To configure the network storage, you must use a Web browser such as Microsoft Internet
Explorer 6 or higher, Mozilla Firefox 3 or higher, or Apple Safari 3 or higher with JavaScript,
cookies, and you must have SSL enabled.
Although these Web browsers are qualified for use with the network storage’s Web
Management Interface for configuring the network storage, SSL VPN users should choose a
browser that supports JavaScript, Java, cookies, SSL, and ActiveX to take advantage of the
full suite of applications. Note that Java is only required for the SSL VPN portal, not the Web
Management Interface.

The initial Internet configuration of the VPN firewall, is described in this chapter. This chapter
contains the following sections:
•
Understanding the Connection Steps
” on this page.
•
“Logging into the VPN Firewall”
on page 15.
•
“Navigating the Menus”
on page 16.
•
“Configuring the Internet Connections”
on page 17.
•
“Configuring the WAN Mode (Required for Dual WAN)”
on page 22.
•
“Configuring Dynamic DNS (Optional)”
on page 26.
•
“Configuring the Advanced WAN Options (Optional)”
on page 28.
Understanding the Connection Steps
Typically, six steps are required to complete the basic Internet connection of your VPN
firewall.
1.
Connect the network storage physically to your network
. Connect the cables and
restart your network according to the instructions in the installation guide. See the
Installation Guide, FVS336G ProSafe Dual WAN Gigabit Firewall with SSL & IPsec VPN
for complete steps. A PDF of the
Installation Guide
is on the NETGEAR website at:
.
2.
Log in to the VPN Firewall
. After logging in, you are ready to set up and configure your
VPN firewall. You can also change your password and enable remote management at
this time. See
“Logging into the VPN Firewall”
on page 15.
3.
Configure the Internet connections to your ISP(s)
. During this phase, you will
connect to your ISPs. See
“Configuring the Internet Connections”
on page 17.
4.
Configure the WAN mode (required for dual WAN operation)
. Select either dedicated
(single WAN) mode, auto-rollover mode, or load balancing mode. For load balancing,
you can also select any necessary protocol bindings. See

Configure dynamic DNS on the WAN ports (optional)
. Configure your fully qualified
domain names during this phase (if required). See
“Configuring Dynamic DNS

on page 26.
6.
Configure the WAN options (optional)
. Optionally, you can enable each WAN port to
respond to a ping, and you can change the factory default MTU size and port speed.

“Configuring the Advanced WAN Options (Optional)”
on page 28.
Each of these tasks is detailed separately in this chapter. The configuration of firewall and
VPN features is described in later chapters.
