ProSecure Unified Threat Management (UTM) Appliance Reference Manual

•Protocol binding

–For auto-rollover mode, protocol binding does not apply.

–For load balancing mode, decide which protocols should be bound to a specific WAN port.

–You can also add your own service protocols to the list.

2.Set up your accounts

a.Obtain active Internet services such as cable or DSL broadband accounts and locate the Internet service provider (ISP) configuration information.

•In this manual, the WAN side of the network is presumed to be provisioned as shown in Figure B-1, with two ISPs connected to the UTM through separate physical facilities.

•Each WAN port must be configured separately, whether you are using a separate ISP for each WAN port or you are using the same ISP to route the traffic of both WAN ports.

•If your ISP charges by the volume of data traffic each month, consider enabling the UTM’s traffic meter to monitor or limit your traffic.

b.Contact a Dynamic DNS service and register FQDNs for one or both WAN ports.

3.Plan your network management approach

• The UTM is capable of being managed remotely, but this feature must be enabled locally after each factory default reset.

NETGEAR strongly advises you to change the default management password to a strong password before enabling remote management.
