Introduction

•

•

Flash memory for firmware upgrade.

The FVS124G VPN Firewall has two broadband WAN ports, WAN1 and WAN2, each capable of 
operating independently at speeds of either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps. The two WAN ports let you 
connect a second broadband Internet line that can be configured on a mutually-exclusive basis to:

•

Provide backup and rollover if one line is inoperable, ensuring you are never disconnected.

•

Load balance, or use both Internet lines simultaneously for the outgoing traffic. The firewall 
balances users between the two lines for maximum bandwidth efficiency.

See 

 for the planning factors to consider when implementing the 

following capabilities with dual WAN port gateways:

•

Inbound traffic (e.g., port forwarding, port triggering)

•

Virtual private networks

Unlike simple Internet sharing NAT routers, the FVS124G is a true firewall, using stateful packet 
inspection to defend against hacker attacks. Its firewall features include:

•

DoS protection.

Automatically detects and thwarts DoS attacks such as Ping of Death, SYN Flood, LAND 
Attack, and IP Spoofing.

•

Blocks unwanted traffic from the Internet to your LAN.

•

Blocks access from your LAN to Internet locations or services that you specify as off-limits.

•

Logs security incidents.

The FVS124G will log security events such as blocked incoming traffic, port scans, attacks, 
and administrator logins. You can configure the firewall to email the log to you at specified 
intervals. You can also configure the firewall to send immediate alert messages to your email 
address or email pager whenever a significant event occurs.
