13Installing the appliance
Restoring the appliance firmware with the Symantec Gateway Security OS Restore CD-ROM
Restoring the appliance firmware with the Symantec Gateway
Security OS Restore CD-ROM
The Symantec Gateway Security OS Restore CD-ROM contains a Symantec Gateway Security 1600
Series v3.0 restore program. The restore program returns the appliance to its original factory
condition. The difference between this restore procedure and the reset button procedure is that using
the OS Restore CD-ROM will also delete any license files previously installed. You boot the OS Restore
CD-ROM in a computer connected directly or by a network to the appliance.
Caution: The OS restore operation results in the complete overwriting of your existing appliance
configuration. All configuration and license data is lost. You will need to reinstall your licenses.
For information on preserving your configuration settings, see the Symantec Gateway Security 1600
v3.0 Series Administration Guide.
Using the Symantec Gateway Security OS Restore CD-ROM that came with your security gateway,
place it in the computer that you would use in the event you needed to restore your firmware. Once the
Symantec Gateway Security OS Restore CD-ROM boots, it will tell you whether it found the appropriate
hardware to continue the process. If it cannot use your network card, locate another computer with a
different network interface type.
The requirements for the computer running the operating system restore program are as follows:
A computer with a BIOS that lets you boot from an IDE (ATAPI) CD-ROM.
Intel x86 based.
Bootable from a CD-ROM.
PII class processor with at least 64 MB of RAM
A single installed 10/100 or 10/100/1000 MB network interface card such as the following:
Intel PRO/100+ SGS Adapter (PILA8470B)
Linksys EtherFast 10/100 LAN Card (LNE100TX)
Netgear Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter (FA312TX)
3Com OfficeConnect Fast Ethernet NIC (3CSOHO100-TX)
3Com Fast EtherLink XL PCI NIC (3C905B-TX)
Ethernet cable to connect the appliance directly to the eth0 network interface on the computer or a
connection to a switch or hub to which the appliance is attached.
Restoring the appliance firmware requires that you turn on the appliance while the reset button is
depressed. To successfully restore the appliance firmware to its original factory condition, you must
allow this process to execute without interruption. This process can take approximately 15 minutes to
complete.
To restore the appliance firmware
1 Turn off the power to the appliance using the power switch.
2 Connect the computer used to restore the appliance to the eth0 network interface, on the back of
the appliance, using an Ethernet cable. You can also connect the computer using a switch or hub to
which the appliance is connected.
3 On the computer used to restore the appliance, do the following:
Set the computer to boot from the CD-ROM.
Insert the Symantec Gateway Security OS Restore CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
Reboot the computer.

ready indicator on the front panel begins to blink, indicating that the appliance is waiting for
a confirmation of the network boot command.
To confirm the network boot command, press and hold the reset button for 1-2 seconds, and
then release it. The network boot communication is attempted through the computer
connected to eth0.
If the network boot communication is successful, the restore process starts. This process can take
15-20 minutes. The appliance reboots automatically after the restore process is complete, and then
turns off.
6 Restart the computer used to do the restore and, during the initial boot process, remove the CD-
ROM from the drive. The CD-ROM is not ejected automatically during the restart.
7 Turn on the security gateway using the power switch, and then perform the initial setup process
again.
For information regarding initial setup, see the Symantec Gateway Security 1600 Series Getting
Started Guide.
Chapter

Developing a security plan
This chapter includes the following topics:
Defining your security policy
Educating users
Security policy worksheets
Defining your security policy
Ideally, your security policy should be captured in a document that describes your organization’s
network security needs and concerns. Creating this document is the first step in building an effective
overall network security system and should be done prior to installation.
Developing a security plan helps you collect the information needed to install and configure your
Symantec security gateway.
Your security plan details the implementation of your security policy. Based on the security concerns
and trade-offs of your overall policy, your security plan should contain a set of tasks. One of these
tasks should consist of establishing procedures and rules for access to resources located on your
network.
These resources include:
Host computers and servers
Works tati ons
Connection devices (gateways, routers, bridges, and repeaters)
Terminal servers and remote access servers
Networking and applications software
Information in files and databases
The firewall component of Symantec Gateway Security 1600 Series v3.0 is the main tool for enforcing
access security gateway access, allowing you to define a set of rules that allow or deny access to
specific resources throughout your network.
Before writing your security plan
Before you begin writing rules to implement your plan, you need to answer the following questions:
How many points of entry exist on your network? A security gateway defends a single point of
entry. Every point of entry should be protected by a security gateway. A Virtual Private Network
(VPN) server also defends a single point of entry. You must decide what access the VPN server is
going to provide for resources that exist behind the firewall.
What types of services, such as Web or FTP, do you want to allow for internal users?
To what hosts, subnets, and users do you want to allow services?
16 Developing a security plan
Educating users
What external users will have access to your network? Where will they come from and where do
you want to allow them to go? During what hours? For what period of time?
Do you intend to implement a service network?
Do you intend to implement a de-militarized zone (DMZ)?
What types of services do you want to allow for external users and hosts?
What type of authentication will you require for external users? (Strong authentication is
recommended for any access from public networks.)
If you are implementing VPN tunnels between any internal and external hosts, what types of
traffic will be allowed over these tunnels?
Will you place your Web server inside or outside of your protected network, or on a service
network?
Becoming security conscious
Developing and implementing a security plan for the security gateway you are installing should be
only one part of your overall security policy. The security gateway offers the best protection against
uninvited entry into your network. However, the security gateway cannot guard against entry by
people who obtain valid authentication credentials, any more than a sophisticated lock can stop a thief
in possession of the right key.
Formulate goals
Take the time to formulate the specific goals of your security plan. Identify the resources you are
protecting and all possible threats. Protecting your resources from unauthorized external users may be
only one of your goals. You may also need to limit internal access to certain systems to specific users
and groups, within specific time periods. You will need to define these users and groups for the firewall
and how to configure special services to be passed through these systems.
Review issues
You should review your organization’s specific issues in detail before you begin configuring the
security gateway. Your network’s security depends on planning sound policies, implementing them
carefully, and confirming that they work as intended.
Educating users
Your overall site policy involves a numbers of tasks. Of these, user education is most important.
Publish your company’s security policy. Make sure your users are informed of the determination of
would-be invaders and the sophistication of available password guessing programs. Make sure they
understand how common security breaches are and how costly they can be. These facts alone dictate
that users should be encouraged to select passwords that are difficult to crack and to change passwords
regularly.
Involving the user community
When developing the details of your security plan, you should solicit the input of group managers or
leaders on what services they require, for what users, and so on. Explain to users the need for network
security to protect private information, intellectual property, and your business plans.
Notifying affected users
Before implementing policies, notify the user community of your proposed policies. Doing so in
advance can prevent unnecessary frustration on the part of your users.
17Developing a security plan
Security policy worksheets
For instance, if you plan to limit Web services to a single server during specific hours, let this be known
to the affected groups and users. If you plan to pass all email through a dedicated server, or if external
users will be disallowed from accessing certain systems by Telnet, consider passing these changes
along before implementation. Consulting users prior to implementation may save you the time needed
to fine-tune those policies later.
Taking a pro-active stance
Keep in mind that configuring a set of authorization rules on the security gateway is just one piece of
your overall security plan.
To be effective, this plan should also include the following:
Physical security of key systems (especially the security gateway)
Security risk training for users
Guidelines on passwords
Proprietary information policies
Network planning
Security policy worksheets
To aid you in the planning process, we have provided a set of policy planning worksheets. Use these
worksheets to help implement the specific tasks of your security plan and to assist you during the
installation process.
Defining your organization
Begin by defining your organization. Here is where you explore your existing security policy, if any.
Note who will be assigned as administrators, the types of authentication you will use, and how your
administrators will be contacted.

5 Are there any other Internet connections besides the security gateway (such as modems connected
to workstations)?
If yes, list.
6 Will you be using Symantec Client VPN?
Collecting your TCP/IP address
It is important to think about the TCP/IP requirements for your site. This includes information about
running Domain Name Services (DNS), types and names of domains on your network, and making a list
of protocols used that need to pass through your security gateway.
To collect your TCP/IP address information
1 How is your Domain Name Service (DNS) provided?
2 What type of domain structure is in use at your site?
