Reference Manual for the ProSafe VPN Firewall FVS114
These addresses are part of the IETF-designated private address range for use in private networks,
and should be suitable in most applications. If your network has a requirement to use a different IP
addressing scheme, you can make those changes in this menu.
The LAN IP parameters are:
• IP Address
This is the LAN IP address of the firewall.
• IP Subnet Mask
This is the LAN Subnet Mask of the firewall. Combined with the IP address, the IP Subnet
Mask allows a device to know which other addresses are local to it, and which must be reached
through a gateway or firewall.
• RIP Direction
RIP (Router Information Protocol) allows a firewall to exchange routing information with
other firewalls. The RIP Direction selection controls how the firewall sends and receives RIP
packets. Both is the default.
— When set to Both or Out Only, the firewall broadcasts its routing table periodically.
— When set to Both or In Only, it incorporates the RIP information that it receives.
— When set to None, it will not send any RIP packets and ignores any RIP packets received.
• RIP Version
This controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP packets that the firewall
sends. (It recognizes both formats when receiving.) By default, this is set for RIP-1.
— RIP-1 is universally supported. RIP-1 is probably adequate for most networks, unless you
have an unusual network setup.
— RIP-2 carries more information. RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting.
Note: If you change the LAN IP address of the firewall while connected through the
browser, you will be disconnected. You must then open a new connection to the new IP
address and log in again.
