ProSafe Gigabit 8 Port VPN Firewall FVS318G Reference Manual
6-16 VPN Firewall and Network Management
v1.1, August 2010
.
Using an SNMP Manager
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) lets you monitor and manage your VPN firewall
from an SNMP Manager. It provides a remote means to monitor and control network devices, and
to manage configurations, statistics collection, performance, and security.
The SNMP Configuration table lists the SNMP configurations by:
• IP Address: The IP address of the SNMP manager.
• Port: The trap port of the configuration.
• Community: The trap community string of the configuration.
Note: To maintain security, the VPN firewall will reject a login that uses http://address
rather than the SSL https://address.
Note: The first time that you remotely connect to the VPN firewall with a browser via
SSL, you may get a warning message regarding the SSL certificate. If you are
using a Windows computer with Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher, simply click Yes
to accept the certificate.
Note: If you are unable to remotely connect to the VPN firewall after enabling HTTPS
remote management, check whether other user policies, such as the default user
policy, are preventing access.
Note: If you disable secure HTTP remote management, all SSL VPN user connections
will also be disabled.
Tip: If you are using a dynamic DNS service such as TZO, you can identify the WAN IP
address of your VPN firewall by running
tracert from the Windows Run menu
option. Trace the route to your registered FQDN. For example, enter
tracert
FVS318G.mynetgear.net, and the WAN IP address that your ISP assigned to the
VPN firewall is displayed.
