Fast Internet Access
Introduction
Perform this task to fast configure the device to access the Internet.
Access mode
Access modes include the routing mode and the transparent mode.
Routing mode
This mode uses the routing function of the device gateway. In this mode, three Internet access methods are supported. Select a method according to the information provided by the service provider.
1. Configure the WAN interface.
The WAN interface supports the following access methods, as shown in Table 1.
|
Item |
Description |
|
Specified IP address |
Select this method when you get a fixed IP address from the service provider. |
|
DHCP |
Select this method if you want to automatically obtain IP addresses from the service provider (or DHCP server). |
|
PPPoE |
Select this method if you obtain an Internet access account from the service provider. |
¡ When you select Specified IP address for the Internet access method, Table 2 describes the WAN interface configuration items.
Table 2 WAN interface configuration items when Specified IP address is selected
|
Item |
Description |
|
Interface |
Select the WAN interface. |
|
IP address/subnet mask |
IP address and subnet mask of the WAN interface. This parameter is provided by the service provider. The IP address is in dotted decimal notation, for example, 10.1.1.1. The subnet mask is in the range of 1 to 31. |
|
Default gateway |
IP address of the default gateway of the WAN interface. Packets that users in the internal network send to access the Internet are sent to the default gateway through the WAN interface. Then, the default gateway forwards the packets. This parameter is provided by the service provider and is in dotted decimal notation, for example, 10.1.1.254. |
|
Primary DNS server |
IP address of the primary DNS server. For more information about DNS, see DNS Help. This parameter is provided by the service provider. |
|
Secondary DNS server |
IP address of the secondary DNS server. When the primary DNS server fails, the device uses the secondary DNS server for name resolution. This parameter is provided by the service provider. |
¡ When you select DHCP for the Internet access method, Table 3 describes the WAN interface configuration items.
Table 3 WAN interface configuration items when DHCP is selected
|
Item |
Description |
|
Interface |
Select the WAN interface. |
¡ When you select PPPoE for the Internet access method, Table 4 describes the WAN interface configuration items.
Table 4 WAN interface configuration items when PPPoE is selected
|
Item |
Description |
|
Interface |
Select the WAN interface. |
|
Username |
Username of the Internet access account, which is provided by the service provider. |
|
Password |
Password of the Internet access account, which is provided by the service provider. |
|
Online mode |
· Permanently online—The PPPoE session permanently exists after it is established. · Auto offline after idle timeout—The device automatically disconnects the PPPoE session if no traffic passes within the specified period. As a best practice, select this mode for time-based accounting users. |
|
Automatically obtain IP address |
The Internet access interface automatically obtains an IP address from the service provider. |
|
Use specified IP address |
Manually configure an IP address for the Internet access interface. |
|
IP address/subnet mask |
This parameter is provided by the service provider. The IP address is in dotted decimal notation, for example, 10.1.1.1. The subnet mask is in the range of 1 to 31. |
2. Configure the LAN interface.
Table 5 describes the LAN interface configuration items.
Table 5 LAN interface configuration items
|
Item |
Description |
|
Interface |
Select the interface for connecting to the LAN. |
|
IP address/subnet mask |
Specify the IP address and subnet mask for the LAN interface. The IP address is in dotted decimal notation, for example, 172.16.1.1. The subnet mask is in the range of 1 to 31. |
|
DHCP |
With DHCP enabled, users in the LAN can automatically obtain IP addresses. For more information about DHCP, see DHCP Help. |
|
Address pool name |
DHCP address pool name |
|
Address range for allocation |
Address range allocated to DHCP clients. |
3. Configure the DMZ interface.
Table 6 describes the DMZ interface configuration items.
Table 6 DMZ interface configuration items
|
Parameter |
Description |
|
Interface |
Select the interface for connecting to the DMZ zone. Typically, the DMZ zone is used for placing the devices providing external services, for example, the servers. |
|
IP address/subnet mask |
Specify the IP address and subnet mask for the DMZ interface. The IP address is in dotted decimal notation, for example, 172.16.1.1. The subnet mask is in the range of 1 to 31. |
4. Configure security.
The IPS feature protects the enterprises' information systems and networks against attacks.
The IPS feature needs a license. To use this feature, purchase and correctly install the license.
Support for this feature depends on the device model.
5. Configure WAN acceleration.
This feature ensures the transmission of enterprises' critical data when the bandwidth is limited.
Support for this feature depends on the device model.
6. Configure flow control.
This feature limits the expected bandwidth of each WAN interface and the maximum bandwidth and guaranteed bandwidth of each application.
Set the expected bandwidth for WAN interfaces according to the bandwidth allocated by the service provider.
Support for this feature depends on the device model.
7. Configure the cloud manager server connection.
The cloud manager server is a platform for managing security devices. It supports fast deployment of security device configurations, differentiated deployment of security capabilities, modification of device configurations, and visualization of device status.
Configure the domain name of the cloud manager server for the device to connect to the cloud manager server.
Support for this feature depends on the device model.
Transparent mode
This mode does not change the current network structure. The interfaces configured as WAN interface, LAN interface, and DMZ interface become Layer 2 interfaces. Table 7 describes the transparent mode configuration items.
