Config Password

Custom ISP accounts might require a change; otherwise leave it at its default of 255.255.255.0
(Class C network).

DHCP

The DHCP server in the Firewall/VPN, enabled by default, serves IP addresses and DNS
information to up to 253 computers connected to it. For this to work, your computers must be set to
"Obtain IP Automatically" or "Obtain from DHCP Server" in the control panel (see Configuring
your computer on page 2-5 for more information).
The Symantec Firewall/VPN always assigns an IP address for the DNS server (192.168.0.1 by
default) unless static DNSs are set. This is normal, as the Symantec Firewall/VPN will take care of
DNS requests sent to the ISP.
You can disable the DHCP server in the Firewall/VPN. This is useful if you already have a DHCP
server on your network or if the computers on your LAN have Static IPs entered into their network
properties. For example, if you have a web server on your site, you will want to assign it a static
address.
The DHCP Range shows the range of IP addresses you want given out by the DHCP server.
The DHCP Table lists all the hosts in the Firewall/VPN's DHCP server and their properties.
If you make any changes, click Save after entering all information.
Config Password
This password protects the Symantec Firewall/VPN's Web interface by asking for authentication
when accessing the unit. It is recommended that you set a password when working in an office
environment to prevent possible reconfiguration. You should always have a password when
enabling remote configuration (see the Expert Level screen). In addition, Symantec recommends
that the unit should be externally remotely managed through a VPN Tunnel.
