Reference Manual for the ProSafe VPN Firewall FVS318v3 Configuring LAN TCP/IP Setup Parameters The firewall is shipped preconfigured to use private IP addresses on the LAN side, and to act as a DHCP server. The firewall's default LAN IP configuration is: • LAN IP addresses-192.168.0.1 • Subnet mask-255.255.255.0 These addresses are part of the IETF-designated private address range for use in private networks, and should be suitable in most applications. If your network has a requirement to use a different IP addressing scheme, you can make those changes in this menu. The LAN IP parameters are: • IP Address This is the LAN IP address of the firewall. • IP Subnet Mask This is the LAN Subnet Mask of the firewall. Combined with the IP address, the IP Subnet Mask allows a device to know which other addresses are local to it, and which must be reached through a gateway or firewall. • RIP Direction RIP (Router Information Protocol) allows a firewall to exchange routing information with other firewalls. The RIP Direction selection controls how the firewall sends and receives RIP packets. Both is the default. - When set to Both or Out Only, the firewall broadcasts its routing table periodically. - When set to Both or In Only, it incorporates the RIP information that it receives. - When set to None, it will not send any RIP packets and ignores any RIP packets received. • RIP Version This controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP packets that the firewall sends. (It recognizes both formats when receiving.) By default, this is set for RIP-1. - RIP-1 is universally supported. RIP-1 is probably adequate for most networks, unless you have an unusual network setup. - RIP-2 carries more information. RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting. Advanced Configuration 8-3 January 2005
