Reference Manual for the ProSafe VPN Firewall 25 with 4 Gigabit LAN and Dual WAN Ports

Router and Network Management 8-7

202-10085-01, March 2005

– After a PC has finished using a Port Triggering application, there is a time-out period

before the application can be used by another PC. This is required because the firewall

cannot be sure when the application has terminated.

See “Port Triggering” on page 6-28 for the procedure on how to use this feature.

VPN Tunnels

The VPN firewall permits up to 200 VPN tunnels at a time. Each tunnel requires extensive

processing for encryption and authentication.

See Chapter 7, “Virtual Private Networking” for the procedure on how to use this feature.

Using QoS to Shift the Traffic Mix

The QoS priority settings determine the priority and, in turn, the quality of service for the traffic

passing through the firewall. The QoS is set individually for each service.

• You can accept the default priority defined by the service itself by observing its QoS setting.

• You can override its default setting to give the service higher or lower priority than it

otherwise would have.

You will not change the WAN bandwidth used by changing any QoS priority settings. But you will

change the mix of traffic through the WAN ports by granting some services a higher priority than

others. The quality of a service is impacted by its QoS setting, however.

See “Quality of Service (QoS) Priorities” on page 6-18 for the procedure on how to use this

feature.

Tools for Traffic Management

The FVS124G ProSafe VPN Firewall 25 with 4 Gigabit LAN and Dual WAN Ports includes

several tools that can be used to monitor the traffic conditions of the firewall and control who has

access to the Internet and the types of traffic they are allowed to have. See “Monitoring” on

page 8-14 for a discussion of the tools.
