Models 2603, 2621, and 2635 Getting Started Guide 7 • Security Introduction Security provides the ability to setup and enforce security policies. The policies define the types of traffic permitted to pass through a gateway, either inbound, outbound, or both, and from which origins the traffic may be allowed to enter. Within the security configuration is a stateful firewall. A stateful firewall utilizes a security mechanism to maintain information concerning the packets it receives.

Models 2603, 2621, and 2635 Getting Started Guide 7 • Security Introduction to NAT The basic steps for configuring NAT are: 1. Enable NAT between the internal and external interfaces of the firewall. 2. Create global addresses which will be added to the global pool of IP addresses on the WAN interface. 3. Create a reserved mapping between a global IP address and the IP address of an internal PC. A Global Address Pool is a pool of addresses seen from the outside network.

Models 2603, 2621, and 2635 Getting Started Guide 8 • DHCP and DNS Configuration Introduction The routers offer a DHCP Server, DHCP Relay capability, and DNS Relay incorporated into the IPLink. Of the two DHCP features, only one can be enabled at a time-either DHCP server or DHCP relay. DNS relay can hold two DNS server IP addresses in memory so the DNS relay can forward DNS queries and responses between the host user and the DNS server.

Models 2603, 2621, and 2635 Getting Started Guide 8 • DHCP and DNS Configuration The third parameter is • Get subnet from IP interface: If you use this option, then you will not enter any values in the first two parameters. Should you define another subnet and also select ‘Get subnet from IP interface,’ the IPLink uses the ‘Get subnet from IP interface’ as the ruling parameter and sets ‘Subnet value’ and ‘Subnet mask’ appropriately, overriding your initial selection.
Models 2603, 2621, and 2635 Getting Started Guide 8 • DHCP and DNS Configuration Figure 59. Example based on default range of IP address pool DNS server option information When a client requests an IP address from a DHCP server, the server can also send the IP addresses of the primary and secondary DNS servers’ IP addresses. The IPLink can accomplish this in one of two ways, neither really having an advantage over the other.
