Reference Manual for the Model FVM318 Cable/DSL ProSafe Wireless VPN Security Firewall
Introduction
1-3
 
The firewall incorporates Auto Uplink
TM
 technology. Each LOCAL Ethernet port will 
automatically sense whether the Ethernet cable plugged into the port should have a ‘normal’ 
connection such as to a PC or an ‘uplink’ connection such as to a switch or hub. That port will then 
configure itself to the correct configuration. This feature also eliminates the need to worry about 
crossover cables, as Auto Uplink will accommodate either type of cable to make the right 
connection.
Extensive Protocol Support
The FVM318 supports the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and Routing 
Information Protocol (RIP). 
provides further information on TCP/IP.
IP Address Sharing by NAT
The FVM318 allows several networked PCs to share an Internet account using only a single IP 
address, which may be statically or dynamically assigned by your Internet service provider 
(ISP). This technique, known as Network Address Translation (NAT), allows the use of an 
inexpensive single-user ISP account.
Automatic Configuration of Attached PCs by DHCP
The FVM318 dynamically assigns network configuration information, including IP, gateway, 
and domain name server (DNS) addresses, to attached PCs on the LAN using the Dynamic 
Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This feature greatly simplifies configuration of PCs on 
your local network. See 
 
for instructions on configuring your computers for DHCP.
DNS Proxy
When DHCP is enabled and no DNS addresses are specified, the firewall provides its own 
address as a DNS server to the attached PCs. The firewall obtains actual DNS addresses from 
the ISP during connection setup and forwards DNS requests from the LAN.
Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE)
PPPoE connects computers to the Internet over a DSL connection by simulating a dial-up 
connection. This feature eliminates the need to run a login program such as EnterNet
®
 or 
WinPOET
®
 on your PC.
PPTP login support for European ISPs, and BigPond login for Telstra cable in Australia.
