Physically connect modem device
Attach the modem serial cable to the CyberGuard SG appliance’s serial port (
COM1
).
Note
To connect to an ISDN line, the CyberGuard SG appliance requires an intermediate
device called a Terminal Adapter (TA).
A TA connects into your ISDN line and has either
a serial or Ethernet port that is connected to your CyberGuard SG appliance.
Do not
plug
an ISDN connection directly in to your CyberGuard SG appliance.
Dialout Internet
Select
Dialout Internet
to use this port as your primary Internet connection.
A page
similar to the following figure will be displayed.
Figure 3-7
The following table describes the fields and explains how to configure the dial up
connection to your ISP.
Field
Description
Name of Internet provider
Enter the name of your ISP.
Phone number(s) to dial
Enter the number to dial to reach your ISP.
If you are
behind a PABX that requires you to dial a prefix for an
outside line (e.g.
0 or 9) ensure you enter the appropriate
prefix.
If your ISP has provided you with multiple phone
numbers, you may enter them separated with commas.

ISP DNS Server(s)
(
optional
)
Enter the DNS server address supplied by your ISP.
Multiple DNS addresses may be entered separated by
commas.
Note that any DNS addresses automatically
handed out by your ISP will take precedence over the
addresses specified here.
Username and password
Enter the unique username and password allocated by your
ISP.
The
Password
and
Confirm Password
fields
must
match.
Click
Advanced
to configure the following options.
Field
Description
Idle timeout
By default, the CyberGuard SG appliance dials-on-demand
(i.e.
when there is traffic trying to reach the Internet) and
disconnects if the connection is inactive (i.e.
when there is
no traffic to/from the Internet) for 15 minutes.
If using dial-
on-demand, this value can be set from 0 to 99 minutes.
Selecting
Stay Connected
will disable the idle timeout.
Redial setup
If the dial up connection to the Internet fails,
Max
Connection Attempts
specifies
the number of redial
attempts to make before discontinuing .
Time Between
Redials
specifies the number of seconds to wait between
redial attempts.
Statically assigned IP
address
The majority of ISPs dynamically assign an IP address to
your connection when you dialin.
However some ISPs use
pre-assigned static addresses.
If your ISP has given you a
static IP address, enter it in
Local IP Address
and enter the
address of the ISP gateway in
Remote IP Address
.
If a connect of demand connection has been set up,
Connect Now
/
Disconnect Now
buttons will be displayed.
These make the CyberGuard SG appliance dial or hang up the
modem connection immediately.
Dialin access
Select
Dialin Access
to use this port as a dialin server to allow remote users to connect
to your local network.
Refer to the chapter entitled
Dialin Setup
for details on configuring
the CyberGuard SG appliance and remote client.

Bridging
The CyberGuard SG may be configured as a network bridge.
You may bridge between
network ports (e.g. Internet – LAN) or enable bridging on a single port (typically LAN or
DMZ) for bridging across a VPN connection.
When bridging has been enabled, a
Bridge
/
br0
port will appear in the
Connections
menu.
It will be allocated the IP address of the port on which bridging was enabled.
This
IP address will be used primarily for accessing the CyberGuard SG appliance
management console, and does not have to be part of the networks that the CyberGuard
SG appliance may being used to bridge between.
Bridging between network ports
Select
Bridged
(
Internet
/
DMZ
/
LAN
) on the two ports to create a bridge between them.
The CyberGuard SG appliance will learn which computers or devices are present on
either side of the bridge and direct traffic appropriately.
Note
When the CyberGuard SG appliance is bridging between LAN and Internet, it will not be
performing NAT/masquerading.
PCs will typically use an IP address on the network
connected to the CyberGuard SG appliance’s Internet port as their gateway, rather than
the CyberGuard SG appliance itself.
Bridging across a VPN connection
Bridging across a VPN connection is useful for:
•
Sending IPX/SPX over a VPN, something that is not supported by other VPN
vendors.
•
Serving DHCP addresses to remote sites to ensure that they are under better
control.
•
It allows users to make use of protocols that do not work well in a WAN
environment (e.g.
netbios
).
A guide to bridging across an IPSec tunnel using GRE is provided in the section entitled
GRE over IPSec
in the
Virtual Private Networking
chapter.

Warning
The unit may take up to 30 seconds longer than normal to reboot after bridging has been
enabled.
Routes
Additional routes
The Additional routes feature allows expert users to add additional static routes for the
CyberGuard SG appliance.
These routes are additional to those created automatically by
the CyberGuard SG appliance configuration scripts.
Route management
Your CyberGuard SG appliance can be configured to automatically exchange routing
information with other routers.
Note that this feature is intended for network
administrators adept at configuring route management services.
Check
Enable route management
, select the
Protocol
you wish to use to exchange
routes and click
Apply
.
Once enabled, the routing manager can be configured by editing
zebra.conf
and protocol
d.conf
(e.g.
bgpd.conf
) through
Advanced
->
Configuration
Files
.
For more information on configuring route management, refer to:
Advanced
Unit hostname
The
Unit Hostname
is a descriptive name for the CyberGuard SG appliance on the
network.
If network shares or printers are being shared, this is the computer name that will be
displayed in when browsing the network from a Windows PC
(SG565 only)
.
Page 80 / 249
Network Connections
75
Unit workgroup
Note
SG565 only.
The
Unit Workgroup
is the Windows workgroup or domain to share printers or network
shares with.
These shares resources will not be visible to machines on the LAN that are
not members of this workgroup or domain.
Figure 3-5
DNS proxy
The CyberGuard SG appliance can also be configured to run as a Domain Name Server.
The CyberGuard SG appliance acts as a DNS Proxy and passes incoming DNS requests
to the appropriate external DNS server.
If this is enabled, all the computers on the LAN
should specify the IP address of the CyberGuard SG appliance as their DNS server.
