Introduction and Overview The DFL-600 Firewall/VPN Router creates two separate networks on the LAN side of your network − by default, a 192.168.0.0 subnet and a 192.168.1.0 subnet (both with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0). The DFL- 600 routes packets between these two subnets and the Internet (or the network connected to the DFL-600’s WAN port). An Internet Service Provider (ISP) or a network administrator provides the network address information on the WAN network. The 192.168.0.0 n

The DMZ port is used to allow computers and devices connected to this port to have more direct access to the Internet. This is useful for certain applications that may conflict with the firewall and Network Address Translation (NAT) features of the DFL-600. Computers and devices connected to the DMZ port will not have the level of protection that the LAN ports can provide, however. It is recommended that computers and devices connected to the DFL-600’s DMZ port have some type of firewal

address, subnet mask, default gateway address, and primary and (optional) secondary DNS addresses. This information will be provided by your ISP. Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) − this protocol requires the use of a Username and Password to gain access to the network. In addition, you can specify a Connect on Demand connection that will connect to the Internet only when a computer or device on your LAN makes a request, or when the DFL-600 is rebooted. If you do not kno

This menu allows you to select the type of connection your ISP provides. Many ISPs use the PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) for DSL connections, while many Cable ISPs use DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). DHCP assigns an IP address for your Internet connection each time you log on (and is therefore, a dynamic IP address). DHCP is referred to as Dynamic IP address on the DFL-600. The Setup Wizard will open a page with the appropriate fields for the entry of yo
