Introducing the ZyWALL
This chapter gives an overview of the ZyWALL. It explains the front panel ports, LEDs, introduces the management methods, and lists different ways to start or stop the ZyWALL.
1.1 Overview and Key Default Settings
The ZyWALL is an Internet Security Gateway designed for Small and Medium Businesses (SMB). Its flexible configuration helps network administrators set up the network and enforce security policies efficiently. In addition, the ZyWALL provides excellent throughput, making it an ideal solution for reliable, secure service.
The physical ports on the front panel of the ZyWALL are called “ge1”, “ge2”, “ge3”, and so on where “ge” stands for Gigabit Ethernet. By default “ge1” is mapped to port 1, “ge2” to port 2 and so on.
Also, by default “ge1” is the LAN interface, “ge2” and “ge3” are combined as the WAN_TRUNK. See Section 50.2 on page 652 for how to use the RESET button.
The Ethernet management interface can only be accessed from LAN side by default. The default management IP address is 192.168.1.1; the default login user name and password are “admin” and “1234” respectively.
To enable management access from the WAN, log into the web configurator, go to System > WWW, and change the default Deny to Accept in the rule in the Admin Service Control section.
You should configure the Network > Interface screens first to establish network connectivity before configuring security features such as firewall, VPN, content filtering, IDP and so on.
