  • Page 39: Services

    Services A service is basically a definition of a specific IP protocol with corresponding parameters. The service http, for instance, is defined as using the TCP protocol with destination port 80. Services are simplistic, in that they cannot carry out any action in the firewall on their own. Thus, a service definition does not include any information whether the service should be allowed through the firewall or not.

  • Page 40: Adding Ip Protocol

    Adding IP Protocol When the type of the service is IP Protocol, an IP protocol number may be specified in the text field. To have the service match the GRE protocol, for example, the IP protocol should be specified as 47. A list of some defined IP protocols can be found in the appendix named “IP Protocol Numbers.”...

  • Page 41: Protocol-Independent Settings

  • Page 44: Authentication Protocols

    Authentication Protocols PPP supports different authentication protocols, PAP, CHAP, MS-CHAP v1 and MSCHAP v2. The authentication protocol to be used is decided during LCP negotiation. PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) is a simple, plaintext authentication scheme, which means that both user name and password are sent over the tunnel plaintext. PAP is therefore not considered a secure authentication protocol.

The different settings per tunnel are: Limit MTU With this setting it is possible to limit the MTU (Max Transferable Unit) of the VPN tunnel.

  • Page 51: Proposal Lists

    Proposal Lists To agree on the VPN connection parameters, a negotiation process is performed. As the result of the negotiations, the IKE and IPSec security associations (SA) are established. As the name implies, a proposal is the starting point for the negotiation. A proposal defines encryption parameters, for instance encryption algorithm, life times etc, that the VPN gateway supports.

  • Page 52: Certificates

    Certificates A certificate is a digital proof of identity. It links an identity to a public key in a trustworthy manner. Certificates can be used to authenticate individual users or other entities. These types of certificates are commonly called end-entity certificates. Before a VPN tunnel with certificate based authentication can be set up, the firewall needs a certificate of its own and that of the remote firewall.

  • Page 53: Certificate Authorities

    Certificate Authorities This is a list of all CA certificates. To add a new Certificate Authority certificate, click Add new. The following pages will allow you to specify a name for the CA certificate and upload the certificate file. This certificate can be selected in the Certificates field on the VPN page. Note: If the uploaded certificate is a CA certificate, it will automatically be placed in the Certificate Authorities list, even if Add New was clicked in the Remote Peers list.

  • Page 54: Content Filtering

    Content Filtering DFL-200 HTTP content filtering may be configured to scan all HTTP protocol streams for URLs or for potentially dangerous Web page content. If a match is found between the requested URL and the URL Blacklist the DFL-200 will block the Web page. You can configure the URL Blacklist to block all or just some of the pages on a website.

  • Page 90: A More Secure Lan-To-Lan Vpn Solution

    A more secure LAN-to-LAN VPN solution In order to establish a more secure LAN-to-LAN VPN connection, traffic policies should be created instead of allowing all traffic between the two private Networks. The following steps show how to enable some common services allowed through the VPN tunnel. In this example we have a mail server, ftp server and a web server (intranet) in the main office that we want to access from the branch office.

    Appendix C: Multiple Public IP addresses Mapping of a Public IP address other than that of the Firewall to a Server located on either internal interface can be accomplished in two basic steps (order does not matter): add a Port Mapping/Virtual Server rule that forwards specified services to a single LAN or DMZ host to be accessible through a WAN IP not used by the DFL-200;...
  • Page 115 To accomplish this we need to create the following firewall settings: Configure two static routes (one for each public IP we wish to forward) Create two port mappings (one for each public IP mapping to each private Server) Routing configuration: Static Route Configuration for a Server on the LAN: Navigate to the SYSTEM tab, then the ROUTING page of the Web-based configuration.
  • Page 116 Static Route Configuration for a Server on the DMZ: Navigate to the SYSTEM tab, then the ROUTING page of the Web-based configuration. Select the Add New link to create the second static route. Select the Interface that the Internal Server is connected to (LAN or DMZ). Specify the Public IP to be forwarded in the Network field.
  • Page 117 Configure Port Mapping/Virtual Server Rules for LAN Server: Virtual Server Configuration for a Server on the LAN: Navigate to the FIREWALL tab, PORT MAPPING page of the Web-based configuration.

  • Page 119 Example Scenario using DMZ w/out NAT: An alternative method to that described in the preceding pages is to isolate publicly accessible servers to the DMZ interface with NAT disabled. This configuration requires multiple (at least 2) Public IP addresses to function, as the Firewall will assume one IP and the Server(s) will use the other(s).
  • Page 120 The default WAN route must be modified to enable Proxy ARP. The default route for any interface cannot be deleted or modified other than to enable the Proxy ARP feature. From the SYSTEM > ROUTING page select WAN to edit the default route of the WAN interface.
