size of the packets may be larger than the size of captured packets. |
| Capture | Click this button to have the ZyWALL capture packets according to the settings configured in this screen.You can configure the ZyWALL while a packet capture is in progress although you cannot modify the packet capture settings.The ZyWALL's throughput or performance may be affected while a packet capture is in progress.After the ZyWALL finishes the capture it saves a separate capture file for each selected interface. The total number of packet capture files that you can save depends on the file sizes and the available flash storage space. Once the flash storage space is full, adding more packet captures will fail. |

Packet Flow Explore
47.1 Overview
Use this to get a clear picture on how the ZyWALL determines where to forward a packet and how to change the source IP address of the packet according to your current settings. This function provides you a summary of all your routing and SNAT settings and helps troubleshoot any related problems.
47.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
- Use the Routing Status screen (see Section 47.2 on page 715) to view the overall routing flow and each routing function's settings.
- Use the SNAT Status screen (see Section 47.3 on page 719) to view the overall source IP address conversion (SNAT) flow and each SNAT function's settings.
47.2 The Routing Status Screen
The Routing Status screen allows you to view the current routing flow and quickly link to specific routing settings. Click a function box in the Routing Flow section, the related routes (activated) will display in the Routing Table section. To access this screen, click Maintenance > Packet Flow Explore.
The order of the routing flow may vary depending on whether you:
- select use policy route to override direct route in the CONFIGURATION > Network > Routing > Policy Route screen.
- use policy routes to control 1-1 NAT by using the policy control-virtual-server-rules activate command.
- select use policy routes to control dynamic IPSec rules in the CONFIGURATION > VPN > IPSec VPN > VPN Connection screen.
Note: Once a packet matches the criteria of a routing rule, the ZyWALL takes the corresponding action and does not perform any further flow checking.

47.3 The SNAT Status Screen
The SNAT Status screen allows you to view and quickly link to specific source NAT (SNAT) settings. Click a function box in the SNAT Flow section, the related SNAT rules (activated) will display in the SNAT Table section. To access this screen, click Maintenance > Packet Flow Explore > SNAT Status.
The order of the SNAT flow may vary depending on whether you:
-
select use default SNAT in the CONFIGURATION > Network > Interface > Trunk screen.
-
use policy routes to control 1-1 NAT by using the policy control-virtual-server-rules activate command.
Note: Once a packet matches the criteria of an SNAT rule, the ZyWALL takes the corresponding action and does not perform any further flow checking.

48.1 Overview
Use this to restart the device (for example, if the device begins behaving erratically). See also Section 1.5 on page 34 for information on different ways to start and stop the ZyWALL.
48.1.1 What You Need To Know
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 50.1 on page 738) reset returns the device to its default configuration.
48.2 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.

Figure 447 Maintenance >Reboot
Click the Reboot button to restart the ZyWALL. Wait a few minutes until the login screen appears. If the login screen does not appear, type the IP address of the device in your Web browser.
You can also use the CLI command reboot to restart the ZyWALL.
49.1 Overview
Use this to shutdown the device in preparation for disconnecting the power. See also Section 1.5 on page 34 for information on different ways to start and stop the ZyWALL.
Always use the Maintenance > Shutdown > Shutdown screen or the "shutdown" command before you turn off the ZyWALL or remove the power. Not doing so can cause the firmware to become corrupt.
49.1.1 What You Need To Know
Shutdown writes all cached data to the local storage and stops the system processes.
49.2 The Shutdown Screen
To access this screen, click Maintenance > Shutdown.

Figure 448 Maintenance > Shutdown
Click the Shutdown button to shut down the ZyWALL. Wait for the device to shut down before you manually turn off or remove the power. It does not turn off the power.
You can also use the CLI command shutdown to shutdown the ZyWALL.
Troubleshooting
This chapter offers some suggestions to solve problems you might encounter.
- You can also refer to the logs (see Chapter 9 on page 207). For individual log descriptions, see the User's Guide appendix Appendix A on page 747.
For the order in which the ZyWALL applies its features and checks, see Section 6.4 on page 91. None of the LEDs turn on.
Make sure that you have the power cord connected to the ZyWALL and plugged in to an appropriate power source. Make sure you have the ZyWALL turned on. Check all cable connections.
If the LEDs still do not turn on, you may have a hardware problem. In this case, you should contact your local vendor.
Cannot access the ZyWALL from the LAN.
- Check the cable connection between the ZyWALL and your computer or switch.
- Ping the ZyWALL from a LAN computer. Make sure your computer's Ethernet card is installed and functioning properly. Also make sure that its IP address is in the same subnet as the ZyWALL's.
- In the computer, click Start, (All) Programs, Accessories and then Command Prompt. In the Command Prompt window, type "ping" followed by the ZyWALL's LAN IP address (192.168.1.1 is the default) and then press [ENTER]. The ZyWALL should reply.
-
If you've forgotten the ZyWALL's password, use the RESET button. Press the button in for about 5 seconds (or until the PWR LED starts to blink), then release it. It returns the ZyWALL to the factory defaults (password is 1234, LAN IP address 192.168.1.1 etc.; see your User's Guide for details).
-
If you've forgotten the ZyWALL's IP address, you can use the commands through the console port to check it. Connect your computer to the CONSOLE port using a console cable. Your computer should have a terminal emulation communications program (such as HyperTerminal) set to VT100 terminal emulation, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no flow control and 115200 bps port speed.
I cannot access the Internet.
- Check the ZyWALL's connection to the Ethernet jack with Internet access. Make sure the Internet gateway device (such as a DSL modem) is working properly.
- Check the WAN interface'sstatus in the Dashboard. Use the installation setup wizard again and make sure that you enter the correct settings. Use the same case as provided by your ISP.
The content filter category service is not working.
- Make sure your ZyWALL has the content filter category service registered and that the license is not expired. Purchase a new license if the license is expired.
- Make sure your ZyWALL is connected to the Internet.
I configured security settings but the ZyWALL is not applying them for certain interfaces.
Many security settings are usually applied to zones. Make sure you assign the interfaces to the appropriate zones. When you create an interface, there is no security applied on it until you assign it to a zone.
The ZyWALL is not applying the custom policy route I configured.
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 the traffic would also match.
The ZyWALL is not applying the custom firewall rule I configured.
The ZyWALL checks the firewall rules in the order that they are listed. So make sure that your custom firewall rule comes before any other rules that the traffic would also match.
I cannot enter the interface name I want.
- The format of interface names other than the Ethernet interface names is very 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, VLAN interfaces are vlan0, vlan1, vlan2, ...; and so on.
I cannot set up a PPP interface, virtual Ethernet interface or virtual VLAN interface on an Ethernet interface.
You cannot set up a PPP 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 PPP interface on top of it.
My rules and settings that apply to a particular interface no longer work.
The interface's IP address may have changed. To avoid this create an IP address object based on the interface. This way the ZyWALL automatically updates every rule or setting that uses the object whenever the interface's IP address settings change. For example, if you change LAN1's IP address, the ZyWALL automatically updates the corresponding interface-based, LAN1 subnet address object.
I cannot set up a PPP interface.
You have to set up an ISP account before you create a PPPoE or PPTP interface.
The data rates through my cellular connection are no-where near the rates I expected.
The actual cellular data rate you obtain varies depending on the cellular device you use, the signal strength to the service provider's base station, and so on.
I created a cellular interface but cannot connect through it.
- Make sure you have a compatible 3G device installed or connected. See Chapter 51 on page 741 for details.
- Make sure you have the cellular interface enabled.
- Make sure the cellular interface has the correct user name, password, and PIN code configured with the correct casing.
- If the ZyWALL has multiple WAN interfaces, make sure their IP addresses are on different subnets.
Hackers have accessed my WEP-encrypted wireless LAN.
WEP is extremely insecure. Its encryption can be broken by an attacker, using widely-available software. It is strongly recommended that you use a more effective security mechanism. Use the strongest security mechanism that all the wireless devices in your network support. WPA2 or WPA2-PSK is recommended.
The wireless security is not following the re-authentication timer setting I specified.
If a RADIUS server authenticates wireless stations, the re-authentication timer on the RADIUS server has priority. Change the RADIUS server's configuration if you need to use a different re-authentication timer setting.
I cannot configure a particular VLAN interface on top of an Ethernet interface even though I have it configured it on top of another Ethernet interface.
Each VLAN interface is created on top of only one Ethernet interface.
The ZyWALL is not applying an interface's configured ingress bandwidth limit.
At the time of writing, the ZyWALL does not support ingress bandwidth management.
I uploaded a custom signature file and now all of my earlier custom signatures are gone.
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.
The ZyWALL's performance seems slower after configuring ADP.
Depending on your network topology and traffic load, applying an anomaly profile to each and every packet direction may affect the ZyWALL's performance.
The ZyWALL routes and applies SNAT for traffic from some interfaces but not from others.
The ZyWALL automatically uses SNAT for traffic it routes from internal interfaces to external interfaces. For example LAN to WAN traffic. You must manually configure a policy route to add routing and SNAT settings for an interface with the Interface Type set to General. You can also configure a policy route to override the default routing and SNAT behavior for an interface with the Interface Type set to Internal or External.
The ZyWALL is not applying a policy route's port triggering settings.
You also need to create a firewall rule to allow an incoming service.
I cannot get Dynamic DNS to work.
-
You must have a public WAN IP address to use Dynamic DNS.
-
Make sure you recorded your DDNS account's user name, password, and domain name and have entered them properly in the ZyWALL.
- You may need to configure the DDNS entry's IP Address setting to Auto if the interface has a dynamic IP address or there are one or more NAT routers between the ZyWALL and the DDNS server.
- The ZyWALL may not determine the proper IP address if there is an HTTP proxy server between the ZyWALL and the DDNS server.
I cannot create a second HTTP redirect rule for an incoming interface.
You can configure up to one HTTP redirect rule for each (incoming) interface.
Make sure you have the FTP ALG enabled.
The ZyWALL keeps resetting the connection.
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 set the ZyWALL's firewall to permit the use of asymmetrical route topology on the network (so it does not reset the connection) although this is not recommended since 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. See Asymmetrical Routes on page 381 and the chapter about interfaces for more information.
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 23 on page 391.
-
The system log can often help to identify a configuration problem.
-
If you enable NAT traversal, the remote IPSec device must also have NAT traversal enabled.
-
The ZyWALL and remote IPSec router must use the same authentication method to establish the IKE SA.
-
Both routers must use the same negotiation mode.
-
Both routers must use the same encryption algorithm, authentication algorithm, and DH key group.
-
When using manual keys, the ZyWALL and remote IPSec router must use the same encryption key and authentication key.
-
When using pre-shared keys, the ZyWALL and the remote IPSec router must use the same pre-shared key.
-
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.
-
The ZyWALL and remote IPSec router must use the same active protocol.
-
The ZyWALL and remote IPSec router must use the same encapsulation.
-
The ZyWALL and remote IPSec router must use the same SPI.
-
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 13 on page 297.
-
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, You must set up the certificates for the ZyWALL and remote IPSec router first and 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.
- Multiple SAs connecting through a secure gateway must have the same negotiation mode.
The VPN connection is up but VPN traffic cannot be transmitted through the VPN tunnel.
If you have the Configuration > VPN > IPSec VPN > VPN Connection screen's Use Policy Route to control dynamic IPSec rules option enabled, check the routing policies to see if they are sending traffic elsewhere instead of through the VPN tunnels.
I uploaded a logo to show in the SSL VPN user screens but it does not display properly.
The logo graphic must be GIF, JPG, or PNG format. The graphic should use a resolution of 127 × 57 pixels to avoid distortion when displayed. The ZyWALL automatically resize a graphic of a different resolution to 127 × 57 pixels. The file size must be 100 kilobytes or less. Transparent background is recommended.
I logged into the SSL VPN but cannot see some of the resource links.
Available resource links vary depending on the SSL application object's configuration.
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.
I cannot get the RADIUS server to authenticate the ZyWALL's default admin account.
The default admin account is always authenticated locally, regardless of the authentication method setting. (See Chapter 37 on page 573 for more information about authentication methods.)
The ZyWALL fails to authentication the ext-user user accounts I configured.
An external server such as AD, LDAP or RADIUS must authenticate the ext-user accounts. If the ZyWALL tries to use the local database to authenticate an ext-user, the authentication attempt will always fail. (This is related to AAA servers and authentication methods, which are discussed in Chapter 37 on page 573 and Chapter 38 on page 583, respectively.)
I cannot add the admin users to a user group with access users.
You cannot put access users and admin users in the same user group.
I cannot add the default admin account to a user group.
You cannot put the default admin account into any user group.
The schedule I configured is not being applied at the configured times.
Make sure the ZyWALL's current date and time are correct.
I cannot get a certificate to import into the ZyWALL.
1 For My Certificates, you can import a certificate that matches a corresponding certification request that was generated by the ZyWALL. You can also import a certificate in PKCS#12 format, including the certificate's public and private keys.
2 You must remove any spaces from the certificate's filename before you can import the certificate.
3 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.
I cannot access the ZyWALL from a computer connected to the Internet.
Check the service control rules and to-ZyWALL firewall rules.
I uploaded a logo to display on the upper left corner of the Web Configurator login screen and access page but it does not display properly.
Make sure the logo file is a GIF, JPG, or PNG of 100 kilobytes or less.
I uploaded a logo to use as the screen or window background but it does not display properly.
Make sure the logo file is a GIF, JPG, or PNG of 100 kilobytes or less.
The ZyWALL's traffic throughput rate decreased after I started collecting traffic statistics.
Data collection may decrease the ZyWALL's traffic throughput rate.
I can only see newer logs. Older logs are missing.
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.
The commands in my configuration file or shell script are not working properly.
-
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.
-
Include write commands in your scripts. Otherwise the changes will be lost when the ZyWALL restarts. You could use multiple write commands in a long script.
Note: "exit" or "!" must follow sub commands if it is to make the ZyWALL exit sub command mode.
See Chapter 45 on page 693 for more on configuration files and shell scripts.
I cannot get the firmware uploaded using the commands.
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.
My packet capture captured less than I wanted or failed.
The packet capture screen's File Size sets a maximum size limit for the total combined size of all the capture files on the ZyWALL, including any existing capture files and any new capture files you generate. If you have existing capture files you may need to set this size larger or delete existing capture files.
The ZyWALL stops the capture and generates the capture file when either the capture files reach the File Size or the time period specified in the Duration field expires.
My earlier packet capture files are missing.
New capture files overwrite existing files of the same name. Change the File Suffix field's setting to avoid this.
50.1 Resetting the ZyWALL
If you cannot access the ZyWALL by any method, try restarting it by turning the power off and then on again. 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 48 on page 723.
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.

Wireless LANs
Wireless LAN Topologies
This section discusses ad-hoc and infrastructure wireless LAN topologies.
Ad-hoc Wireless LAN Configuration
The simplest WLAN configuration is an independent (Ad-hoc) WLAN that connects a set of computers with wireless adapters (A, B, C). Any time two or more wireless adapters are within range of each other, they can set up an independent network, which is commonly referred to as an ad-hoc network or Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS). The following diagram shows an example of notebook computers using wireless adapters to form an ad-hoc wireless LAN.

Figure 449 Peer-to-Peer Communication in an Ad-hoc Network
BSS
A Basic Service Set (BSS) exists when all communications between wireless clients or between a wireless client and a wired network client go through one access point (AP).
Intra-BSS traffic is traffic between wireless clients in the BSS. When Intra-BSS is enabled, wireless client A and B can access the wired network and communicate
with each other. When Intra-BSS is disabled, wireless client A and B can still access the wired network but cannot communicate with each other.

Figure 450 Basic Service Set
ESS
An Extended Service Set (ESS) consists of a series of overlapping BSSs, each containing an access point, with each access point connected together by a wired network. This wired connection between APs is called a Distribution System (DS).
This type of wireless LAN topology is called an Infrastructure WLAN. The Access Points not only provide communication with the wired network but also mediate wireless network traffic in the immediate neighborhood.
An ESSID (ESS IDentification) uniquely identifies each ESS. All access points and their associated wireless clients within the same ESS must have the same ESSID in order to communicate.

Figure 451 Infrastructure WLAN
Channel
A channel is the radio frequency(ies) used by wireless devices to transmit and receive data. Channels available depend on your geographical area. You may have a choice of channels (for your region) so you should use a channel different from an adjacent AP (access point) to reduce interference. Interference occurs when radio signals from different access points overlap causing interference and degrading performance.
Adjacent channels partially overlap however. To avoid interference due to overlap, your AP should be on a channel at least five channels away from a channel that an adjacent AP is using. For example, if your region has 11 channels and an adjacent AP is using channel 1, then you need to select a channel between 6 or 11.
RTS/CTS
A hidden node occurs when two stations are within range of the same access point, but are not within range of each other. The following figure illustrates a hidden node. Both stations (STA) are within range of the access point (AP) or
wireless gateway, but out-of-range of each other, so they cannot "hear" each other, that is they do not know if the channel is currently being used. Therefore, they are considered hidden from each other.

Figure 452 RTS/CTS
When station A sends data to the AP, it might not know that the station B is already using the channel. If these two stations send data at the same time, collisions may occur when both sets of data arrive at the AP at the same time, resulting in a loss of messages for both stations.
RTS/CTS is designed to prevent collisions due to hidden nodes. An RTS/CTS defines the biggest size data frame you can send before an RTS (Request To Send)/CTS (Clear to Send) handshake is invoked.
When a data frame exceeds the RTS/CTS value you set (between 0 to 2432 bytes), the station that wants to transmit this frame must first send an RTS (Request To Send) message to the AP for permission to send it. The AP then responds with a CTS (Clear to Send) message to all other stations within its range to notify them to defer their transmission. It also reserves and confirms with the requesting station the time frame for the requested transmission.
Stations can send frames smaller than the specified RTS/CTS directly to the AP without the RTS (Request To Send)/CTS (Clear to Send) handshake.
You should only configure RTS/CTS if the possibility of hidden nodes exists on your network and the "cost" of resending large frames is more than the extra network overhead involved in the RTS (Request To Send)/CTS (Clear to Send) handshake.
If the RTS/CTS value is greater than the Fragmentation Threshold value (see next), then the RTS (Request To Send)/CTS (Clear to Send) handshake will never occur as data frames will be fragmented before they reach RTS/CTS size.
Note: Enabling the RTS Threshold causes redundant network overhead that could negatively affect the throughput performance instead of providing a remedy.
Fragmentation Threshold
A Fragmentation Threshold is the maximum data fragment size (between 256 and 2432 bytes) that can be sent in the wireless network before the AP will fragment the packet into smaller data frames.
A large Fragmentation Threshold is recommended for networks not prone to interference while you should set a smaller threshold for busy networks or networks that are prone to interference.
If the Fragmentation Threshold value is smaller than the RTS/CTS value (see previously) you set then the RTS (Request To Send)/CTS (Clear to Send) handshake will never occur as data frames will be fragmented before they reach RTS/CTS size.
Preamble Type
Preamble is used to signal that data is coming to the receiver. Short and long refer to the length of the synchronization field in a packet.
Short preamble increases performance as less time sending preamble means more time for sending data. All IEEE 802.11 compliant wireless adapters support long preamble, but not all support short preamble.
Use long preamble if you are unsure what preamble mode other wireless devices on the network support, and to provide more reliable communications in busy wireless networks.
Use short preamble if you are sure all wireless devices on the network support it, and to provide more efficient communications.
Use the dynamic setting to automatically use short preamble when all wireless devices on the network support it, otherwise the ZyWALL uses long preamble.
Note: The wireless devices MUST use the same preamble mode in order to communicate.
IEEE 802.11g Wireless LAN
IEEE 802.11g is fully compatible with the IEEE 802.11b standard. This means an IEEE 802.11b adapter can interface directly with an IEEE 802.11g access point
(and vice versa) at 11 Mbps or lower depending on range. IEEE 802.11g has several intermediate rate steps between the maximum and minimum data rates. The IEEE 802.11g data rate and modulation are as follows:
Table 270 IEEE 802.11g
| DATA RATE (MBPS) | MODULATION |
| 1 | DBPSK (Differential Binary Phase Shift Keyed) |
| 2 | DQPSK (Differential Quadrature Phase Shift Keying) |
| 5.5 / 11 | CCK (Complementary Code Keying) |
| 6/9/12/18/24/36/48/54 | OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) |
Wireless Security Overview
Wireless security is vital to your network to protect wireless communication between wireless clients, access points and the wired network.
Wireless security methods available on the ZyWALL are data encryption, wireless client authentication, restricting access by device MAC address and hiding the ZyWALL identity.
The following figure shows the relative effectiveness of these wireless security methods available on your ZyWALL.

IEEE 802.1x
In June 2001, the IEEE 802.1x standard was designed to extend the features of IEEE 802.11 to support extended authentication as well as providing additional
accounting and control features. It is supported by Windows XP and a number of network devices. Some advantages of IEEE 802.1x are:
- User based identification that allows for roaming.
- Support for RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service, RFC 2138, 2139) for centralized user profile and accounting management on a network RADIUS server.
- Support for EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol, RFC 2486) that allows additional authentication methods to be deployed with no changes to the access point or the wireless clients.
RADIUS
RADIUS is based on a client-server model that supports authentication, authorization and accounting. The access point is the client and the server is the RADIUS server. The RADIUS server handles the following tasks:
Authentication
Determines the identity of the users.
- Authorization
Determines the network services available to authenticated users once they are connected to the network.
- Accounting
Kees track of the client's network activity.
RADIUS is a simple package exchange in which your AP acts as a message relay between the wireless client and the network RADIUS server.
Types of RADIUS Messages
The following types of RADIUS messages are exchanged between the access point and the RADIUS server for user authentication:
- Access-Request
Sent by an access point requesting authentication.
- Access-Reject
Sent by a RADIUS server rejecting access.
- Access-Accept
Sent by a RADIUS server allowing access.
- Access-Challenge
Sent by a RADIUS server requesting more information in order to allow access. The access point sends a proper response from the user and then sends another Access-Request message.
The following types of RADIUS messages are exchanged between the access point and the RADIUS server for user accounting:
- Accounting-Request
Sent by the access point requesting accounting.
- Accounting-Response
Sent by the RADIUS server to indicate that it has started or stopped accounting.
In order to ensure network security, the access point and the RADIUS server use a shared secret key, which is a password, they both know. The key is not sent over the network. In addition to the shared key, password information exchanged is also encrypted to protect the network from unauthorized access.
Types of EAP Authentication
This section discusses some popular authentication types: EAP-MD5, EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, PEAP and LEAP. Your wireless LAN device may not support all authentication types.
EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) is an authentication protocol that runs on top of the IEEE 802.1x transport mechanism in order to support multiple types of user authentication. By using EAP to interact with an EAP-compatible RADIUS server, an access point helps a wireless station and a RADIUS server perform authentication.
The type of authentication you use depends on the RADIUS server and an intermediary AP(s) that supports IEEE 802.1x..
For EAP-TLS authentication type, you must first have a wired connection to the network and obtain the certificate(s) from a certificate authority (CA). A certificate (also called digital IDs) can be used to authenticate users and a CA issues certificates and guarantees the identity of each certificate owner.
EAP-MD5 (Message-Digest Algorithm 5)
MD5 authentication is the simplest one-way authentication method. The authentication server sends a challenge to the wireless client. The wireless client 'proves' that it knows the password by encrypting the password with the challenge and sends back the information. Password is not sent in plain text.
However, MD5 authentication has some weaknesses. Since the authentication server needs to get the plaintext passwords, the passwords must be stored. Thus someone other than the authentication server may access the password file. In addition, it is possible to impersonate an authentication server as MD5 authentication method does not perform mutual authentication. Finally, MD5
authentication method does not support data encryption with dynamic session key. You must configure WEP encryption keys for data encryption.
EAP-TLS (Transport Layer Security)
With EAP-TLS, digital certifications are needed by both the server and the wireless clients for mutual authentication. The server presents a certificate to the client. After validating the identity of the server, the client sends a different certificate to the server. The exchange of certificates is done in the open before a secured tunnel is created. This makes user identity vulnerable to passive attacks. A digital certificate is an electronic ID card that authenticates the sender's identity. However, to implement EAP-TLS, you need a Certificate Authority (CA) to handle certificates, which imposes a management overhead.
EAP-TTLS (Tunnel Transport Layer Service)
EAP-TTLS is an extension of the EAP-TLS authentication that uses certificates for only the server-side authentications to establish a secure connection. Client authentication is then done by sending username and password through the secure connection, thus client identity is protected. For client authentication, EAP-TTLS supports EAP methods and legacy authentication methods such as PAP, CHAP, MS-CHAP and MS-CHAP v2.
PEAP (Protected EAP)
Like EAP-TTLS, server-side certificate authentication is used to establish a secure connection, then use simple username and password methods through the secured connection to authenticate the clients, thus hiding client identity. However, PEAP only supports EAP methods, such as EAP-MD5, EAP-MSCHAPv2 and EAP-GTC (EAP-Generic Token Card), for client authentication. EAP-GTC is implemented only by Cisco.
LEAP
LEAP (Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol) is a Cisco implementation of IEEE 802.1x.
Dynamic WEP Key Exchange
The AP maps a unique key that is generated with the RADIUS server. This key expires when the wireless connection times out, disconnects or reauthentication times out. A new WEP key is generated each time reauthentication is performed.
If this feature is enabled, it is not necessary to configure a default encryption key in the wireless security configuration screen. You may still configure and store keys, but they will not be used while dynamic WEP is enabled.
Note: EAP-MD5 cannot be used with Dynamic WEP Key Exchange
For added security, certificate-based authentications (EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS and PEAP) use dynamic keys for data encryption. They are often deployed in corporate environments, but for public deployment, a simple user name and password pair is more practical. The following table is a comparison of the features of authentication types.
Table 272 Comparison of EAP Authentication Types
| EAP-MD5 | EAP-TLS | EAP-TTLS | PEAP | LEAP | |
| Mutual Authentication | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Certificate – Client | No | Yes | Optional | Optional | No |
| Certificate – Server | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
| Dynamic Key Exchange | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Credential Integrity | None | Strong | Strong | Strong | Moderate |
| Deployment Difficulty | Easy | Hard | Moderate | Moderate | Moderate |
| Client Identity Protection | No | No | Yes | Yes | No |
WPA and WPA2
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a subset of the IEEE 802.11i standard. WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i) is a wireless security standard that defines stronger encryption, authentication and key management than WPA.
Key differences between WPA or WPA2 and WEP are improved data encryption and user authentication.
If both an AP and the wireless clients support WPA2 and you have an external RADIUS server, use WPA2 for stronger data encryption. If you don't have an external RADIUS server, you should use WPA2-PSK (WPA2-Pre-Shared Key) that only requires a single (identical) password entered into each access point, wireless gateway and wireless client. As long as the passwords match, a wireless client will be granted access to a WLAN.
If the AP or the wireless clients do not support WPA2, just use WPA or WPA-PSK depending on whether you have an external RADIUS server or not.
Select WEP only when the AP and/or wireless clients do not support WPA or WPA2. WEP is less secure than WPA or WPA2.
Encryption
Both WPA and WPA2 improve data encryption by using Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), Message Integrity Check (MIC) and IEEE 802.1x. WPA and WPA2
use Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) in the Counter mode with Cipher block chaining Message authentication code Protocol (CCMP) to offer stronger encryption than TKIP.
TKIP uses 128-bit keys that are dynamically generated and distributed by the authentication server. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is a block cipher that uses a 256-bit mathematical algorithm called Rijndael. They both include a per-packet key mixing function, a Message Integrity Check (MIC) named Michael, an extended initialization vector (IV) with sequencing rules, and a re-keying mechanism.
WPA and WPA2 regularly change and rotate the encryption keys so that the same encryption key is never used twice.
The RADIUS server distributes a Pairwise Master Key (PMK) key to the AP that then sets up a key hierarchy and management system, using the PMK to dynamically generate unique data encryption keys to encrypt every data packet that is wirelessly communicated between the AP and the wireless clients. This all happens in the background automatically.
The Message Integrity Check (MIC) is designed to prevent an attacker from capturing data packets, altering them and resending them. The MIC provides a strong mathematical function in which the receiver and the transmitter each compute and then compare the MIC. If they do not match, it is assumed that the data has been tampered with and the packet is dropped.
By generating unique data encryption keys for every data packet and by creating an integrity checking mechanism (MIC), with TKIP and AES it is more difficult to decrypt data on a Wi-Fi network than WEP and difficult for an intruder to break into the network.
The encryption mechanisms used for WPA(2) and WPA(2)-PSK are the same. The only difference between the two is that WPA(2)-PSK uses a simple common password, instead of user-specific credentials. The common-password approach makes WPA(2)-PSK susceptible to brute-force password-guessing attacks but it's still an improvement over WEP as it employs a consistent, single, alphanumeric password to derive a PMK which is used to generate unique temporal encryption keys. This prevent all wireless devices sharing the same encryption keys. (a weakness of WEP)
User Authentication
WPA and WPA2 apply IEEE 802.1x and Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) to authenticate wireless clients using an external RADIUS database. WPA2 reduces the number of key exchange messages from six to four (CCMP 4-way handshake) and shortens the time required to connect to a network. Other WPA2 authentication features that are different from WPA include key caching and pre
authentication. These two features are optional and may not be supported in all wireless devices.
Key caching allows a wireless client to store the PMK it derived through a successful authentication with an AP. The wireless client uses the PMK when it tries to connect to the same AP and does not need to go with the authentication process again.
Pre-authentication enables fast roaming by allowing the wireless client (already connecting to an AP) to perform IEEE 802.1x authentication with another AP before connecting to it.
Wireless Client WPA Suppliers
A wireless client supplicant is the software that runs on an operating system instructing the wireless client how to use WPA. At the time of writing, the most widely available supplicant is the WPA patch for Windows XP, Funk Software's Odyssey client.
The Windows XP patch is a free download that adds WPA capability to Windows XP's built-in "Zero Configuration" wireless client. However, you must run Windows XP to use it.
WPA(2) with RADIUS Application Example
To set up WPA(2), you need the IP address of the RADIUS server, its port number (default is 1812), and the RADIUS shared secret. A WPA(2) application example with an external RADIUS server looks as follows. "A" is the RADIUS server. "DS" is the distribution system.
1 The AP passes the wireless client's authentication request to the RADIUS server.
2 The RADIUS server then checks the user's identification against its database and grants or denies network access accordingly.
3 A 256-bit Pairwise Master Key (PMK) is derived from the authentication process by the RADIUS server and the client.
4 The RADIUS server distributes the PMK to the AP. The AP then sets up a key hierarchy and management system, using the PMK to dynamically generate unique data encryption keys. The keys are used to encrypt every data packet that is wirelessly communicated between the AP and the wireless clients.

Figure 453 WPA(2) with RADIUS Application Example
WPA(2)-PSK Application Example
A WPA(2)-PSK application looks as follows.
1 First enter identical passwords into the AP and all wireless clients. The Pre-Shared Key (PSK) must consist of between 8 and 63 ASCII characters or 64 hexadecimal characters (including spaces and symbols).
2 The AP checks each wireless client's password and allows it to join the network only if the password matches.
3 The AP and wireless clients generate a common PMK (Pairwise Master Key). The key itself is not sent over the network, but is derived from the PSK and the SSID.
4 The AP and wireless clients use the TKIP or AES encryption process, the PMK and information exchanged in a handshake to create temporal encryption keys. They use these keys to encrypt data exchanged between them.

Antenna Overview
An antenna couples RF signals onto air. A transmitter within a wireless device sends an RF signal to the antenna, which propagates the signal through the air. The antenna also operates in reverse by capturing RF signals from the air.
Positioning the antennas properly increases the range and coverage area of a wireless LAN.
Antenna Characteristics
Frequency
An antenna in the frequency of 2.4GHz (IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g) or 5GHz (IEEE 802.11a) is needed to communicate efficiently in a wireless LAN
Radiation Pattern
A radiation pattern is a diagram that allows you to visualize the shape of the antenna's coverage area.
Antenna Gain
Antenna gain, measured in dB (decibel), is the increase in coverage within the RF beam width. Higher antenna gain improves the range of the signal for better communications.
For an indoor site, each 1 dB increase in antenna gain results in a range increase of approximately 2.5% . For an unobstructed outdoor site, each 1dB increase in gain results in a range increase of approximately 5% . Actual results may vary depending on the network environment.
Antenna gain is sometimes specified in dBi, which is how much the antenna increases the signal power compared to using an isotropic antenna. An isotropic antenna is a theoretical perfect antenna that sends out radio signals equally well in all directions. dBi represents the true gain that the antenna provides.
Types of Antennas for WLAN
There are two types of antennas used for wireless LAN applications.
- Omni-directional antennas send the RF signal out in all directions on a horizontal plane. The coverage area is torus-shaped (like a donut) which makes these antennas ideal for a room environment. With a wide coverage area, it is possible to make circular overlapping coverage areas with multiple access points.
- Directional antennas concentrate the RF signal in a beam, like a flashlight does with the light from its bulb. The angle of the beam determines the width of the coverage pattern. Angles typically range from 20 degrees (very directional) to 120 degrees (less directional). Directional antennas are ideal for hallways and outdoor point-to-point applications.
Positioning Antennas
In general, antennas should be mounted as high as practically possible and free of obstructions. In point-to-point application, position both antennas at the same height and in a direct line of sight to each other to attain the best performance.
For omni-directional antennas mounted on a table, desk, and so on, point the antenna up. For omni-directional antennas mounted on a wall or ceiling, point the antenna down. For a single AP application, place omni-directional antennas as close to the center of the coverage area as possible.
For directional antennas, point the antenna in the direction of the desired coverage area.
Importing Certificates
This appendix shows you how to import public key certificates into your web browser.
Public key certificates are used by web browsers to ensure that a secure web site is legitimate. When a certificate authority such as VeriSign, Comodo, or Network Solutions, to name a few, receives a certificate request from a website operator, they confirm that the web domain and contact information in the request match those on public record with a domain name registrar. If they match, then the certificate is issued to the website operator, who then places it on the site to be issued to all visiting web browsers to let them know that the site is legitimate.
Many ZyXEL products, such as the ZyWALL, issue their own public key certificates. These can be used by web browsers on a LAN or WAN to verify that they are in fact connecting to the legitimate device and not one masquerading as it. However, because the certificates were not issued by one of the several organizations officially recognized by the most common web browsers, you will need to import the ZyXEL-created certificate into your web browser and flag that certificate as a trusted authority.
Note: You can see if you are browsing on a secure website if the URL in your web browser's address bar begins with https://or there is a sealed padlock icon ( ) somewhere in the main browser window (not all browsers show the padlock in the same location.)

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 WARRANTYES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY 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 LIBRARY 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 LIBRARY (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 LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCHDAMAGES.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2, June 1991
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 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.
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.

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 WARRANTYES 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.

- 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.
- 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.)
7. 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 licenses 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:
a. 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.
b. 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 thereof. 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.
12. Responsibility for claims
As between Initial Developer and the Contributors, each party is responsible for claims and damages arising, directly or indirectly, out of its utilization of rights under this License and You agree to work with Initial Developer and Contributors to distribute such responsibility on an equitable basis. Nothing herein is intended or shall be deemed to constitute any admission of liability.
13. Multiple-licensed code
Initial Developer may designate portions of the Covered Code as "Multiple-Licensed". "Multiple-Licensed" means that the Initial Developer permits you to utilize portions of the Covered Code under Your choice of the MPL or the alternative licenses, if any, specified by the Initial Developer in the file described in Exhibit A.
Exhibit A - Mozilla Public License.

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 COOPYING, 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 WARRANTYES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE
LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY 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 LIBRARY 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 LIBRARY (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 LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2, June 1991
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 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.
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 WARRANTYES 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.

- 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.
- 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.)
7. 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 licenses 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 declatory 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:
a. 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.
b. 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 thereof. 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.
12. Responsibility for claims
As between Initial Developer and the Contributors, each party is responsible for claims and damages arising, directly or indirectly, out of its utilization of rights under this License and You agree to work with Initial Developer and Contributors to distribute such responsibility on an equitable basis. Nothing herein is intended or shall be deemed to constitute any admission of liability.
13. Multiple-licensed code
Initial Developer may designate portions of the Covered Code as "Multiple-Licensed". "Multiple-Licensed" means that the Initial Developer permits you to utilize portions of the Covered Code under Your choice of the MPL or the alternative licenses, if any, specified by the Initial Developer in the file described in Exhibit A.
