VSG-1200 User’s Guide H A P T E R Getting to Know Your VSG This chapter introduces the features and applications of the VSG. 1.1 Introducing the VSG The VSG (Vantage Service Gateway) is a rack-mountable Internet Service Gateway that provides multiple subscribers easy Internet connectivity.
Page 30: Reset Button
VSG-1200 User’s Guide SSL Secure Login With Secure Socket Layer (SSL) security activated upon login, data exchanged between the VSG and client computers is encrypted and protected. PPPoE Support (RFC2516) PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) emulates a dial-up connection. It allows your ISP to use their existing network configuration with newer broadband technologies such as ADSL.
Page 31: Dhcp Support
VSG-1200 User’s Guide DHCP Support DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows the individual computers (DHCP clients) to obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a centralized DHCP server. The VSG has built-in DHCP server capability. It can assign IP addresses, an IP default gateway and DNS servers to DHCP clients.
Page 32: System Maintenance
VSG-1200 User’s Guide NAT (Network Address Translation) NAT (RFC 1631) is the translation of the IP address of a host in a packet, for example, the source address of an outgoing packet, used within one network to a different IP address known within another network.
Page 33: Applications
VSG-1200 User’s Guide 1.3 Applications The following sections describe network application examples in which the VSG is used. 1.3.1 Internet Access for LAN Networks With a broadband service account set up, the VSG allows the attached computers to enjoy high speed Internet access.

Page 54: Ip Address And Subnet Mask
VSG-1200 User’s Guide 4.4.1 IP Address and Subnet Mask Like houses on a street that share a common street name, the computers on a LAN share one common network number. Where you obtain your network number depends on your particular situation. If the ISP or your network administrator assigns you a block of registered IP addresses, follow their instructions in selecting the IP addresses and the subnet mask.
Page 55: Dns Server Address
VSG-1200 User’s Guide 4.5 DNS Server Address DNS (Domain Name System) is for mapping a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice versa, for example, the IP address of www.zyxel.com is 204.217.0.2. The DNS server is extremely important because without it, you must know the IP address of a machine before you can access it.
Page 56: Wan Configuration
VSG-1200 User’s Guide Note: You must restart the VSG if you change the IP address. If you set the VSG as a DHCP server on the LAN, the VSG will automatically change the LAN DHCP settings based on the new LAN IP address.
Page 57: Mtu
VSG-1200 User’s Guide 4.7.2 MTU A maximum transmission unit (MTU) is the largest size packet or frame, specified in octets (eight-bit bytes) that can be sent in a packet- or frame-based network. The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) uses the MTU to determine the maximum size of each packet in any transmission.

Page 65: Chapter 5 Nat Pool
VSG-1200 User’s Guide H A P T E R NAT Pool This chapter shows how to configure Network Address Translation (NAT) on the WAN for VPN packets. 5.1 NAT Introduction NAT (Network Address Translation - NAT, RFC 1631) is the translation of the IP address of a host in a packet, for example, the source address of an outgoing packet, used within one network to a different IP address known within another network.
Page 66: What Nat Does
VSG-1200 User’s Guide 5.1.2 What NAT Does In the simplest form, NAT changes the source IP address in a packet received from a subscriber (the inside local address) to another (the inside global address) before forwarding the packet to the WAN side. When the response comes back, NAT translates the destination address (the inside global address) back to the inside local address before forwarding it to the original inside host.
Page 67: Nat Examples
VSG-1200 User’s Guide In order to allow subscribers to establish multiple VPN connections to a remote VPN device with single-connection-per-source limitation, set the VSG to perform NAT on the WAN. You need to configure the NAT address pool for use with VPN connections on the WAN port. The VSG automatically maps one/more private IP addresses to one/more public IP addresses for VPN packets.
Page 68: Example 2: Many-To-One
VSG-1200 User’s Guide 5.3.2 Example 2: Many-to-One The figure below shows an example where the two subscribers S1 and S2 try to establish a secure VPN connection to VPN servers V1 and V2 respectively at the same time. In this case, the VSG performs Many-to-One IP address translation on the WAN since the destination address is different.
Page 69: Configuring Nat Pool
VSG-1200 User’s Guide Table 15 NAT Example: One-to-One and Many-to-One SUBSCRIBER ORIGINAL SOURCE IP TRANSLATED SOURCE IP 10.59.1.2 211.21.21.2 10.59.1.3 211.21.21.2 10.59.1.4 211.21.21.3 5.4 Configuring NAT Pool Note: You only need to set the NAT address pool if the remote VPN server(s) allows only one connection per source IP address.
Page 70: Table 16 System Setting: Nat Pool
VSG-1200 User’s Guide Table 16 System Setting: NAT Pool LABEL DESCRIPTION Disable Select this option to deactivate this feature. Subscribers are not be able to establish multiple connections simultaneously to the same VPN server (that has the single- connection-per-source limitation).

VSG-1200 User’s Guide Example: Four Subnets The above example illustrated using a 25-bit subnet mask to divide a class “C” address space into two subnets. Similarly to divide a class “C” address into four subnets, you need to “borrow” two host ID bits to give four possible combinations of 00, 01, 10 and 11. The subnet mask is 26 bits (11111111.11111111.11111111.11000000) or 255.255.255.192.
