Administrator Tips
Consider the following operational items:
1. As an option, you can enable remote management if you have to manage distant sites from a
central location (see “Enabling Remote Management Access” on page 6-10).
2. Although rules (see “Using Rules to Block or Allow Specific Kinds of Traffic” on page 4-1) is
the basic way of managing the traffic through your system, you can further refine your control
with the following optional features of the VPN firewall:
– Groups and hosts (see “Managing Groups and Hosts (LAN Groups)” on page 3-6)
– Services (see “Services-Based Rules” on page 4-2)
– Schedules (see “Setting a Schedule to Block or Allow Specific Traffic” on page 4-24)
– Block sites (see “Setting Block Sites (Content Filtering)” on page 4-25)
– Source MAC filtering (see “Enabling Source MAC Filtering” on page 4-27)
– Port triggering (see “Port Triggering” on page 4-28)
