Preface

Intended Audience

The target audience for this reference guide is Administrators who are responsible for configuring

and managing NetDefend Firewalls which are running the NetDefendOS operating system. This

guide assumes that the reader has some basic knowledge of networks and network security.

Text Structure and Conventions

The text is broken down into chapters and sub-sections. Numbered sub-sections are shown in the

table of contents at the beginning. An index is included at the end of the document to aid with

alphabetical lookup of subjects.

Where a "See chapter/section" link (such as: see Chapter 9, VPN) is provided in the main text, this

can be clicked to take the reader directly to that reference.

Text that may appear in the user interface of the product is designated by being in bold case. Where

a term is being introduced for the first time or being stressed it may appear in italics.

Where console interaction is shown in the main text outside of an example, it will appear in a box

with a gray background.

Where a web address reference is shown in the text, clicking it will open the specified URL in a

browser in a new window (some systems may not allow this).

For example, http://www.dlink.com.

Screenshots

This guide contains a minimum of screenshots. This is deliberate and is done because the manual

deals specifically with NetDefendOS and administrators have a choice of management user

interfaces. It was decided that the manual would be less cluttered and easier to read if it concentrated

on describing how NetDefendOS functions rather than including large numbers of screenshots

showing how the various interfaces are used. Examples are given but these are largely textual

descriptions of management interface usage.

Examples

Examples in the text are denoted by the header Example and appear with a gray background as

shown below. They contain a CLI example and/or a Web Interface example as appropriate. (The

NetDefendOS CLI Reference Guide documents all CLI commands.)

Example 1. Example Notation

Information about what the example is trying to achieve is found here, sometimes with an explanatory image.

Command-Line Interface

The Command Line Interface example would appear here. It would start with the command prompt followed by

the command:

gw-world:/> somecommand someparameter=somevalue

Web Interface

15

The Web Interface actions for the example are shown here. They are also typically a numbered list showing what

items in the tree-view list at the left of the interface or in the menu bar or in a context menu need to be opened

followed by information about the data items that need to be entered:

1. Go to: Item X > Item Y > Item Z

2. Now enter:

• DataItem1: datavalue1

• DataItem2: datavalue2

Chapter 1. NetDefendOS Overview

This chapter outlines the key features of NetDefendOS.

• Features, page 17

• NetDefendOS Architecture, page 20

• NetDefendOS State Engine Packet Flow, page 24

1.1. Features

D-Link NetDefendOS is the base software engine that drives and controls the range of NetDefend

Firewall hardware products.

NetDefendOS as a Network Security Operating System

Designed as a network security operating system, NetDefendOS features high throughput

performance with high reliability plus super-granular control. In contrast to products built on top of

standard operating systems such as Unix or Microsoft Windows, NetDefendOS offers seamless

integration of all its subsystems, in-depth administrative control of all functionality, as well as a

minimal attack surface which helps to negate the risk from security attacks.

NetDefendOS Objects

From the administrator's perspective the conceptual approach of NetDefendOS is to visualize

operations through a set of logical building blocks or objects. These objects allow the configuration

of NetDefendOS in an almost limitless number of different ways. This granular control allows the

administrator to meet the requirements of the most demanding network security scenarios.

Key Features

NetDefendOS has an extensive feature set. The list below presents the key features of the product:

IP Routing

NetDefendOS provides a variety of options for IP routing

including static routing, dynamic routing, as well as multicast

routing capabilities. In addition, NetDefendOS supports

features such as Virtual LANs, Route Monitoring, Proxy ARP

and Transparency. For more information, please see

Chapter 4, Routing.

Firewalling Policies

NetDefendOS provides stateful inspection-based firewalling

for a wide range of protocols such as TCP, UDP and ICMP.

The administrator can define detailed firewalling policies

based on source/destination network/interface, protocol,

ports, user credentials, time-of-day and more. Section 3.6, “IP

Rules”, describes how to set up these policies to determine

what traffic is allowed or rejected by NetDefendOS.

Address Translation

For functionality as well as security reasons, NetDefendOS

supports policy-based address translation. Dynamic Address

Translation (NAT) as well as Static Address Translation

(SAT) is supported, and resolves most types of address

translation needs. This feature is covered in Chapter 7,

Address Translation.

17

VPN

NetDefendOS supports a range of Virtual Private Network

(VPN) solutions. Support exists for IPsec, L2TP and PPTP as

well as SSL VPN with security policies definable for

individual VPN connections. This topic is covered in

Chapter 9, VPN.

TLS Termination

NetDefendOS supports TLS termination so that the

NetDefend Firewall can act as the end point for connections

by HTTP web-browser clients (this feature is sometimes

called SSL termination). For detailed information, see

Section 6.2.10, “The TLS ALG”.

Anti-Virus Scanning

NetDefendOS features integrated anti-virus functionality.

Traffic passing through the NetDefend Firewall can be

subjected to in-depth scanning for viruses, and virus sending

hosts can be black-listed and blocked. For details of this

feature, seeSection 6.4, “Anti-Virus Scanning”.

Intrusion Detection and

Prevention

To mitigate application-layer attacks towards vulnerabilities

in services and applications, NetDefendOS provides a

powerful Intrusion Detection and Prevention (IDP) engine.

The IDP engine is policy-based and is able to perform

high-performance scanning and detection of attacks and can

perform blocking and optional black-listing of attacking

hosts. More information about the IDP capabilities of

NetDefendOS can be found in Section 6.5, “Intrusion

Detection and Prevention”.

Note

Full IDP is available on all D-Link NetDefend

product models as a subscription service. On

some models, a simplified IDP subsystem is

provided as standard.

Web Content Filtering

NetDefendOS provides various mechanisms for filtering web

content that is deemed inappropriate according to a web usage

policy. With Web Content Filtering (WCF) web content can

be blocked based on category (Dynamic WCF), malicious

objects can be removed from web pages and web sites can be

whitelisted or blacklisted. More information about this topic

can be found in Section 6.3, “Web Content Filtering”.

Traffic Management

NetDefendOS provides broad traffic management capabilities

through Traffic Shaping, Threshold Rules (certain models

only) and Server Load Balancing.

Traffic Shaping enables limiting and balancing of bandwidth;

Threshold Rules allow specification of thresholds for sending

alarms and/or limiting network traffic; Server Load Balancing

enables a device running NetDefendOS to distribute network

load to multiple hosts. These features are discussed in detail

in Chapter 10, Traffic Management.

Note

Threshold Rules are only available on certain

D-Link NetDefend product models.

Operations and Maintenance

Administrator management of NetDefendOS is possible

through either a Web-based User Interface (the WebUI) or via

a Command Line Interface (the CLI). NetDefendOS also

1.1. Features Chapter 1. NetDefendOS Overview

18

provides detailed event and logging capabilities plus support

for monitoring through SNMP. More detailed information

about this topic can be found in Chapter 2, Management and

Maintenance.

ZoneDefense

NetDefendOS can be used to control D-Link switches using

the ZoneDefense feature. This allows NetDefendOS to isolate

portions of a network that contain hosts that are the source of

undesirable network traffic.

Note

NetDefendOS ZoneDefense is only available on

certain D-Link NetDefend product models.

IPv6

IPv6 addresses are supported on interfaces and within

rulesets. This feature is not enabled by default and must be

explicitly enables on an Ethernet interface. More information

about this topic can be found in Section 3.2, “IPv6 Support”.

NetDefendOS Documentation

Reading through the available documentation carefully will ensure getting the most out of the

NetDefendOS product. In addition to this document, the reader should also be aware of the

companion reference guides:

• The CLI Reference Guide which details all NetDefendOS CLI commands.

• The NetDefendOS Log Reference Guide which details all NetDefendOS log event messages.

Together, these documents form the essential reference material for NetDefendOS operation.

1.1. Features Chapter 1. NetDefendOS Overview

1.2. NetDefendOS Architecture

1.2.1. State-based Architecture

The NetDefendOS architecture is centered around the concept of state-based connections.

Traditional IP routers or switches commonly inspect all packets and then perform forwarding

decisions based on information found in the packet headers. With this approach, packets are

forwarded without any sense of context which eliminates any possibility to detect and analyze

complex protocols and enforce corresponding security policies.

Stateful Inspection

NetDefendOS employs a technique called stateful inspection which means that it inspects and

forwards traffic on a per-connection basis. NetDefendOS detects when a new connection is being

established, and keeps a small piece of information or state in its state table for the lifetime of that

connection. By doing this, NetDefendOS is able to understand the context of the network traffic

which enables it to perform in-depth traffic scanning, apply bandwidth management and a variety of

other functions.

The stateful inspection approach additionally provides high throughput performance with the added

advantage of a design that is highly scalable. The NetDefendOS subsystem that implements stateful

inspection will sometimes be referred to in documentation as the NetDefendOS state-engine.

1.2.2. NetDefendOS Building Blocks

The basic building blocks in NetDefendOS are interfaces, logical objects and various types of rules

(or rule sets).

Interfaces

Interfaces are the doorways through which network traffic enters or leaves the NetDefend Firewall.

Without interfaces, a NetDefendOS system has no means for receiving or sending traffic.

The following types of interface are supported in NetDefendOS:

• Physical interfaces - These correspond to the actual physical Ethernet interfaces.

• Sub-interfaces - These include VLAN and PPPoE interfaces.

• Tunnel interfaces - Used for receiving and sending traffic through VPN tunnels.

Interface Symmetry

The NetDefendOS interface design is symmetric, meaning that the interfaces of the device are not

fixed as being on the "insecure outside" or "secure inside" of a network topology. The notion of

what is inside and outside is totally for the administrator to define.

Logical Objects

Logical objects can be seen as predefined building blocks for use by the rule sets. The address book,

for instance, contains named objects representing host and network addresses.

Another example of logical objects are services which represent specific protocol and port

combinations. Also important are the Application Layer Gateway (ALG) objects which are used to

define additional parameters on specific protocols such as HTTP, FTP, SMTP and H.323.
