  • Page 10: Network Address Translation (Nat)

    Network Address Translation (NAT) In NAT mode, the DFL-1000 is installed as a privacy barrier between the internal network and the Internet. The firewall provides network address translation to protect the private network. In NAT mode, you can add a DMZ network to provide public access to Internal servers while protecting them behind the firewall on a separate internal network.

    DHCP. Use the internal address of the DFL-1000 as the DHCP server IP address. If you are running the DFL-1000 in Transparent mode, you do not have to make any changes to your network. Once the DFL-1000 is connected, make sure it is functioning properly by connecting to the internet from a computer on your internal network.

  • Page 25: Setting The Date And Time

    For effective scheduling and logging, the DFL-1000 date and time should be accurate. You can either manually set the DFL-1000 time or you can configure the DFL-1000 to automatically keep its time correct by synchronizing with a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server.

  • Page 26: Firewall Configuration

    Accepting incoming connections in NAT mode The most secure way to operate an Internet server is to run the DFL-1000 in NAT mode and isolate the server on your DMZ network. Isolating the server on the DMZ is more secure because from there the server cannot be used to indirectly attack the internal network.

    Arranging a one-time schedule in the policy list to deny access: Users and authentication You can configure the DFL-1000 to require users to authenticate (enter a user name and password) to access services through the firewall. To configure authentication you need to add user names and passwords to the firewall and then add policies that require authentication.

  • Page 43: Adding Authentication To A Policy

    Click New. • Enter a User Name and Password to add users to the DFL-1000. The password must be at least 6 characters long and may contain numbers (0-9) and upper and lower case letters (A-Z, a-z) but no spaces.

  • Page 44: Virtual Ips

    IP/MAC binding provides added security against IP Spoofing attacks. IP Spoofing attempts to use the IP address of a trusted computer to access the DFL-1000 from a different computer. The IP address of a computer can easily be changed to a trusted address, but MAC addresses are added to ethernet cards at the factory and cannot easily be changed.

  • Page 45: Adding Ip/Mac Binding Addresses

    Traffic Shaping makes it possible to control which policies have the highest priority when large amounts of data are moving through the DFL-1000. For example, the policy for the corporate web server might be given higher priority than the policies for most employees' computers. An employee who needs unusually high speed Internet access could have a special outgoing policy set up with higher bandwidth.

  • Page 46: Vpn Pass Through

    Internet. VPN pass through allows the VPN connection to pass-through your firewall and connect to the destination VPN. The DFL-1000 performs address translation on the connection, so that it seems to the target VPN gateway that the connection to its VPN is originating from the external interface of your DFL-1000.

  • Page 47: Ipsec Vpns

    Because the DFL-1000 supports the IPSec industry standard for VPN, you can configure a VPN between the DFL-1000 and any third party VPN client or gateway/firewall that supports IPSec VPN. To successfully establish the tunnel, the VPN settings must be the same on the DFL-1000 and the third party product.

  • Page 48: Creating The Vpn Tunnel

    Communication between the two networks takes place in an encrypted VPN tunnel that connects the two DFL-1000 VPN gateways across the Internet. Users on the internal networks are not aware that when they connect to a computer on the other network that the connection is across the Internet.

  • Page 57: Testing A Vpn

    The IPSec VPN tunnel starts automatically when the first data packet destined for the VPN is intercepted by the DFL-1000. To confirm that a VPN between a network and one or more clients has been configured correctly, start a VPN client and use the ping command to connect to a computer on the internal network.

    This user name and password is not the same as your VPN user name and password. RADIUS authentication for PPTP and L2TP VPNs If you have RADIUS servers installed, you can configure the DFL-1000 to use RADIUS for authenticating PPTP and L2TP users. To configure RADIUS authentication you must add the IP addresses of your RADIUS servers to the DFL-1000 VPN configuration and then turn on RADIUS support for PPTP and L2TP.

  • Page 67: Adding Radius Server Addresses

    If you have added PPTP and L2TP user names and passwords and configured RADIUS support, when a PPTP or L2TP user connects to a DFL-1000, their user name and password are checked against the DFL-1000 PPTP or L2TP user name and password list. If a match is not found, the DFL-1000 contacts the RADIUS server for authentication.

  • Page 68: Intrusion Detection System (Ids)

    With attack prevention configured, the DFL-1000 monitors Internet connections for up to 11 common network attacks. If the DFL-1000 detects one of these attacks, it takes action to prevent the attack from affecting your Internet connection. All attacks are recorded in the attack log. You can also configure the DFL-1000 to send alert emails to system administrators if an attack is detected.

  • Page 69: Testing Email Alerts

    Make sure that the DNS server settings are correct for the DFL-1000. See Setting DNS server addresses. Because the DFL-1000 uses the SMTP server name to connect to the mail server, it must be able to look up this name on your DNS server. Example alert email settings: Testing email alerts You can test your email alert settings by sending a test email.
