Remote Node Setup

This chapter shows you how to configure a remote node.

40.1 Introduction to Remote Node Setup

A remote node is required for placing calls to a remote gateway. A remote node represents both the remote gateway and the network behind it across a WAN connection. Note that when you use menu 4 to set up Internet access, you are actually configuring a remote node. The following describes how to configure Menu 11.x (where x is 1 or 2) - Remote Node Profile, Menu 11.x.2 - Remote Node Network Layer Options and Menu 11.x.4 - Remote Node Filter.

40.2 Remote Node Setup

From the main menu, select menu option 11 to open Menu 11 - Remote Node Setup (shown below).

On a ZyWALL with multiple WAN ports, enter 1 or 2 to open Menu 11.x - Remote Node Profile and configure the setup for your first or second WAN port. Enter 3 to open Menu 11.3 Remote Node Profile (Backup ISP) and configure the setup for your Dial Backup port connection (see Chapter 34 on page 510).

On a ZyWALL with a single WAN port, enter 1 to open Menu 11.1 - Remote Node Profile and configure the setup for your WAN port. Enter 2 to open Menu 11.2 Remote Node Profile (Backup ISP) and configure the setup for your Dial Backup port connection.
