VSG-1200 User’s Guide H A P T E R Getting to Know Your VSG This chapter introduces the features and applications of the VSG. 1.1 Introducing the VSG The VSG (Vantage Service Gateway) is a rack-mountable Internet Service Gateway that provides multiple subscribers easy Internet connectivity.
Page 28: Reset Button
VSG-1200 User’s Guide SSL Secure Login With Secure Socket Layer (SSL) security activated upon login, data exchanged between the VSG and client computers is encrypted and protected. PPPoE Support (RFC2516) PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) emulates a dial-up connection. It allows your ISP to use their existing network configuration with newer broadband technologies such as ADSL.
Page 29: Dns Proxy
VSG-1200 User’s Guide DHCP Support DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows the individual computers (DHCP clients) to obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a centralized DHCP server. The VSG has built-in DHCP server capability. It can assign IP addresses, an IP default gateway and DNS servers to DHCP clients.
Page 30: Applications
VSG-1200 User’s Guide NAT (Network Address Translation) NAT (RFC 1631) is the translation of the IP address of a host in a packet, for example, the source address of an outgoing packet, used within one network to a different IP address known within another network.

Page 52: Ip Address And Subnet Mask
VSG-1200 User’s Guide 4.4.1 IP Address and Subnet Mask Like houses on a street that share a common street name, the computers on a LAN share one common network number. Where you obtain your network number depends on your particular situation. If the ISP or your network administrator assigns you a block of registered IP addresses, follow their instructions in selecting the IP addresses and the subnet mask.
Page 53: Dns Server Address
DNS (Domain Name System) is for mapping a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice versa, for example, the IP address of www.zyxel.com is 204.217.0.2. The DNS server is extremely important because without it, you must know the IP address of a machine before you can access it.
Page 54: Wan Configuration
VSG-1200 User’s Guide Note: You must restart the VSG if you change the IP address. If you set the VSG as a DHCP server on the LAN, the VSG will automatically change the LAN DHCP settings based on the new LAN IP address. 4.7 WAN Configuration To configure the WAN settings on the VSG, click System Settings and WAN/LAN.

VSG-1200 User’s Guide H A P T E R NAT Pool This chapter shows how to configure Network Address Translation (NAT) on the WAN for VPN packets. 5.1 NAT Introduction NAT (Network Address Translation - NAT, RFC 1631) is the translation of the IP address of a host in a packet, for example, the source address of an outgoing packet, used within one network to a different IP address known within another network.
Page 64: What Nat Does
VSG-1200 User’s Guide 5.1.2 What NAT Does In the simplest form, NAT changes the source IP address in a packet received from a subscriber (the inside local address) to another (the inside global address) before forwarding the packet to the WAN side. When the response comes back, NAT translates the destination address (the inside global address) back to the inside local address before forwarding it to the original inside host.
Page 65: Nat Examples
VSG-1200 User’s Guide In order to allow subscribers to establish multiple VPN connections to a remote VPN device with single-connection-per-source limitation, set the VSG to perform NAT on the WAN. You need to configure NAT address pool for use with VPN connections on the WAN port. The VSG automatically maps one/more private IP addresses to one/more public IP addresses for VPN packets.
Page 66: Example 2: Many-To-One
VSG-1200 User’s Guide 5.3.2 Example 2: Many-to-One The figure below shows an example where the two subscribers S1 and S2 try to establish a secure VPN connection to VPN servers V1 and V2 respectively at the same time. In this case, the VSG performs Many-to-One IP address translation on the WAN since the destination address is different.

Page 250: Table 92 Allowed Ip Address Range By Class
VSG-1200 User’s Guide Since the first octet of a class “A” IP address must contain a “0”, the first octet of a class “A” address can have a value of 0 to 127. Similarly the first octet of a class “B” must begin with “10”, therefore the first octet of a class “B”...

VSG-1200 User’s Guide Example: Four Subnets The above example illustrated using a 25-bit subnet mask to divide a class “C” address space into two subnets. Similarly to divide a class “C” address into four subnets, you need to “borrow” two host ID bits to give four possible combinations of 00, 01, 10 and 11. The subnet mask is 26 bits (11111111.11111111.11111111.11000000) or 255.255.255.192.
