Application Notes
Seamless Incorporation into your network
Using Transparent (Bridge Mode) Firewall
If user wants to insert a firewall into current network, IP setting of hosts and servers may need to change.
Following example illustrates an example of current deployment: servers and other hosts sit in the same IP
segment.
If a router mode firewall is inserted into existing network, user may need to reassign the IP of all servers
and hosts and related setting of applications. However, it may be a huge task to administrators.

ZyWALL 35 Support Notes

Deploying a transparent mode firewall doesn’t require any changes of settings on the original network
topology. It works as bridge/switch; therefore, all the hosts can communicate with each other as without
firewall in between. At the same time, the transparent firewall can check the packets passing through it
and block attacks and limit unauthorized access through access control right.
In the following section, we will explain how to configure ZyWALL as bridge firewall. Therefore, all
hosts and servers can keep using the same IP as that of current network.

ZyWALL 35 Support Notes

User can configure ZyWALL to act as a router mode firewall or bridge (transparent) firewall. The default
is router mode firewall.
Step1. Before changing ZyWALL to bridge mode, if admin wants to make the ZyWALL’s LAN PC be
able to get DHCP IP address assignment from the DHCP server or the gateway upper than the ZyWALL,
there is one firewall rule needs to be activated.
Go to Firewall >> Rule Summary; choose ‘WAN to LAN’ from ‘Packet Direction’. You will see a rule
to permit the service type, ‘BOOTP_CLIENT(UDP:68)’, to pass firewall. It’s INACTIVE by default.
Admin can activate the rule by clicking the ‘N’as following picture. Then the rule will be activated right
away.
Step2. To change the device mode, go to MAINTENANCE >> Device Mode. Select ‘Bridge’and

ZyWALL 35 Support Notes

assign a management IP for ZyWALL. The Gateway IPAddress is used as next-hop of default route.
ZyWALL will restart after applying the change.
(Note: Here we suggest admin to dedicate an IP address to ZyWALL itself at the same subnet as
original one (like 210.242.82.X/24 in this example). In this way, admin doesn’t need to change his
PC’s IPaddress when he wants to access Internet and ZyWALL’s web GUI at the same time.)

ZyWALL 35 Support Notes

Step3. After rebooting, login ZyWALL’s GUI by accessing ZyWALL’s management IP address.
(Accessing ZyWALL by the PC with a static IP address configured in the same subnet or with an IP from
DHCP server (refer to step1 for the pre-configured firewall rule).
Step4. In this example, since we want to apply a DMZ zone for servers. So for ZyWALL5/35 which the
ports of LAN & DMZ can be configured, user can decide the roles of each port.
Go to Network >> Bridge >> Port Roles. By default, 4 ports are assigned to LAN. In this example, we
use port 1 & 2 assigned to LAN and Port 3 & 4 assigned to DMZ as following picture.
Step5. Furthermore, to configure firewall rule to control the access of your network, go to SECURITY
>> FIREWALL as you do in router mode firewall. For example, user wants to block the access from a
FTP server (210.242.82.2) in DMZ zone to LAN hosts (210.242.82.31~34) (Note that they all sits in the
same IP segment 210.242.82.0/24). Edit the firewall rule via Firewall >> Rule Summary and with
packet direction: DMZ to LAN.
And enter 210.242.82.2 as the source address and 210.242.82.31~34 as destination address. And then
select the service and set the action for ‘Matched Packet’to ‘BLOCK’.

Step1. First of all, Select Home menu and click Internet Access Wizard to configure your WAN1
connection. Click “Internet Access” under Home >> Wizards for WAN 1 Quick Setup

A pop-up window as below will indicate you to enter ISP Parameters for Internet Access .
There are three kinds of encapsulation which are supported by ZyWALL: Ethernet, PPPoE & PPTP.
Select the correct encapsulation type from the drop-down menu. The wizards will requests related
information needed. These fields vary depending on what you select in the Encapsulation field. Fill them
in with the information exactly as given by the ISP or network administrator.
Following picture is an example while PPPoE is selected.

Once the required information is correctly configured, click on the “Finish” button to apply the setting
and then you have finished configuring Internet Access on WAN1 link. To configure the WAN2 link for
backup or load balance, go to Network >> WAN for advanced configuration.
DHCP server/client/relay + flexible port role configuration
ZyWALL supports
(1) DHCP client on the WAN port
User can choose either a static IP or a dynamic IP address for WAN port. When choosing dynamic IP,
ZyWALL will get a DHCP IP address from ISP or upper layer DHCP server.
(2) DHCP server/relay/none on the LAN/DMZ/WLAN ports
Since ZyWALL v4.0, ZyWALL not only supports DHCP server for LAN ports, but also for DMZ
and WLAN ports. Besides, since v4.0, ZyWALL also support flexible port role setting. With these
2 features, admin can take advantage and easily connect servers / clients into a ZyWALL-ready
environment. Following are the description about two features.

1. Each interface own an independent subnet. For example, LAN is 1.1.1.x/24, DMZ is
2.2.2.x/24, and WLAN is 3.3.3.x/24.
2. When choosing DHCP setting as ‘None’, the LAN/DMZ/WLAN will NOT assign IP address
to the associated hosts. Client PCs need to configure IP address manually.
3. When choosing DHCP setting as a ‘Server’, the LAN/DMZ/WLAN will automatically assign
IP, subnet, gateway and DNS to the associated clients.
4. When choosing DHCP setting as a ‘Relay’, the LAN/DMZ/WLAN will forward the DHCP
request to another DHCP server.
5. There are 4 ports could be flexibly assigned to be LAN or DMZ or WLAN port. To assign a
port to WLAN, user needs to insert a proper wireless card (ex. ZyAIR G-100) and enable wireless
from GUI >> network >> Wireless Card. After assigning a port to WLAN, the hosts connected
to the port will be in the same subnet as other wireless clients which associate to the ZyWALL.
Generally speaking, it’s especially for troubleshooting or user wants to dedicate a server for
wireless network use only.
Following is an example to configure LAN as a DHCP relay, DMZ as a DHCP server, and WLAN as a DHCP
server. In this example, since network admin would like to central manage IP address of all LAN hosts. There is
a DHCP server (IP: 10.10.1.1) to handle all DHCP request from LAN hosts. So ZyWALL will be configured as
a relay role to pass DHCP request from LAN to the DHCP server. For DMZ, and WLAN, network admin
would like to configure them as independent subnet.
