Allow IDENT Port
Port 113 (IDENT) normally contains the Host Name/Company Name information. By default the
Symantec Firewall/VPN has all ports stealth. This makes your computer(s) invisible to those
outside. Some servers (like a certain E-Mail or MIRC servers) use the IDENT port of the system
accessing them. Enabling this setting makes Port 113 Closed, not Stealth (it is NOT Open). Only
enable if you are having problems accessing a server.
NAT Function
Disabling NAT turns the Symantec Firewall/VPN into a bridge or pure router. This is useful if you
already have a NAT device on your network and are using the Symantec Firewall/VPN as a PPPoE
"dial-up" device only. You must have routing entries made on the routing table or be using RIP2
for proper communication with NAT disabled.
RIP V2
Lets you enable RIP2 functionality of the unit. RIP2 is a dynamic routing protocol used to direct
traffic over routed networks.
Log Level
Choosing Debug will give more detailed information in the status log that is useful for Symantec
support. It also throws all WAN side packets into the LAN for easy port scanning. Keep this
setting at user level unless needed as Debug mode can cause collisions under heavy traffic loads.
IPsec Type
IPsec pass through is implemented automatically by the Symantec Firewall/VPN. Keep at 2 SPI
unless instructed by Symantec support. None lets you use your VPN client in Exposed Host
(DMZ) mode if having problems connecting from behind the Symantec Firewall/VPN.
Language
You can choose one of the available languages for the user interface by checking the check box
next to the language.
