See the product’s datasheet for detailed information on a specific model.
SD-WAN Mode
The ZyWALL VPN models (see table ZyWALL USG Key Feature Comparison Table) can be managed through Nebula Orchestrator using SD-WAN mode. A ZyWALL VPN which is not in SD-WAN mode is in standalone mode and can be managed directly using the Web Configurator or the Command-Line Interface (CLI).
Note: If your ZyWALL VPN is in SD-WAN mode and want to return it to standalone mode, you need to reset the ZyWALL VPN to the factory defaults using the reset button (see the Troubleshooting chapter).
SD-WAN (Software-Defined WAN) uses a multi-tiered management system to optimize VPN WAN connections between devices across the Internet.
Some key features of the Nebula Orchestrator SD-WAN include:
• Multi-tiered accounts with different privilege levels and permissions
• Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP)
• AutoVPN, which simplifies the procedure for establishing VPN tunnels between VPN devices.
• Dynamic Path Selection and WAN optimization
• License management
• Alerts to view events, such as when an ZyWALL VPN goes down
• Graphically monitor ZyWALL VPN traffic.
Standalone and SD-WAN Mode Feature Comparison Table shows a feature comparison between ZyWALL VPN devices in SD-WAN mode and standalone mode at the time of writing.
Note: For hotspot management, VPN50 firmware needs to be updated to v4.35 or later.
VPN models in SD-WAN mode do not support SSL VPN, but support L2TP over IPSec as the VPN client for a Client-to-Site VPN scenario.

Switching to SD-WAN mode
If your ZyWALL VPN is currently in standalone mode and want to switch to SD-WAN mode, do the following steps:
Note: Your ZyWALL VPN is in standalone mode by default. Older firmware versions may not support SD-WAN. If you are having problems with switching to SD-WAN mode, make sure your firmware is up-to-date.
1 Access the Web Configurator login screen. To do this, first make sure that your device is properly connected (see the Quick Start Guide). In your browser, go to http://192.168.1.1. By default, the Zyxel Device automatically routes this request to its HTTPS server, and it is recommended to keep this setting.
2 In the Login screen, click SD-WAN mode.
3 Click the link to the Nebula portal (https://nebula.zyxel.com/) in the following screen.
4 Click Get Started.
5 Click Login or Sign Up to go to the Nebula Orchestrator.
6 Follow the instructions in the Initial Setup Wizard or see the SD-WAN User’s Guide for more information on registering a ZyWALL VPN through ZTP.
Registration at myZyxel
myZyxel is Zyxel’s online services center where you can register your Zyxel Device and manage subscription services available for your Zyxel Device (see Configuration > Licensing > Registration > Service for services available for your Zyxel Device).
• For Zyxel Devices that already have firmware version 4.25 or later, you have to register your Zyxel Device and activate the corresponding service at myZyxel (through your Zyxel Device).
• For Zyxel Devices upgrading to firmware version 4.25 or later, you may skip registering your Zyxel Device and activating the corresponding service at myZyxel (through your Zyxel Device). However, it is highly recommended to at least register your Zyxel Device. At the time of writing, the Firmware Upgrade license providing Cloud Helper new firmware notifications, is free when you register your Zyxel Device.
Note: You need to create a myZyxel account at http://portal.myZyxel.com before you can register your device and activate the services at myZyxel.
You may need your Zyxel Device’s serial number and LAN MAC address to register it at myZyxel. See the label at the back of the Zyxel Device’s for details.
Grace Period
UTM licenses have a 15-day grace period after a license expires. Services will continue to work in this period during which you will receive notifications to renew your license(s). New license(s) are valid for 1 year from the date of purchase.
Applications
These are some Zyxel Device application scenarios.
Security Router
Security includes a Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) firewall, and UTM (Unified Threat Management). All models need a license to use UTM (Unified Threat Management) features.
IPv6 Routing
The Zyxel Device supports IPv6 Ethernet, PPP, VLAN, and bridge routing. You may also create IPv6 policy routes and IPv6 objects. The Zyxel Device can also route IPv6 packets through IPv4 networks using different tunneling methods.
VPN Connectivity
Set up VPN tunnels with other companies, branch offices, telecommuters, and business travelers to provide secure access to your network. AS is an Authentication Server in the below figure.
SSL VPN Network Access
SSL VPN lets remote users use their web browsers for a very easy-to-use VPN solution. A user just browses to the Zyxel Device’s web address and enters his user name and password to securely connect to the Zyxel Device’s network. Here full tunnel mode creates a virtual connection for a remote user and gives him a private IP address in the same subnet as the local network so he can access network resources in the same way as if he were part of the internal network.
User-Aware Access Control
Set up security policies to restrict access to sensitive information and shared resources based on the user who is trying to access it. In the following figure user A can access both the Internet and an internal file server. User B has a lower level of access and can only access the Internet. User C is not even logged in, so and cannot access either the Internet or the file server.
Load Balancing
Set up multiple connections to the Internet on the same port, or different ports, including cellular interfaces. In either case, you can balance the traffic loads between them.
Management Overview
Web ConfiguratorIf you log into the Zyxel Device for the first time, the Choose A Mode To Start screen appears.

Note: Screenshots and graphics in this book may differ slightly from your product due to differences in product features or web configurator brand style. Most screen shots in this guide come from the USG110 and USG60W.
Web Configurator Access
1 Make sure your Zyxel Device hardware is properly connected. See the Quick Start Guide.
2 In your browser go to http://192.168.1.1. By default, the Zyxel Device automatically routes this request to its HTTPS server, and it is recommended to keep this setting. The Login screen appears.
3 Type the user name (default: “admin”) and password (default: “1234”).
If you have a OTP (One-Time Password) token generate a number and enter it in the One-Time Password field. The number is only good for one login. You must use the token to generate a new number the next time you log in.
4 Click Login. After you log in for the first time using the default user name and password, you must change the default admin password in the Update Admin Info screen. Enter a new password of from 1 to 64 characters.
In Configuration > Object > User/Group > Setting, you can enable Password Complexity to require a new password to consist of at least 8 characters and at most 64, where at least 1 character must be a number, at least 1 a lower case letter, at least 1 an upper case letter and at least 1 a special character from the keyboard, such as !@#$%^&*()_+. You can also require periodic changing of the password in that screen by configuring Password must changed every (days).
Make a note of your new password, enter it in the following screen, then click Apply.
5 A Terms of Use screen displays. Read the statement, select the checkbox, and then click Acknowledge to proceed.
6 The Network Risk Warning screen displays any unregistered or disabled security services. If your Zyxel Device is not registered, you will see a prompt to register it. Select how often to display the screen and click OK.

Tables and Lists
Web Configurator tables and lists are flexible with several options for how to display their entries.
Click a column heading to sort the table’s entries according to that column’s criteria.
Click the down arrow next to a column heading for more options about how to display the entries. The options available vary depending on the type of fields in the column. Here are some examples of what you can do:
• Sort in ascending or descending (reverse) alphabetical order
• Select which columns to display
• Group entries by field
• Show entries in groups
• Filter by mathematical operators (<, >, or =) or searching for text
Select a column heading cell’s right border and drag to re-size the column.
Select a column heading and drag and drop it to change the column order. A green check mark displays next to the column’s title when you drag the column to a valid new location.
Use the icons and fields at the bottom of the table to navigate to different pages of entries and control how many entries display at a time.
The tables have icons for working with table entries. You can often use the [Shift] or [Ctrl] key to select multiple entries to remove, activate, or deactivate.
Here are descriptions for the most common table icons.
Common Table Icons 
Label
Description
Add
Click this to create a new entry. For features where the entry’s position in the numbered list is important (features where the Zyxel Device applies the table’s entries in order like the security policy for example), you can select an entry and click Add to create a new entry after the selected entry.
Edit
Double-click an entry or select it and click Edit to open a screen where you can modify the entry’s settings. In some tables you can just click a table entry and edit it directly in the table. For those types of tables small red triangles display for table entries with changes that you have not yet applied.
Remove
To remove an entry, select it and click Remove. The Zyxel Device confirms you want to remove it before doing so.
Activate
To turn on an entry, select it and click Activate.
Inactivate
To turn off an entry, select it and click Inactivate.
Connect
To connect an entry, select it and click Connect.
Disconnect
To disconnect an entry, select it and click Disconnect.
References
Select an entry and click References to check which settings use the entry.
Move
To change an entry’s position in a numbered list, select it and click Move to display a field to type a number for where you want to put that entry and press [ENTER] to move the entry to the number that you typed. For example, if you type 6, the entry you are moving becomes number 6 and the previous entry 6 (if there is one) gets pushed up (or down) one.
Working with Lists
When a list of available entries displays next to a list of selected entries, you can often just double-click an entry to move it from one list to the other. In some lists you can also use the [Shift] or [Ctrl] key to select multiple entries, and then use the arrow button to move them to the other list.
