Reference Manual for the ProSafe VPN Firewall 200 FVX538 In your IP network, each PC and the firewall must be assigned a unique IP addresses. Each PC must also have certain other IP configuration information such as a subnet mask (netmask), a domain name server (DNS) address, and a default gateway address. In most cases, you should install TCP/IP so that the PC obtains its specific network configuration information automatically from a DHCP server during bootup. For a detailed explanation of the meaning and purpose of these configuration items, refer to "Appendix B, "Network, Routing, Firewall, and Basics." The FVX538 VPN firewall is shipped preconfigured as a DHCP server. The firewall assigns the following TCP/IP configuration information automatically when the PCs are rebooted: • PC or workstation IP addresses-192.168.0.2 through 192.168.0.254 • Subnet mask-255.255.255.0 • Gateway address (the firewall)-192.168.1.1 These addresses are part of the IETF-designated private address range for use in private networks.
