Introducing the ZyWALL Web Configurator

This chapter shows you how to configure your firewall with the Web Configurator.

15.1 Web Configurator Login and Welcome Screens

Launch your web browser and enter 192.168.1.1 as the URL. This is the factory default IP address of the
ZyWALL when shipped. You will see the following Login screen.

Figure 15-1 Login screen as seen in Netscape

1. The default Username and Password is "admin" and "1234" respectively.

2. The Password is configurable, but the Username is not.

3. The Password is case sensitive.

4. The Web Configurator times out after five minutes of inactivity. The time out is not

configurable.

5. Please make sure that your web browser is Java and JavaScript enabled.

You can ONLY configure the firewall via ZyWALL Web Configurator or CLI command. You will not be
able to access the ZyWALL Web Configurator from the WAN if:
1. The firewall is activated, as the firewall by default, blocks all WAN to LAN traffic. To access the

ZyWALL Web Configurator from the WAN when the firewall is activated, you will need to create a
firewall rule (see the Example Firewall Rules chapter ahead) to allow web traffic initiated from the
WAN.

2. You have applied a filter in menu 3.1 (LAN) or in menu 11.5 (WAN) to block Web service.
3. You have an SMT console session running.

After a successful login, you will see the Welcome screen shown next.
