2-2 Connecting the VPN Firewall to the Internet
v1.0, January 2010
5. Configure dynamic DNS on the WAN ports (optional). Configure your fully qualified
domain names during this phase (if required). See “Configuring Dynamic DNS (Optional)” on
page 2-14.
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. However,
these are advanced features and changing them is not usually required. See “Configuring the
Advanced WAN Options (Optional)” on page 2-16.
Each of these tasks is detailed separately in this chapter. The configuration of firewall and VPN
features is described in later chapters.
Logging into the VPN Firewall
To connect to the VPN firewall, your computer needs to be configured to obtain an IP address
automatically via DHCP. If you need instructions on how to configure you computer for DHCP,
refer to the “Preparing Your Network” document that you can access from the link in Appendix E,
“Related Documents.”
To log in to the VPN firewall:
1. Connect to the VPN firewall by typing http://192.168.1.1 in the address field of your browser.
2. When prompted, enter admin for the VPN firewall user name and password for the VPN
firewall password, both in lower case letters. (The VPN firewall user name and password are
not the same as any user name or password you may use to log in to your Internet connection.)
3. Click Login.
Configuring the Internet Connections to Your ISPs
You should first configure your Internet connections to your ISPs on WAN port 1, and then on
WAN port 2.
Note: You might want to enable remote management at this time so that you can log
in remotely in the future to manage the VPN firewall (see “Configuring an
External Server for Authentication” on page 6-11). If you enable remote
management, you are strongly advised to change your password (see
“Changing Passwords and Settings” on page 6-8).
