Administrator's Guide

Chapter 8. Network Configuration
Under Network Configuration, you configure:
• Network groups which are used for the Telecommuting Module configuration
• The Telecommuting Module’s IP addresses on all network interfaces
• Routings for the networks so that computers behind routers can be contacted
• VLAN settings
• PPPoE settings
• The Telecommuting Module network environment (only for the DMZ type)
Networks and Computers
Here, you name groups of computers and networks. Sometimes it can be useful to give a
group of computers a network name, such as Administration. If you want to group some
computers, this can be done here, even if they do not have consecutive IP addresses. You can
also include a subgroup when defining a new network group.
The names are used when you configure Surroundings, Filtering and Local Registrar.
Every group of computers which can reach each other without having to pass through the
firewall needs a separate network group.
The rows are sorted in alphabetical order, except that all upper case letters are sorted before
lower case letters (B comes before a).
When using an already defined group as a subgroup, select the name of the group under
Subgroup. Set Interface/VLAN to ’-’ and leave the other fields empty.
