Reference Manual for the ProSafe VPN Firewall FVS318v3

2.IKE Phase I.

a.The two parties negotiate the encryption and authentication algorithms to use in the IKE SAs.

b.The two parties authenticate each other using a predetermined mechanism, such as preshared keys or digital certificates.

c.A shared master key is generated by the Diffie-Hellman Public key algorithm within the IKE framework for the two parties. The master key is also used in the second phase to derive IPSec keys for the SAs.

3.IKE Phase II.

a.The two parties negotiate the encryption and authentication algorithms to use in the IPSec SAs.

b.The master key is used to derive the IPSec keys for the SAs. Once the SA keys are created and exchanged, the IPSec SAs are ready to protect user data between the two VPN gateways.

4.Data transfer. Data is transferred between IPSec peers based on the IPSec parameters and keys stored in the SA database.

5.IPSec tunnel termination. IPSec SAs terminate through deletion or by timing out.

VPNC IKE Security Parameters

Remember that both gateways must have the identical parameters set for the process to work correctly. The settings shown below follow the examples given for Scenario 1 of the VPN Consortium.

FVS318v3 specifications

The NETGEAR FVS318v3 is a powerful dual WAN gigabit VPN firewall designed to provide robust security and reliable connectivity for small to medium-sized businesses. It offers an array of features and technologies that make it an outstanding choice for organizations requiring secure network access and improved bandwidth management.

One of the standout features of the FVS318v3 is its dual WAN capability. This allows users to connect two separate internet connections, which enhances redundancy and ensures continuous network availability. In the event that one WAN connection fails, the device automatically switches to the backup connection, minimizing downtime and maintaining productivity.

The firewall offers advanced security features, including a stateful packet inspection (SPI) firewall and NAT (Network Address Translation), which helps protect the network from unauthorized access and external threats. Additionally, the FVS318v3 supports IPsec and SSL VPN protocols, providing secure remote access for employees working from home or on the go. With support for up to 15 SSL VPN clients and 20 IPsec VPN tunnels, it is suitable for businesses that require flexible and secure remote connectivity.

In terms of performance, the FVS318v3 boasts a high-speed gigabit throughput, ensuring fast data transmission and minimal latency. This is particularly important for businesses that rely on cloud-based applications, video conferencing, and other bandwidth-intensive activities. Furthermore, the device is equipped with advanced QoS (Quality of Service) features that allow administrators to prioritize traffic, ensuring that critical applications receive the bandwidth they need during peak usage times.

Another noteworthy characteristic of the NETGEAR FVS318v3 is its user-friendly interface, which simplifies network management and configuration. Administrators can easily set up policies, monitor traffic, and manage connected devices through an intuitive web-based interface. It also offers support for 802.1Q VLAN tagging, allowing for network segmentation and improved security management.

In conclusion, the NETGEAR FVS318v3 is a versatile and feature-rich solution that delivers exceptional security and reliability for businesses. Its dual WAN functionality, advanced VPN capabilities, high-speed performance, and ease of use make it an excellent choice for organizations looking to safeguard their networks while ensuring seamless connectivity for employees.
