Configuring the ANG-1000 with Aurorean Web Config

NOTE

If you press the reset button after you have configured your ANG-1000,

you will lose your entire configuration. Any settings you supplied must
then be re-entered. We strongly recommend that you do not use the reset
button unless you want the configuration to return to factory defaults.

Setting Up the Firewall

Firewall security is established on the ANG-1000’s Trusted interface by
default. But, you may choose to permit unencrypted traffic over External or
Trusted connections by disabling Web or Telnet access to them.

NOTE

Enabling any of the following options allows Web or Telnet traffic to run
in the clear over the ANG-1000. You can permit the transmission of

unencrypted traffic but the ANG-1000 will drop packets it receives outside
the tunnel. We recommend that you allow Web and Telnet access on the
LAN connection but disable these permissions on the Internet and VPN

Gateway connections.

WARNING

If you leave all three connections disabled, you will be UNABLE TO
CONFIGURE THE ANG-1000 without resetting the system.

Begin Firewall Setup by performing the following steps:

1

Click the Firewall Setup menu option.

The Firewall Setup window appears as shown in Figure 24.
