ProSAFE Dual WAN Gigabit WAN SSL VPN Firewall FVS336Gv2
Roadmap to Setting Up IPv4 Internet Connections to Your
ISPs
Typically, the VPN firewall is installed as a network gateway to function as a combined LAN
switch and firewall to protect the network from incoming threats and provide secure
connections. To complement the firewall protection, NETGEAR recommends that you use a
gateway security appliance such as a NETGEAR ProSECURE® STM appliance.
The tasks that are required to complete the Internet connection of your VPN firewall depend
on whether you use an IPv4 connection, an IPv6 connection, or both to your Internet service
provider (ISP). For information about setting up an IPv6 connection, see
Configure the IPv6 Internet and WAN
Note: The VPN firewall supports simultaneous IPv4 and IPv6 connections.
Setting up IPv4 Internet connections to your ISP or ISPs includes seven tasks, five of which
are optional.

Complete these tasks:
1. Configure the IPv4 routing mode. Select either NAT or classical routing.
This task is described in
2. Configure the IPv4 Internet connections to your ISPs. Connect to one or more ISPs by
configuring up to two WAN interfaces.
You have four configuration options. These tasks are described in the following sections:
• Let the VPN Firewall Automatically Detect and Configure an IPv4 Internet Connection
on page 32
• Manually Configure a Static IPv4 Internet Connection
• Manually Configure a PPPoE IPv4 Internet Connection
• Manually Configure a PPTP IPv4 Internet Connection
3. (Optional) Configure either load balancing or auto-rollover. By default, the WAN
interfaces are configured for primary (single) WAN mode. You can select load balancing
or auto-rollover and a failure detection method. If you configure load balancing, you can also
configure protocol binding.
This task is described in
on page 48.
4. (Optional) Configure secondary WAN addresses on the WAN interfaces. Configure
aliases for each WAN interface.
This task is described in
5. (Optional) Configure Dynamic DNS on the WAN interfaces. If necessary, configure your
fully qualified domain names.
