Chapter 3 Wizard Setup; Overview; Internet Access Wizard Setup; Isp Parameters - ZyXEL Communications ZyWall P1 User Manual

This chapter provides information on the Wizard Setup screens in the advanced web
configurator.

3.1 Overview

The web configurator's setup wizards help you configure the WAN port on the ZyWALL to
access the Internet and edit VPN policies and configure IKE settings to establish a VPN
tunnel.

3.2 Internet Access Wizard Setup

The first Internet access wizard screen has three variations depending on what encapsulation
type you use. Refer to your ISP checklist in the Quick Start Guide to know what to enter in
each field. Leave a field blank if you don't have that information.

3.2.1 ISP Parameters

The ZyWALL offers three choices of encapsulation. They are Ethernet, PPTP or PPPoE.

3.2.2 WAN and DNS

The second wizard screen allows you to configure WAN IP address assignment, DNS server
address assignment and the WAN MAC address.

3.2.2.1 WAN IP Address Assignment

Every computer on the Internet must have a unique IP address. If your networks are isolated
from the Internet, for instance, only between your two branch offices, you can assign any IP
addresses to the hosts without problems. However, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority
(IANA) has reserved the following three blocks of IP addresses specifically for private
networks.
