ProSAFE Gigabit Quad WAN SSL VPN Firewall SRX5308
•
DNS proxy
. When DHCP is enabled and no DNS addresses are specified, the VPN
firewall provides its own address as a DNS server to the attached computers. The firewall
obtains actual DNS addresses from the ISP during connection setup and forwards DNS
requests from the LAN.
•
PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)
. PPPoE is a protocol for connecting remote hosts to the
Internet over a DSL connection by simulating a dial-up connection.
•
Quality of Service (QoS)
. The VPN firewall supports QoS, including traffic prioritization
and traffic classification with Type of Service (ToS) and Differentiated Services Code
Point (DSCP) marking.
•
Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP)
. A tunneling protocol that is used to support virtual
private networks (VPNs).
•
Point to Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP)
.
Another tunneling protocol that is used to
support VPNs.
Easy Installation and Management
You can install, configure, and operate the VPN firewall within minutes after connecting it to
the network. The following features simplify installation and management tasks:
•
Browser-based management
. Browser-based configuration allows you to easily
configure the VPN firewall from almost any type of operating system, such as Windows,
Macintosh, or Linux. Online help documentation is built into the browser-based web
management interface.
•
Auto-detection of ISP
. The VPN firewall automatically senses the type of Internet
connection, asking you only for the information required for your type of ISP account.
•
IPSec VPN Wizard
. The VPN firewall includes the NETGEAR IPSec VPN Wizard so you
can easily configure IPSec VPN tunnels according to the recommendations of the Virtual
Private Network Consortium (VPNC). This ensures that the IPSec VPN tunnels are
interoperable with other VPNC-compliant VPN routers and clients.
•
SNMP
. The VPN firewall supports the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to
let you monitor and manage log resources from an SNMP-compliant system manager.
The SNMP system configuration lets you change the system variables for MIB2.
•
Diagnostic functions
. The VPN firewall incorporates built-in diagnostic functions such
as ping, traceroute, DNS lookup, and remote reboot.
•
Remote management
. The VPN firewall allows you to log in to the web management
interface from a remote location on the Internet. For security, you can limit remote
management access to a specified remote IP address or range of addresses.
•
Visual monitoring
. The VPN firewall’s front panel LEDs provide an easy way to monitor
its status and activity.

Choose a Location for the VPN Firewall
The VPN firewall is suitable for use in an office environment where it can be freestanding (on
its runner feet) or mounted into a standard 19-inch equipment rack. Alternatively, you can
rack-mount the VPN firewall in a wiring closet or equipment room.
Consider the following when deciding where to position the VPN firewall:
•
The unit is accessible, and cables can be connected easily.
•
Cabling is away from sources of electrical noise. These include lift shafts, microwave
ovens, and air-conditioning units.
•
Water or moisture cannot enter the case of the unit.
•
Airflow around the unit and through the vents in the side of the case is not restricted.
Provide a minimum of 25 mm or 1-inch clearance.
•
The air is as free of dust as possible.
•
Temperature operating limits are not likely to be exceeded. Install the unit in a clean,
air-conditioned environment. For information about the recommended operating
temperatures for the VPN firewall, see
Appendix A, Default Settings and Technical
Specifications
