Internet and WAN Configuration Tasks

Note: For information about configuring the DSL interface of the UTM9S

and UTM25S, see Appendix A, xDSL Network Module for the

UTM9S and UTM25S. The information in this chapter also applies to the WAN interfaces of the UTM9S and UTM25S.

Generally, five steps, three of which are optional, are required to complete the WAN Internet connection of your UTM.

Complete these steps:

1.Configure the Internet connections to your ISPs. During this phase, you connect to your ISPs. See Automatically Detecting and Connecting the Internet Connections on page 71 or Manually Configure the Internet Connection on page 75.

2.Configure the WAN mode (required for multiple WAN port models). For all models, select either NAT or classical routing. For the multiple WAN port models, select dedicated (single WAN) mode, auto-rollover mode, or load balancing mode. For load balancing, you can also select any necessary protocol bindings. See Configure the WAN Mode on page 80.

3.Configure secondary WAN addresses on the WAN ports (optional). Configure aliases for each WAN port. See Configure Secondary WAN Addresses on page 89.

4.Configure Dynamic DNS on the WAN ports (optional). Configure your fully qualified domain names during this phase (if necessary). See Configure Dynamic DNS on page 91.

5.Configure the WAN options (optional). Optionally, you can enable each WAN port to respond to a ping, and you can change the factory default MTU size and port speed. However, these are advanced features, and changing them is not usually required. See Set the UTM’s MAC Address and Configure Advanced WAN Options on page 94.

Each of these tasks is detailed separately in this chapter.

Note: For information about how to configure the WAN meters, see Enable

the WAN Traffic Meter on page 462.

Automatically Detecting and Connecting the Internet Connections

To set up your UTM for secure Internet connections, the web management interface provides the option to detect the network connections and configure the WAN port or ports automatically. You can also configure the Internet connections and ports manually (see Manually Configure the Internet Connection on page 75).
