- BaseWall VPN 6000 user manual -
already have a local network, then this network address should have a
predefined value (if uncertain, contact your network administrator). In this
case, please note that BaseWall VPN 6000 displays the net mask as a number
of bits, not in the 255.255.255.0 format.
If you do not have a local network, then you need to pick an address for your
local network first. There are a number of possible network addresses set aside
for use in a local network. The table below lists the possible IP addresses, their
net masks and uses:
Network Address Net mask Internal IP addresses maximum
addresses
192.168.0.0 16 192.168.x.n 65 thousand
172.16.0.0 12 172.16-31.x.n 1 million
10.0.0.0 8 10.x.y.n 16 million
Where x, y can denote any predefined number between 0 and 255, n may be any number between 1 and
254.
Users who intend to use the BaseWall VPN 6000 to connect their local network
to another LAN by means of a VPN tunnel (or indeed, anyone wishing to leave
this option open) will do well to choose a different network address for each
LAN (for example 192.168.0.0, 192.168.1.0, 192.168.2.0 etc.).
As an example only, we will make use of a 192.168.0.0 network in this user
manual. We will set the firewall's internal IP address to 192.168.0.1 and the net
mask value to 24 (as befits a 192.168.0.x network).
➔ Enter a firewall IP address.
➔ Enter the corresponding net mask.
➔ Write down the IP address and net mask values for later reference.
