Dynamic and Static Routing

8On the General Networking tab, click Submit.

The route name appears in the Static Routes list.

To test a static route

1From the Firebox SSL VPN Gateway serial console, type 1 (ping).

2Enter the host IP address for the device you want to ping and press Enter.

If you are successfully communicating with the other device, messages appear saying that the same number of packets were transmitted and received, and zero packets were lost.

If you are not communicating with the other device, the status messages indicate that zero packets were received and all the packets were lost. Return to Step 1 and recreate the static route.

To remove a static route

1Click the VPN Gateway Cluster tab and then click the Routes tab.

2 In the Static Route table, select each route that you want to delete. 3 Click Remove Route.

Static Route Example

Suppose the IP address of the eth0 port on your Firebox SSL VPN Gateway is 10.0.16.20 and there is a request to access information at 129.6.0.20 to which you currently do not have a path. You can create a static route through the network adapter that is not set as your Firebox SSL VPN Gateway default gate- way, and out to the requested network address, as shown in the following figure:

Network topology showing a static route.

This shows these connections:

•The eth0 adapter (10.0.16.20) leads to the default gateway (10.0.16.1), which connects to the rest of the 10.0.0.0 network.

•The eth1 adapter (192.168.0.20) is set to communicate with the 192.168.0.0 network and its gateway (192.168.0.1). Through this gateway, the eth1 port can communicate with the 129.6.0.0 network and the server at IP address 129.6.0.20.

SSL VPN specifications

WatchGuard Technologies offers a robust SSL VPN solution designed for secure remote access to corporate networks. As businesses increasingly rely on a remote workforce, the need for secure and reliable connectivity has never been more critical. WatchGuard's SSL VPN features advanced security technologies that ensure data integrity and confidentiality while enabling seamless access to applications and resources.

One of the standout features of WatchGuard's SSL VPN is its user-friendly interface.

With a straightforward setup process, users can quickly establish secure connections from various devices, including laptops, smartphones, and tablets. This flexibility supports a diverse workforce, allowing employees to work from different locations without compromising security.

In addition to its ease of use, WatchGuard's SSL VPN is built on robust security technologies. It employs end-to-end encryption to safeguard data in transit, ensuring that only authorized users can access sensitive information. By utilizing SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protocols, the VPN creates a secure tunnel between the user’s device and the corporate network, protecting against potential threats such as eavesdropping or man-in-the-middle attacks.

Moreover, WatchGuard Technologies includes multiple authentication options, adding another layer of security. The solution supports multi-factor authentication (MFA), requiring users to provide additional verification beyond just a password. This could involve mobile device verification or biometric authentication, significantly reducing the risk of unauthorized access.

Another key characteristic of WatchGuard’s SSL VPN is its integration with other WatchGuard security solutions. Businesses can benefit from a comprehensive security posture by leveraging firewalls and intrusion prevention systems along with the SSL VPN. This holistic approach ensures that remote connections are continually monitored and secured against evolving cyber threats.

Scalability is also a crucial aspect of WatchGuard's SSL VPN, accommodating growing organizations with changing needs. The solution can easily scale to support an increasing number of remote users without compromising performance. With robust performance metrics, businesses can ensure that even during peak usage times, the VPN remains responsive and reliable.

In summary, WatchGuard Technologies' SSL VPN solution combines ease of use, robust security, flexible authentication, and scalability. These features make it an ideal choice for organizations seeking to provide secure remote access to their employees while maintaining a strong defense against cyber threats. With WatchGuard, businesses can confidently navigate the challenges of a digital landscape, ensuring their network remains secure as they embrace remote work.
