Factory Default Settings

The security appliance is preconfigured with settings to allow you to start using the device with minimal changes. Depending on the requirements of your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and the needs of your business, you may need to modify some of these settings. You can use the Configuration Utility to customize all settings, as needed.

This section includes the following topics:

Default Settings of Key Features

The default settings of key features are described below. For a full list of all factory default settings, see Factory Default Settings, page 461.

IP Routing Mode: By default, only the IPv4 mode is enabled. To support IPv4 and IPv6 addressing, enable the IPv4/IPv6 mode. See Configuring IPv4 or IPv6 Routing, page116.

WAN Configuration: By default, the security appliance is configured to obtain an IP address from your ISP using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). Depending on the requirement of your ISP, configure the network addressing mode for the primary WAN. You can change other WAN settings as well. See Configuring WAN Settings for Your Internet Connection, page122.

LAN Configuration: By default, the LAN of the security appliance is configured in the 192.168.75.0 subnet and the LAN IP address is 192.168.75.1. The security appliance acts as a DHCP server to the hosts on the LAN network. It can automatically assign IP addresses and DNS server addresses to the PCs and other devices on the LAN. For most deployment scenarios, the default DHCP and TCP/IP settings should be satisfactory. However, you can change the subnet address or the default IP address. See Configuring a VLAN, page137.

VLAN Configuration: The security appliance predefines a native VLAN (DEFAULT) and a guest VLAN (GUEST). You can customize the predefined VLANs or create new VLANs for your specific business needs. See Configuring a VLAN, page137.
