Expert Level
This screen provides advanced settings for the Symantec Firewall/VPN. Most users can safely
ignore these settings because the defaults are optimal and the most secure.
Symantec Firewall/VPN 200 features broadband connection binding with its dual Modem Ports.
You can mix connection types on the ports (actually, for backup reasons, this is recommended). So
you can bind a cable Internet connection and a DSL connection, or Static IP and SDSL, PPPoE and
DHCP.
The Symantec Firewall/VPN 200 will bind the bandwidth on your two connections by sending
network packets to both WAN ports. If you want, you can bind hosts to a single WAN port. Any
single download on the network will not be able to exceed the maximum bandwidth available on a
single WAN but the overall effect of this binding is that the entire network experiences vastly
improved performance. The more computers you have, the greater the performance increase you'll
notice over a single Internet connection.
If you make any changes to the Expert Level Screen, click Save.
Clicking Restore Defaults returns the Symantec Firewall/VPN to factory settings.
