ProSafe Gigabit Quad WAN SSL VPN Firewall SRX5308
Test the Path from Your PC to a Remote Device
After verifying that the LAN path works correctly, test the path from your PC to a remote
device. From the Windows run menu, type:
ping -n 10 <IP address>
where <IP address> is the IP address of a remote device such as your ISP’s DNS server.
If the path is functioning correctly, replies as in the previous section are displayed. If you do
not receive replies:
Check that your PC has the IP address of your VPN firewall listed as the default gateway.
If the IP configuration of your PC is assigned by DHCP, this information is not visible in
your PC’s Network Control Panel.
Check to see that the network address of your PC (the portion of the IP address that is
specified by the netmask) is different from the network address of the remote device.
Check that the modem or router is connected and functioning.
If your ISP assigned a host name, system name, or account name to your PC, enter that
name in the Account Name field on the WAN ISP Settings screen for the WAN interface
that you are troubleshooting. You might also have to enter the assigned domain name or
workgroup name in the Domain Name field, and you might have to enter additional
information (see Manually Configure the Internet Connection on page 28).
Your ISP could be rejecting the Ethernet MAC addresses of all but one of your PCs. Many
broadband ISPs restrict access by allowing traffic only from the MAC address of your
broadband modem, but some ISPs additionally restrict access to the MAC address of a
single PC connected to that modem. If this is the case, you need to configure your VPN
firewall to clone or spoof the MAC address from the authorized PC. You can do this in the
Routers MAC Address section of the WAN Advanced Options screen for the WAN
interface that you are troubleshooting (see Configure Advanced WAN Options on
page 51).
Restore the Default Configuration and Password
To reset the VPN firewall to the original factory default settings, you can use one of the
following two methods:
Push the reset button on the rear panel of the VPN firewall (see Rear Panel on page 16)
and hold the reset button for about 8 seconds until the Test LED turns on and begins to
blink (about 30 seconds). To restore the factory default configuration settings when you
do not know the administration password or IP address, you need to use the reset button
method.
On the Settings Backup and Firmware Upgrade screen, next to Revert to factory default
settings, click the Default button:
a. To display the Settings Backup and Firmware Upgrade screen, select
Administration > Settings Backup and Firmware Upgrade (see the following
figure).
b. Click the Default button.
