Configuring the MUVPN Client
Using MUVPN on a Firebox X Edge e-Series Wireless Network
You must protect your wireless network from unauthorized access because the signal can go out of your
building. If you do not protect your network, unauthorized users can break into your network or make
use of your Internet connection.
Some wireless network cards cannot use the stronger Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) encryption and
instead use weaker Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) to secure the data that goes through the airwaves.
You can increase the security of your wireless network when you make the wireless computer users
authenticate as MUVPN clients. This makes the Firebox® X Edge e-Series restrict traffic through the fire-
wall unless the wireless computer has connected using an MUVPN tunnel.
To make sure wireless computers authenticate as MUVPN clients:
1 To connect to the System Status page, type https:// in the browser address bar, and the IP
address of the Firebox X Edge trusted interface.
The default URL is: https://192.168.111.1.
2 From the navigation bar, select Network > Wireless.
3 Select the check box Require encrypted MUVPN connections for wireless clients.
4 Click Submit.
Now you must decide which networks the wireless computers can connect with. When the wireless
computers must authenticate as MUVPN clients, you can allow the computers to connect to:
Trusted network only
The wireless MUVPN client cannot connect to the Internet, the computers on the optional network,
or any other network that the Firebox X Edge has a connection to.
All networks
This is the usual configuration for wireless MUVPN clients. The wireless MUVPN client can connect
to:
- The trusted network
- The optional network
- Networks behind static routes
- Networks on the other side of a Branch Office VPN
- The external network (usually the Internet)
You can configure some Firebox X Edge users to connect only to the trusted network, and other Edge
users to connect to all networks:
1 To allow a Firebox X Edge user to connect only to the trusted network, clear or do not select the
check box All traffic uses tunnel (0.0.0.0/0 IP Subnet) in the user’s MUVPN setup.
2 To allow a Firebox X Edge user to connect to all networks through the VPN tunnel, select the check
box All traffic uses tunnel (0.0.0.0/0 IP Subnet) in the user’s MUVPN setup.
