ProSAFE Dual WAN Gigabit WAN SSL VPN Firewall FVS336Gv3
For most applications, the default DHCP server and TCP/IP settings of the VPN firewall are
satisfactory.
The VPN firewall delivers the following settings to any LAN device that requests DHCP:
An IP address from the range that you define
Subnet mask
Gateway IP address (the VPN firewall’s LAN IP address)
Primary DNS server (the VPN firewall’s LAN IP address)
WINS server (if you configure a WINS server for the DHCP server)
Lease time (the date obtained and the duration of the lease)
DHCP Relay
DHCP relay options allow you to make the VPN firewall a DHCP relay agent for a VLAN. The
DHCP relay agent makes it possible for DHCP broadcast messages to be sent over routers
that do not support forwarding of these types of messages. The DHCP relay agent is
therefore the routing protocol that enables DHCP clients to obtain IP addresses from a DHCP
server on a remote subnet. If you do not configure a DHCP relay agent for a VLAN, its clients
can obtain IP addresses only from a DHCP server that is on the same subnet. To enable
clients to obtain IP addresses from a DHCP server on a remote subnet, you must configure
the DHCP relay agent on the subnet that contains the remote clients so that the DHCP relay
agent can relay DHCP broadcast messages to your DHCP server.
DNS Proxy
When the DNS proxy option is enabled for a VLAN, the VPN firewall acts as a proxy for all
DNS requests and communicates with the ISP’s DNS servers. These are the DNS servers
that the VPN firewall detected during the automatic configuration of the IPv4 Internet
connection or that you configured manually for the WAN interfaces (see
Configure the IPv4
Internet Connection and WAN Settings on page 30).
All DHCP clients receive the primary and secondary DNS IP addresses along with the IP
address where the DNS proxy is located (that is, the VPN firewall’s LAN IP address). When
the DNS proxy option is disabled for a VLAN, all DHCP clients receive the DNS IP addresses
of the ISP but without the DNS proxy IP address.
LDAP Servers
A Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server allows a user to query and modify
directory services that run over TCP/IP. For example, clients can query email addresses,
contact information, and other service information using an LDAP server. For each VLAN,
you can specify an LDAP server and a search base that defines the location in the directory
(that is, the directory tree) from which the LDAP search begins.
