Reference Manual for the ProSafe VPN Firewall FVS114

8-6 Advanced Configuration

202-10098-01, April 2005

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.
