ProSafe Wireless-N 8-Port Gigabit VPN Firewall FVS318N
• To maintain security, the wireless VPN firewall rejects a login that uses http://address
rather than the SSL https://address.
• T
he first time that you remotely connect to the wireless VPN firewall with a browser
through an SSL connection, you might get a warning message regarding the SSL
certificate. If you are using a Windows computer with Internet Explorer 7.0 or later, simply
click Yes to accept the certificate.
Tip: If you are
using a Dynamic DNS service such as TZO, you can identify
the WAN IP address of your wireless VPN firewall by running tracert
from the Windows Run menu option. Trace the route to your registered
FQDN. For example, enter
tracert wireless VPN
firewall.mynetgear.net, and the WAN IP address that your ISP
assigned to the wireless VPN firewall is displayed.
Use the Command-Line Interface
You can access the command-line interface (CLI) using the console port on the rear panel of
the wireless VPN firewall (see Rear Panel on p
age 18).
You can access the CLI from a communications terminal when th
e wireless VPN firewall is
still set to its factory defaults (or use your own settings if you have changed them).
To access the CLI:
1. F
rom your computer’s command-line prompt, enter the following command:
telnet <
ip address>
in which ip address
is the IP address of the wireless VPN firewall.
2. Ente
r admin and password when prompted for the login and password information (or
enter guest and password to log in as a read-only guest).
3. Ente
r exit to end the CLI session.
Any configuration changes made through the CLI are not preserved after a reboot or power
cycle u
nless you issue the CLI save command after making the changes.
Use a Simple Network Management Protocol Manager
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) forms part of the Internet Protocol Suite as
defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). SNMP is used in network
management systems such as the NETGEAR ProSafe Network Management Software
(NMS200) to monitor network-attached devices for conditions that warrant administrative
attention.
SNMP exposes management data in the form of variables on the managed systems, which
d
escribe the system configuration. These variables can then be queried (and sometimes set)
by managing applications.
