Netgear FVS318N – Prosafe Wireless N VPN Firewall Manual De Referencia

Specifying an exposed host allows you to set up a computer or server that is available to 
anyone on the Internet for services that you have not yet defined. For an example of how to 
set up an exposed host, see 

The wireless VPN firewall supports site-to-site IPSec VPN tunnels, dedicated SSL VPN 
tunnels, and L2TP tunnels. Each tunnel requires extensive processing for encryption and 
authentication, thereby increasing traffic through the WAN ports.

. For information about SSL VPN tunnels,

By setting the QoS priority and assigning bandwidth profiles to firewall rules, you can shift the 
traffic mix to aim for optimum performance of the wireless VPN firewall.

The QoS priority settings determine the Quality of Service for the traffic passing through the 
wireless VPN firewall. You can assign a QoS priority to LAN WAN and DMZ WAN outbound 
firewall rules. The QoS is set individually for each firewall rule. You can change the mix of 
traffic through the WAN ports by granting some services a higher priority than others:

You can accept the default priority defined by the service itself by not changing its QoS 
priority.

You can change the priority to a higher or lower value than its default setting to give the 
service higher or lower priority than it otherwise would have.

178. 

When you set the QoS priority, the WAN bandwidth does not change. You change the WAN 
bandwidth that is assigned to a service or application by applying a bandwidth profile to a 
LAN WAN inbound or outbound rule. The purpose of bandwidth profiles is to provide a 
method for allocating and limiting traffic, thus allocating LAN users sufficient bandwidth while 
preventing them from consuming all the bandwidth on your WAN links.
