NETGEAR UTM5-100NAS, UTM50-100NAS manual Manually Configuring Internet and WAN Settings

Chapter 3 Manually Configuring Internet and WAN Settings

Note: The initial Internet configuration of the UTM is described in Chapter 2, “Using the Setup Wizard to Provision the UTM in Your Network.” If you used the Setup Wizard to configure your Internet settings, you need this chapter only to configure WAN features such as Dual WAN and Dynamic DNS, and to configure secondary WAN addresses and advanced WAN options.

This chapter contains the following sections:

•“Understanding the Internet and WAN Configuration Tasks” on this page.

•“Configuring the Internet Connections” on page 3-2.

•“Configuring the WAN Mode (Required for Dual-WAN Port Models Only)” on page 3-9.

•“Configuring Secondary WAN Addresses” on page 3-17.

•“Configuring Dynamic DNS” on page 3-19.

•“Configuring Advanced WAN Options” on page 3-22.

Understanding the Internet and WAN Configuration Tasks

Generally, five steps are required to complete the Internet connection of your UTM:

1.Configure the Internet connections to your ISP(s). During this phase, you connect to your ISPs. You can also program the WAN traffic meters at this time if desired. See “Configuring the Internet Connections” on page 3-2.

2.Configure the WAN mode (required for operation of the dual-WAN port models). For all models, select either NAT or classical routing. For the dual-WAN port models only, select either dedicated (single WAN) mode, auto-rollover mode, or load balancing mode. For load balancing, you can also select any necessary protocol bindings. See “Configuring the WAN Mode (Required for Dual-WAN Port Models Only)” on page 3-9.

3.Configure secondary WAN addresses on the WAN ports (optional). Configure aliases for each WAN port. See “Configuring Secondary WAN Addresses” on page 3-17.
